Speaking of Sports A controversy has arisen in Hart- ford over the question of whether ther has ever been a shuteut in bas- ketball. Saturday at the Boys® club in the Group B Intermediate League the Nutmegs blanked the Speedboys 33 to 0. There are several other cases on record. Al Lovegreen, former goal tender for the Bridgeport club in the American Roller HocRey League, has been signed by Bridgeport. He will take the of Bill Jette who Jias been fo to retire from the game becauss of an injured knee, Jette hag been unable to go through an entire game of late without hav- ing an old injury bother him. Lovegreen will play his first game with Providence in Providence Wed- nesday night and will appear with the Providence club in this city Thursday night. There is hardly a basketball fan in this city who wasn't behind Reteree Clyde Waters Saturday pight in his adfions against the members of the Hakoah team. At first he was adamant in his order that Topel leave the game but ~vhen prevailed upon by Manager Lanpher he consented to allow him to play again. The tactics employed by the vis ing team in this city are anything but admirable. Coming here to play as they do, under the officiating of & man who is not a “home town™ refcree, the visiting teams start with the first whistle to violate every rule known to basketball and at the same time to protest any fouls call- ed upon them. - So it was Saturday night when Topel and Briebe of the Hakoahs went aiter Waters for everything that he called. Waters warned them repeatedly that no one but the cap- tain of the team had the right to question him on fouls. They per- sisted and he called technical fouls on the visitors. This dido't stop them so he ordered Topel from the game. The supcrior attitude adopied by Yhese so-called great players, cer- tainly doesn't set well with anyone, ‘We hold no briet for any official ‘when that ofticial takes it upon him- zelf to bo domineering but as is usually the case, all of these visit- ing players are made of the same mold. They seem to adopt the at- titude that the referee should call fouls on the home club but none at all on them. The suggestion that® the local manager clip some money from the total of the guarantce paid the visit- ing clubs, is a good one and should be acted upon. This, more than anything clse, would prevent them from pulling the same tricks &s werc pulled here last Saturday night. It certainly took a great deal out of the game. Nat Holman was among the miss- ing Saturday night. The vistors brought in word that he was injured the night/before and was in a hos- pital. They claim that Nat is prob- ably through as a basketball player because ot the injury, Hé is to un- dergo X-rays this week. Tope! who substituted for Hol- man, proved to be a better player than Holman In the matter of shooting. Topel caged six out of eight baskcts from long distances on the court and really defeated New Britain himself. New Britain has two chances to make a comeback this week in the home and home series to be played with the Meriden Endees. 1f the locals win these two, it will put them back even with the Hristol Endees in the running for the state title. Manager Lanpher is puzzled deep- ly about the local team. There is something wrong in the quintet, he feels and he would like to know what it is. Almost everyone has a different opinion. We have ours and we think that the local team has forgotten how to pass the ball. It appears that most of the men on the #quad are playing too individually with some trying for points for themselves instead of for their team. We may be wrong in this diagnesis end again, we may be right. BOYS CIUB ARS WIN The Boys' Club All Stars defeated the “Y” All-Stars at the Y. M. C. A.

