PESESEESELELHLEESOLEDLO0M Speakingt of Sports Oswald Alexander, partner in crime in the New Britain Roller Hockey team with *“Bib” Boucher, qualifies as champion long distance driver after his feat in Sunday afternoon’s game with Meriden, Steve Pierce got away from his man und was ou the way to sneaking a goal past Bill Blount when Alexan- der dove at him a distance of fully v feet. Alexander stopped the goal «il right, but in so doing, he threw vut his left knee and the leg ham- red him greatly last night. e has switched over from first » sccond rush umtil his leg is on .ic mend. Boucher played the spot position in last night's game, Jette, Waterbury goal tender, in- Jurcd his knee in stopping a play tast night. It is a peculiar injury and may lay him up, though he has re- tused to quit. The knock he re- ccived behind the ear that rendered him unconscious last Saturday night has also affected him somewhat, and it may be necessary for him to rest for a time. The Chrysler and Nash teams will play the preliminary game in the amateur league next Thursday night. The league started last night and the game was surprisingly fast. Basketball is on the down grade in Meriden and for that reasom the next game between the Silver City Endees and the New Dritain team will be played in this city. An agree- ment on this was reached last Bat- urday night between Manager Clar- ence Lanpher and Manager Jack Curry. . | Attendance at the roller hockey games at the Stanley Arena is keep- ing up and a surprisingly large number of fans turned out for the first game on Sunday. Doleful pre- dictions at the beginning of the sea- son that the success being met in sports would not last, seems to have | been made a little bit too ecarly. | According to all the shouting from f Philadelphia, a quartet of Co. necti- | cut amateur boxers are due to bite the dust here Friday night when four Quaker City boys swap punches with them at the Mohawk A. C. tournament at the Tabs' hall. Those (‘onnecticut boys who are matched with the visitors feel very diffcrently ahout the entire affair. | 10 RESUNE PLAY south Church Quintet to Meet Sims- After bury “¥” Tomight Tong Layoff.

Mullen signed contracts for the services of the two some months ago but has not made any -plans for fights, The Mullen agreement provided that the next title fights of the two shall be under his auspices and with the N, B. A. ruling that both must defend their titles before February 16, it apepars Chicago is to have two 300 championship bouts. The N. B. A. ordered Mandell to pick an opponent from a group com- posed of Sid Terris, Billy Wallace, Kid Kaplan, Bruce Flowers, Billy Petrolle or Joey Kauffman, Walker's | opponent must be from a group composed of Jack McVey, Dave Shade, Joc Anderson, George Court- ney or the winner of the bout be- tween Phil Kaplan and Maxie Ros- cnbloom. Although none of the fight plans have been drawn and neither of the boxers has commented on the N. B, A. ruling, it seemed certain that Mandell would not choose Bill Pe- trolle for his next championship fight. Recently Mandell went to Minne- | apolis to meet Petrolle, who comes | from Fargo, N. D. In that fight he had about as much to handle as he has ever had. Petrolle scored heav- ily in the early rounds and at about | the middle of the fight shot a right to Mandell's head that sent him champion to the ropes. Mandell re- covered in the late rounds, howe to win the decision, ASKS SPEAKER T0 CUT OWN SALARY Veteran Diamond Star to Get| Release Otherwise | , Jan. 24 (A—A win- seball events, Tampa, Fla. ter of startling bringing wholesale redistribution of many brilliant players now seems to offer new fields of speculation con- cerning Tris Speaker, who last year played centertield for the Washing- ton Scnators.

The visitors, who had won all six games vlayed before last night, were handi- capped by the ahsence of two men, but the club met it on even terms by retaining Kley and Sliva on the bench for three quarters of the contest in order to work out its com- bination for Boston and to rest Kley for his game tonight. The club led after the first two minutes. F. Daly made the first point. for the visitors when he was fouled shortly after the opening whistle, and it was the only point Torring- ton scored in the first quarter. With {two minutes and 15 seconds gone Joe Goffa plunked in a fleld goal to send New Rritain ahead. Gill made another and Goffa a foul. Fouls by Kley and Gill were followed by another basket by the latter when Goffa broke up a pass in beauti- ful shape and passed to his captain under the basket. Joe himself made it 11-1 before the period ended. Zujko replaced Kley as the sec- ond period started. After 30 seconds Hull caged a shot from far up the floor and made another of the same variety after Benjamin had found the hoop. This period was fought a little more evenly and ended with New Britain in front by 21-9. My- cock of the visitors was ejected on fouls during the quarter. Gill and Goffa began to pile up the score as the third period got under way, and the tally was 32-15 at its close. The last quarter saw themyrunning wild and getting five baskets between them, while Grusha, who had en- tered the game, made two further double-deckers for the locals. This period developed into a slaughter , land the scorc would have been even higher had not the club players missed a number of easy shots. Gill played his usual excellent floor game and got back into the scoring with a vengeance, piling up 18 points in a brilljant shooting ex- hibition. Goffa accumulated 15, but his main contribution to the victory was his exceptional work in break- ing up the passes of the visitors. Zujko played a most creditable game and held the towering Hull on even terms at jumping. He is proving a worthy successor to Kley. The de- fensive play of Compagnone was the hest he has shown this season and gave the ball to New Britain after almost every shot taken by the Com- ets. For the visitors, Hull featured with four beautiful shots from the middle of the court, with F. Daly playing a nice floor game. The sum- mary: Boys' Club .t GIIL rf ..., Goffa, If-c .. Grusha, 1f .

