Speaking of Sports Tom Leary kept up his spectacu- lar guarding .work in the game the Renaissance Five Satur- day night.. His man, Ricks, scored two field baskets on him in the first period and added a point on a fouls He failed to score in the second Balt. Leary found time to equal this @core in the second half with two Seld baskets and a foul. In the Bristol game last Wednes- day night, Lesry tied Feldman in points for the time he was in the game. Feldman in all acored 10 points in the game. While he was| playing Leary, he scored three field baskets and’ one foul shot on a’vio- Iation of the rules by Leary. While| Leary was in the game, he saored three fleld baskets and ono foul making the count for the players'| meven points. Another fleld basket and a foul after Leary had been taken out of the contest gave Feld- his extra three points. Johnny Bhechan's opponent, Flall, in Saturday night's game scored only one field basket and a foul for & total of three points. Johnny caged one foul shot but he popped severab-fimes for the basket only to have the ball roll around the rim and come out. Bristol defeated Hartford dn the state basketball league Sagurday night by a score of 20 to 1% This was the third straight defeatfor the Capital City team. Meriden staged 4 second half rally to defeat, Water- bury 28 to 20, This leaves New Britain, in first place technically ahead of the Atlas of New Haven. New Britain has ‘won two games and lost none while the Atlas has won one and lost none. A game scheduled for last Friday between New Britain und New Haven was postponed because of an ice hockey game scheduled in the New Haven arena. If any team in the state meets New Britain while it is playing in the form it showed against the Bris- tol Endees last Wednesday night and against the Renalssance Five on Saturday night, it will have to show mueh better stuff than either these teams have showm, to win. ‘We hope that New Britain will be as good against the New Haven At- las aa it was against the Renais- sance Five and we feel pretty cer- tain that New Britain will more than atone for two defeats suffered at the hands of the Atlas five dur- ing the first round of play. Fans beforo the game Saturday night laughed at those who ventured the opinion that New Britain could beat the New York five. These same fans were the loudest boosters the New Britain five had after the game and rightfully so. New Britain played lke a champlonship outfit and what'is more none of the New Yorkers were removed on personal fouls. Manager Lanpher decided to call off the rule for the night so there would be no alibi to be offered of | drawing power of the Athletics both at home and on the road. He be- lieves that Spaaker, still one of the great defensive players in the ma. pors, is the bast available performer to achieve that result as well as to strengthen the club materially for the pennant chase.

In one of the “battles of the cen- tury” on Madison Square Garden ice last night, the Rangers whizzed over | their Metropolitan rival of the inter- | national group, the Americans, by 7 goals to 0. Although the contest had a lop- sided score, the Americans put up | a stubborn tussle and in the final | period, the players swapped punches which resulted in four major penal- ties and as many fines at $25 per | player. the rink and added to the excite- jment of the free-for-all squabble by | pelting programs aat the players. | Bill Cook skipped the disc into | the cage three times to carry off in- | dividual scoring honors for the Ran- | gers. Burch, Boyd, Johnson and | Conacher were penalized with a ma- | jor punishment and a fine of $25 | tor fighting and the game closed with the clubs down to four men each, The victory put the Rangers & game and a half in front of Boston and also gave them the advantage in the city serles with the Ameri- cans. The Rangers have won two | and ticd one with the Americans. | "The Chicago outfit stumbled be- | tore Detroit by 4 goals to 2, the from the Bruins.

