Spéaking of Sports Lecal fans are certainly sticking oehind the New Britain basketball team in spite of its numerous re- verses. At least 250 rooters were present at the New Britain-Meriden Jattle last evening. The game was staged on the small Yoor in the city hall auditorium and a2 usual fouls were committed right and left, Coyle called 14 fouls on New Britain and five on Meriden. His decisions against the locals proved heartbreaking at times. Zak- zewski lost baskets for slleged w: ing at points when they were badly needed. At one time Zak started to dribble and Lingner almost broke the local center's arm by hacking him, Zak continued to dribble and was called for charging. In the first half Meriden players had but to toss the hall at the bas- ket in order to acore. Every mem- ber of the Endee team chipped in with at least one long basket. New Britain failed to get going in the first half but clicked strongly in the final period and outplayed the Fndees. Had Arburr and Leary been favored by the goddess of luck on their long shots, the tale would have heen different. Three times these men put the ball square in the basket only to have it roll out. Cohen lived up to his reputation and brought the crowd to its feet with sensational baskets. Cohen dropped them in long continually, but his one handed heaves from the side court were wonderful. Rothenfeld managed to score five oaskets on Leary but many of them were questionable. The Meriden star traveled on at least three of them. Donoghue played fine game against Jerry Conway. These two men battled for every jump and Coyle experienced plenty of trouble in throwing up the ba'l at center. “Zcke” Chadys, former member of the Atlas basketball team, made his appearance in this city in a dif- ferent way last night when he sub- stituted for RiMy Coyle as referee im the Industrial league gomcs played at the Stanley Arena. These were the worst played tames this scason. Fafnir Bearing went for 23 minutes without scoring a field goal and Landers went for .16 minutes without scoring s two- vointer. P. & F. Corbin tried out a new defense, a zone arrangement, and it worked perfectly. It is one of the few teams around this section that bas adopted this style of play.

The Vancouver fller, double sprint winner at the Olympics, had beat- en his rivals from below the border at 40, 50 and 60 yards in Boston, Newark and New York before he ac- complished the same thing at 45 yards in the annual Meadowbrook games in Philadelphia last night. Williams' list of victims during nis brief but meteroic American inva- sion includes such stars as Karl Wildermuth, of Georgetown; Jimmy Daly of Holy Cross, Jimmy Quinn former Holy Croas flas’: now com- peting for the New York A. C, and Chet Bowman and Jimmy Pappas of the Newark A. C. The Canadian express flashed down the straightaway in 4 9-10 seconds to take his heat of the 45 yard special last night and beat Bowman and Alf ‘Bates of Penn State In the process. In the final the Canadian showed the way by inches to Wildermuth, Pappas and Bowman in § 1-10 sec- Hincheliffe Greman . Hemiy .

Welker Cochran of Hollywood and Youny | Jake Schacfer of Chicago clash to-| night in the final match of the: Round Robin tournament at the Level club with the championship going to the winner. Schaefer eliminated the last of the four foreign entrants when he de-| feated Kinrey Matsuyama 400 to 331 yesterday afternoon. It was the scc ond reverse for the game little Jap- anese who won his first three matches in brilliant style. His other defeat was at Cochran’s hands in a gruelling battle Monday night. v His triumph over Matsuyama ele- vated Schaefer into a tle with Cochran for the lead. Each has won three matches in four starts. Defeating Eric Hagenlacher of Germany 400 to 315 in 20 innings last night, Horemans concluded his tournament record with three vie- in a tie for third place with Mat- suyama. Both automatically will go into a tie for second place with the loser of tonight's match. Hagenlacher winds up in fourth | starts. Felix Grange of France is the celidr holder with five successive re- ! verses. Cochran and Schaefer both have| been erratic performers in this tournament and their battle tonight looks like a toss-up. Cochran's one defeat was by Horemans. Hagen- lacher upact Schaefer, ! Incidentally Schaefer almost pass- ed out of the tournament yesterday when Matsuyama led him 282 to 132 at the end of 10 innings. Schae- fer at that time was giving one of the worst exhibitions he ever has been guilty of in championship com- | petition while Matsuyama, cool and steady, looked like a certaln winner. In the 11th inning the Chicago star found himself, got the balls to. and Sloman. Cohen crashed through | fact that they have not been playing ! | many games this ithe half and Meriden enjoyed a 10 much attention. On the other hand gcther and ran 182 to take a lead he never thereafter relinquisheq. leaving Matsuyama in bad position at all times, 8chaefer finally ran out the match with an unfinished clus- ter of 62 in the 18th inning. Despite his defeats by the two vouthful American masters, both | former holders of the 18.2 bailkline title, Matsuyama was the sensation of the tournament. He had not won a match in the 1927 tournament at | Washington and his first three vic- | tories over Horemans, Grange and Hagenlacher, made him the senti- mental favorite to capture the vy ! The Hagenlacher-Horemans match ! last night came as an anti-climax for it had ne effect on the cham- pionship itself.

