of Sports The New Brithin basketrall team was greeted by'a bedlam of nolse in Bristol last night when the fans and spectators armed with ecow bells, razzodets, whistles and every other kind of noise making contriv- ance. The compliment can be re- turned by New Britain fans Satur- day night when Bristol comes here for a return game, New Britain took a severe shel. lacking at the hands of the Endeus but once again the hard-luck shoot- ing jinx was on the locals. What- ever is the matter cannot be discove ered by the players or by the fans. It was a bad night for New Brit- ain all around last night. The pole team was nosed out by Providence in the American roller hockey league by the score of ¢ to 5. The local team has a chance to recuperate this loss tonight when it plays Fall River, ‘We are forced to call the atten- tion of our readers to the fact that letters unsigned or with initials will received absolutely no attention hece in this office. During the past few days we have received several anonymous communications and they have gone the way of all ' the others, to the waste basket, Fans who wish to make criticisms of the basketball team, the manage- ment, the players or any other item connected with sports must let us know who they are. It is only a ‘waste of time for them to write into this .office and condemn everything and expect that we are going to print their writings. We are not re- sponsible for the opinions of every fan in the city, Signed atticles will receive consid- eration. When they are printed, the name of the writer will not be used if a request is made to that effect, But we are not going to be held re- spousible for what somebody else wishes to say. The name will be kept absolutely confidential and it would be our delight ta give these fans a medium of @xpression for their thoughts, To demonstrate the difference ba- tween the viewpoint of twd fans. One wrote us telling us that a cer- tain player on the New Britain team was absolutely terrible. The next day we received another giving us a call because we hadn't given this very same player enough credit. It a fan wishes to say something then he or she should say it and not hide behind an anonymous com- munication. That's all, The alley record at Rogers Recre- ation bowling alleys was shattered vesterday afternoon by Walter Aimes. His scores follow: 20-40-60- 80-100-120-140-168-186-196. Eddie Barnikow, goal tender for the Albany team shattered the goal tending records last night for stops when he chalked up a total of 124 stops in the game with Waterbury, Referee Coyle called four per- sonals on Johnny Sheehan so fast that the local boy did not have time to work up a sweat. It was a dis- appointed Sheehan that went down- stairs to the showers. Arburr refused to be dismayed at the reputation of Picken, star for- ward of the Bristol team, and he elung to him like a lcech. Every time Picken got his hands on the ball, Arburr cither knocked it out or forced him to pass it to a team- mate. For the first time in years since the Bristol-New DBritain series start- ed, Manning failed to guard Sloman. The opening lineup found Manning pitted against Sloman but upon Manning's request, Waterman was given the assignment of guarding Al We wonder if Manning has final- ly come to the conclision that 8I man is his master. On New Year's day, with Manning guarding him in both games, Sloman ran wild and scored at will. Tor steadiness in the pinches, Richtmyer of the Endecs cannot be beat. This boy is in on every play and his baskets put the game on ice for the Indees just when New Vritain was starting to rally. Zakzewski came in for consider- able riding from a hass voiced root- er of the Bristol team. This man started before the game and all during the battle it was, “Zakzew- #ki. why don’t you do this and why don't you do that." He hails from Waterbury. Sloman’s baskets were beautiful #nd were scored from long distance points while on the run. Even Bria- tol roofers applanded POUGHKEEPSIE REGATTA Blue Ribhon Event of College Row- ing Set As Final Race of the Year. New York, Jan. 31 (P—The Poughkeepsie regatta, blue ribbon event of the college rowing, will re- turn to its place as the final race of the scason this year. The date set yesterday by the stewards of the In- tercollegiate Rowing Association is June 24, three days after the Yale- Harvard races at New London. Last year the Poughkeepsie rcgatta was held before the Yale-Harvard event. Wisconsin, which has competed on geveral previgus occasions but was missing in 1928, returns to the race this year. California, Washington and Navy also have been invited to compete with the four members of the association. Races will be held for varsity, ‘Junior varsity and fresh- man crews. When we say “A Merry Chris the Swedes say “Glad Julen “Kinga Shinnen.” the Span- clices Pasenas” and the Chi- Tin Hao Nian."” mas” the Ja ish nese SHOWING A NEAT PROIT Roturns for Janmary Better Than for Last Year New York, Jan. 31 (UP)—The passing of a man as celebrated in the world of sport as Tex Rickard inevitably was followed by the as- sertion that no one could fill his ghoes. The names of various possible successors to the late prometer were bandied abeut, without anyone expressing confidence in the man whom Rickard himself had named as his assistant in the somewhat complicated business of managing Madison Square Garden. Today we have the unexpected situation wherein Colonel John 8. Hammond, at present general man- ager of New York city’'s sports arena, is operating the Garden profit which exceeds the mest mistic_estimates of the directors when Tex wag in office. The Garden is showing a profit for the month of January which exceeds by §$80.