Speaking of Sports Eddle Anderson and Pat Rooney of this city are prepared to hand Gaioes and Miller of Hartford, an- other shellacking on the alleys to- night when the two teams meet in the first match of a home and home series of duckpins at Rogers alleys for & purse of $200. The local pair handed the Hartford duo a neat trimming in the last home and home series but the Capital City boys haven't been made to cry “enough” yet. The match next week will be roll- ed in Hartford. Each will consist of 10 games and total pinfall will count. One of the biggest crowds on record will be out to see the an- cient enemies battle. Jenkins, star guard on the Renais- sance Five basketball team and rec- | ognized as one of the best court players in the country and thought to be the bralns of the New York team, paid a high compliment to the New Britain team following the game here last Saturday night. “It was the first *time, since we have been playing together as a team,” sajd Jénkins, “that we felt that we had been really outplayed. ‘That includes the Celtics of New York and all the other teams we have met. New Britain certainly beat us fairly and squarely tonight.” That statement coming from player who was a member of a team that just was forced to swallow the bitter pill, was not only a compli- ment to the playing of the New Brit. ain team, but was a fine example of good sportsmanship on the part of the colored star. The Atlas Flve of New Haven plays the Hartford Yankees in Hart- ford ténight in a state league game. At the same time, New Britain will be meeting Bristol in Bristol in an- other eircuit tilt. New Britain will be a good bet to defeat the Atlas in the next meeting of the teams {f the local squad plays in the same form it showed last Sat- urday night ugainst the colored stars. Meriden handed Hartford the worst beating of the year in the American Roller Hockey league last night. The Maroons won by the weore of 13 to 4. At the same time, Wallingford defeated Waterbury 9 to 6. For a team that was at the tail end of the procession in the first half of the league, the Wallingford crew {s certainly coming along fast in the second half, ‘Waterbury is in a bad slump and 1t appears that the team is going to have adifficulty in recovering its early season form. It has been losing consistently at home and on the road. New Britain's next game wi]l be ¥riday hight when the local quintet meets Meriden in Merlden. New PBritain stands just behind the Ma. roons in the league and Friday night's battle will be the opportunity for the locals to set the pace-makers HOPES SHATTERED University of Tiinols Basketball Team Crippled With Loss of Two Shining Stars, Chicago, Féb, 1 P — With elght western conference games remain- ing the University of Illinois bas- ketball hopes have been dealt a se- vere blow by semester examinations and illness.

Both men play forward. Northweitern at Urbana February 8, is the next game scheduled for the Illinois five. LOSE TO MERIDEN The New Britain Bease System Btore bowling team lost two out of three games to the Meriden store team last night at Rogers Bowling alleys.

Huggins, the mite manager of the New York Yankees' came to town | today to personally see about: his world baseball champions. Almost furtively Huggins ducked around the corner of Broadway and slipped up 42nd street to the offices of the Yankees for a private confer- ence with Col. Jacob Ruppert and Ed Barrow. One of the strangest characters in the game Hugginas and his methods continue to mystify a greater part of the bascball world. Overshad- owed by blustering Babe Ruth and a team of high-priced stars, Huggins prefers to keep his tiny figure al- ways {n the background. Rut the records speak for them- selves, and they show that in ten yeurs under Huggina the Yankees, |ouce the joke club of the league, have won five American League pen- nants and two world championships. Hugsins, in preparing for his eleventh season at the helm of the Yankees, realizes that baseball fans and magnates live in the present and not the past, and his present mission concerned the lineup for 1928, Several members of the Yankees' | all-star cast haven't been signed, but Waite Hoyt, star right-handed pitcher, and Mike Gazella, utility in. fielder, are the only out and out holdouts. “Hoyt puts his case plainly . . . “l won 22 games last year and I want more doagh.” Gazella has only a .278 batting | average to fling in the faces of Messrs, Ruppert, Barrow and Hug- ging, but he, too, is dissatistied with his wage. The Yankees pay their players liberally, but since they will pay Ruth and Gehrig, the home run twins, almoat a $100,000 between them, this season. they may not feel in a mood just at this moment to meet the demands of Hoyt and Ga- zella, though trivial they may be. Hoyt may be traded, and Gazella may be pitehed in for good measure, for & left-hand:d pitcher. The name of Jee Shaute of the Indians has been linked in such a trade. Tony lamerl and Mark Koenig, the Reystons kifls, are two other im. portant ' bers of the Yanke. @ %4ho haven't affixed tm signatures to contracts, but they are expected to come into the fold shorly. When all the Yankees are signed up the payroll of the world cham- plons is expectsd to approach $300,- 000 and label the Yankees as the highest priced ball club of all time. What is worrying Huggins is the personnel of his pitching staff and & guardian for third base. At the present time it looks 1fe he will have to depend upon George Pipgrass, who blossomed into a star in his own rizht