Speaking of Sports The Meriden Endees will be a considerably changed team this week following the announcement from Holyoke that Jerry Conway, star center, had signed with Vic Hanson's Syracuse team. Conway is rated as ome of the best centers in basketball and he could easily have connected with & professional team before it he had cared to. He has been the mainstay of the Meriden Endees in state league play and with his departure will go the strongest defense man the Silver City team has. “Kisky" Feldman evidently has declded to cast his lot entirely with | the Bristol Endees. He has severed his connections with the Hartford Yankecs and, more important than that, he has resigned from the Springfield Y.:M. H, A. team, Fans in this section who are following the fortunes of the teams in the Nutmeg State circult, will again see the fa- mous combination of Malcolm and Ieldman in action. Carlo Restelll, after his showing ' with the New Britain team Saturday night, has been signed by Manager Clarence Lanpher. Carl practiced with the team last Wednesday night and was given a trial in the game with the Mohawks of Holyoke. His play was of the sensational variety | and he will be retained as & member+| of the squad. The team will be kept as Is for the | present according to Manager Lan- pher, If there was any cutting down to be doue, it would be a hard thing 10 select any of the men who played Saturday night for release. New | Britain needs a squad as large as the team was -Baturday night and = marked difference has been shown in the play of the quintet. Arrangements have been made to play the Renaissance Five of Har- lem, N. Y., a week from Saturday, January 28. This will be the second game between New Britain and the New York team, and it will be a | tough battle. The Celtics, who play in Hartford tomorrow night against the Yankees, will play in this city on February 8. | Becpuse of these games, New Brit- ain will meet the ‘Bristol Endees in league contests in this city on Jan- uary 25 and in Bristol on February 1. These aré two Wednesday nights. Because both teams play on Satur- day nights, one or the other would liave to lose one Saturday date in carrying out the league schedule so both managers have arranged to stage the games on Wedneaday nights, The Celtios are also scheduled to play here on a Wednesday night. YALE EXPEDITION 0 UNEARTH CITY, Dura Hes Been Buried in Sands 3,900 Years New Haven, Conn,, Jan. 16 (UP) —Burled beneath desert sands for 2200 years, the ancient city of Dura, on the Euphrates, will be evacuated by an archaeological expedition from Yale university. Thoe work will be cogdueted in collaboration with the French acad- | cmy, most of the expense being borne by the gencral education board of New York. The city was an ancient Assyrian fortress named Dura, later replaced by & Macecdonian military colony about 300 B. C, and the name changed to Europa, the name of its Macedonian founder. Later the city became Semitized and following which it was under the domination of the Parthians and the Romans. During the third century A. D. the Romans left the city and it became 4w part of the desert as it is now. Geautiful frescoes were found in the ruins of what had been a forti- ficd city by a detachment of British | soldiers in 1920. The French acad- «my and the Syrian government, realizing the importance of the eva- cuations, decided to begin the work. Howcver, neither had sufficient funds for systematically excavating 1hie ruins, In 1926 the committes on xcavations in the Orient at Yale, | 1 by Professor Charles C. Tor- . began negotiations regarding the work. Tollowing the visit last | year of Maurice Pillet, noted archi- | t and archaeologist to Dura an recment was reached with the vrian government whereby Yale re- ved the concession for excavating | the city for six years. In the fall of 27 the general education board w York agreed to give the uni- ty funds which would ensure | rofessor Michacl 1. Rostovtzeff, | le, who conducted the negoti- ations with the Yrench academy, will visit the scene when work is commenced, representing Yale. | Incinded in the ruins found were | temples, fortifications, elaborate | oves. fine sculptures, scores of in- scriptions of great importance and Greek, Latin and Aramale parch- ments, What is Good For Chafing? There is nothing better for chafing than antiseptic pine tar soap lather! Try the fragrant lather of Packer’s Tar Soup and seec how promptly it gives relief. The pine tar is healing, soothing, antiseptic. This pine-wood- sy soap is specially refreshing and stimulating for all toilet purposes. It is as popular for the bath as the shampoo—and it's been the favorite | shampoo for 55 y@rs, recommended | by physiclans..

At their present rate most of the other heavyweight aspirants, - ex- perts think, will have eliminated themselves by spfing unless there is a startling reversal of form. On their latest showing, neither Tom Heeney nor Jack Sharkey, fick- cd as two of the outstanding con- itenders, “can be ballyhooed into a {title match, although the fact that | their match was declared a draw leaves room for further argument and another substantial *“gate. Of the others, Jack Delaney, if he can get over his tendency of being an in-and-outer, looms as the most likely candidate for a “blg shot." If Tunney is to have two cham- pionship bouts it would seem now that Delaney has a good chance of being one of the titie-holders oppo- nents, with Dempsey figuring in the other clash. Or, if there is only one title tilt, a final “elimination” be- tween the two Jacks, Delaney and Dempsey, would furnish an attract- ive melee. As this observation tower has sug- gested before, there is little question that Delaney's backers have high hopes of building him up for one of the main bouts of the year. The erratic French-Canadian always has been a big drawing card from the time he knocked out Paul Berlen- bach four years ago. If he can suc- cessfully negotiate one or two more tests, Delaney will be “sitting pret- ty” in fistic row The Boston Braves may be spur- vear by the acquisition of Rogers Hornsby, It has boen fourteen years since the Hub's National league team up- set all the dope by winning the pen- nant race but the ex-Giant captain may provide the punch and playing spark necded fo make the Braves again a real contender, just as “Rab- bit" Maranville did in 1914. They have a good twirling staft and at least three etars, ex-Glants, who would like nothing better than to wreak a little revenge on the mighty New Yorkers. Kent Green- fleld, right-handed pitching sharp- shooter, is one of the members ot the “anything to beat the Giants” club. Around second base Hornsby will renew working relations with Eddie Farrell where the pair left off in the Glant infield last epring. The Giants have sold, traded or released several platoons of players in the last quarter-century of Joha McGraw's regime but Hornsby s the first to be let go for talking too much or out of turn, as the owners seem convinced ‘he did. McGraw has always leaned to the truculent type, such playcrs of the McGraw school as TLarry Doyle, Buck Herzog, Art Tletcher, Earl 8mith, Heinle Zimmerman, George Kelly, Ross Young and others al- Wways were ready for a debate any time. By comparison with many of them Hornsby was a 8phinx, on the field at least. Rogers 18 an aggres- sive type but his remarks on the diamond usually have been short and to the point, the players say, DODGERS HOPE T0 REMAIN IN RACE Robinson to Have More Than Pifching $tall Next Season New York, Jan. 16 (P—Wilbert Robinson, 61-year-old manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, hopes to have something besides a pitching staff to keep him in the race for the 1928 National League pennant.

Instead, Delaney, the former light heavyweight champion who holds the distinction of being the only man | cver eliminated by Jimmy Maloney of Boston, will practice on Sully Montgomery of Chicago.
