: Speaklng jof Sports Due to its poor showiag in its last three games, the New Britain basket- ball team is not the favorite in the game with the world's colored cham- { plons tonight, Ever dangerous, the Renaissance Five is especially so when any team is not up to the best standard, Whether the local team will be entirely “on” or not remains to be seen. With two games with Bristol due next week and the Bell Towners » slrengthening up their squad every week, the New Britain team will Jave to travel at top speed to keep & winning streak. The local roller hockey quintet plays Waterbury tonight and tomor- row in two important games, If the locals win these two, they will be so much closer to the Albany team. New Britain stands tied with Albany in the number of games won but it Las lost more than the Empire State tve, Providence and Fail River both appear to be able to defeat the bast quintets in the league. Both of these teams have been strengthened con- | Pa siderably in recent weeks and at the present time they both possess pow- erful offensives. The rcason has so far progressed that a final drive for the pennant is in prospect. The New Britain team shapes up as onc of the most logical contenders for the championship in the entire circuit. 1f the locals have good enough luck, they should make the race rather interesting for all concerned. Albany and Providence are consid- ered the best quintets in the circnit outside of the local club and the work of the Hardware Cily erew ugainst these two, gives the locals un edge. Providence came here a week nzo and New Britain swamped the Rhode Islanders without much trouble, de- spite the handicap of Barney Do- bsence from the lineup. Last uy night, New Britain clearl ed the league leaders in this ue o the exceptional play of Barney Doherty, veteran halfback. New RBritain and Hartford High schools meet in battle today in Hart- ford. Comparing the scores of the two teams, New Britain should be the favorite but the team is the un- dercog duc to the extracrdinary size of the Hartford court.

Banks Deleats City Champion in Demonstration Newell W. Banks, national check- ¢r champion, played in an exhibi- tion match at the Y. M. C. A. last evening. Mr. Banks played 50 games simultaneously and three games blindfold. He won 47 of the games he played simultaneously and drew three. The honors for the drawe went to Merwin Johnstone of 275 Maple street, E, Stanley Chase of 13 Summer strect, and Harry Strom- quist of €0 FEuclid avenue, city champion for 1926 and 1927. In the blindfold match Mr. Banks won the three ,ames, Karnik Torosian of Pelden street lasted the longest and finally lost by a quick move. Nathan Stephenson of Linden strect, checker champion in the city wide checker tournament for 1928, lost his game to Mr. Banks. This exhibition formally opens the city wide checker tournament for 1929. This tournament is con- ducted at the “Y" each year to de- cide the city champion.

A minfature land- scape was laid out on the floor. Ail the girls kept their own record of the paces and at the end of the class several girls plotted out rude maps. The next class will be held at Walnut Hill park where the girls will trace and draws maps of & small aréa of the park. Refresh. ments were served later in the eve- ning. The following girls have passed . examinations in the following merit badges: Kathleen McCormick, Troop &, laundress: Idna Emerson, Troop 4, Jaundress; Cynthia Warren, Troop 2, pathfinder.

Bagshaw to Remain as Coach at Washington attle, Wash,, Jan. 26 (UP)— och Bagshaw apparently is to re- main head football coach at the University of Washington, student opposition notwithstanding. Dr. M. Lyle Spencer, president of . the university, ruled with the faculty athletic committee last night that : Bagshaw should remain, holding that his dismissal, as voted by'the student board of control, would con- stitute breach of contract. “1 request. the president waid, “that all students end this discua- NATIONAL TEAM Likely Penstot Winoers New York, basis of mid-winter calculations, the only baseball fuel available now, the National league divides itself into two parts for 1939, Advance opinions of experts show & disposition to place the Chicago Cubs, New York Giants, Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louls Cardinals in the frant rank with the Cincinnati Reds, Brooklyn Robins, Philadelphia ing up the rear. would find baseball history repeating itself for the first division clubs last year were 8t. Louis, New York, Chi- cago and Pittsburgh. The big bat of Hornsby, added to the Cubs’ offensive, may be powerful enough to lift Chicago above its third place standing of 1928. With the exception of adding the former 8t. Louis and Boston manager to his infield-Manager McCarthy will atand t. The Giants will enter the next campaign with few changes, one im- portant move being the addition of Fred Leach, former Phillie, to the outfield. Information from Toledo is that Pat Crawford, S8outh Carolina jack of all American trades, will be heard from. The Cardinals propose to gamble on & whelesale scale in the infield sending Charley Gilbert and Carey Belph, two sensational minor league recruits to shortstop and second base with Frankie I'risch moving to third leaving only Jim Bottomley as a holdover in the first line of defense. Billy Bouthworth, a prominent figure in the 1926 world series and last year highly successful as manager of Rochester, will manage the Cards and appear occasionally in his old stamping ground, right field. er pitcher, the Pirates traded Glenn Wright, their shortstop, for Jess Pet- ty, star southpaw of Brooklyn. a successor must be found for Wright and he may be located by moving Pie Traynor from third base. This doubtless will depend on the ability of Jim Stroner, Wichita recruit to take care of third. The second division clubs of last season look with eager anticipation at a full crop of talent from the minors. They will have more youngsters than their more favored fellows, and will need them more. The Phillies were lucky in the draw last season and have more to build about than was the ‘case when Burt 8hotton took his club south last spring. Don Hurst, Pinky Whitney, inflelders, Chuck Klein, outfielder and two promising catch- ers, Davis and Lerian, made good laat year, Thompson and Thevenow complete an able infield combina- tion. If the Phillies get an improved brand of pitching they should get out of the cellar iln 1929, The Reds have been on the look- out for additional hitting strength and Jack Hendricks thinks he hi arranged for some extra base hits from Joe Stripp, third baseman. The outfield may be tinkered too befo the season gets under way, as thei are several men in the new crop who hit minor league pitching to good advantage. Brooklyn will depend on Glenn Wright to boost the inficld and Billy Rhiel should be about due for infield or outfield assignment after a sea- soning period at Atlanta. Manager Wilbert Robinson has declared the outfield wide open with a free-for. all battle at Clearwater to decide the winners of positions. Boston faces a difficult task. The Braves will have to draw heavily on their reinforcements to assemble a cast strong enough to make a dent in the armor of rival clubs. Rabbit Maranville, who never grows old, will play short and bring a lot of enthusiasm to one of his many Alma Mater clubs, and George Harper may do some hitting. The outfield will be bullt around Lance Richbourg, one of the great players of the game. President-Manager Emil Fuchs, his first lieutenant, Johnny Evers and Hank Gowdy, second assistant, will have plenty of players to inspect at the Bt. Petersburg, Fla, training camp. Chick Meehan to Coach For Three More Years New York, Jan. 26 (UP)—Chick Meehan has signed a contract to coach the New York university foot- ball team for three more ycars, ac- cording to an announcement from Professor G. Rowland Collins, chair- man of the board of athletic control. Although terms of the contract were not made public, it is under- stood that Meehan received a sub- ntial increase in salary which will place him among the highest paid coaches in the country. During the four seasons Mcehan has coached New York university teams the Violets have played 37 op- ponents, lost six, tied three and won 28 games. Meehan came to N. Y. U. from Syracuse in 1925, after serving as head coach there for five years. Officers for 1929 Chosen By St. Cecilia’s Choir The 8t.