in the world serics, Herb Pennock, the aging southpaw, Wilcy Moora, the 1927 rookie, Urban Shocker, who has seen his best days, | and Hoyt, or his successor. Dutch Reuther, who won 13 games iast season, and Bob Shawkey are gone. The Yanks have 11 rookie pitch- €rs on their roster and there may be another find among them like Wiley Moore. Joe Dugan will attempt to get his trick knee in shape to win back the third base job, but no one is relying on him. Gene Robertson, the for- mer 6t. Louls Brown who was bought from St. Paul this fall, may win the berth. The Yanks have another great {n- fielder coming up from St. Paul in Leon Durocher, hut he's a short stop and probably will be used to under- »tudy Koenig. GIBSON AND RICKARD MEET Miami Beach, Fla., Feb. 1 (UP)— Tex Rickard was expected to an- nounce “something definite” today about Gene Tunney's next heavy- | | weight champlonship fight. Billy Gibson, Tunney's manager, was due todhy to confer with Rickard. Mean- while, Tunney continued his training He began his work by skipping rope for ten minutes and then punched the bag. New York — The New York defeated the Montreal Maroons 3 to 1 in a National hockey league game. HIGH PRESSURE MISS BROWNE 1S~ CONSIDERED PRO Must Make Formal Application Tor Reinstatement New York, Feb. 1 UP—T¢ Mary K. Browne has, as she says, adopted a “watchful waiting” policy so far as her reinctatement as a golf amateur is concirned she will be obliged to maintain it for the full length of the usual three-year ‘“good conduct” perind prescribed by the United States Golt Assaciztion. Miss Browne has been quoted as saying she won't ask for reinstate- ment but the U. 8. G. A. made it clear today that no action s possible on her status without a formal ap- plication to lift the ban imposed last April after the former tennis cham- plon toured the country with Su- zanne Lenglen and the rest of the C. C. Pyle professional troupe of tennis players. ‘This is how Miss Browne set forth {her case recently in the Cleveland News: “They said I was ineligible and it's up to them to make me eligible. I never have been a professional in golf and no matter what they said T | never considered myself as a golf | | professional. Of course, I'm anxious |to be allowed to play in all these | tournaments, but it's up to them. ! Under the circumstances I do not care to go begging before the U. . | G. A. T have seen reports that I | 1x: asked or would ask for rein- ement but T 1o not intend to ask for it.” i The assyclation’s point of view, as | expreased by H. H. Ramsay, new ’\'lcc presideat and chairm last |vear of the committee that ruled | Miss Browne out of amateur compe- | tition, is this: . i ““Cannot consider the status of | Miss Browne or of any other eligible player without actual application for reinstatement. Obviously the U. §. G. A. cannot go about the country | calling the roll of ineligible players. }askmg whather they wish to be con- sidered for reinstatement, especially | ‘If the usual three-year good conduct | period has not vet elapsed. If any exception to this rule were to be made in Miss Browne's case, and 1 do mnot know that it would, it could rot be considered without an appli- | cation from her. We have no con- | troversy with Miss Browne. We Fave Pad no word from her eince our ac- tion last spring. I went over the | case thoroughly with her then and | I think she understands our posi- ‘ tion." 8o it would seem that unless “Our Mary” changes her expressed posi- | tion there is no prspect of her re- | turning to the amateur golf fold this | year or, possibly, until 1930. i The prospestive debut of Dr. Otto | Peltzer in the Millrose track and field carnival tomorrow night will be in sharp contrast with the first Ameérican indoor appéarance of that | other' famous Europeah runner. | Paavo Nurmi, in 1925. The German star's schedule calls for an 800-mster run against com petition that is not likely to giv: PETE 1 illness The Choice ~ of men who Choose” him more than a good warmup. Paavo not only tackled two races on the same night at distances of one- mile and 5,000 meters but he mey the best this country could produce and won both events in record- breaking times. The picture of Nurmi's finish n the mile on that occasion three years ago in the old Madison Square Garden is one ot the most vivid in track and field history. Jole Ray, Lloyd Hahn, Jimmy Connolly and other stars all were out to “get” the Flying Finn. ‘They alternated in setting a kill- ing pace, designed to upset Nurmi's customary clock-like performance, but this strategy failed. Instead of killing off the Finn, the Americans killed off themselves. When the final lap came, Nurmi ran circles around his opponents and finished, as the turfmen say, going away. Ray open- mouthed and gasping, staggered home in second place. Peltzer has not had a8 much time as Nurmi to cquip himself for in- door racing, but the German star, by running a half-mile last week in Los Angeles in 1:55 4-10 demon. strated he has kept himself in good form. Jole Ray, contemplating a come- back this year, apparently hopes to shake off the Olympic jinx that has leset the little Chicago veteran. Jole was a member of the 1920 and 1924 Olympic teams but injuries or kept him each time from showing anything like his form at home. The last Olympic trip was sandwiched between two of Ray's greatest seasons, 1923, when he swept everything before him at home, and 1925, when he was spur- red on by Nurmi's invasion to run a mile in 4:12, the fastest any American has ever turned in.
