The South church basketball team captured the championship of the County Y. M. C. A. league, southern section, last night when it overcame the Plainville “Y" quintet by 37-27 at the Hartford Y. M. C. A. in a game which broke the tie for first place which existed at the end of the regular schedule. The play-off was also the deciding game in the series between the two rival teams, as each had previously defeated the other once, so that New Britain's right to the title is now clear. The Jocal five will now meet the Broad Brook A. A., winners of the north- ern section, for the county title. New Britain did its best work in the first half. After Caulfield had given Plainville a start by taking a nice pass for as nice a shot, Bell, put New Britain in the game with a field goal and Parker sent it ahcad with a long shot. Then, was the passwork, shooting. and defense working almost perfectly —and | Morey, Bell and Parker forming the | points of a staunch attack, the church moved out to 26-6 at quarter time and 29-16 at the half. Plain- ville had switched its line-up, send- ing Caulfield to center and putting in Nelson, but this brought no bet- ter results during the early periods. In the second half the losers made further changes to strengthen their defense, and during the entire third quarter the New Britain team went scorcless, while Plainville crept up at 29-21 on two baskets by Caulfield and Miller's foul. Another Caulfield goal made things look bad early in the fourth session, but Wessels finally broke the long sterile period with a basket and from then on the winners held their own in spite of the continued brilliant shooting of the keen-eyed Caulfield. Bell and Morey, particularly In the first half, dribbled around their men with ease and scored at fre- quent intervals, Bell leading his team's attack with 10 points. Wes- sels usually got the tap, and his two baskets near the end saved New Britain at a critical periol. The four men who took turns at the guard positions held the Plainville forwards to a total of four baskets, three by Miller, and the losers had to rely on the distance tosses of Caulfield for their points. The losing center proved adept at this and kept his team in the running Ly a series of breath taking shots in the second half. The Bchwab-Frost defense combination worked well for Plain- ville in the last periods. The sum- mary: N. B. South Church Fld. FlL. Bell, rf .. . Morey, It . . Wessels, ¢ .

GIRL BASKETBALL STAR IS STILL UNCONSCIOUS Nell Fincher Struck the Back of Her Head on Floor in Game Friday. Charlotte, N. C., Feb. 14 (@ — Miss Nell Fincher, 17 year old De- rita High school basketball captain, still remained in a state of coma to- day after more than 130 hours of unconsciousness. She fell while play. ing basketball last Friday, struck the back of her head on the floor and since that time has never re- gained consciousness. Physicians say st a chance to recover and yesterday declared her condition was “somewhat im- proved.” Those who were in the gym- nasium at the time she fell said the ball was being thrown up at cen- ter. that Miss Fincher jumped and lost her halance When the coach and players found they could not rouse her, she was taken immediately to a hospital.

