Give us Berney Dohdrty and bring on Albany, Wé'll lick them. ‘Without him last night, N Britain team, lod by the indomitable “Ki4"” Williama, held the lepgue leaders to an 8 to 5 acore and with Barney in the lineup, it looks to us as if New Britain would have been on the winning end. As it was, the New Britain crew played a won- derful game and it Ueserves all the | Lindverg credit in the world. “Kid" Williams appears better in defeat even than he doexs in victry. His work against great odds last night, stamps him as the best play- er we have ever seen. He, single- handedly, made it possible for New Britain to stay in the running.right up to the last minute and had he an experienced player opposite him, Albany would have had plenty of trouble. Barney will be back with the team tomorrow, according to present reports and Providence will feel the full force of New Britain's offense and defense, New Britain starts a busy sched. ule tomorrow. Providence plays here Sunday afternoon. New Britain plays at Providence Monday. The locals go to Fall River Tuesday. Al- bany is back here again next Thursday night. New Britain goes to Waterbury Saturday night while the 8hamrocks appear here a week from tomorrow. 2ddie McAloon and Joe Lawlor will appear in Middletown Sunday against the Rxed-Wings roller hockey club.

For more than & week the players on the two teams have been playing tomorrow’s game all over Church street and vicinity and if they all do what they say they are going to do tomorrow, the entire New Britain General Hospital staff with a dozen or more ambulances, should be on hand to carry off the dead, dying and wounded. So far two prizes are being held out, one to the player who scores the first goal and the other for the team that wins the game. Charlie Bernstein has offered a steak dinner to the initial scorer of the game while Lou (Doc) Cranley is offering soft drinks to the members of the winning team. These offers have only added to the rivairy that is already at a fierce stage. Holst's team has been recruited from the Middletown Red-Wings, a basketball quintet playlng in the Asylum City. Fitzie's crew consists of veferans of amateur hockey of 20 years ngo with a few newocemers mixed in.

Murder, mayhem or anything else is allowed under the rules adopted and “Buggy” will be allowed to chew on his cigar. No time out will be taken when any of the players fall down because if there was, no game would be played. A packed house should be in on the battle.

The visiting crew has yet to be beaten while the Burritts ha captured their last six straight. 8o far the local team has won ten out of 11 starts, The West End team is composed of well known semi-pro stars in the Th city and at the present time the aggregation is leading the City league in that city. Needless to say the vigitors will be anxious to stop the mad rush of the Burritts to- ward the te semi-pro title, Anxious to atart its campaign for 20 victories by copping the verdict this evening, the Burritts will start their strongest lineup and will be on their toes throughout the battle, Yakubowicz and Havlick will take care of the forward positions, Luty will jump center, while Darrow and Carlson will roam in the backcourt. Gill and Rose may get the call to start if necessary. Although hard hit three weeks ago by the loas of three regulars, the Burritts have completely recov- ered and the present aggregation is playing a sweet brand of ball. The new crew has captured its last six games, nainiy through the defen- sive work of Darrow and Carlson and the offensive power of Yakn- bowicz, Havlick and Rose. Luty's work at center has left nothing ‘o be desired. Rl & Gold Cout Team 4 ahead and led 24 to 18 at half time. Schurman .. Totals DEMPSEY ABLE T DODGE REPORTERS Ring Knowledge and Acting Brought Him Through Interview New York, Jan., 19 UP—His ex- perience as a boxer and an actor helped Jack Dempsey get by in his first major brush with reporters aft- er the death of his tutor and asso- clate, the late Tex Rickard. 8Surrounded by fifty men of the press, Dempsey crowded about five rounds of shadow boxing and at least one full act of the legitimate into a tense half hour. He was sidestepping here and there, weaving by and away from the persistent newspapermen, all the while utilizing Lis training as a Thesplan to retain the poise which he knew was expected of a man now holding such a dominant place in the sports spotlight, The climax to this wierd com- bination came as the conference was breaking up. They were try- ing to have him say something be- yond a business-like statement, re- garding his plans for the future. They were emphasizing questions as to his ambitions, if any, to be- come a promter—to take Tex’ place. “There’ll never be another Tex,"” shot out a veteran lcxing writer, trying one last move to break through Dempsey's impregnable guard. “No,” chorused Dempsey, ever eager to indorse the Kkind things spoken of his old crony. “It took a century to develop a Rickard and it will take another century to de- velop his successor.” He had ex- pertly parried oft that thrust, Dramatically gripping Jack's arm, the veteran exclaimed: “You'll be the next one, Jack!” The former champion, caught aff guard, eased back, straightened us and, it might be said of anyone else but Dempsey—the Dempsey of that day—and “swelled up.” His face brightened. *“Well,” he countered, “I might be of some help.” The old mauler was just as quick as any one to grasp the significance of the “break.” A scowl swept his face. The old snarl, characteristic of the Dempsey of old just before a battle, crept back into his voice. It was a moment jammed with suspense. The crowd around him began to drop back, some taking leave, yothers stepping to phones to call their papers. A break came when a scribe beckoned Jack to a corner where he' “buttonholed” him for the ques- tions he had been wanting to ask in private, Dempsey saild in effect that he was concentrating his attention to- ward making comfortable Rickard’a widow and would have nothing definite to say for three or four days. In his prepared statement, he °x- pressed an intention te return to Miami Beach to earry out the plans Rickard had for the Stribling- Sharkey fight there, February 27. Meanwhile, he said, there woull be nothing to say as to whether he would fight again.

He is a hard hitter and & clever boxer and he should be ablé to give Clinch plenty of trouble. There are plenty of fans who have seen him in action who feel certain that he will beat -the New Britain boy 'n their encounter. He is rated as the best prospect on the Holyoke ama- teur team at ‘the present time and, because of the quality of fighters developed in the Paper City, this is no mean distinction.

This fundamental improvement docs away with all troublesome foot fumbling for the starting button. You can keep your foot ale ways on the brake when starting or re-starte ing on a hill —an obvious safety advantage of major importance. “Finger-Tip Control” also avoids changing from the comfortabledriving position to reach a light switch on the dash. You can at all times keep your eyes on theroad, and the hand that operates the button flashes back to the rim of the wheel in any steering emergency. SIXES WILLYS - KNIGHT WILLYS-OVERLAND. INC. .
