NEW BRITAIN BASKETBALL TEAM BREAKS JINX AND BATTLE HILLHOUSE FIVE HERE TONIGHT—“KID” WILLIAMS STILL LEADS SCORERS IN ROLLER HOCKEY LEAGUE — SPORTS NEW BRITAIN UNLEASHES SAVAGE ATTACK TO WIN Smashes Slump and Comes From Behind to Defeat Manchester Recs, 38 to 30—Al Sloman, After Score- less First Half, Cages Seven Baskets In Second Frame—Locals Trail 15 to 12 at Half Time—Zak- zewski Stars at Forward—Donoghue Plays. i Trailing by nine points two min- utes after the start of the second half, the New Britain basketbal team suddenly struck its stride ‘ndi led by a “shooting fool” #n the per- | aon of Al Sloman proceeded to bury the sensational Manchester Recs un- | der an avalanche of baskets and score a 38 to 30 victory. It was the first beating sustained by #he Man- | chester crew on its own twwr and its second beating of the season in 16 games. The game was played on the Manchester Reg floor and was witnessed by a capacity crowd. New Britain started the game with @ revised lineup in an attempt | to break its losing streak of six! straight games. “Jiggs® Donaghuc was in the pivot position, Sloman and Zakzewski at forwards aund Leary and Arburr in the backcourt. | This lineup proved to be the best; one that Manager lanpher has| started in the last six weeks and | worked to perfection. However the | small court handicapped the locals, | who spent the entire first half get- | ting used to it. The court was en- | closed in a net and the ball was i | play at all times. Numerous times the New Britain team lost the ball when it hit the net because the, players thought the sphere was dead and did not attempt to recover it.| The came started off with & whirl- wind of action and one minute after the start, McCann opened the scor- ing with a sensational long shot. | led by the eagle-eyed Stavnitsky, | the Rec players dropped in baskets | from all corners of the floor a!\d! led 15 to 12 at the half. The locals | played on even terms with the Man- chester crew in this session but Stav- nitsky's shooting proved to be too | much for them The Manchester quintet started off with a rush in the second half | and long shots by Norris soon pnt | it in the van by a 21 to 12 score. Here New Britain took time out and | on resumption of play swept| through the Manchester defense | time after time for a score. The passwork of the locals had the Silk Towners baffled completely and Slo- man and Zakzewski sucked in their men on simple tricks. Johnny Shee- han, standing on the side of the| court, dropped In a beautiful basket at the ten minute mark to put New Britain ahead for the first time ‘n the battle. Bensing victory after six weeks of consecutive def-ats, the New Britain crew became a group of fighting fools and literally swept the Manchester crew off its feet. sloman Runs “Wild Al Sloman had tonnd tne going tough in the first half, his shots rimming the basket time after time. | At the resumption of play in the second half, Sloman ran wild and gave a wonderful exhibition of shooting. He dropped in seven bas- kets that were all beauties. Some were long shots and others were casy suckers which Al caged after he had sucked his man out of po-! sition. The new lineup worked wonders and Lanpher appears to have struck the right combination after two' months of experiments, “Jigss” | Donaghue took practically every | jump and proved to be the pivot | man around which the New Britain | players worked. His cool and steady playing balanced the rest of the ag- gregation. Arburr Stars “Hank” Arburr started the game | in guard with Leary and proved to be the star of the game together with Sloman. Time after time Ar-! burr intercepted Manchester passes or took the ball from Manchester | players. He was all over the floor like & bolt of chain lightning and his playing inspired the rest of his teammates. “Hank” scored two long shots in the first half to keep the locals in the running. Zakzewski worked in nicely at forward and he and Sloman proved to be a danger- ous combination, Between the two |popularity of the game played under | men, they scored 29 points. As usual Leary was a stone wall on the de- tense and held his man to one ba ket. Sheehan played a strong game | for New New Britain at guard after Arburr had been banished at the ten minute mark on fouls. McCann opened the scoring with a long shot at the one minute mark. Zakzewski broke through to even the score with a hook shot at the three minute mark. Stavnitsky started to drop in sensational long shots from all positions on the | court and Manchester soon had a 10 to 4 lead. A rally by New Britain | brought the score up to 15-12 at the half. Second Half Two baskets by Norris from the center of the floor and a twin counter by Madden gave Manchest- a 21 1o 12 lead two minutes after the start of the second half. Sloman | “hen started on a spree and caged | three baskets in a row. Holland in- terrupted Sloman’s march for a min- ute with a basket but then All was off again, caging two more baskets in succersion. With the score 25 to | 24, Manchester, Sheehan replaced Arburr and immediately dropped in | a counter to put New Britain ahead for the first time at the ten-minute mark, From then on. Sloman and Zakzewski scored at will and New Britain rode on to an casy victory. New Britain Zakzewski, rf .. Restelli, rf . Rfloman, If Donoghue ¢ . Arburr, rz .