WGRAW TONIGHT Meriden Battler Picked as Favor- jte Over Detroiter Tonight's Lineup Main bout—Kid Kaplan, Meriden, vs. Phil McGraw, Detroit, 10:rounds, 1356 pounds. Semi-final—Eddie Lord, Water- bury, vs. Tony DiPalma, New Haven, 8 rounds, 130 pounds. Preliminaries—Pete Lucci, Clin- ton, Mass., vs. Trish Hughey Devlin, New London, 8 rounds, 120 pounds. Marvin Schecter, New York, w Rocky Knight, Detroit, 6 round: heavyweight class. Frankie Mari New Haven, vs. Joey Dugan, New London, 4 rounds, 128 pounds. Place—S8tate armory, Ilield street, Waterbury. All headlights will be turned to- wards Waterbury tonight where Kid Kaplan of Meriden and Phil McGraw of Detroit lock bumpers in the scason's best indoor fight attrac- Schmeling, whose victories have been the sensation of the last few weeks, was ordered to retain Bulow, by the New York State Boxing com- mission, He has been trying to dis- | pose of his fellow countryman in favor of Joe Jacobs, American man- ager, who now owns a part interest in his contract. The commission upheld its former resolution recognizing Bulow as® Schmeling’s manager and by that ruling no contract for Schmeling will be recognized in New York state unless it bears Bulow’s signature. Following the ruling of the com- mission Schmeling issued a lengthy statement, the outstanding fecature | of which was the concluding para- graph which read: “I do not hesitate to declare that 1 would rather hang up my gloves for the duration of my German con- tract which is eighteen months froin now—instead of fighting under his direction. It he can neglect the contract—so can 1.” In the statement Schmeling at- tacked Bulow on the grounds that he was incompetent and not fitted to handle his affairs. He denied claims of Bulow that he had con- tributed to the support of Schmel- ing's family, with the exception of “a few marks,” und he denied that Bulow had “discovered™ him. Credit for his discovery belongs to one Herr Willie Fuchs, Max sald, and he further charged thav ‘ulow “stole” him from Fuchs u:.cr learn- ing that Schmeling had signed a contract with the former manager ( while still a minor. Schmeling and Jacobs sall Satur- day for Germany where the heavy- weight plans to visit for two months. It is understood that an effort will be made to have the German courts void the existing contract with Bu- low in which case Schmeling says he would name Jacobs as his direc- tor. Another way in which the tangle may be straightened is the rossi- bility that Jeremiah O'Leary, Bu- low's lawyer, and Bamuel Witte, at- torney for Jacobs, voluntarily reach a working agreement. The commis- | sion gave them authority to do this and the two are to report their pro- gress in two weeks. Schmeling, preparing for his re- turn trip to Germany, verbally reit- erated his determination not to fight under Bulow's management and it 18 improbable that the matter will be cleared before his return from Europe in May. In order to prevent another such | tangle the commission yesterday ruled that no foreign manager com. ing to this country with a foreign boxer can make any agreement with an American boxer without first submitting the agreement to the commission, nor can any foreign fighter coming to this country with a foreign maniger make any agree- ment with an American manager without the commission's consent, This situation arose when Bulow gave away a 10 per cent interest to Charl Rose, an American man- | ager. Rose later parted with .om. | of his interest and Jacobs succeeded in acquiring 7% per cent. I Advance Guard of Club Is Bound | puzzle the Waterburian. tion. They are billed for ten rounds at the State Armory, Field street, KID KAPLAN and if the bout develops into the slugfest that Matchmaker Tony Pa- olillo confidently belleves it will be, then it will be a riot. Kaplan is the pick of the fans to win and Meriden wouldn't object if it is as decisive as a Kockout. In fact Trainer “Dinny” McMahon in- timates that there is such a possi- bility. Meriden apaprently has re- sumed its old enthusiasm for the Kid, it advance sales talk and they generally do. A big mob of Meri- denites is cxpected at ringside, not to forget other portions of the state. Victory for Kaplan is important as he wants “shots” that will be his for future dates in the state. Al- ready whispers are abroad of a re- turn match with Billy Wallace of | Cleveland and a contest with Jackie Pilkington. Becond to the main attraction will | be the semi-final number of eight rounds featuring Eddie Lord of Wa terbury and Tony DiPalma of New | Haven, two of the state’s best junior | lightweights. Lord will have the edge on DiPalma in cleverness and experience but the New Haven boy has & southpaw stance that may Lord, how- ever, rates to win.

WANCHESTER WINS FRON LOCAL TEAW South Church Juniors Unable to Overcome Handicaps Bowing to & much taller and heavier team, the South Church Juniors lost a 50-28 decision to the Manchester Freshmen in the semi- final$of the County "Y' Junior bas- ketball tournament in Jewell Hall, Hartford, yesterday afternoon. The winners used their greater size to| good advantage and scored many follow-ups while the smaller New Britain boys danced helplesaly around them. The Manchester team also profited from the roughness of the game, which soon tired the local church youngsters. Largely due to Joseph's work, the Hardware City quintet led during the first quarter and was only five points behind at 27-22 when the A flurry tied the score early in the third session, but then Britain completely collapsed and the result of the game was a Manchester parade. Lerch, winners' center, ctarred with 18 points, while Lendrowski and Squatrito also made plenty of points, The last-named played a charging game and was finally ejected for a furious fistic attack upon Joseph. Joseph led the New Britain attack, with Merza going well and Anderson playing well on the defense in spite of a hand laid | open when he was thrown against | a wall.
