: Speaking of Sports “Jigger" Higgina, star of other years in roller polo, failed to shine at all yesterday when he played with the Providence team against New Britain, After the game, he said BEARGATS RETAIN LEAD IN LEAGUE Deleat Tigers fn Y Saturday Lo By 30 44 S that he was “glued to the floor”| and he had wanted to star here for the fans of this city. That's the way a mental attitude works on an athlete in any kind of sports. “Jigger” wanted to be good und he was far from it. *“Kid" Wil- liams made up for what he lacked because he was a veritable wild man on the floor. Alded by Harey ‘Thompson, they presented an um- beatable combination. S0 much has been said since Sat- urday night about the basketball tepm that there is hardly any need for any comments here. Certain it is that the fans who attended the game at the Arena Saturday night were certainly hot under the collar when the local team took its ter- (rible beating at the hands of the Bristol team. The lot of & manager is certainly a tough one. Manager Lanpher re- ceived & distinct shock when he saw Etruchbury in action. If we guess rightly, Struchbury played his first and last game here. He falled to show a thing in the game Baturday night and it doesn’t appear that he is suited for the New Britain team. “Jiggs" Donoghue, once a hated member of the Bristol Endee team, will play with New Britain starting tomorrow night. Disgusted with the highly touted New Yorkers, Mana- xer Lanpher has decided to stay uearer home where basketball talent is better and steadier. Donoghue has been playing basketball steadily and is in excellent shape. He will jump center, thus offset- ting the handicap under which Zak- zewski has becn working against taller men and Zakzewski will’ play at forward. Donoghue should be a great help in bringing the team back from wherever it has been for the rast five weeks. New Britaln plays the Manchester Tecs tomorrow night in Manchester and although the quintet may be in the “dumps” at the present time, it ghould snap out of the fog and play the game, Bristol was working perfectly Raturday night and the team would probably have won anyway. It isn't as much better than New Britain as it displayed Saturday night, how- ever, when, of course, the New Pritain team is playing basketball. BILLIARD TOURNEY T0 OPEN TONIGHT Six Masters of the Cue Entered in Title Play New York, Feb, 4, (M—With six maiters of the cue in the field, the world's championship 18.2 balkline billiards tournament opens at the Level club here tonight.

Tomorrow afternoon Welker Coch- ran will meet KEric Hagenlacher, German champlon and in the eve- ring Felix Grange of France, Play will continue every afternoon and evening gxcept Sunday with che windup_a; weck tomorrow night. Ior the first time In many years Willie Hdppe, long monarch of the balkline game, will not be a con- testant. Willie finished sixth in a field of seven in the last tournament at Washington in 1927 and now de- votes himself exclusively to three- cushion billiards. Ixperts are disposed to eliminate Matsuyama and Grange from title consideration. The other four play- ers are rated with about equal chances of capturing the coveted crown. Victory will carry with it a cash award of approximately $10,.- 000, The runner-up will receive about $5,000 and awards are to be proportionately to the other con- testants, CLAIMS HEAYY TITLE Tom Heency's Manager Says His Vighter Should Be Recognized [d Champion. New York, Icb. ¢ (UP)—Charley Harvey, manager of Tom Heeney, foday claimed the heavyweight championship for the New Zealan- der who was stopper by Gene Tun- ney in a fight for the title last sum- mer. Harvey argucs that with the re- tirement of Tunney the title should have reverted to Jack Dempsey. and that since the latter gives no indica- tion of defending it, Heeney. as the last man to face the retiring cham. pion, should have it. _ Tom is ready to defend his newly claimed title against all comers, Harvey adds.

FIGHT PRINCIPALS ARE NOT WORRIED Advance Dopesters Are Working Overtime At Miami Miami{ Beach, Fla., Feb. ¢ (P— The dopesters were in hard training today for the Sharkey-Stribling fight February 27, although the principals in the battle of Miami Beach gave no indications of being overburden with worry, While Young Stribbling. pride of Macon, Ga., and Jack 8harkey, erst- while Boston gob, sought the surf and the golf courses in indifrerent attempts at conditioning the goggle- eyed groups which have watched the boxers' every mashie stroke since their wrrival here last week, began their serious work of advance ex- perting. 8o far, the weather has led other topics in early speculation. It has been argued loudly that B8harkey, fresh from the cold north, will be Harold M. Robert W. Levi Casey, Carr, Yale. Kuck, Los Edmund F.

Both Sharkey and Stribling be- lieve their recent fights have put them in shape for the bout, and in- tend to engage only in light work.

LINDY MAY BE IN | sistant Commerce Secretary Miawmi Beach, Fla, Ieh. 4 (UP) —President-clect Hoover is drafting a comprehen: e scheme for devel- {opment of aviation, one of the m |jor objectives of his administration, ich Colonel Charles A. Lind- . youthful master of the skies, may have a prominent role. Tentative negotiations are under way, it is learned, gpsigned to place | Lindbergh in the commerce depart- imr‘nt as assistant secretary in charge {of aviation. Lindbergh is just be- ‘;;mnin;: « promising career in pri- | vate aviation enterprise and natural- {ly would consider carecfully aban- | donment of ghis carcer and entrance linto the governmental field. The president-elect talked yester- day with Lindbergh who celebrated his 27th birthday today by pointing his amphibean plane into the skies to Panama. Lindbergh was luncheon guest at Belle Isle. With his usual reticence {the young aviator declined to dis- cuss either his conference with Mr. Hoover or the possibility of his en- trance into the little cabinet, the [group of under secretarics who bear much responsibility in conduct of |government affairs. | “I have no information on that,” |he sa May Link Continents One of Mr. Hoover's main aviation ,Objectives is an air link between North and South America, a prob- {lem to which he gave considerable . |attention on his recent Latin-Ameri- jcan tour. This flight of Lindbergh' is a step in that direction, signali “{ITILE CABINET" | ‘Hoover Considers Him for As- on a trail blazing flight from here ing the opening of the route t@ Cene tral America.

It is not thought, however, that his age would be against him, since he has proved his judgment on numerous occasions. President-elect Hoover today was just exactly a month from his in- {auguration, He turned his attention to tariff revision at the extra ses- sion of congress in a conference | with Senator 8moot of Utah, chair- man of the senate finance commit- tee, who arrived today to be a house | guest.