LOUGHRAN AGAIN iLight Heavyweight Cbampion BOAER HELD AS OPPONENT DIES Eddie Cartwright of Portland, Ore., Expires After Kayo | Seattle, Feb. 6 UM—Cecil Geysel, 21 year old welterweight boxer of Seattle, was held today pending an inquest into the death of Eddie Cartwright, negro welterweight of Portland, Ore., who died a few minutes after having been knocked out by Geytel last night. The knockout blow did not cause the deat™: of the veteran, an autopsy showed. It was the last of a battery of punches to the jaw from the gloves of Geysel. A lhemorrhage, resulting from a rupture of arteries at the base of the brain when Cartwright's head strock the canvas, caused his death, Cor- oner William J. Jones reported. The examination also revealed a diseased heart, which, consulting physicians said, might have caused This death from any form of over- exertion, His condition was such that it could not have been discovered with- out a blood test, explained J. T. Mor- iarity and A. Poska, boxing commis- sioners, who certified Cartwright for the fight. Normally, they do not re- quire blood tests, they said, and there was no occasion for calling for one in the case of the negro who had withstood the pummelling of many ring battles. Cartwright was knocked out in the third round. When his seconds were unable to revive him he was later, Cart- died & few minutes DEFEATS EMANUEL Has Edge in Ex_perionoe Los Awgeles, Feh. 6 (B — Tommy L.oughran, light heavyweight cham- pion and aspirant to the heavy- weight title, scored his second vic- tory over Armand Emanuel last night ard whatever hopes the fight- ing law student may have held to eccupy the throne vacated by Gene Tunney aguin faded. Emanuel, however, looked good ‘n jefeat. As in their first battle n New York scveral months ago, the ision was given to Loughran over the protest of many of the fans. T'hose at the ringside, however, were unanimous in backing up the ver- dict of Referce Abe Ross. Loughran's greater experience counted in the lonz run. They Tought at a gait at which only men with the speed and skill that Loughran and Emanuel possess can stand. Upsct in the seventh by a hard left hook on the point of the jaw, und on the short end in the eighth, | Loughran staged a furious finish in the remaining two rounds. Climaxing a r1ound that to all ap- pearané:s was his, Kmanuel hooked a left to Loughran's jaw in the sev- enth that sent the champion to the | mat. Loughran was up without a count, however, and there was fur- ious mixup at the bell. The Eman- uel left, missing fire through most of the early sessions, was in constant action in the ecighth, landing to Loughran's head and body with suf- ficient regularity to give him the round. Loughran's pace in the ninth was terrific and he gained a wide margin with a vicious attack of left land right hands to head and body. He carricd the same pace into the tenth, outscoring the westerner at cvery turn, Loughran entered the fight with a slight weight advantage. scaling {182 3-4 pounds to Emanucl's 180, |toth well above the light heavy- | weight limit.

Taking European opponents over | the hurdles with some difficulty in yesterday's matches, Welker Coch- ran of Hollywood and Young J}Ikfli Schacfer of Chicago forced their way into a triple deadlock with Xin- | rey Matsuyama for the pace setting | position. Iach has won one match and lost none. Down in the cellar are the three Kuropean atars— Idouard Horemans of Belgium, the defending champlon: Felix Grange ¢ Irance and Eric Hagenlacher of crmany. Matsuyama started the debacle by match of the tournament on Mon- oy pigat; Coctran had a 40 3 trlumph over Hagenlacher yesterday ufternoon and Schaefer made it unanimous by coming from behind to whip Grange, 400 to 305, last night. Grange, ranked with Matsuyama s a “dark horse” in the tourney, gave Young Jake a terrific struggle all the way but could not match The Frenchman, running 118 in his 15th inning, had his American val trailing 292 to 257, but Schae- fer gathered a fine cluster of 135 In his 16th inning and ran out the match with an unfinished run of eight on his 17th turn at the table. Although Cochran had nursed totalled 158 against Hagenlacher in the afternoon, Schacfer's cluster of 135 represented the finest exhibition of billiards the tournament has so far seen. The lean and dark Chi- cagoan had the balls under perfect cpntrol, rolling up many of his points within an area that a hat could have covered. All six contestants having appear- ed at the championship table, glance over the records reveals that Matsuyama has compiled the best match average to date. He averaged 25 points per inning against Hore- mans. Schaefer's average last night| was 23 9-17. Matsuyama will meet Grange fn this afternoon's match; tonight Horemans plays Cochran. for third place, with one victory and one reverse in two league games.

Last year the New Haveners who had previously defeated New Britain at New Haven came here for the scee ond of the home and home series, c first half score was 19 to § :» favor of New Haven but through a % spirited rally New Britain overcams the lead and won 28 to 27 in the final minute, In bascball New Haven had won cight successive games in ecight starts and New Britain had net scored a single victory when the two teams met last spring. Pitcher Joe Potts was having a great day and he led the New Britain team to a victory. Last fall Hillhouse was a decided favorite to cop in football but when the game was over the Elm City fans considered the tea lucky to finish in a 7 to 7 tie. The Red and Gold team was within a yard of the goal line when the final whistle was sounded. 4 Fans who follow tha Red and Gold team are pulling for the quin. tet to again stage a surprise and defeat the favorites. Those who have been making a close study of the team feel it is asking too much to figure that the newly-organized New Britain team will be able teo hold the heavier and more experi- ' enced Blue and White outfit of the Elm City, The Stanley Works team defeated the High school outfit in a practice game at the Boys' club last night, The game was fairly close and the final score separated the teams by approximately four points, SCHEDULE IS DELAYED Controversy Over Sunday Rassball Prevents Adoption of List of Games, New Yorl;, Feb. 6 —The contro- versy over Sunday baseball in Bos- ton has delayed adoption of the Na= tional league's schedule for 1929.
