Speaking f Sports An innovation, interesting to all sport fans, will be tried out tonight at Willow Brook park at the munici- pal swimming pool when an ice- hockey game to be played by the aid of electric lights, will be attempted. At 8 o'clock, the North Ends will take on the Bpads in an effort to climb out of the cellar in the local lcague. Lee Cote will handle the game and the public will be allowed to use the rink after the game, LAE2 Y o February 13 has been finally settled upon as the date for the her- ulded benefit game for Fred Saun- ders, All arrangements were com- pleted last night between the par- ties interested and tickets for the af- fair will be distributed in the near future, Manager Lanpher has started the reorganization of his team. He an- rounced today that he had released Rubenstein and had signed Struch- bury and Arburr. Struchburry comes from New York and Arburr is the local back court star, Manager Lanpher has also decided to carry eight men instead of the seven he has been playing with since the opening of the season. The squad as it will be, starting next Saturday night, will consist of Slo- man, Struchbury, Zakzewskl, Leary, Sheehan, Holst, Restelll and Arburr. The signing of Arburr 1s & move that has been contemplated by Man- ager Lanpher for some time, In his cfforts to get a permanent organiza- tion, the local team pilot has been studying the various players on amateur and semi-pro teams and’ Arburr has shaped up as, by far, the best of the lot. Arburr should be a big number on the team. His experience has made Jim fit for fast company and in the sames in which he will play, whether Jie is paired up with Johnny Shee- han or Tom Leary, he should bo & good running mate in the back court, Just who Manager Lanpher will have with the team for Wednesday right, is a question. Roxbury, who played tforward with Johnny Beck- man's All-Stars last season, may be signed for the single game or an- other player might be secured. The decision will be made today. McElwain who starred for New Fritain in the first games of the sea- son, will be a free agent about the second week of March and it goes without saying that he will most yrobably return to the local lineup. He is sorry that he ever left New Tiritain according to his latest com- munications but he is making really big money playing basketball for Fort Wayne, The signing of Arburr, another guard, has no significance of an- other change in the team. The sit. wation has been that Restelll h: l.een & relicf man for the forwards #nd the two locals guards, Sheehan and Leary, have had no rests. Because for the past few weeks he Yas feared that both these stars might go stale from overwork, Man- ager Lanpher decided that a wise move would be to get another guard 10 act as an alternate with the two already on t' * team. Both Leary and B8heehan have rhown slight signs of being over- drawn in condition. This hasn't af- fceted their playing to any great ex- tent but,a rest for either would be a good thing. Rubenstein appeared 10 he washed out in his first game with the local team, He was not the Rubenstein of past seasons and he hasn't improved, according to the consensus of opin- fon. To some, he appeared to be ill, while to others he appeared to be too finely drawn.

President Gil Guards Candidates in Mexico Mexico City, Jan. 29.—(P—Presi- dent Portes Gil today ordered Gov- ernor Margarito Remirez of Jalisco to dismiss and punish any govern- ment employes found to have partici- pated in an attack Sunday on Jose ‘Vasconcelos, presidential candidate, at Guadalajara, The president also asked all state governors to afford full protection to various presidential candidates tour- ing the country. At the same time he urged the candidates to refrain from criticizing local authorities in their political speeches. NOT ALWAYS HERO Chicago, Jan. 29 (A —Victor Velek, master-at-arms on the steamship America and onc of ty: lifeboat crew which rescued sailors from the ill-fated Florida last Wednesday, was not always a hero, Thirteen years ago Velek left his home in Joliet in anger. His father. recalling the occasion today, said Victor always had wanted to be a sailor, contrary to the father's hopes that the young man would become a railroader. There was yuite a scems when father laid down the law to the son 13 years ago, John Velek said. “Of course I forgive him,” told reporters. he “He's a hero now.” TERRI 15 DONE AS A FIGHTER Former East Side Idol Knocked Out by Babe Herman ly “finis" has been written to 8id Terris' fistic career. The once famous “Ghetto Ghost,” idol of New York Jewish fight fans, was knocked out by Babe Herman at the 8t. Nicholas Arena here last night. And with the heavy right hand punch that floored him went aH of Bid's hopes of a successful come-back campaign. He may fight again but probably not among the first-rank lightweights. For five rounds Terris was able to avoid the wild, awkward right hand swings Herman threw his way, but after twenty-two seconds of fighting |in the sixth round Herman connect- ed flush with Terris' jaw and the New Yorker went down and out. It was his third knockout defeat In less than a year. Long one of the leading contend- ers for the 136-pound crown, Terris | began to pass his peak late in 1927. Up to that time he had placed his chlef reliance on dazzling speed of foot and hand His speed began to fail and 8id tried to make up for it by developing a knockout punch —something he had never needel in his best days. After knocking out Ruby Goldstein in a round in June of 1927, he won a decision over Phil McGraw, the Detroit floriat in August, but only after he had been floored three times in the first round. In his next start, in September of 1927, he was beaten by Hilario Martinez, going down for three counts of nine in the sec- ond round. ‘Then followed two slam-bang bat- tles with McGraw. The first he lost on a foul and the second he won by decision. By this time virtually all of the marvelous speed and boxing skill that made him famous had disap- peared. In February of 1928 he was matched with Jimmy McLarnin ani the Pacific coast slugger knocked him out in a aingle round. After a long lay-off Terris engaged Ray Miller, the left hook artist, and the Chicagoan also knocked him out in a round. Since then ho has won two bouts but his showing in both was unsat. isfactory. He beat McGraw on a foul last Beptember and edged out a close decisioa over Jackie Pil- kington early this month. ‘Then came last night's disaster. Terris floored Herman in the fifth | round for a count of nine but Her- man, apparently unhurt, got up to stagger the New Yorker with a sav- age two-handed assault. Only one blow was struck in the sixth round. Herman’s right found Terris’ fragile jaw and the bout was over. IMPORTANT GAMES IN DUSTY COURT LEAGUF.

On account of their playing often there should be many changes in the standing before the season ends. Electrically Rivened Berries Cost $5 Each | Paris, Jan. 29.—(®—A light but expensive lunch of electrically ripen- ed strawberries heartened the labors of the academy of sciences today, The berries were produced at a meeting as an {llustration of the feasibility of making different plants grow rapidly by artificial light. Two irewll‘ch workers, Georges Truffaut jand M. Thurney-Essen, took only 40 | days to bring the berries to maturity as against 80 days required by the sun. The strawberries came high, how- ever, it cost five dollars a berry to produce them, but the academicians found them no less delicious for that reason.

The measure as adopted, provid- ‘ed that week-day prices of admis- sion should not be increased on Sun- day and that a fee of $2,500 should be charged for baseball licenses in parks with a seating capacity of ¢0,- That is approximatelq the ca- pacity of Braves field. Clauses limiting 35 per cent of the 73 |meats to 50 cents on Sunday and set- ting ten cents as the top price for tonics and hot dogs were eliminated only after Councilmen Robert G. Wilson, John F.
