of Sports » Clarence DeMar, veteran mara- thoner from Boston, will apeak to the Boy Scouts of New Britain Sat- urday night at the New Britain State ‘Irade school. DeMar, besides being one of the outstanding runners of the world today, is also a acout master in the Hub city. New Britain fight fans had their fil of thrills at the ama- teur fight tournament at the Stan. ley Arena last night. Nine knock- outs in 11 fights are certainly not seen every week especlally when the matches are good ones. We doubt if ever an amateur fight was more thrilling than that staged last night between Kid Carter of Middletown and Jackie Basile of Bristol. These two brought the fans right out of their seats as they shaled away at each other. Match- maker Wagner has signed the two for the featurc bout of next week's tournament, The matchmaker for the Stanley A. C. certainly made himselt solid last night by putting on an extra bout in place of the first one which proved to be a poor match. In the same instance Joe Turner of Boston didn’t hurt himself any by his will- ingness to enter the ring for a sec- ond time, Billy Reeves scored another knockout last night. The boy who beats him will be a good one. ggs” Donoghue, Holyoke star. Joins the New Britain basketball team tonight, Donoghue is as smart & basketball player as there is around here and he should be a big number with the locals. Wa look for his steadying influence to keep the team on earth. Jimmy Zakzewski should be a big number at forward. The handicap under which he has been laboring Jumping against men so much taller than himself, has taken away a great deal of his effectiveness as a player. He will be able to get hls points in the front court just the same and we look for him to stur more at forward than at center, We think it is sort of foolish for the fans to be picking on Manager Clarence Lanpher and blaming him for the terrible showing of his team. No one was more surprised or morc chagrined at the result of last Bat- urday night's game than he was. He might releasc the entire team and get a new quintet here but if Struchbury 18 an example of what he might cxpect, then the newcom- ers might be a great deal worse than those he has. New Britain has a good basketball team but the team has gone wrong for a period. Let the team get back its confidence and Bristol will never beat the crew as badly again, Frank Merriwell never did any- thing more melodramatic than the Boys' Club accomplished last ni ht when it came from behind and beat the Middletown Rusoos In the last seconds of pla Middletown, lead- ing by four points with about a minute left, confidently asserted that “they can't beat us now.” but the club pulled the impossible and snatchcd away the victory. It was Jake Parparian, the re- formed prodigal, who turned the trick, for his two foul shots at the critical moment were what steadied the team just when it was about to collapse. Jake, a fallure for years, is now making good with a ven- geance. Joe Goffa, whose exceptionally long goal tied the score with rome 30 second left to play, sald after the gume, “I've walted two years for a shot like that.” 1t was worth it The Middictown team was short two regulars, The mother of one died yesterday and the wife of an- other was taken to the hospital. The Ruscos have quite a record in the Middletown Industrial League and have one 90-0 victery to their credit. RBut that meant nothing to the Boys' club. We've Leard of the letter carrier who takes a walk on his duy off and of the firemen who hangs around the firchouse when he is off duty, but here’s one in sports.

Seamus McCall, scientist, has told Dublin women, the women of Erin knew how te redden their cheeks with berry juices and to pink their finger-tips to add to their natural charms. But these ancestresses were not mere trifiers or clinging vines, his- torical records disclose. Many of them won recognition as musicians and even as physicians, and in war- fare they were often found fighting by the side of their men. This mar- tial trait endured even down to the Sinn Fein movement; there were many women fighters and despatch carriers in the bloody revolution of Easter week 1916.

BATTALINO WL NEET JOE CURRY Hartlord and New York Battlers {0 Clash Tharsday Night Hartford, Feb. 5—Bat Battalino i3 hard at work putting on the finish- ing touches for his beyt with Joe Curry of New York at Foot Guard hell Thursday night.

Horemans last night had no con- trol and there lies the whole story of his defeat by little Matsuyama. dull and lengthy match did the champion ex- hibit the uncanny control of the balls that won for him the title in a challenge test against Cochrane last March. Horeman: ent most of the evening trying to make points with the balls at either end, or side, of the table. Only twice did he have runs of better than 50, Trail- ing by 324 to 112 at the end of the 11th inning, the champion tempo- rarily forgot his nervousness and counted 59. He followed this streak with a 58 in the 15th inning and added ¢4 on his next and last at- tempt These three runs could not save him from ovcrwhelming de- feat, but they did serve to make the acore & bit more respectable, Matsuyama, the five-foot, boy- faced stolid Japanese, meanwhile was running up points with a dis- play of steady, if not particularly brilliant, billiards. At times he took many chances but, us a general rule he was content to play u safe and conservative game and let Hore- [ mans beat himself. The Japanes: had three runs of better than b irunning 74 in the second inning, in the cighth and 89 in the 10th. After that his total mounted slowly, except for the 14th inning, when he ran 40 and in the 16th when he closed out the match with an un- finished run of 20, !

The meeting with Loughran will be the second for Emanucl whose fstic hopes were given a jolt several months ago by Mickey Walker.
