£VCILTEICIVOOTOODLCTVOIVY Speaking of Sports It scems almost unnecessary to comment in this column on the vic- tory of the New Britain Basketball team Saturday night over the Meri- den Endees, but readers will pardon us if we exult just a litlle more over what to us is a justification of & long-held belief. That was that the New Britain quintet was just as sood a court combination as either Meriden or Bristol but it couldn’t click. There were so many facters of play that stood out in Saturday night's game that it is almost im- possible to diagnose the game and pick out that which was the most important in the final victory. To us, the fact that New Britain got possession of the ball most of the time, took it into the back court snd then with splendid team work, passed it up to the basket for scores, seems to be the one thing that ‘brought the home club victory over Meriden. Many sub-factors contributed to the win, especially the work of *Hank" Arburr against Cohen, star of the Meriden offense. “Hank” did the best job of guarding that Cohen ever remembers. That is by his own admission. The Meriden star after the game stated that he had never met a player with the stamina of the local boy. Then there was the stellar per- formance of “Jiggs” Donoghuc at center. We have so many times claimed for him the title of premier center in Connecticut that we feel that we can again say he is the best in the game. The only criticsm we ever had of his playing is that he doesn't shoot enough. We ar2 positive that he could be a scoring number on a team if he wanted to be. Another important part of the game was the excellent team play between Sloman and Zakzewski. 1f this pair continue to pcerform to- gether as they did Saturday night, there won't be any mneed to worry about them getting baskets. We can't allow Tom lLeary'’s ex- cellent work in the passing of the team to go unnoticed. Without show or ostentation, the former Yordham captain played a whale of a game. lic kept Cook and Griffin scorcless {rom the floor. Sloman makes an ecxtraordinary guard. Not only did he come out of the game as high scorer, but he kept Rothenfeld from making apy points at all. The Meriden team kept putting everybody against the local star but Al came through with the points just the same. Also, | there doesn’t scem to be any guard who can stop Zakzewski on his dribble to the basket. ‘ Let us also compliment Clyde ‘Waters on an excellent job of refer- eeing. Of all the games played here this year, Clyde's work of officiating Baturday night, was about the best. Gelting our first glimpse of “Red" Williams, brother of the local roller hockey star, “Kid” Williams, yester- day, we have come to the conclusion that there is no comparison between the two as f: ability goes. The local player has it all over his brother, The polo team faces a tough road this week. Wednesday night the team plays in Albany. Thur: night Albany plays here. 1 3 night the locals go to Jall River. This is a tough enough schedule for enyone. Matchmaker Wagner of the Stan- ley A. C. will introduce a novelty ut the amateur fight tournament to- night when he plans to have an or- chestra play during the bouts. This stu: t hasn't been tried here before. In the account of the Gasco min- strel show written the other night, one of the numbers was accredited to Frank Keaveney. This should have been Irank Kicffer. Sorry, Trank. Felix Zarccki, who plays a bit of pinochle at fire headquarters while waiting for alarms has acquired a thorough knowledge of the game, in fact, was for some time granted the title, “King Pin.” But the “King Pin” was bowled over Saturday night when “Silent £am” Wolfer showered him with a fancy assortment of winning cards, that left Zarecki rpecchless and titleless. Now there's a new “King Pin* at headquarters. Sam has been reminded., however, of the old adage, “Uneasy lics the head that wears a crown.” “Itchky” Cohen, caplain of the Phantom basketball team, which is the most consistent rival of the Bur- ritts for the city championship, played with the Burritt team Satur- day night. a young team, made as a preliminary to the New Saturday. ‘This outfit should be heard from if it sticks together for & few years. BEST PEOPLE 10 ATTEND BIG BOUT Sharkey and Stribling Nearing Perfect Condition Miami Beach, Fla., Feb, 18 (#— Under blazing skies in the heart of a winter playground of the rich, where society basks in royal fashion by the sea, two pugilists, incongru- ous in their surroundings, are mak- ing ready for the battle of the Eve glades. There are wide stretches of creamy sands where the social clite flash the latest of scashore styles and bathe in a rippled ocean that is channeled blue and green by chang- n High school game| ing currents. There are grand yachts moored to the piers or steam- ing in Biscayne Bay. There are cost- ly homes, expensive automobiles, airs of beauty without thought of cost, and there is the raw pine structure of a fight arcna, rising clamorously in the center of Fla- mingo park, That fight arena on the night of February 27 will hold most of the “best people” Tex Rickard always sought to lure to his fistic shows, Now that Tex Rickard is dead, Jack Dempsey, the man he made a mil- lionaire, is luring them to the box offices with all the magnetism of the old master of the ballyhoo. They will be there that night, in all prob- ability, because the battle of Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling for heavyweight recognition will be “the thing” for the night, superseding yachting parties, the costume balls, or even a visit to the Deauville Casino Rickard built. But for the time being, at least, the Boston strong boy and his Geor- gia rival are getting along without the patronage of society and wealth as far as their training periods are concerned. The small crowds which watch Sharkey in his training stunts in the sunny ring pitched beside the dog track Tex fashioned, are made up of the curious, the casual trav- cler who may not be here for the fight, and the strange-looking at- tendants who