The later | periods were played with substitutes | and the visitors practically held | these cven. | The game was less than a minute | |old when Goffa dropped in the first | |basket and Gill fqllowed shortly with a one-hand toss. Kaczuk made New Haven's initial basket, but Kley | broke up a pass and dribbled for a score. Te k brought it to 6-4, land then New Britain got a break. Gill and a visitor bumped and Ref- eree Tobin called a foul on the St. Kazimer player, whose mates theught the local captain was the |offender. They therefore let Gill follow up his shot for a basket and get another goal some three sec- onds later before they recovered. Suzenski and Kaczuk both sustained |injured eves in the ensuing plays and retired temporarily. The score | was 14-15 at the quarter and was | moved up to 15-5 during the second |period. Then Coach Ray Anderson sent in Grusha and Zugko to replace |Gill and Kley, and New Britain's 'scoring stopped.

New Britain is well represented en out-of-town athletic teams this year judging from the names seen in lineups about the state. The All-Plainville team consists of Folst, center; Jasper, forward; Ar-| bour and Darrow, guards. All are doing very well. The last player to be signed up was “Ham- my” Darrow, who with Arbour is considered & lcader among the younger group of guards who are coming up. Probably the player who is show- ing the greatest form of the out- siders is Jimmy Reynolds, forward on the Hartford Yankes team. He has been a consistent scorer in the games he has played all season. In the seven games he played he scored 19 points, a good mark when consid- eration is given the fact that he has played a portion of the games, Merrott Taylor is doing & great deal of playing on New Haven courts and is still the same flashy player of old. “Monjue” Zaleski is playing e fine brand of basketball with the Ford- ham freshmen, but *Toots” Politis and Howard Belser of the varsity team have not come up to expecta- |Long tions as yet. The New Britain High school team will have its hands full in try- ing to defeat the Collegiate Pre- paratory school team in a game on the New Britain High gymnasium Baturday afternoon. Colleglate has scored 10 straight victories this year and among the victories was the Red and Gold team in a game played in New Haven. PLAYERS NOT HOLDOUTS Chicago National League Baseball Club Docs Net Consider Root and Wilsom as Such.

Presi lent Wililam Veeck reasons | that no player is a holdout unless he refuses to play with his club all season. “You know,” Veeck sald “that as far back as I can remember, there has only been one real Cub holdout. About 1908, Johnny Kling refused to report, and he remained away all scason. He was able to do it be- cause his regular business paid him better than baseball.”, Hal Carlson, another star Cub pitchier, and Captain Charley Grimm first sacker, have not turned in their signed contracts for 1928, but Ve€ck does not regird them as holdouts. The rest of the players, he said. have signed and zre ready for the training season. 8. 8 L. R.
