speaking of Sports The New Britain basketball team starting tomorrow night, faces a tough schedule for the next three weeks, Meeting the Meriden En- dees tomorrow, the following Satur- day the team plays the quintet of the Young Men's Russian Associa- tion of Passaic, N. J. The ability of this crew can well be imagined w! it is known that last Bunday, the team defeated the Hakoahs. Before that the team had defeated the Visitation Five, Pater- son and Rochester. It has not yet been defeated on its home floor. The following week, March 2, the locals will meet the Philadelphia Colored Giants, a team rated on a par with the Renaissance. Matchmaker Wagner who fur- nishes the thrills for the amateur fight fans at the Stanley Arena every weck, atates that because of the fact that no opponents can be found for Billy Reeves, tMe Bristol Bearcat, in the ranks of the simon pures, he will soon be put into the pros. In his fights or late at the Stanley Arena, he appears ready to atep into the higher class and he will be seen probably once or twice more before the step is taken. Just what effect the passage of the boxing bill, putting tne umateurs under the supervision of the state athletic commissioner, will have on the sport locally remaing to be secn. We are not familia. with the de- tails of the law as it will be put into effect, “Gas House” Gassinga, hefty cen- ter on the New Britain roller hock=y team, realised a long-sought ambi- tion last night when he caged a gou! in the game againat Providence. Al- most every night when the team is playing home, “Gas House” has been trying to step Into the scoring ranks. His shot last night was something to brag about, Harry Thompson showed amazing speed on the floor last night anl when, at the start, Providence tied up Williams, Thompson showed him- %elf to be a dangerous scorer. He and “Kid" Willlams are both cxcel- lent floor workers and dead sho's when it comes to going on the of- fensive, Pete Welch, New Britain goal ten- der, is doing one of the best jobs in the league in guarding the local cage. Pete has hit top form in his game and he s going like & house afire. He has two great defense men ahead of him in Barney Doher- ty and Gazsings and these take most of hi ps during the games. His totals would run high if they didn't block all of the drives that they do. FIELD§ FAVORITE IN BOUT TONIGHT Los Angeles Welterweight Btt- tles His Fellow Townsman Feb. 15 (M—Now a Jackie Fields, clever Los Angeles product, renews the feud he began us featherweight with his fellow-townsman, Baby Joe Gans in & 10 around bout {in Madison Square Garden tonight. Filelds outpointed the Negro star in a closs match on the Pacific coast several years ago when both were fighting In the 126-pound class. They renew their struggle tonight with Fields a fullfiedged 147-peunder and Gans a junior wel- terweight. Perhaps because of his sensation- al record of the last few months, ¥ields hag been established an § to § favorite. Since he lot a decision 1o Sammy Mandell, lightweight king, early in 1928, Fields has trounced Young Jack Thompson, the coast Negro who spilled Champion Joe Dundee for the count in Chicago; knocked out Sammy Baker, New York welterweight contender: put Mike Ryan, 8an Diego Indian, to sleep and outpointed Jack McCar- thy. Gans, in the meantime, has waded through the lightweights and junior welterweights in the east, although his opposition has been drawn from no field as hardy as Ficlds' The Ne- gro's chief handicap appears to be his weight. He is just a littie too hig for a lightweight and too small for a weltérweight. Consequently he is drawn too fine when he fights as a lightweight and he must con cede too much weight to welter. weights. Fields probably will have & four or five pound edge tonight. Two other ten rounders are on the card, Osk Till, veteran Buffalo middleweight, meeting Young Harry Ebbets, of Fresport, and Nick Testo, Troy welterweight, clashing with Georgie Levine of New York. House Painter Wins Carnegie Art Prize Pitisburgh, Feb. 15 UM—John Kane, who paints houses and box cars for a living but turns to the brush and palette for pleasure, yes- terday was awarded the Carnegie In. stitute prize in the 19th annual ex- hibition of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, which opened yesterday. Kane had passed his 60th mile- stone in life before he achieved his ambition of painting pictures. His advancement has been phenomenal and twice in recent years his paint- ings have hung in international ex- hivitions with the work of impor- tant contemporary artists of the jworld. New York, welterweight, HEATING CODE DISCUSSION The common council committse ordinances will meet at 8 o'clock lonight to consider further the pro- osed heating code Because of the iress of other matters, the commit. ee has not considered the code for everal weeks, but it is expected hat it will be put in form tonight or action soon at a joint meeting of the committee and local heating ontractors, after which it will he ecommended to the common coun pil for adoption.

With the stage all set for the sec- ond meeting of the week between the New Britain basketball team and the Meriden Endee quintet which will take place at the Stanley Arena here tomorrow night, the fans of this city continue their speculation as to the chances of the locals dumping the powerful Silver City combination, The majority of those who wit- nessed the game last Tuesday night in Meriden, feel confiient that New Britain is able to take the visiting combination. They claim that if the game had been played on a larger floor under a different ref- eree, New Britain would have maae Meriden travel much faster than the team actually did in the first game. Meriden has one of the best teams in years, With Rothenfeld and Cook as the regular forwards, the Endees have a fast pair of dangerous scor- ing men and good floor workers. “Jerry” Conway, at center, is the man around whom the work of the| Meriden team centers. In the back court, the team has two of the greatest long shots in the game . this state in Cohen and Gordon. Herb Cohen almost single handnd- ly defeated New Britain last Tues- day night and it will e a task for the New Britain player who pairs up with him, to keep him under wraps during the game. New Britain will use its regular lineup during the game with Zuk- zewskl and Sloman in the forward | center and ' the backcourt. A new face may be scva in the New Britain lineup.