This is the second meeting of the two in.lcss than a month. Just a short time back they swapped vunches at the Arena and in a thrill- ing encounter Pilkington won out over the New Haven tornado. 1t wus a fair decision Referee Jack Watson handed down, but Pilking- puted the third man's verdict. Day did give Jackie a tough time of it, however, and it was his splen- did showing which swayed Match- maker Al Weili in signing the pair up for a return match. The bout tonight should be better than the other meeting for Day is in better shape and Pilkington has rid him- self of the bad cold which held him back to some extent. The opening bout, a four round affair between Red Garren, of Waterbury and Young Pepe, of New Haven, will go on at 8:30 sharp and tollowing on the heels of this curtain raiser is a card which cannot fail to produce real milling of which de- lights the ring worms. In the special semi-final bout, a main attraction in itself, Willie Hus- sey, of Bridgeport, twice conqueror of Day, will ge against Eddie El- kins, New York Hebrew whe broke into Connecticut on the last card at the Arena with a throe round knock- out of Irish Jimmy Kelly, of New York. FElkins packs a kayo punch in both mitts, being a converted left hander, and it looks like a stormy evening for the Bridgeport fat boy. Hymie Folens, a protege of Bahby Garcia and a vest pocket edition of the soldier boy in his palmier days, is down for the other eight round hout against Joe Currie, master box- er of New Haven, Red DeRosa, of Derby, who three weeks ago lost to Johnny Mack in a torrid foyr round session, will try again at six rounds. Red's backers are figuring the longer distance to be in his fawor, but Mack is getting heavy support from his mates in New Haven. SOUTH CHURCH JUNIORS WIN FIRST TOURNEY GAME Local Basketball Team Defeats Haz- ardvile Grammar School By 2-22 Score. The their opening game in the junior tournament of the Hartford County Y. M. C. A. Saturday afternoon, de- fcating the Hazardville Grammar school team by 32-22 at Jewell hall in the Hartford “Y" building. Haz- ardville began the scoring from the foul line and soon had four points in this manner, but Abie “Ace of Spddes” Joseph got under way and had put the locals in front by 12-4 by quarter-time. Each team was held to two points in the second per- fod. 1In the third the scoring grew more frequent, as Hattings, with three personals, had to let his man loose and the man began to score. Still, New Britain increased its lead to ten points during this session and held this advantage all the way to the end. Joseph was the star of the game, getting ten baskets and a foul. Guard after guard was sent to hold him, but Abie dribbled around and past them all and kept New Britain in the van. Hattings and Havlick caged some nice shots. Anderson covered his man perfectly and held him without a score, while Merza also did a good defensive job. Fir- tion was the whole works for Haz- ardville. The Broad Brook Grammar school defeated the Southington Boy Scouls and the Manchester Kreshmen wal- loped the West Hartford Auburns in the other first-round games. New Britain will meet the husky Man- chester team in the semi-finals on Wednesday afternoen at 5 o'clock. Saturday’s sugimary: South Church Juniors Fld. ¥l 101 Tt 21 o 3 Joseph, 1t ..

Penner of Portland, a lumberjack, came here for the weck-end ready for company and a good time after lonely weeks in the Maine woods. He made one mistake, however. He wore his lumber jacket and a policeman promptly teok him into custody asa suspect in the murder at Portland two wecks ago of Mrs. Pauline Zim- merman, Penner didn’t have a friend in town who could identify him and his own word failed to convince half a dozen officers that he didn't look just like the man Portland police were searching for. He stayed in jail until late today when officers from his home ° city arrived took one glancerat him and decided in his faver. Penner gave a little speech abeut Beston police and teok the first train back to Portland, his week-end over.

Thomas' seminary team was the winner at the West Middle gymnasium in Hartford Sat- urday afternoon. 30 to 22. The score was tied twice in the first quarter but St. Thomas broke the tie and 'had a 6 to 4 lead at the end of: thit period. The score was also tied twice in the second quar- ter, but in the last few minutes the Hartford team pulled away to a 12 to 7 Jead. The five point advantage was held by St. Thomas in the third period despite a determined threat made by the Franklin Square boys. Coach Cassidy's team played hard and was able to come within three points of a tie on a fleld goal by Lipman. Shea made a foul goal and St. Thomas was in the lead 22 to 18 within six minutes of the end. In the final minutes of the game the Capital City quintet forged ahead. Nate Lipman played the greatest game of his career on both the of- fense and defense. To him was as- signed the task of guarding Law, leading scorer in the achools of greater Hartford. Laws was tied up like & knot and for the first time this year he had to be taken from the lineup. Three other men went into his position and he returned | once. Lipman scored mnine points. Billy Ross went in the game in place of acting Captain Miriliant early and finished the contest. He played a fine floor game and had & perfect afternoon on the foul line. When it was found that neither Ikowitz nor Schmarr could outjump Shea, Iloss went into center and did a good job there. St. Thomas’ guards came through when the for rds were not work- ing well. Captain Alanskas played a hard game and was going every minute. His early scores kept his team on top. Radjavicius had un- usual success in getting the ball off the backboard.
