Speakihg of Sports The success of the Fred S8aunderp Oenefit program was far greater than that expected by any of the pro- moters. Exactly $126 was realized after the bills were paid. It will be lurned over to Fred immediately. His many friends inthis city will be glad to hear of the successful turnout. Practically everybody took 4 part in making the event a suc- sess, It would be impossible 'to name il who contributed to the cause both financially and as workers. The ticket seller, ticket taker, refere, imer and scorer all worked free and many others did thelr bit. However, there are two who must Le given credit—Jim Havlick and his son AL Both of these men xed day and nmight and were re- sponsible in a good measure for the great advance sale of tickets. It was a great night for Fred sll around. His Corbin Screw team combined with Burritts and acored & victory, The regular Burritt team proved it was strong enough to hold the Communitles, but in their an- xiety to prove to Fred their willing- ness to heélp the two members of the Screw Shop tcam who are not Bure ritts joined the quintet last night. “Hank" Arburr, a member of the New Britain team and Joe Luke a fellow Screw Shop player took & leading part in the victory. Bryce L. Long, assistant secretary of the Y. M. C. A, and an official in the Industrial league, pald his ad. mission and worked as a timekeeper for both games. Following the ame the chief topic of conversation was the un- usual finish of the Burritt-Commuyn- ity game, Nobody denied that Referce Aron- son was acting within his rights in calling a technical foul on the Meri- den team for using abusive languags to hinm, but some thought it might have been better if he did not call the foul at that time when the teams were tied and when they were at a high pitch of excitement. As a result, Darrow made the foul shot good and New Britain won by one point, Some think New Britain won un- der a cloud but consideration is en the fact that it played as gool as Meriden up until this time, The Burritts outscored their opponents in ticld goals 11 to 9. Referce Aronson called 10 foul on New Britaln-and cight on M ien. He also called three technical fouls on the Meriden team for un- complimentary expressions during the contest, . The Buritts were very poor on foul shots, making only two out of ninc.

The colored champions swamped the Hub team. This was the first game of basketball played in Boston in about five years. The members of ¢he South church basketball team are not superstiti- ous. Playing on the 13th of the month, they stepped out last night and scored their 13th victory of the scason, It was also Ash Wednes. day, but it was Plainville’s hopes that were reduced to ashes, for the locals won the league playoff and will meet Broad Brook for the right to cnter the state tournament, WITH THE BOWLERS TRATERNITY ALLEYS ODD FELLOWS' LEAGUE H.

HORNSBY BIG AID 70 CHICAGD CUBS Rajab's Bat May Be Deciding Factor in Winning Peanant New " York, Feb. 14 (UP)— Rogers Hornsby's bat may mean & pennant for the Chicage Cubs. Few changes—the acquisition of Hornsby, a pessible shift & doubtful quantity—ha: made in the Cubs, but the presence alone of the champion batsman ef the National League may spell the difference between third and first place from 1928 to 1929. Hornsby, who cost Willlam Wrig- ley almost a half million in cash and players, is caiculated not enly to add punch to the Cubs' attack but to exert u steadying influence over Woody English which will cause the young shortstop to develop into a star of the first magnitude. Hornsby, who is 33, batted .387 as manager of the Boston Rraves last season. With the worries of & manager off his shoulders, Hornsby inly should play as well the coming season as he did last. Those who expect Hornsby to fall into his evil ways zgain were sur. prised to learn recently that he had signed a pledge with President Wil- liam Veeck to refrain from betting on the races or any other gambling games during the life of his three year contract with the Cubs. The only contemplated shift in the remainder of the lincup is to try Clarence Blair and Danny Taylor at third base along with Clyde Beck. Taylor, who also plays the outfield, batted .374 for Memphis and has a repytation as a daring base runner. Blair batted .294 for Little Rock. Charley Grimm at first base #nd English at shortstop will complete the infield. The only other infield- er on the roster is Norman Mec- Millan, who was a utllity man last season. The Cubs have the same group of outfielders as last season. Stephensen in left, Wilson in center aud Cuyler in right will form the regular trio, with Heathcote in a reserve role. Taylor may be used in the outfield it fails to win a berth at thir bass. Five new pitchers are on the squad. Qutstanding among them s Mike Cvengros, southpaw who. has had tryouts with Washington and the White Sox. Cvengros, who won 21 games and lost 8 for Wichita Falls, is counted on to replace Percy Jones, shipped to the Braves in the Hornsby deal The other new pitchers are Clyde Duy. who won 17 games and lost 18 for Omaha; Roy Hansen, who won 12 games and lost 17 for Elmira, N. Y.; Berlyn Horne, who won 1§ games and lost 17 for Jersey City; and Eddie Lautenbacher, who wen 10 games and lost 5 for Reading. Hal Carlson, who was ill most of st season, hopes to return in good shape and take his regular turn along with Sheriff Blake, Guy Bush, Charley Root, Art Nehf and Percy Malone. Henry Grampp and Edgar Holley, who were with the Cubs scason, may develop into regula Gabby Hartnett and Mike Gon- zales will again take care of the catching. Tom Angley, who batted .328 for Atlanta, and Bob Grace, who batted .336 for Little Itock, will be given tryouts as catchers. The Cubs’ tentative squad lows Catchers — Hartnett, Angley or Grace.

