According to a letter received here this morning from Helyoke Johnny Clinch s due for a shellacing at the hands of Tommy Provest in their battle at the Stanley Arena ten! WHhéther this is so or net remains to be seen when the two face each other under the kieig lights. Clinch is in perfect shape and s0 ia Pro- vost and one camp or the other will have to pull in ita neck after to- night. As an inkling of how hard “Kid" Williams was hitting them ‘in the polo game last Friday night with Albany, we were told yesterday that beth of Eddie Barnikow's shin pads were cracked. Barnikow stopped mest of Williams' drives catching them square on the shin guards and it is no wonder that both of them were cracked. New Britain lost its third basket- ball game Saturday night but by all rights, the team sheuld have wen. Numerous chances to score in the closing minutes were lost when the . team players missed sucker shots while the Palace club made good every opportunity, Probably the greatest exhibition of long shooting ever seen in this city was witnessed Saturday night when Richman, center on the visit- ing club, caged seven baskets from any distance on the floor. This alone ‘was enough to beat New Britain. Ripley, star of the team, failed to shine as brightly Baturday night as be usually does. He appears to ba getting old. He is old when he re- members New Britain and baseball 30 years ago. He s at prefent coach of tge Georgetown basketball team and Ae states that he has an excellent com- bination this season. New Britain plays the Renais- sance Five of Harlem, N. Y. next Saturday night. This is one of the feature games of the season. The colored champs are travelling along &t a fast rate this season and they are out to avenge the two lacings they received at New Britain's hands last year. The same lineup will ap- pear in ths city as was here on for- mer occasions. New Britain plays Bristol twice next week. On Wednesday, Janu- ary 30, the team meets the Bell Towners in Bristol while the Endees return heroc on Saturday, Febru. ary 3. Manager Lanpher hasn't any date set yet for a meeting with the Meri- den Endees. Meriden Saturday night beat Bristol. This was the secend victory of the Bllver City crew over the Bearing Makers. New Britain forms the only obstacle in the state now to Meriden's claim to the state championshp. New Britain and Meriden have split two games, each team winning one. Bomething is wroug with the New Britain team in the opinon of Man. ager Clarence Lanpher, and he does- n't know what it is. He has ordered the entire squad out for practice next Wednesday night at the Stanley Arena in an effort to get the quintet “ working as it should. The locals will oppose the Burritts in u stit workout and both the manager and the players hope to ifron out their fauwts. One of them, & glaring one at that, is the weak- ness of the local club on the free throw line. Saturday night the home club was beaten by a three-point margin. The visitors made eight cut of 11 free tries. New Britun scored only 11 out of 23. With the Palace Club making all of its free throws and New Britain scoring all of the shots awarded to it, the score would have been 49 to 43 for New Britain, The missing of the sucker shots in the closing mnutes Baturday night was certainly poor basketball and this should be corrected. There is no excuse for it. Manager lLanpher has intimated that if the team doesn't come through as. it should, there willybe a shakeup in the quntet and some new faces might be scen here. often wishes there might be anoth- er McElwain loose.

INDIANS T0 HAVE STRONGER LINEDP Billy Evams Rofuses o Make Any Prediction for 1939 Cleveland, Jaf. 31 UP—The Cleve- land Indians will enter the 1929 campaign non committal on their proapects but heping for the best frem one of the mest thoroughly overhauled lineups in the American league. “We hepe we have a better club than last year,” was the enly com. ment forthcoming frem Rilly Evans, general manager of the tribe, and he admitted that the Redskins could fare much better this season and stiil net be much of an impreve- ment over last year's seventh place outfit. Aside from the moundsmen, only the veteran Chariey Jamieson in left field, Carl Lind at second base and Luke Sewell behind the bat will be found in their customary pesitions as the tribe now stacks up on paper. Gone are George Burns, George Uhle, Homer Summa and leager light of the tribe of other years. The seemingly eternal hunt for & succesper to Tris Speaker has result. ed in the pyrchase of Dick Pert frem Baltimere and Earl Averhill from BSan Francisce, both slugigng outfielders who cest $45.000 each. With the sale of Summa to Phila: phia and the release of Ger Langford and others, the way is paved for Porter and Averhill to patrol the outfield with Jamieson. Ollie Tucker of New Orleans, Charley Dorman from Tyler, Texas and John Gill from Decatur may help. Lind will be back at second, but an otherwise revamped infield will find Sewell shifted frem short to third, Johnny Hedapp moved from third te first and Tavener, obtained with Pitcher Kenneth Holloway from Detreit for Geerge Uhle, is slated for short. Rookies will in- clude Kirst Baseman Glenn Bolton from Terre Haute, Shortstop Jehn Burnett, a teammate of Bolton's and Ray Gardner of New Orleans, who was the SBouthern Association’s lead- ing shortstop last year. ‘The catching department will re- main the same—Luke SBewell, Myatt and Autry, Hudlin, Miller, Miljus, Grant, Shaute and Underhill are holdover hurlers available to Manager Roger Peckinpaugh. He looks for further assistance from ameng such players as Holloway, Jimmy Zinn, who in five of the last six ye#rs has won 20 or more games a scason fro Kan- sas City in the American Associa- tion; James Moore, of Little Rock, who led the Bouthern Association pitching last year and Wesley Jer- rell, who pitched 20 victories last ason for Terre Haute. All comers are right handers. league teams, will remain in their training camp until they start north for the opening. They will meet all comers, but will do no travelling. WITH THE BOWLERS VS CONN.

GODFREY AND PAULINO 10 FIGHT AT HAVANA Giant Negro Heavyweight and matched for February 18. New York, Jan. 21 M—A return match between George Godfrey, giant negro heavyweight, and Paul- ino Uzcudun, the Basque woodchop. per, will be staged at Havana, Cuba, on KFebruary 18 if present negotia. tions by the Madison Bquare Garden corporation are successful. | Colonel John 8. Hammond, acting | general manager of the corporation, | revealed plans for the match had ‘Ibcen outlined at a confergnce heré Saturday. Godfrey's manaler, Jim- my Dougherty, said the big negro was ready to meet either Paulino o Tom Heeney, the New Zealander. Heeney, however, probably will not be ready to fight for at least a month, Some obscrvers, however, thought |it extremely unlikely that Paulino’s handlers will sign for the Godfrey match. Godfrey outpointed the Spaniard in a gruelling encounter on the Pacific coast last year. Paulino practically is a certainty to appear in ene of the big heavy- welght elimination bouts to be held this summer and another defeat by the giant negro might throw him out of the picture entirely.