- 000 the profits of January 1923, when Rickard, apparently in the prime of health, was in full contrel. Yet Colonel Hammond has pro- duced this excess profit under the handicap of having the heads of 1§ departments of the mammoth sports arena sbsent on one pretext or an- other, Dick Hoyt, the leading stockhold- er and virtual boss of affairs at Madison Square Garden, is away on a crulse. The heads of all depart- ments which formerly functioned under Rickard are in Miami Beach, occupying themselves with the pro- posed Sharkey-Stribling fight, or have quit the organization. 8till Hammond, a sunburnt, white haired former West Pointer, shy to the point of confidence, carries on, enabling the one successful venture in sports finance in New York city to proceed profitably. Anyone who imagines that the business of managing Madison Bquare Garden is an easy matter has only to take a look at the scene during a week-day afternoon. Then come folks who want to mooch a ticket or two to the next attraction, men seeking jobs for themselves or relatives, men with get-rich-quick schemes and others who would like to borrow a ten spot, and the whole world of optimists which used to settle like flies around the late Tex Rickard’s office door. The fight at Miama Beach may or may not be a success, but the Gard- en continues to earry on, piling up profits which were unknown curing the regime of Rickard. Through it all sits this genial boss of affairs, Colonel Hammond, with a ready and soclable answer to each problem presented te® him. The box office men, the superin- tendents, the maintenance men and the sccretaries who knew Rickard'a secrets all are gone, but still the Gar§en shows its profits and the distracted but willing general man- ager takes on all comers. In the sudden search for a suc- cessor to Tex Rickard, Colonel Hammond was promptly overlook- ed. “Oh, he was just an a everyone said. Mayor Jimmy Walker, Babe Ruth, Calvin Coolidge. Jim Jeffries andi goodness knows who else were men- tioned as heads of the Garden Cor- poration to fill the brogans of ro- mance and finance which Tex had occupied. The test of accomplishment has been applied, and Colonel Hammond has met it. When the shouting and clamor at Miami Beach is over, it may be that. this ex-West Pointer, with his quiet dignity which econ- trasts so with Rickard’s open-hand- edness, and his efficiency which ex- ceeds that of the late promoter, will be found to be the man for the Jjob. SCHMELING WILL GET BIG CHANCE TOMORROW German Heavyweight Moets Johnny Risko at Garden in 10 Round Bout. New York, Jan. 31 (P—Max 8chmeling, the most vertical of re- cent heavyweight boxing importa- tions, will get the biggest chance ©of his career to climb into the front rank of contenders for the title to- morrow night and he will be in bet- ter shape than he has been for any of his previous Amcrican engage- ments. Max completed his prepara- istant,” | tions weighing 186 pounds yesterday | for his ten round battle with Johnny Risko of Cleveland in Madison Squarc Garden. He is reported to have put on five pounds in three weeks. For the German, the bLout may prove a stepping stone ranks of the contenders for Tun- ney’s-old title. A year ago Rinko, with decisions over Juck 8harkey, Paulino Uzcudun and George Godfrey, was considered in the top rank of heavyweights. 8ince then he has slipped back con. siderably, losing recently to Jimmy Maloney and Ernfe Schaaf. But he has yet to become the victim of a knockout, and a knockout is just what Max is going after. Schmeling figures that he can make sure of his position among the real contenders by dropping the Cleveland baker boy, while a deci- sion may or may not get him .ny- where. Max started his American career a few months ago by knock- ing out Joe Monte, rugged Boston- ian, and followed this with an easy victory over Joe Sekyra, although he failed to put out the Dayton boy. On the strength of his showing against Bekyra and reports of im- provement in his speed and hitting rower, Schmeling had been made a slight favorite In the advance pre- dictions.

It has been very diMcult to know what to do to solve this mest pressing probiem. I am sure things will be righted, but I'm afraid it must take time.

Stopping off at Jarrow, the prince inspected conditions among the stecl workers and shipyard men. He sheok hands with 50 men there many of whom have been without i work for eight years. Greeted by Throngs As he rode through Durhem towns made desolate by the spectre of unemployment, people crowded to see him. When his car stopped in the main streets of Jarrow where there has been great poverty and sickness, people surged around him and above the crowd came the dis- tressed cry of a woman pushing her way through. “Let me just touch him,” cried. g 8he was Mrs. Annie Smith, who is blind.
