Although the figures aren't at| hand, Wwe are certain that New Brit- ain has beaten Waterbury in more games during the season than Waterbury has won from the local cluh. We feel that New Britain can take the Brass City team in a series and we certainly would like to see the affair pushed through 1o a finish, New Britain beat Waterbury last night, there's no question about that. Three goalsé in an out would have given New Britain a score of 7 to 8 had the ball remained in the cage. | The High school basketball team | will enjoy an inactive weck this week. On the schedule, there is an open date and Coach George Cas- sidy didn't make any attempt to schedule a game because of the phy- sical handicaps being suffered by Captain Fred Saunders, Eddie Hayes, goul tender for the | Nash team, fell down on the fcy | sidewalk Saturday night and broke a bone in his elbow. He will be out of the game for the remainder of the season and his loss will be keen- 1y felt by his team.

It was the second and third falla which gave the crowd its only thrills of the match which did not end unth nearly 1:30 o'clock this mornine. The second fall came after a twenty wminute rest and the men had hardly stprted again when it waa all over. 8techer grabbed Lewis by the left arm with both hands claming on & deadly double wristlock. He carried Lewis to the floor, sprawling all over him, and awkwardly forcing him te | the mat. The third fall came unexpectedly and without warning but with Lewis forcing the issue, He vainly tried to clamp on a few headlocks, then switched his attack to the arms ana upset Stecher with a bar arm or & double wristlock. He viciously ap- | plied the leverage while Stecher seeking to escape, moved his body to the edge of the ring and tanglew his feet in the ropea. Harry 8.

AT AVIATION SCHOOL Trban Shocker Reiterates His Decis- fon (o Quit Bascball, Saying 13 Years are Enough.

He made some short flights yes- | terday and discussed aviation with pilots at a local field. “I'm through,” said Shocker, when asked about the possibility that he might report to the Yankee camp in Florida. “Twelve years of baseball | is enough for anyone.” He explained that while he hoped to enter a flying school soon, he had not definitely decided on aviation as & business career. He said his plans would remain indefinite until he completed his flying lessons. 8hock- er is 35 years old.

Seventeen victories, four ties and one loss comprised their admir- able record until one month ago to- night, when their star began to fade. During the past month they have been able to_garner only six points by two victories and two ties in ten games. They have lost six games, three by shutouts. At one time the Canadiens posscss- ed a lead of seven games. Now they are four games ahead of the world's champion Ottawa Senators who are coming along fast. The Senators have not tasted defeat since January 21, when the Toronto Maple Leafs took their measure. BSince then they have won six games and played three scoreless ties for a total of 15 out of 18 possible points. This record includes a succession of six shutout games for the Senator goal- keeper, Alex Connell. ‘The Senators are the only team that has the Indlan sisn on the the | mile relay.

Louls, Feb, 21 UP—Ed (Strangler) Lewis of Kansas City, reigns today as undisputed champion of the wrestling world. By defeating Joe Stecher of Dodge Neb., claimant of the title, in & three fall match at the Coliseum last night Lewis ended the quarrel that exist- ed between them for seven years; since the time the “Strangler” de- feated Stecher in New York in 1920, Lewis won the first fall in two hours of dreary wreatling, with a bar arm, half Nelson and scissors hold on the arm, in 2:16:32. He captured the third and deciding fall in 12 minutes 50 seconds with bar arm, or perhaps a double wrist lock. Nobody was clear on the ex- act hold because of the excitement in the dramatically sudden finish. Stecher won the second fall in a dizzy maze of quick action, lasting only fifty-six seconds. Lewis, in & moment of carelessness, fell victim to a double wrist lock and was pin- ned in such astonishingly quick time Btecher in winning the second fall, showed his only flash of aggressiveness dur- ing the entire contest. He was out- gamed, outmaneuvered, outtricked and outwrestled. Lewis, carried the battle to Stecher from the start. He displayed superwrestling _ability, trickiness, and courage. He won fairly and decisively, never leaving a doubt as to the outcome after the men had been on their feet for an | hour. The contest was dull and dreary to all concerned, it also was dreary for Promoter Tom Packs because the gate receipts failed to come up {his expectations. The attendance was around 5,000 with the receipts, according to Packa, around $50,000 —perhaps $€0,000. The prices of $5 to $25 for a ticket was the barrier to more customers.
