Speaking of Sports intention of doing thing after the fight was "When Kelly hit me in the pit of the stomach and all but knocked me out in the second round, I didn't know I was hurt so badly,” Hart sald. “In the third round, I got so weak that I didn't think I could go through with the bout. I was in ter- ritic pain and though I was serious- ly injured. An examination by a physician after the tournament showed that I didn’t have any serl- ous imjury but I want to tell you that Kelly is the hardest puncher I ever came across.” Last night's tournament was cer- tainly the feature tournament of the history of amateur fighting in this city. We have never eeen a fighter kayoed so completely in such a short time as Felix Cormier was last night at the hands of Joe Zotter. We have never seen a boxing bout any funnier ‘than the one put on by Lup! and Tabbeloone. We have never seen a better exhibition of fighting than Bob Hamilton's work nor was there ever a gamer sacrapper than Ray Taylor of Terryville who weathered the best that Hamilton could send in to him, + Al in all, the tournament bristled ‘with action and every angle of box- ing was covered by the fighters. An- other sensational evening of fistic entertainment is in store for the fans of tbis city In two weeks when the Canadian team comes here. Harry Smith, the welterweight, is about the best thing at his weight in the welter class in the world. He will be with the visiting team in its showing here. New Britain lost in roller hockey to Hartford last night but the team will have another opportunity of taking the Capital City teams’ measure Monday night when Hart- ford returns to this city for another game. New Britain meets Walling- ford in Wallingford tonight and Wallingford comes here tomorrow afternoon, The Renaissance Five of New York will be out to win against the New Britain basketball team tonight at the Stanley Arena. There should be plenty of action in this game, ‘The High school quintet turned in the best job of the year in Meriden vesterday when it won a game that was Yeatured through three over- time periods of play. —_— The Renaissance Five defeated the Mohawks ‘of Holyoke last night 34 to 26.

A guy named Ray Morrill told me he went to bed late Tuesday night (or maybe it was Wed. morning) and was dreaming he was out in the middle of the ocean in a row boat, wheh he was suddenly awak- ened by the roof of a chicken coop crashing against his bedroom win- dow. Being startled, he wasn't suro whether it was an earthquake or somebody rocking the boat. Any- ways he takes no chances on being caught in a storm and grabs a broom which happened to be handy and uses it for an oar and begins row- ing for the shore, He woke up feel- ing as foolish as an old maid caught in the act 8¢ reading a love story. My flivver and me was coming home from an outa town lodge meet- ing and I had all I could do to pre- vent the flivver from doing side loop-the-loops, not to mention spiral turns. The wind had more force be- hind it than a hard working pile- driver and as much respect for a flivver as a brick has for an antique vase. The wind came in guests, my breath in short pants, with my ton. sils getting the full benefit. My nerves was on edge and more than once the flivver was on the edge of the road. Each minute I thodght the flivver would leave the road and do a Lindbergh for a cross-country fiight. At times the flivver would ecreak and groan, and then stall helplessly. Then again it would act like it was on its way home from a wild party and make me wonder if the bimbho at the last filling station where I'd stopped had fed it raw meat, instead of gas and oil. T tled one end of a towrope to a couple of heavy auto jacks and the other end to the steering wheel and then heaved the Jacks overboard, as I figured that any extra weight, no matter how small, would help to keep the flivver where {t belonged and right side up. The wind blew the side curtains, patches and all, inside out. (the tircs didn’t need any help, they'd already blown themselves out) and then started on the top. First a small rent appeared, then another and an- other, until they was enough to make an apartment. The rents be- came dissatisfied with conditions in general and sought a new lease as a furious gust removes the top, rents and all, with hardly a struggle, A billboard, advertising “Miracle Soap, the soap with a future” left its moorings, traveled a short dis- tance and then stopped suddenly, but not until it hd slapped the face of the flivver radiator and bruised {the license plate. The flivver waa knocked back on its haunches but struggled gamely to regain its feet (I mean whecls) and ounce more face the perilous winds and all that came with it, which was plenty, A large bathtub, which had becn decorating the front porch of a house under construction got tired waiting for the plumbers who had {evidently forgotten it and was awk- Johnson 3.

