Spéaking of Sports After six consecutive defeats, New Britain is again enjoying the sweets of a basketball victory. The Man- chester Recs found the locals too fast for them. The new combination started by Manager Lanpher worked to perfec- tion and it appears that two months of experiments have at last pro- duced results, “Jiggs" Donoghue at center show- ed why he is considered the peer of pivot, men in Connecticut and Mascachusetts. He took practically cvery jump from Norris and gave the forwards an opportunity to start their plays. Hs acts as & pivot man for New Britain plays under the backet and this gives Sloman a bet- ter opportunity to score. Al had been acting in this capacity until last evening. Donoghue has a cool and steady way of playing that has a wonderful effect on the rest of the team and helps to keep it balanced when the fight is the hottest. ‘“Jiggs” and New Britain fans will certainly be triends. Zakzewski fitted in at forward with Sloman just like a glove. Zak proved to be fast on coming in to take the tap from Donoghue and this proved to be a deciding factor in New Britain's win. In & few games. the combination of Sloman and Kakzewski should become as famous as the Malcolm-Feldman combination. Lanpher is fortunate in having three wonderful guards, Sheehan, Arburr and Leary are all first class basketecrs. The combination of Leary and Arburr was wonderful to | watch last cvening. Leary was strong as usual on the defense while Ar- burr. bosides playing a strong de- fensive game, came up the floor to mcore points at vital moments. Sheehan also avorked well with Leary in the final ten minutes. Arburr’s ability to intercept pass- es is attracting great attention. When he is not intercepting passes, “Hank" is taking the ball out of his opponent’s hands and passing it to his teammates for scores. The Manchester crew is coming along fast and will certainly be heard from later in the season. The team dropped in 12 out of 16 foul shots Lack of expericnce was given in cortain quarters as the reason for the defeat of the Manchester Recs last night by the New Rritain bas- Ketball team. 1t that is the alibl of- fered, then a player must play about 100 years hefore he gains ex- perience. There isn't anything that can be £2id against the experience of Nor- vis, Madded or Stavnitsky on the Munchester team. They have bheen ing big-time baskethall for the pust seven or eight years and pen- haps longer. McCann is also a vet- erin of several years' experience. Tostead of experience, the corre- apondent should have said that New Tiritain found itself and proved to be too fast for the Silk Towners. Ronald Cioni who s the Van Cortland Olympia Skating Rink in New York city where the New Britain Ited Wings play to- night. is & former sewmi-pro polo star, He played on the Indiana team that faced Pete Welch's New Red- ford crew for the amateur champ- fonship of the world in 1818, Cioni for a number of years was regarded as the champlon fancy roller skater of the world and he still rates the title although there is no active competition in that line now. He is known as the greatest performer in the world on roller shates. The New Britain Roller Hockey team is dctermined to overtake Al- Jany in the race for the American lLeague pennant this week.

This will give the local crew its full strength and the team should have a good week, New Britain fight fans who are planning to attend the RBattalino- Curry fight in Hartford tomorrow night. should telephone their orders in for tickets today. During the day, orders will ho taken at Food Guard hall while at night they will be re- celved at the Worcester Smoke shop. The Meriden dees play the Re- ssance Five of Harlem, N.

The ruling.must be strictly en- forced as the league was formed for the benefit of the public and it is! quite evident there are plenty of | hockey players who would like to play in the league but who are ap- parently too bashful to send in their names and get ansigied to one team or another, as they were repeatedly asked 10 do through the medium of the newsapapers. If the same man is chosen every time & shortage occurs and is allow- ed to play with more than one team, some other player is deprived of a chance to participate in the league. Only a very normal sum {s required from each player by his manager to be turned in to defray the expenses of the league such as lights, goal cages, etc. Belin lost a close and exciting game to the Sachems last night at Willow Drook swimming pool by a score of 2 to 0. This was the first of a series of games to be played at night under electric lights and it proved very successful. Tonight Ber- lin will make another attempt to break into the win column at the expense of the Spuds who are equal- ly determined to go into a tie for | 2nd place. The game will start at 8 o'clock and the public will be al- lowed to skate at the conclusion of the game.