Work Overtime | Doorn postal clerks were working overtime to handle the large amount of congratulations coming by mail. “The big influx of letters started on the twenty-second, where on oth- er years it never began before the twenty-sixth,” an official said. “The bulk is greater than ever before and comes chiefly from Germany.

Many per- | |sons sent their own photographs as ib“’thdly mementos, Can't Pose | Because of a law of the Hohen- | zollern house Wilhelm may not Do»‘ei for photographs, Baron Ulrich Von Sell, friend and co-worker of the former kaiser, informed every one asking for permission to take pic- tures. It was stated that by this {law Wilhelm may never pose for a ifllnl again and only for a photogra- pher especially appointed whose pic |tures must be approved before being made public.

In placing this foreword in the hands of the corre- spondent, Baron Von Sell described it t | oreword of his majesty the iscr and king, for an interview to be published January 26, 1929, which ll have given the chief representative | of the Berlin bureau of the Associa- |ted Press with the approval of his | majesty. The text of this foreword follows: “To promote the welfare of the | German people and to preserve the veace of the world — this has ever {been the supreme law governing my {actions. In the firm faith in God the all just, I therefore hope to live to | see the day that shall free us Ger- {mans from the burden of the false | accusation of having unleashed the greatest of all wars, In the interview the former em- | peror speaking through Boran Von “Wilhelm." Rell, declared that “the preliminary treaty of November 5, 1918” bearing | directly on the reparations problem, | had been broken and that he had ob- |served with satisfaction that the thesis of Germany’s sole guilt for the war was becoming more and more untenable. Allies Expand Obligations Growing reminiscent, he denied whatever te the limitations of this preliminary treaty. It was simply de- creed that Germany was to be held liable for ali the Allles’ costs fcur- red in the war. The basis for this action was furnished by the thesis of Germany's guilt for the war—an un- scrupulously invented lie. German reparations already delivered and the losses of territory incurred through the dictate of Versailes ex- ceed many times the sums estimat- ed by Keynes and Nitti, and still there is no end in sight. “During the negotiations which are about to be opened it should be remembered and again and again emphasized that there is in exis- tence & preliminary treaty Wwhich was treated as a ‘scrap of paper’; also, that there is no such thing as a German responsibility for the war, upon which the reparations stand or fal This logically led to a discussion of the war guilt question as viewed by the former monarch. “Does his majesty sce any evi- dence of a change of public opinion outside of Germany in estimating Germany's guilt for the war, 19197 Baron Von Secll was asked ost decidedly his majesty does,” was his rejoinder. How could it be otherwise? For, the documents published since 1919 from German, Russian, Serbian and other archives have long brought irrefutable proof that the thesis of Germany's respon- sibility for the outbr of the wur is no longer tenable. England’s Hunger Blockade The discussion turncd to charge of Germal ducting the war, which finds expres- sion in the phrase. used in Ver- sallles, alleging that Germany is re- sponsible “likewise for the crucl and inhumane manner in Which the war was conducted.” Raron Van Sell was asked concerns his majesty in a very y ticular manner; what has he to say in reply?” The Baron replicd: from your question that the o of the propaganda concerning atrocities have not yet died out. the 44 new A SIX ably sm German cruelty in the conduct of the world war and revealed the maxims | that guided him during the 30 years | of his reign.
