Speaking of Sports Interest in the amateur fight last night between Billy Taylor of Hart- ford and Johnny Clinch of this city was 50 intense that no tickety were available for reserved seats shortly after the box office was open last night. The Tabs' hall was crowded for the event. 3 With four ticket agencies in this city handling reserved scats for the tournaments, it seems that New Lritain fight fans ought to be able to secure seats in plenty of time. Next week, it is expected, will be a repetition of this week's affair when vlor and Larrivier come together nd a warning to the wise is suf- ticient, The New Britain Roller Hockey team will either go up or down to. night and tomorrow. Tonight in Waterbury it ineets the Shamrocks and tomorrow here, the team bat- tles the Meriden Maroons. Two vie- tories will put New Britaln at the top of the standing. Two defeats will not be o good.

The Lions, winners of the New Britain section of the Intermediate County “Y” basketball league, will meet the S8imsbury Cardinals, cham- pions of the northern section, in a series of games next week to decide | which will be declared the county title-winner and be given the right to represnt Hartford county in the state tournament. An unusually interesting series 18 expected, as neither contestant has been defgated. The Lions swept through their schedule against the Bouth church intermediates, the State Trade achool, and the Ken- sington Boys' club without being once checked, taking all ten games played. The Cards did the same in the north half of play, winning from the Simabury *Y Juniors, West Avon, Manchester, and other teams |in that part of the competition by scores which at times were murder- ous.

In those days many so-call- «d greenhorns from various Euro- pcan countrics were so determined to increase their earnings beyond the amount possible through daily labor in the factories that they jumped at every offer that seemed n opportunity. Despite numerous warnings in the press, from the pul- pit and through other agencies, they continued to throw away their money, often two or three hundred dollars at a time, They thought they could own a six-tenement block by paying in a few hundred dollars with a ready profit of several thou- sands of dollars any time they cared they | er grips. | L.

Silver-plated hollow ware night and Bristol's hopes for a place in the playoff series were dimmed considerably when Hartford eked out a victory in the Capital City. Bristol and Hartford meet again to- night in Bristol. Following in the wake of the de- cision of Referee “Young" McAuliffe to change his decision with regard to the Kaplan-Mays bout in New Haven the other night, the Elm City is filled witi fight scandal. The showing of Joe Currie against Georgie Day was so evidently a put- up job that it will go down in the history of Connecticut boxing as one of the worst humisugs put across on a gullible public, Currie, always and casily Day's master, appeared like an amateur in the bout. He was trapped in corners of the ring and otherwise did everything he could to lose. The referee, not being in on the party, called the bout a draw. Day should have been declared the winner. The investigation into the debacle has been carried on and it ap- pears certain that punishment will be meted out to both boxers. Georgie Day has & match with Kaplan in the works. Currie was strapped for money. 8o the charges fly thick and fast. Put the two together and the fans get what they did the other right when the pair put on their waltsing act. Commissioner Donohue has t'he opportunity now to desert the Na- tional Boxing Association and use 1is officlal capacity to settle the fate of these two. Fixing fights is bad business and has, more or less, gone out of style, Let the commissioner weed out the cockles. It's a good time to start. Mickey MecCullough of Hartford has been granted a promoter's M- eense and he will stage pro boxing shows at Foot Guard hall in Hart- ford in the near future. * PLAYERS IN CAMP Members of New York Teams AR Either on Way to or at Scene of Training Grind.

The Delaney-Heeney match will take place March 1 and the Sharkey- Risko bout Marsh 12 and the two winners will be matched in May for a bout to determine the challenger, “However, Rickard said, “the outcome of cither or both of the elimination bouts might ghange the | entire situation. If the Neavywelght eliminations do not develop an out- standing contender, I might use Paulino against Tunney in June if he won decisively from George God- frey. Or I might use the winner or the Delaney-Heeney bout against Tunney in the first bout or the summer and the winner of the Shar- key-Risko bout. in the vice versa,” Rickard reiterated his Miami Beach announcement that Jack Dempsey is definitely through with the ring.

TEANS SHOW SPIRIT Two Boston Managers Instill Plenty of Pep Into Hustling Group of Candidates. Boston, Feb. 25 (M—Two Boston | haseball managers took their teams {in hand yesterday and when they had finished, the one in the elub- house and the other on the fleld, they had inparted a lot of apirit to a flock of hustling candidates and veterans as well. As a result of the Red Sox at Bradentown, and the Braves at St. Petersburg, Jla., went through thelr snappiest workouts yet and caused | officials of both aggregations to wax enthusiastic over their respective | outlooks. Manager Bill Carrigan of the Sox called the boys into the clubhouse and told them a few things about the spirit of fight and then sent them charging onto the field like firemen responding to an alarm. Bradiey, Russell and Wiltse, veteran hurlers, who have been ahowing a disposition to let the youngsters do all the work, put on a stift drill under the watchfyl eye of Carrigan and then the younger men worked out on the mound. Over at 8t. Petersburg, five days of ideal conditions saw the squad in excellent condition, and there waan't a sore arm on the lot, Manager Jack Slattery himaclf took the catcher’s mitt in order to get a better line on what his candidates can de.