C., according to available information. He is scheduled to fight Bob Ham- ilton of Philadelphija, lightweight, who only recently handed Pancho Villa of Hartford a terrific beating in a Hartford ring. Hamilton will be one of four amateur boxers from the Quaker City who will furnish the sensations of the fistic program ‘which is being prepared. In his fight with Villa, Hamilton sent the Capitol City boy down al- most at will, displaying & punching power that has made him a marvel to the Hartford fans. Taylor is in the best condition possible and he promises a real scrap against the Philadelphian, Frank Columbo of Windsor locks, the most promising 140 pounder @ the state who won so handily from Rollo Roland of Waterbury in the last tournament, will trade punches with Ted Morgan of Philadelphia. Morgan is a classy boxer and & hefty puncher. Johnny Clinch has entered in the 145 pound class and he will probably be stacked up against Al McGurk. Clinch will have to be at his best to beat the Phila- delphia scrapper as he is one of the toughest men on Johnny's list. The main bout brings Bishop Hart, a colored boy, who has been creating a sensaiton in the 165 pound class In Pennsylvania, Up to the present time, Bill »Bruno of 8pringfield is the only other entry in the class, but officlals of the Mo- hawk A. C. expect Joe Howard, former middleweight champion, and Jack Kelly of Waterbury, present middleweight champion, to file ap- plications today. Whether either or both will enter the tournament ahis {week will be definitely settied to- day, an dannouncement will be made tomorrow. 1928 FOUTBALL IS LINING UP GREAT Army-Navy Day May Become Even Greater Than of Yore New York, Jan. 24 (UP)—Al- though there may be no Army-Navy football game on November 24, 1928, that date may turn out to be one of the most important of the next grid- iron season. Instead of the big classic between the two service elevens for the sea- son's finale, there may be three col- orful attractions with all members of “The Big Three,” the two acad- emies and one prominent western eleven as the participants. The probable lineup for that date follows: Harvard vs. Yale at New Haven, Navy ve. Princeton at Philadel- phia. Army vs. Nebraska at New York. The Harvard-Yale game falls on November 2¢ this year and prom- ises to be of more than traditional interest because of the bright pros. pects for winning elevens at both in- stitutiona, ‘What may be the final effort to heal the breach between the two service institutions is now under way in Washington and if negotiations fail both academies are going to schedule the strongest and most de- sirable opponent available for the open date. 1t is generally accepted that if the navy does not play the Army, the Middies will meet Princeton, Be- cause of the previous cordial rela- tions between Princeton and the Naval Academy, the officials of both schools are said to favor the game. A number of institutions have opened negotiations with West Point authorities for the Navy date. Ne- braska, one of the most colorful as well as powerful elevens in the mid- west, is not only willing to meet the Army, but is making every effort to close the date as soon as péasible. Southern Methodist university of Dallas, Tex., which perhaps has de- veloped the forward pass to a greater advantage than any other eleven in the country, wants to play the Army in a final game of the season instead of the second game. Army officials are said to be ser- lously considering shifting the Southern Methodist game to Novem- ber 24 and acheduling another op- ponent, perhaps Detroit university, on the vacant date. i Illinois congressmen want the Uni- versity of Chicago to go after the date on Army's schedule, but so far Alonzo Stagg has taken no definite stand on the matter. Some one suggested a game be- tween Stanford and Army, but since the Trojans already have a post. season game with Notre Dame all possibility of that proposal has been removed. ‘Whatever happens ft seems that the football public will be offered three major attractions where they had only one last season. WON'T BAN COUTD Hubert C. Milot of Quebec Hockey Team Refuses to Accede to De- mand of Boston President. Quebec, Jan. 24 UP—Referring to | the request of President Brown of the Boston Hockey club of the Can- adian-American League to ban Billy Coutu, New Haven player, Hubert C. Milot of the Quebec sextet said today he would be “the last man on earth” to prevent Coutu from find- ing & living In heckey. Brown yestorday petitionsd Presi- dent Clapp of the league to expal Coutu for his assault on Geerge Redding of the Tigers last Sunday. Brown informed Clapp that Ceutu's actions had been protested by Que- bec. “Coutu has been admitted in the league and it i1s up to him to adopt a good attitude on the jce to- wards other players,” Mr. Milot sald. “I have recen:ly written President Clapp on his way of playing heckey saying 1 feared that something might happen in the future if he did not improve his manners.” New York—The Brooklyn Visita- tion Triangles defeated the New York Celtica, 28 to 24, in 2 profes- j#ional basketba.l game, Power is the mover of I UNDERSTAND -THAT -THE INSURANCE COMPANY WILL PAY Prices 2-Ton (6<viinder) $1598 2Ton (Gcviinder) « - 1648 WsTen: » o o « 1248 1Ten G-Boy- - » 898 % -Ton Commerchl 670 (Chasols prices 1-0.5.