Dropping in sensational shots from all corners of the floor, the Meriden Endee Basketball team scored a 35 to 30 win over the New Britain five at the City Han ludl-‘ torium in Meriden last evening be- fore a small but enthusiastic crowd. The Meriden team ran up a large! lead in the first half and although | New Britain came back strong in the final period to outscore and outplay the Endee team, Meriden's early lead was too much for. the locals to overcome. Once again New Britain was the victim of questionable officiating by Coyle. The Wa'lingford official was the cause of considerable trouble in weeks ago and his decisions last eve- ning had the New Britain fans in an uproar. ! With the revamped lineup of the | locals failing to click in the first| half and alded by looping long shots by Rothenfeld und Colien, 2he Meri- den crew took an early lead and were in the lead at half time by @ 20 to 12 score. New Britain came back #trong in the second half and through the medium of fine pass- work and deadly shooting, outpluyed and outscored the Endees. Only the superb work of the sensational Co- hen in the final minutes of the game kept Meriden on top. Cohen's baskets were all hair- ralsers and brought the crowd to ts | feet with a roar. Whenever the lo- | cals would come within atriking | point of the Indees, Cohen would | crash through with a much-needed basket. The Jewish star made three | one-handed shots from the side- court while travelling at full speed. | Rothenfeld also had a big night and | dropped in five baskets from the | center of thc floor that the best guard in the game could not have prevented. Sloman and Zakzewski bore the brunt of the oifensive work of the locals and were well alded by “Hank"” Arburr. The former Burritt fensive game. continued his great | work in the backcourt on the de- fense and held his man without a | the floor. Arburr had | Cook literally tled up in a knot and | the Meriden forward received few opportunities to pop at the basket. “Jiggs” Donoghue and Conway | staged an individual battle at center | honors being about even. “Tom" Leary had the cxperience of | being banned from the game on | fouls, the first time | he has left a game on fouls since joining the New Britain, team. Ac- cording to Leary it is so long since he was banished from a game on fouls that he cannot remember lhe] date. | In all, New Britain showed a great improvement and fans will be | treated to a great battle when the two teams clash at the Stanley| Arena Saturday evening. Those who witnessed the battle last evening from this city expressed the opinion | that the local team would be on lop‘ after Saturday’s game. | Sloman opened the scoring 20 seconds after the start of the game by sinking a basket. Cohen tied up | the count on a basket from mid- court. Cook dropped two fould points thro the nets to give Meriden the lead at the three minute mark. Here the Endec team began to swish th cords regularly from the center of | the floor and soon had an 11 to & leud. New Britain started to come | Food Guard, Thursday. |all but one on kayoes. | local hoopsters of well known ability. back strong and brought the score up to 15-10 on shots by Zakzewski for baskets in the final minutes of to 12 lead at the rest period. | Sloman opened the second half! with a basket but Cohen duplicated his feat.

Feb. 134—The Frankie Konchina-Joe Zelinsky, riddle weight scrap tops the card to be staged at the I'oot Guard armory Thursday night by the Ed Hurley Boxing club, and, therefore, holds chief interest for the loc#l fans, but there are two houts on the under- card that claim mere than the or- dinary share of interest. They are the “Kewpie" lLedoux- Eddie Reed and the Nick Christy Jimmy Garcia houts. Ledoux and Reed, two of the most uggressive little fcllows cver to step into a Hartford ring, fought hcre two weeks ago and the hout was # elam-bang affair all the way. Reed’s nimble footwork made l.edoux miss hadly in the first round the second round. l.edoux hrgan ta get the range and looked better, Then came the knockdown ia the third when Reed, over-anxious for a knockout, spent his strength. The fourth found Ledoux coming rtrong- Iy and another round or two might have meant the disaster of a knock- out for Reed. FEddie is gearcd to four-rounders and fecls sure he will repeat his victory while i.edoux sends down word from the Paper City that he will knock out ‘he Hartford boy. Nick Christy, who has become one of the sensations of the moment in state ring circles since turning pro. has never faced as good a hoy as Jimmy Garcia, the Worcester featherweight, whom he fights at Garcia re- cently wag kayoed by Bat Battalino but Christy is yet far short of Bat's class. The Bristol hoy hes great promise, however; he has von everyone one of his pro fights and There are several other bouts on the card. CELTICS VS.