At present these two teams are tied for the position. A victory for either team will mean much in its standing for the first half of the season. A week from tomorrow night Landers and the Stanley Works will battle for second place and the loser will be tied for third honors with the winner of to- morrow night's game, Preceding this contest will be & game between P. & F. Corbin and Stanley Rule teams, The former is in second last place but if it is success- | ful in winning the game it will move up into a tie for first place in the second division, The girla’ game will ses Landers and the Stanley Works in a contest. At present Landers 1is leading the girls’ league, and It has defcated every opponent this year except the Stanley Rule which it tied in a prac- tice game and tied again in the first game of the season. The Stanley Rule and P. F, Corbin teams are “dogging it" after the league-leaders and if Landers should stumble both of them will dive ahead to take ad- vantage of the break. | It behooves the Universal misses | to be careful of games they think will be casy and not to be troubled with overconfidence. Landers can lose all of its remaining games and be assured of an even break for the | feason as far as league games are concerned. In the girls' game will be two of | the best shooters in the league, Nel. lie Sartinsky of Landers and Alice Stengle of the Stanley Works. The former is in third place among the 8CO| and the latter §s one point | | behind in fourth place. Their battle | for honors should be an interesting | sidelight. Two of the men's teams on the card tomorrow night were on the losing end of exciting games last week. Both Corbin Cabinet Lock and i Stanley Rule & Level teams played great basketball in defeat, Many of the fans will be rooting for them to come through tomorrow night. 0. CHURCH DOWNS ST.

Referee, Tobin; tim- er, Osborne; scorer, Karbonik, Swedish Bethany Wins A shot from the center of the floor by Paul S8wanson in the final minute | of play gave the Swedish Bethany team a 19-17 win over the Trinity Methodists in a stubbornly waged conflict. It was the Bethany team's first victory of the season, and an carly lead was responsible. During the first half the Swedes piled up points on baskets and fouls by Wally Anderson, Paul 8wanson, and Dave Swanson, and by the end of the per- | lod were leading by 11-6. Alden Hewett had caged the only two field goals made by the Methodists. The green-jerseyed team rallied as the second half began and was soon within striking distance, the rush re- sulting from the scoring ability of the Hewetts and Fengler. Two points down at 17-15, the Methodists lost Deming Hewett on fouls and had to continue with four men, while the winners had substitutes available when Wally Anderson had to retire and Dave Swanson was ejected. De- spite the handicap, the Methodists fought hard and Alden tied the count with a beautiful distanct toss, Kar- {bonik had a golden opportunity with a free shot after a technical foul, but he missed by feet. A few sec- onds later P. Swanson had flipped in his winning goal and the game was over. W. Anderson and A. Hewett led their respective teams with clever shooting exhibitions, while Deming Hewett did well from the foul line. Karbonik, the big Methodist gun, was silent all night.

Root, who had a good deal to do with the mid-scason flash of the Cube, is known o have returned his new contract unsigned, but what demands, if any, have been made by Vance and Hoyt is open only to conjecture. Club owners have & habit of regarding these affairs as of private concern, except when some such figure as Babe Ruth forces the discussion and facts into the open. Vance has been one o fthe highest pald flingera in the National League for years, drawing down around $15,000 annually. Although probab. ly near the end ofr a brilliant career, Dazzy is considered so valuable by the Robins that they rejected an op- portunity to trade the pitcher for Rogers Hornsby at the time the Giants were peddling thelr second- sacker around the circult, Vance showed a winning and losing record of only 16 and 15 last season but he was third in the earned run allow- ance rating, permitting the enemy to tally at the rate of only 2.70 runs per nine inning game. Hoyt, whose pay check last year also was probably around $15,000 has a sensational record to use as an argument for more money. The Flatbush undzrtaker won 22 and lost only 7 games, pesides finishing see- ond in the earned run rating with a mark of 2.64. Root, participating in around 50 gomes, showed signs of the strain | toward the end of 1927 but finished with a record of 26 victories and 15 defeata. His “wrinkle ball” was one of the most dec2ptive deliveries ex- hibited by any of the National League moundsmen. ‘When the Yankees get through dickering with their players over 1928 contracts it is likely the pay- roll of the world's champions will be well in excess of $300,000 for the year, a record for all time in base- ball Ruth’s $70,000 salary, topping the list, {5 the samo as last season but Hoyt, Gehrig, Moore, Pipgras, Las- zeri, Combs and Koenig all may be considered eligiole for increases. Gehrig already has had a subatan- tial boost, signing a three year con- tract that gives him $20,000 this | year, $25,000 in 1929 and $30,000 m 1930, It is bad mews for .

At the close of the world’s series_he indicated he ‘would retire from the game and thersby lighten the burden of fling- ers who have tried and failed for years to bend ‘em past old Joe.