THREE OVERTIME PERIODS ' NECESSARY TO END GAME Sensational Long Sbot by Landino Gives New Britsin|_ Victory Over Meriden Team—Thrilling Battle Wit- !~ nessed by Large Crowd—Captain Saunders Goes on Scoring Rampage—Locals Show Complete Reversal of Form—Two Players Banished for Fighting. Standing in the far corner of the floor' ‘Three Point” Landino tossed in a sensational hasket to give the New Britain High school basketball ' team a victory over the Laurel Bus- iness college team of Meriden last evening at the Community hall in Meriden after three overtime per- iods in the most thrilling and hard fought battle ever staged in the Sil- ver City. Both teams battled neck and neck throughout the entire game, neither being able to get a winuing lead over the other. Th crowd was in a oonstant uproar as one team, and then the other, swept into the Jead. The locals were handicapped by the absence of Kraszewski, regular forward, and were hit hard in the first quarter of the game when Za- leski, the other forward, was ban- ished by the referee after a brief clash with Smith of the Laurel team.. Tomkiewits of Meriden was put out of the game a minute later for fighting. With two substitutes in the game, Captain Fred 8aunders rose to his greatest heights and be- came a scoring fool. Outjumping and outplaying his opponents Saun- ders bore the entire brunt of the' locals' offensive and swept through the Meriden defense time after time to cage a basket. His playing easily featured the work of both teams. All of his shots were sensational and swished through the net with dead- | ly results. After a hectic period both teams were tied at three all in the first quarter. New Britain started fast in the second quarter and started | to run up a good lead. The Laurel team came back strong and climbed up on top of the locals before the half ended. The score at half time found New Britain in the van by a 10 to 8 score. The third quarter found both teams staying strictly on the defensive and New Britain was leading 13 to 12, at the end of ! the canto. With a half minute to g0 and the score deadl cked at 15 all, Saunders, standing on his own |foul line, threw the ball cleanly through the net for what appeared to be the winning basket. Just as the timer was about to blow the whistle Mastriano brought the crowd to its feet with a beautiful one hand shot that tied the score. | Neither team scored in the first overtime period. In the second period Johnson tossed in a buket‘ but foul shots by Reckert and S8ow- ka tied the score. With two min- utes of the third overtime period over, Reld took a long heave at the basket, Saunders, taking the ball off the backboard, shot a quick pass to Landino who caged the winning markers. Saunder caged another basket a few minutes later to put| the game on ice. | The entire team played a wonder- plete form reversal from the Hart- |ford and Colleglate Prep games. Reckert and Reid, playing their first game of the year, were towers of strength on the defensive while Landino aitd S8owka tied up their men throughout the entire game. Basket by Basket Saunders opened the game up by sinking a foul shot. He followed it up a minute later by caging a basket on a jump ball play under Meriden's basket. | Treloar and Mastriano came through with a basket and a foul ipoint to tie up the score at the quarter. Zaleski tossed in a beautiful | goal from the- side court to open the second period. Reckert tossed in & {foul point but Mastriano followed | ‘with a field goal. Saunders sank a foul shot. Landino caged a foul and Treloar followed with a clean basket. Saunders caged a basket as the half | ended to give New Britain the lead, 10 to 8. Baunders opened the second {half with a field goal but Meriden came back with two baskets by 8mith and E. Johnson. Reckert scor- ed a foul point as the period ended land the locals held a 13 to 12 lead. Two baskets by H. Johnson and a | I basket by Saunders left the ecore tied with 30 seconds to go.

Reckert lost his balance as he tossed his ehot but the ball dropped cleanly through. After two minutes of play- ing in the third period SBaunders passed to Landino who dropped in a sensational basket to score the win- ning points.

TENORID FIGHTS FLONERS T0 DRAW Filipino Proves Big Disappoint- ment in Garden Bout New York, Jan. 28 (UP)—Lope Tenorio, the Filipino who came to New York widely-heralded as a promising countender for Sammy Mandell's lightweight title, proved the dusky New Rochelle, N. Y., fighter, hold rim to a draw. Much was expected of Tenorio be- cause of recent victories over Stanis- laus Loayza, once a prominent chal- lerger for the 136-crown, and Joe Glick, the tough junior lightweight from Brooklyn. The little brown man proved a willing fighter, but one absolutety devoid of a punch. He showed noth- ing In this fight to warrant being considered a likely opponent for the lightweight champion. Many ringalde critics gave Tenorlo an edge over Flowers, but the ref- eree and judges called it a draw and no one was interested enough to protest the decision. It was one of the tamest fights of the winter season. Flowers himself had been coming on fast, but his policy of fighting two and three times a week seems to have taken a great deal of his punch and stamina away from him. He fought only in streaks and was far from the aggressive, rushing fighter of several months back. 1 insofar as it pertains to securities, is | Branch 22. masculine, but insofar as it pertains | to apartments where familles will live, it is feminine.” of nine accounts in the cosmetic and women's wear fleld. and & man weuld be sent eut o - hibit it to the customer because $¢ lha latter's prejudice against IMPI]RTANT OFFICE| " soersos o wesmme A mass meetng will be held Sunday evening at 7:30 at Odd lows' hall on Arch street under auspices of the Workmen's Circls, Mr. Bruskin from | quarters will speak in Yiddish the subject “Why Everyone Sho Join the Workmen's Circle.* 3 An entertainment will follew the meeting.