AMERICANS BEAT BRUINS New York Hockey Team Proves That It Has the Indian Sign on Boston. Boston, Feb. 6 (UP)—Further evidence that the New York Ameri- cans have the Indian sign on the Boston Bruins was precented in the Boston Garden lust night, when 15,- visitors beat the Bruins for the third time this scason. The score wus 1 to 0. The Americans, the only team in the National league which Boston has been unable to defeat, com- bined a telling oftensive most extruordinary defense seen on local ico this weason to make an- other dent in the Bruins' sustained winning streak. Many times, purticularly in the last minute of play, Kddic Shore, George Owen and their playmates bombarded the New York goal with a barrage of hard, accurate shots | ¥ which normally would have spelled victory. Rut the masterly goal-tending of Roy Worters, lo considered the Bruins' nemesis, balked their every effort to acore.

PETE LNENEM WE SEE OU COME UP AND BANANAY Pt WASHINGTON TEAM LOOKS VERY GOOD Manager Walter Jobnson fo Have Plenty of Material New York, Feb. 6 (UP)—The Washington Senators have the mak- ¢ [Ings of a great baseball machine in the 32 players assembled for the 1929 campaign An outlay of something like $250.- 000 for new talent by Clark Griffith has placed plenty of material at the disposal of Walter Johnson in his return to major league baseball as manager of the Senators. One need not look much farther than the Benators for a club to give the Yankees a run for their money it this collection of high-priced tal- 2 [ent does not fall down. With “Old Barney” at the helm harmony, for one thing, s certain to reign once more in the ranks of the players who somehow lost their comradeship for Bucky Harris dur- ing last seasan, Becond base and the pitching staft reed bolatering. One of Johnson's biggest problems will be to find a second sacker to replace Harris, Six high-class minor league men have been brought up to try for the seq- ond base assignment. The most promising of these are John Stewart from Birmingham, Minter Hayes from Minneapolls and Charley Cook from Little Rock. Btewart appears to be the out- standing man with a record of §0 stolen bases In the Southern league last season and a batting average of announced, at year, at prices reductions in The new lower NEW LOWER PRICES 357, Judge at first, Ossie short and Buddy Myer at third base are slated for the other infield posts. The Senators gave five players to the Red Sox to get Myer. rated the best third haseman in the American league. Bluege, another star at the hot corner. will be shifted to short- stop. There is no more brilliant pitch- ing prospect among this season's crop of young players breaking into the majors than Ad Liska. Griffith paid Minneapolis $20,000 tor Liska but “the old fox” expects him to be worth ten times that much before the end of the season. Liska, only 22, won 20 gumes and lost but 4 last season. He 15 said to be anoth- er Carl Mays, with an underhand speed ball faster than the former Yankee star's. Liska has never mastered & curve ball, but he is try. ing to perfect one in training in his bnvkyurd at Dwight, Neb. Cantwell, who won 20 gamcs und ost 19 for ‘Baltimore, and Puul McCullough, who won 13 games and lost 16 for Toledo, are other pitch- ing_hopes. The Senators have no outficid worrles with Goose Goslin, the American league batting champion, 8am West, Emile Barnes and Edgar Rice available, to say nothing of cer Harris from Minneapolis and Melbern Simon from Birmingham. Harris, valued at $20,000 by Griffit} batted .327 and Simone, priced at $10,000, batted .310, CLOVERS BEAT BLUE RESERV The Clovers basketball team de- feuted the New Britain Blue Ite- serves at the Sacred Heart school gym last night.

Not only are these savings now passed on to the public in the form of much lower prices of all Dodge Brothers Senior models, but the cars themselves have been made still better. Examine the Dodge Brothers Senior in your most critical mood. Scrutinize each small detail. Be most exacting in your in- spection. For once you have subjected the Chrysler-built Dodge Brothers Senior to your most diligent and careful inspection you are certain to realize that never before has a car so large, so handsome and eo fine been available at so low a price.
