Speafifin'.c of Sports Inquiries about players on athletic teama in this city will be answered privately if those inquiring would like the information. We don’t think that any man's private history should be aired in this column. That is the reason a number of communications received in this office recently, have not been answered, Like a ton of lead, the New Brit- ain team has slumped in the Roller |\ Hockey league until with the dawn of this morning, the local quintet is resting just a place away from the bLottom of the league. After making a sensational and valiant fight for the second half honors, illness crept; into the ranks of the local players and served to slow the team consid- erubly, Two victories over Waterbury will bring the team back into its own again. The locals play there tonight and Waterbury comes here tomorrow night, Following an altercation in Water- bury last Saturday night in which Alexander rendered Barney Doherty, ‘Waterbury halfback, hors de combat, the local first rusher should have a hectic time with the Brass City fans while the game is in progress. Waterbury rooters were on the verge of lynching Alexander when he and Barney had the fight but noth- ing serious came of it. His return to the scene of the combat again to- night, will draw down on his head plenty of invectives. “Red” Donnelly gets the same thing here when he comes to town 80 the fans in both citles are about even, Leaders in the track world will bo seen in action in Hartford on Saturday evening, March 17 at the state armory, according to an an- nouncément sent out by the Hartford branch of the Connecticut A. A, U. All the leading racers have signified their intentions of entering the meet (J and from present indications, the af- fair should prove to be ome of the athletic sensations of the year. Dan Healy of this city has entered the two-mile event and he will meet some of the stiffest competition he has ever run against. Friday night's amateur boxing tournament in this city promises to be one of the blue-banner events of the amateur fight season. With Leo Larrivier and Billy Taylor down as the principals in the main bout, little else is left but for the boys to fur- nish & slashing bout. Fans who want reserved scats are warned that they should secure them fmmediately.

Lloyd Hahn hopes to get out in front of Ray Conger and Dr. Otto Peltzcr in their mile race tonight to avoid any-flying elbows. Lloyd con- tends that Ray elbowed him com- pletely out of their race at Kansas City a fortnight ago. In his first American race the galloping German | was accused of nudging Ray Dodge | off the Madison Square Garden track. | Hahn has a weight advantage on Conger and Peltzer. Hahn is a middleweight. His two rivals are welters. Poundage, translated .into endurance, may be a big factor in deciding the K. of C. international mile, Jack Delaney’s weight is the cause of much concern. The experts do not think the erstwhile rapier can concede around 20 pounds and beat Tom Heeney, the rugged New Zealander, Thursday night in the| Garden. ‘l “The good man against the good big man* all over again, they say. Delaney has never done mu against the good big men, such as Jim Maloney or Paulino. i Paulino’s elbows bothered Jack. | Heeney's may do the same thing. (| The Antipodean likes to fight close, clbows and arms weaving a protec- tive barrier around his chin. If Tom can take 'em on the elbow when |they are aimed for the jaw he will | Fifteen rounds favor Heeney, too, Delaney may surprise them in this respect, if he |1s in anything like the shape he was | when he fought Paul Berlenbach and won the light heavyweight title in 1926. Jack was a beaten man at punishing drives, but he came back like a whirlwind in the last fi\'r.; belting Berlenbach all over the ring. It Marvin Stevens knows how to teach his gridiron stuff as well as he illustrated it in 1923, Yale need have no fears about its football coaching problems for the next three years. “Mal” Stevens, in his one great as dazzling as Red Grange in an open field, as consistently good a kicker | Cornell in sliding off tackle. Up at New Haven they class Stevens about the ultra in gridiron tributes. The erstwhile Kansas comet joins eration, a younger school rapidly growing to fame. It already in- cludes Bo McMillan, now with the Kansas Aggies, Chick Meehan of New York university, Harry Mehre nova and Nibs Price of California. They have son e distance to go, | | supremacy of such veteran tutors as | | Knute Rockne, Fielding Yost, Alon- | |zo Stagg, Pop Warner, Bill Roper, | | Gil Dobie, Dan McGugin, D. X. Bible and others. Bill McKechnie, who piloted on: world’s championship club at Pitts: burgh in 1925 and hopes to lead an- other in St. Louis this season, is not among those who count the Giants out of the National league race be- cause of the departure of Rogers |Hornsby and his hig bat. | Bill expects the Pirates to furnish jthe chief opposition for the Cardi- |nals but, as the St. Louis Globe- Democrat quotes him: “The Cubs and the Giants also will be up in the race. There are many inclined to count the Giants out of it after they traded Hornsby to the Braves, I belleve they are making a great mistake. The Giants, with McGraw at the helm are always dangerous. “The punch supplicd by Horns- by's bat will be missed, undoubted- 1y, but Cohe. is said to be a rising | star. And remember, if Cohen fails | to fill the bill, McGraw will go out and nab someone who can. McGraw is one you can’t keep down.” FIGHTS LAST NIGHT By the Amociated Prees, Los Angeles—George Godfrey, Pennsylvania, defeated Paulino U cudun, Spain, (10).

Referee, scorer, Dillon; Butler, Famirs in Third Place It looked like the world's worst game In the first half, the contest between the Fafnir and Corbin Cab- inet Lock teams. Both teams looked terrible and were terrible. The count at half time was 9 to 0, Fafnirs. Points scored by Fred Zehrer, former high school player who was playing his first game with Corbin Cabinet, “Chief” Larson, and *Red" O'Toole put Corbin in the lead by a 12 to 11 acore within five minutes and a half of the end. LaHar went down the floor, took & pass from Havlick and counted. His team led 18 to 12. Ostroski even- ed the acore at 13-all. He had a chance to break the tie but missed, Yankaskas made two successive foul goals and Cabinet had a two point lead. LaHar tied the score with almost two minutes to go. The score was 13-all. LaHar came down the floor ke & streak and tossed in a perfect goal, but Dick Dillon ruled him travelling. Al Havlick came down the other side of the floor and scored, but he was travelling and his point did not count. The regulation period ended. It was a minute after the overtime period began that the O'Toole-Gie- rochowski fracas began. LaHar was the leading performer for Iafnirs and Zehrer played hest for the losing team, The summary: Fafnirs timer, Sikora; Havlick, rf |LaHar, 1f ., Glerochowski, ¢ ... Wilson, rg atulis, Ig .

Manager Jack Hendricks officially announced Hargrave's appointment at the Reds’ spring training grounds at Orlando, Fla. Bubbles is in fine condition and is leading the boys now in camp in their daily work.

Just as John McGraw was shift- ing his Giants from Hot Springs to Augusta, Zack Taylor, regular catch- er last season, got a surprise in the shape of a tranafer, via the waiver came to the Glants from the Braves last summer along with Larry Ben- ton in exchange for Kent Greenfield, Hughie McQuillan and Eddie Far- rell. McG said he was sorry to let Tay’ “ut in Hogan, Cum- mings, er and Barrett he felt he had a catching staff sufficient for th. Giants’ needs. Down at 8t Petersburg the Yankees put in what might by a stretch of the imagination be called work. Miller Huggins lined up an infield consisting of Lou Gehrig, Ben Chapman. Leo Durocher and Gene Robertson. Durocher especnally de- lighted the “midget” manager's eye as he dug up hot grounders with ease and tossed them from all sorts of poaitions. Robertson, who is ex- pected to give Joe Dugan a battle for the third base job, also per- formed well, ONE OUT OF EVERY FOUR SMOKERS WILL BACK THIS UP: WES‘I‘ATE it as our hon- est belief that the tobaccos used in Chesterfield rettes are of finer quality and hence of better taste than in any other cigarette at the price.
