' ;Speaking of Sports Without receiving any definite in- formation from the manager of the local basketball team, there is a strong feeling in the air that some- thing radical is going to happen to the lineup of the New Britain team. Tt isn't simply & case of a team losing games that counts but it is a case of something being amims that does count. The local quintet has won nine games and has lost six. The last four have been defeats, by clos¢ margins every one. However, to the apectators, it appeared that every one of these games should have been won except that some- thing is missing in the team. To find out what is lacking is the manager’s job and he thinks that he has found it. The team, as & whole, lacks a player that can get the points. One man or two cannot com- pete against a team, the members of which each and every one are scor- ers. Saturday night, Sloman and Zaksewski had no help at all in keeping New Britain within strik- ing distance of the Renaissance team. The team's play in the first halt ‘was s0 ragged that the Renaimsance showed complete superiority over the home crew. This situation was changed slightly in the second halt and the game had a rather exciting finish. New Britain lost by three points, Just what the plans of Manager Lanpher happens to be, is something that he is keeping to himself. ‘Whether he will effect any changes before Wednesday night's game with Bristol remains with him. The locals play Bristol in Bristol ‘Wedneaday night and Bristol comes here next Saturday. Two losses to Bristol will certain- Iy cook New Britain's goose as far as any claim to the atate champlon- ship goes. This is quite & takedown after the splendid record of the lo- cal team last season. Then, New Britain was the most feared quintet in the state, Is that the situation here today? Things might not look so bad at the phesent time had not the quin- tet, with McEiwain in the lineup, made all opposition look so bad. Teams that were Mighly rated came here one after the other and New Britain was winning by large sized scores. Then McElwain left and New Britain started to lose. The team has won only one game since that time, and that was the victory scored over Bristol in Bristol New Year's night. We are awaiting the announce- ment of Manager Lanpher with re- gard to his team this week and, we Dbelleve, all the fans in the city, in- terested in the team, are in the DENPSEY STARTS ROAD WORK AGAN Activities of Former Champ Orershadow Goming Bout New York, Jan. 28 (UP)—There's & thrill for fight fans in the news from Miami Beach that Jack Demp- sey has started roal work again. For most fans, the activities of the ex-champion are of greater moment than the plans of Jack 8harkey and Young Stribling for their heavy- welght bout next month. Dempaey's vivid personality dominates the Flor- ida sports acene, “Just want to keep in shape,” re- plied Jack in response to a query from the United Press today as to why he had begun once more the weary grind at daybreak, jogging for miles along the sands with Jerry Lu- vadis, faithful little shadow, &t his elbow. : But Dempsey in training is a mo- mentous figure in the fight world, for all that. Dempsey in his shirt sleeves in a temporary office, dictat- ing to a alip of a black haired sten- ographer his assurance to impor- tunate ticket meekers is one thing. Dempsey, bundled in heavy sweaters pounding and panting along the beach while superfluous poundage pours from him, is quite another. “I'm just a promoter now,” Jack insists, but what if an unforeseen development should call him into the ring ®s & principal? It is true that Dempsey has no im- mediate designs upon the person of either S8harkey or Stribling, but it is an open secret that the former champion would dearly love to try accounts with Paulino Uscudun or some other slow-footed, dull-witted slugger with whom he could trade punches until one or the other drop- Jack probably does not intend to take his training too seriously for the time being, since he will find that the cares of a promoter increase in weight and number as the date of a fight draws near, Young 8tribling has announced his intention of flying to Miam! Beach from New Orleans on Wednesday. “Come by train. Keep out of the air,” Dempsey once more wired the Georgian, Sharkey's trainer will arrive at the scene of next month's battle on Tues- day to arrange for training quarters for the Bostonian. The latter is in no hurry to go to Florida. He makes no secret of his wish that the fight were taking place in the north. But $100,000 is a lot of money. There no longer need be any doubt about the success of the affair, Dis- paragement voiced in northern cities fails to take into account the en- thusiasm of the south over Billy Stribling. Already the railroads running into Florida h arranged for special trains from New York, Chicago, De- troit, Atlants, New Orleans, Havana and Macon, Ga.,, the city which comes closest to claiming the bushy browed young southern heavyweight as its own, H| Herriot, rg .

