W Speaking of Sports Answering a *“Hockey Fan" who communicated with us yesterday concerning the use of the term “Partoers in Crime” recently with regard to Alexander and Boucher in & roller hockey game, we stand cor- zected, The term as used was not meant to convey any slur on the character of the two players in question but Wik a choice of a supposedly satiri- cal twist in terms ‘'meaning that the Ovposition considered them as such because they were starring in the Kiaowing the two men in question porsonally, the only fault we could ever find with either of the two vlayers is that they aren’t natives of New Britain. On and the floor, Loth are gentlemen and they con- duct themselves as such. In fact, the same can be said for the other lembers of the local team, The farthest thing from our mind in connection with the two “part. ners in crime” was to cast any re- flection on them and we figure that the one who has called us for the use of the term is just like we are ourselves gometimes, ready to de. fend sport representatives of New Britain, 2 We have to hand the first award for the prize “bloomer” of the year | to Referes McAuliffe whose real name is Henry Gerrity for his ac- tions on the decision rendered the other night in the Kaplan-Mays ‘*bout in New Haven. McAuliffe has reversed .his findings and has given Kaplan a verdict over Mays instead of calling the bout a-draw. This, we believe, scts a dangerous precedent, one that will cause plenty of trouble in the fight game in this state. We should think that the draw decision would have stood but at the same time, we admire the courage of the refcree in braving the storm of criticism that is bound to follow his announcement. A more sensational pair of aces in any line of sport has not been seen in years than those being staged right now in the roller hockey and basketbzll circuits, New Pritain and Merlden clash tonight in this city in one of the niost important gumea of the se: son for both clubs. New Britain just a step behind Meriden in the standing and the local team will be right on Meriden's heels of it wins tonight, In the baskefball league, for New Britain will be almost a disaster. The Atlas by winning over Bristol last night is just a game be- hind New Britain. Bristol is third. Arriuda, recently transferred from the Hartford roller hockey team to Meriden, has been released by the Silver Cily managentent. He did not come up to snuff in his play. Gaz- zinger is being used by the Maroons in bis place. Some near record scorcs Wwere bowled in the Industrial league th night before last at Rogers. Wilcox hit 869, Happeny scored 350, Tron- asky knocked the timbers for 36 Gacek hit 341 und Orunk 340. Knowles slammed away for a total of $60. Ward chalked up 347, Davis scored 348, Foote marked down 340 and Haines hit for 347. The league this year Iy ahout the fastest eight-t ever in the history of this city. This column is asked to settle an argument by a party of bowlers, a problem that half the alleymen in the city have wrestled over for a de- cision, but have retired licked at each dash for the top. The mid- night ofl has been burned and quires of paper and many pencils worn out, all the efforts coming back to the original problem. A couple of wise boys who have splfntered thousands of pins during the progress of thelr campaign against the sticks took the matter up and after wandering around for a couple of hours met themselves coming back and gave it up. Here it is: A. B. C. and D were rolling on a local alley for sticks, the | two low men to pay the shot. D was far the better roller of quartet and gave A 20 pins, C 10 pins and B five pins. pins and also gave C five pins, mak- ing A and C rolling even 8o far as each other was concerned. At the end of the string A had. chalked up 91. B 93 and C 91, not counting the handicaps. D chalked up 102. Now A with D's handicap of 20 pins had a total of 111 in the case of D; but with the five pins given I A had but 96 pine. 's handicap to C gave him 101, relating to D only, or one luss than . B with s handicap had 9S. Tite question ix who are the two low men, and who must pay the 60 cents. No player, so far as can he figured out, was beaten by two men, while they all were beaten by one man. In the meantime the al ley manager is looking for his 60 cents. Figure this out yourself. Bill Brennecke will give a half bex of good cigars to the first man solv- ing the problem. Flaming Crosses Seen ‘ln Several Sections New Haven, Feb. 23 UP—Flam- ing cromses cast their fiickering light over the state last night as the K. K.

To be sure there were a few gracious wives who comsented to do flatiron duty. And there were some men provi- ident enough to have parked their important garments under the mat. tress last night before retiring. But the vast majority of pants began to develop wrinkles where they shouldn't and the customary creases became dulled.. Since Monday workers in small !tailor shops and wholesale cleantnu Plants have been on strike and ex- cept in the picketed open shops no cleaning and dyeing has been done, Today the pressers also walked | fout and the small neighborhood ,shops where the average New Yorker goes to have his other suit | |pressed or to wait behind a curtain | !while his only attire is freshened were closed.

Hamilton Club Will 1 i Enforce 18th Amendment Chicago, Feb. 23 P—The exclus- ive Hamilton club by ‘order of its presideni has figuratively frisked the hip pockets of its own members to enforce its prohibition policies.