Feb, 14 ® — EN Kirk Price, art connoisseur and pa- tron, is the winner of the eighth Philadelphia award, given annually to the individual who. in the opinion of the trustees, hus rendered the city the greatest service during the preceding year. The award, consisting of a check for $10,000, a gold medal and & scroll outlining the achievement which merited the prize, was made to Mr. Price last night at a meeting of the Philadelphia Forum. It was established in 1921 by Edward W. Bok. who created a fund of $200,- 000 for the purpose. In presenting the prize, former United States Senator George ‘Vhare ton Pepper. chairman of the trus. tees of the award, recited Mr Price’s, services to the community as vice president of the Fairmount park commission, as & member of the art jury, a trustee of the Penn. sylvania Academy of Fine Arts, president of the Pennsylvania Mu. seum and School of Industrisl Art, and as chairman of the bullding committee of the new Philadelphia Museum of Art. ‘ As most notable of all his efforts, Mr. Pepper emphasised the long la- bor he devoted to the realization of his dream for an art museum in Fairmount park at the head of the parkwuy, Of vast size and enormous cost, the new museuiu has been declared by experts as unrivaled in its ex- cellence of lighting, wall back- grounds and arrangement of exhibi. tion rooms. It has been extolled as setting new standards for museum authorities in its plan of providing for display of paintings. sculptures, fabrics, porcelains, metal work and furniture of each particular land and period in an authentic interior, brought from old-time edifices and reinstalled in the muscum.

New York, Feb. 1¢ UP—A pair of California welterweights will clash in the 10-round final of the weekly | Madison Square Garden show to- morrow night. They are Jackie Flelds, sensational youngster from Los Angeles, and Baby Joe Gans of the ssme city. Fields, who rose to fame when he conquered Young Jack Thompson on the coast a short time after Thompeon had scored a knockout over the champion, Joe Dundee, in a non-title bout at Chicago, will be making his eastern debut. Although New York fans have had no chance to judge his ability first hand, hia record in the west is a fine one, and has been installed favorite by the wagering class. Gans has been fighting in the east since last summer, haking & record that promised much for the future but never has progressed be. yond the promising stage. The negro has won consistently and at times impressively, but his opposition has not been drawn from among the front rank of the welter contenders. Tomorrow night's battle is expected, among other things, to show wheth- er Gans really belongs near the top or whether lack of class in his op- ponents is responsible for his record.

The fate of the entire New Britain cause was delivered into the hands of “Hammy” Darrow and he came through with a foul shot and won the game for the Burritts 24 to 33 within seconds of the final whistle. This was part of the benefit contest staged for Fred Saunders. At the time of the ‘“untimely” words the score was tied at 23-all in & most thrilling battle. Both teams are leaders in the race for the state Junior court title and as a result of the victory the Burritts are tied at one-all in wins and loses with the Community team. A loud protest followed Referee Aronson’s decision and immediately members of the Meriden team, root- ers and managers, crowded about him demanding that he retract his decision. According to information the referee ruled that Meriden had touched the ball before it had gohe outside and he gave it to New Brit- ain. Immediately after he announce ed his decision four Meriden play- ers used objectional language and he called a technical foul. When one player followed with a second remark he called two technical fouls but after the group had gone Inte & huddle with the referce and others he changed his decision and made it one foul. After Darrow made the try good the New Britain team held the ball a8 much as possible and the game finally ended with the Burritt team on top. The contest was exciting from the atart. Andy Yakubowicz popped one in from the left side of the court, seconds after the game started but after four minutes and a half of play Shulga tied the score at 2-all. A minute later Meriden went into the lead but in less than two minutes it reverted back to New Britain when Joe Luty made a short shot, On two perfect passes from “Hammy" Dar- row, Yakubowicz scered twice and with points scored by Havlick New Britain had a 12 t7 3§ lead. Just before the end of the quarter Shulga made it 12 to 6. ‘ The regular Bur- ritt team of Luty, center; Havlick and Yakubowicz, forwards, and Dar- row and Carlson, guards, played during this period. At the atart of the second quarter Manager Saunders sent in “Hank” Arburr and Joe Luke at guard and center of the Corbin Screw team.

This lineup did not work so well as that which started the game. The Thiesen brothers, Meriden guards, began to find the basket and just before the half ended the Silver City outfit took the lead 14 to 13, but Joe Luke sank a long shot just a split second before the half ended and New Britain had a one-point lead, 15 to 14. Second Half Meriden took the lead 16 to 15 exactly a minute after the second haif opened and on more points by the Thiesen brothers the score was 19 to 15 at the end of this period. New Britain failed to make a point during this time. The Hardware City quintet seem- ed to be fighting a losing battle in the final quarter. At last Arburr scored a field goal and New Britain was within two points of a tie. Joe Luke made the field goal which would have tied the scqre but he was caught traveling and there was “no goal.” Kocin came down the right side of the court and made a pretty shot and the Burritt team was four points in the rear. Meriden rooters begged for a other field goal which would have put the game on ice. The Communi- ty outfit tried. The ball would bound off the back board and just as some Community player would start to follow up *“‘Hank” Arburr would get his hands in the way and & jump ball would be called. Arburr tossed a short goal over his head and New Britain came to life as the local team was within two points of a tie. With three min. utes and 30 seconds to go Darrow took a pass from Gill and acored the tying points at 21 all. J. Thiesen slipped through and caged a fleld goal. There was only one minute and 40 seconds to go. Exactly 10 seconds later Joe Luty took & pass and dropped in a two. pointer which tied the score again. A terrible scramble followed. The Burritts made desperate efforts to hold the ball, but the Meriden players closed in on them and sev- eral jumped balls were called. New Britain gained possession of the ball during the greater part of this time due to the fact that Meriden was threwing the ball outside on wild passes. Matters came to a climax over near the right side of the court when the ball rolied out and the referee gave it to New Britain. The Communities had won 12 games in a row until it met the Middletown Red Wings last Satur- day and lost. The loss to the Bur- ritts was the second in succession.