MEHLHORN SET GOLFING RECORD Takes All Honors for Winter Play in Texas Tourneys San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 28 UP— The golfing record of Texas went with Bill Mehlborn today as he mov- ed on to Hot Springs, Ark., for the $8,000 South Central open tourna- ment, starting there January 31, The crafty Fennimore pro, com- plete master of the Lone Star state's winter open tournaments, carried with him a new wwid's record, & new Texas open record, two courze records, and two first prizes totaling $2,000. Mehlhorn collected the major purse, $1,600, in successtully defend- ing his title in the Texas open here yesterday with 277 strokes, a new tournament record. His €6 on the third round set a new course record for Breckenridge park. His total was 7 strokes below par for the course, and was four atrokes under young Horton 8mith of Jop- lin, O, who took second money of $800 with his 281, a masterful score of itself, Except for one bad round last Fri- day the New York star might have equalled or eclipsed his El Paso per- formance here, for after getting away to a bad 76 on the opening day he came back to whittle atrokes from par in every successive round. He was 2 under par with a 69 Sat- urday and yesterday morning he set the new record. He went around in the afternoon in 67, the old course record. Mehlhor: 648 strokes for the two successive 72-hole tournaments were 24 strokes under pi and probably entitle him to another world's record for low strokes in successive tourneys. BSmith never had a bad round in the local $6,600 event, but his scores hovered around par, and he was wholly unable to match Mehlhorn's scorching rounds. His total of 69- 72-70-70—281 showed only the sec- ond round over par figures, and was &o0d enough to win in most tourna- ments. Willard Hutchison of Pasadena, Cal., threatened for a time to crowd Mehlhorn out of the picture by shooting & 69 Baturday and coming back yesterday morning with a &7 to tie Mehlhorn at the 62 hole mark. He faded in the afternoon, however, taking a 72 where he needed a 66 to tie. As a result he shot 282 and colected $500 for third place. Frank Walsh, Appleton, Wis., won $400 with a 284; Danny Williams, Shackamaxon, N. J, $300 with a 285; and Joe Kirkwood, Albany, Ga., and Al Watrous, Detroit, $176 each with 287, The remaining 30 high pros split the remainder of the money.

Show Expected Improvement—YVisitors Have Eight | Point Lead at Half Time—“Cappy” Ricks Proves to Be Outstanding Star of Game — Sloman Heavy Scorer. Outplaying and outshooting the New Britain team both from the floor and from the foul line, the Re- naissance basketball five of Harlem, N. Y., colored basketball champions of the world, avenged themselves Saturday night for two defcats hand- ed to them in this city last seasol by romping off with a 36 to 33 win at the Stanley Arena. Though fail- ing to display the same impressive form as in former years, the visitors easily outplayed the locals in every department, “Cappy” Ricks, left forward on the Renaissance quintet, staged a scoring party all his own when he caged eight fleld baskets and three foul ! shots for a total of 19 points. His fleld baskets, with one exception, were all spectacular shots, Al Slo- man, after a trying first period, ran wild in the second half and scored total of 14 points. A pretty scoring duel was staged by the two centers with Jimmy Zakzewski topping 8an- ders, lanky visitor for a lone point. The New Britain man got 11 to 10 for the dusky pivot man. Once again the New Britain team gave a poor exhibition. In the first half, the team worked the ball down to the opposing basket time after time only to lose it and invariably the visitors brought it back for a score., The New Britain players com- mitted many fouls and these gave the visitors a considerable edge over them. The Renaissance team caged 10 in 18 shots while the locals slip- ped in only seven out of 13 free tries. The same disorganization and lack of fight that has characterized the team in its four previous games was very evident again Saturday night. The team could not get going until the second half was well under way and although the locals then showed plenty of superiority over the famous combination opposed to it, the time was too short for the home team to recuperate and get into the lead. ‘Whether there will be a shakeup in the lineup remains to be seen. More and more the loss of McEIwain and what it meant to the team, is being impressed on the spectators. ‘The largest house of the season viewed the game. Ricks started the scoring with a fleld basket when almost four min- utes had been played. Sloman cag- ed a foul but Ricks made two tries good. Zakzewski and Sloman caged fleld baskets tying the count at four all but this was a signal for the visitors to put on steam and they steadily drew away from the Hard- ware City combine, At the 13 minute mark, the Re- naissance Fve led by a 13 to 6 score six field goals and two fouls for a The score: ' Ttl. | ¥l Sloman. rf ...

Joe and the judge talked over the situation here yesterday, Joe left the conference in & good humor, but still unsigned. Fuchs offered “Jump- ing Joe” a salary somewhat below what he received from the New York Yankees, but took care of at least a part of the difference by adding a bonus clause. That's what Dugan is kicking about. He wants a flat salary contract calling for a little more salary and no bonus. OUR BOARDING HOUSE q V' mistad MASOR INRESTIA MAN !

Washington, Jan. 28 UP—Herbert Hoover is going to bump into a fight with the democrats on his proposal to limit the intended extrn session of the new congress this spring to the consideration of tarift and farm legislation. Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the democratic leader, sounded the war cry today with a declaration against the president-elect's propos- al, which he terms unconstitutional. “There are many things on which legislation will be needed if the ex- ra session is called,” said Benator Robinson, “and certainly there is no constitutional method by which the senate can be limited in the exercise of its legislative duties.” However, republican leaders are looking confidently to the power of an overwhelming majority in the house to carry out the limitation scheme. Tt is conceded that, if the house republican leaders finally de- cide only to organize the necessary committees for consideration of the tariff and farm relief, no oOther 1cgislation can be put through there. Republicans will have a majority of almost 100 in the house. The senate can go ahead tnd pass all the bills it wants to in the extra session but if the house majority refuses to consider them they can- not become law. House leaders do not intend to consider anything but tariff and farm relief in deference to thg wishes expressed by Mr. Hoover in his conferences here this month. The Hoover administration's heme can be upset only by a coal- on of democrats with a healthy sized block of republican v tes in the house. House democrats are gauging the prospects but their hope is faint. May Sign Paulino to Meet K. O. Christner New York, Jan. 28 M—Paulino Urcudun, and not Tom Hecney, may be matched against K. O.
