Speaking of Sports The four Canadian amateur bos. . ®r8 who appear in this city tomor. row night are pomsible representa- tives of the Dominion in the Otym- pies this year. The four are consid- ored the beat n their classes in Can- < @da and they have almost been as. sured of pluces on the Canadiun boxing team. Jean Ratelle, has lost a decision to Jack Kelly last year in Hartford. The outcome of the bout was very close. This meet. ing ahould be productive of a de- cislon. Ratelle in supreme confi. dence, writes that he will knock Kelly out. The man who hits “spider’ on the chin hard enough to put him away, will be a good one, ' —— Fhe New Dritain basketball team has & busy scason ahead of it, ‘ac- cording to Manager Clarence Lan. pher. Speaking of the schedule to- day, he unfolded the information that thé state league play as far as New Britain is concerned, is sched- | uled to end March 2. | This week's games include night's battle with the Meriden dees in Meriden and the contest with Lou Gehrig's- All Stars Saturday night, to- Next week's schedule calls for! New Britaln to pay in Waterkury on | ‘Thursday, February 16. On Satur. day, February 18, the New Haven Atlas plays here. This game is to be played at the Stanley Arena a week from Saturday. The following week's program i consists of two games with Hartford. New Britain goes to the Capitol City | on Tuesday, February 21, and Hart-| ford plays here on Baturday, Febru- ary 25. The last game of the league for the locals will be played the week after that on IFriday, March 2, against the Atlas in New Haven. On Saturday, March 3, the Original Ccl- tics, world’s champlon basketball team, will make their appearance in this city. — i Manager Lanpher has received an ! invitation from Manager Sid Kramer of the Renaissance Five of New York to play two games in Harlem. The local pilot has written to the | New York man giving his terms, but to date hasn't received an answer from him. Evidently the two victories scored | by over the Harlem | team have been impressive because it i3 seldom that any teams in th scction recelve an invitation to ra H n New York. The cycle of events is| bringing the basketball situation .hack to where it was when Charlie Barrett was the Tex Rickard of loeal basketball when the 23rd Btreets and others used ‘to play here and New Britain used to travel regularly to New York. FOG KEEPS SHIP OUTINN. Y. HARBOR 1,136 Passengers on Berengaria On¢ Hour From Home New York, Veb. @ (P—An hour's runs from their destination, 1.136 passengers on the Bérengaria, third largest ship afloat, today had been held foghound in Gravesend bay | since Tuesday night. | An effort late yesterday to bring| tho passengers ashore one a ferry- | boat falled when the fog scitled | down heavier than ever and the cap- | tain of the harbor craft refused to | make the trip alongside the line -As the passengers chafed aboard the Berengaria, 500 relatives and friends who had waited on the pler since Tuesday afternoon gave up the long wvizil and dispersed. Other smaller liners, which also had been held fogbound in the low- er bay slowly made their way up the river yesterday afternoon when the fog lifted slightly. The United Friit Viner Zaca brushed the bow of the Berengaria in the fog, but the only damage was loss of the jackstaff and a few feet of rail on the smaller ship and paint acraped off the Cunard vessel. Only oue other accident was re- ported, the collision of a ferryboat with a standard Oil barge tied up alongside the ferry slip. The damage to both boats was slight. In Brooklyn and along the New York waterfront the .fog was w0 @ense that street lighta a block away could be seen only as a slight blur. Trains on’ the clevated lines and street cars were running behind machedule. Automobiles were forced to virtually creep along.. Most of the ferryboats, many of which are stoered by compass, were making their regular trips only a short timc behind schedule. Many well Kknown persons are aboard the Berengaria. The French liner France with 500 tourists aboard bound for the Medi- terranean was one of the many out. bound liners delayed hours by the fog. The I'rance was forced to anchor at quarantine for a time after a hazardous and down the harbor.