hover around all fight camps. Society for the most part, is neither talking nor thinking fight. Stribling attracts an audience that would enjoy any vaudeville show in addition to a share of the fight faithful from the ranks. In a crum- bly casino by the sea, Stribling boxes sparring partners, other boxers work against each other, a former vaude. ville comedian announces the at- tractions and contributes a running fire of jokes, while “Pa"” S8tribling dees a balancing act with the box- er's two-year-old son, Despite all this, the heavyweight engagement Rickara planned as an advertisement for other ventures here promises to net the Madison Square Garden corporation a hand some return. When William I Carey, railroad builder and vice president of the Garden, took over promotion of the match with Jack Dempsey, he considered a loss of $100,000 a good investment in order to maintain the corporation’s pres- tige. With the fight still ten days away the match seems well on the way to $100,000 profit, Both Sharkey and Stribling ar2 so far along the road te perfect condition that both are in danger of overdoing. Stribling, boxing un av- erage of once a weck throughout the south and southwest, is down to 185 pounds, as low as he dares to go. Sharkey, with a hard-won vic- tory over K, O. Christner just under his belt, is within two pounds of be- ing ready at 194. He planned a com- plete rest today and Stribling will refrain from labor both today and tomorrow. In the meantime, the wealthy backbone of Miami Beach continues to enjoy the cooling ocean, the day and night rounds of pleasures that £O With vacations at a summer re- But for the fighters, it seems as sort in the winter, and the company of “Bill” Carey and Jack Dempsey. though there will be plenty of time for them on the night of Icbru- ary 27, OLYNPIC STARS IN TRACK MEET Race Between Barbuti and Ball Holds Center of Interest New York, Ieb, 18 (A—There won't be any wooden shocs around but Madison Square Garden will bear a striking resemblance to the Olympic stadium at Amsterdam to- night. A score or so of the Olympic track and ficld stars who burncd up the cinders in Holland séven months ago will be on hand for the annual games of the New York A. C. Chief inter of course, centers around the Bucrmeyer 500 yards special in which Ray Barbuti and Jimmy Ball are to take up their duel where they left off at Amster- dam. On that occasion Barbuti, husky sprinter developed at Syracuse university but now competing for the New York A. C., beat Ball, the Canadian, by inches to capture the Olympic 400 meter championship, the only flat race won by a United States athlete. Strange as it may secm, neither Barbuti nor Ball is an outstanding fayorite to win tonight. Ball, un- ustomed to indoor running and a bit baffled when it comes to taking the banked turns, hardly figures to be a factor in a race where he must meet not only Batbuti but Joe Tier- ney, world's record holder at 500 Bernie McCafferty, the Holv Cross freshman flash, and Irank Cuhel, the Jowa quarter miler and hurdler, Barbuti enters the race without any competition behind him this scason. He has run a few exhibi- tions but that is all. If he is in con- dition, of course, he will be the man the others must beat. Tierncy, the temperamental, won the Buermeyer trophy in 1924 and against last ycar and can capture it outright if he leads home the field tonight. He has not started in a scratch race this season, confiing his cfforts to running the anchor leg for New York A. C. relay tcams. Percy Williams, the Vancouver flier, is entered in a 60-yard special against such stars as Wildermuth, Quinn, Daley, Pappas, Elder ani Hussey. The Olympic double sprint champion, never Seaten in his run. ning career, apparently is in top form. He broke the world’s record for 60 meters in Brooklyn Saturday night, fidshing past the tape in six and four-fifths seconds. Paavo Nurmi, an outstanding fig- ure in several 'Olympiads including the last, is cntered in a two mile event. It was in a similar race at the New York A. C. games in 1925 that the famed Finn set his astound- ing mark of 8:58 1-5, the first and only time two miles was run under nine minutes, Leo Lermond, Boston A. A. who placed in the Olympic 5.000 meters, is down to start in the Baxter mile; Fred Veit, Sam Martin and Pinkie Sober in the Brefney half-mile; I°red Sturdy of Yale: Barney %crlim;vr of Pennsylvania, and Vic Packard of Pittsburgh in the pole vault, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1929, SOUTH CHURCH COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP RETAINS Defeats Broad Brook In Furious See-Saw Game at Hartford and Obtains Permanent Possession of | County “Y” Three-Year Cup—Locals Come From Behind In Last Period — Rockwell on Defénse. Crowning three ycars of determin- ed struggle and brilliant achieve- ment, the South Congregational church basketball tcam won perma- nent possession of the three-year| senior championship cup offeréd by the Hartford County Y. M. C. A. when it overcame Broad Brook by 40-33 in a furious sce-saw encoun- ter at the Hartford “Y" late Satur- day afternoon. It was the third year in succession that the church team had captured the cup, and the trophy will now remain here as an enduring reminder of the team which held together during those three seasons and, in earning final ownership of the trophy, captured 20 out of 22 “Y" league games. Saturday's game was a flerce one. Broad Brook threw up a zone de- fense which New Britain found dif- ficulty in penetrating, and Tyler rac- €d up the floor for two pretty shots to start Broad Brook off to a 4-0 lead. Bell finally put New Britain into the game and Morey tied the score, only to have the northern championsh pushed out again to 8-4 on shots by Butler. But the lo- cals rallied again and a long shot by Morey scttled through the hoop to put them ahead by 9-8 as the quarter ended. Broad Brook tied the score at 11-11 in the second pe- riod, but Wessels put New Britain ahead, Bell dribbled the entire length of the floor for a goal, and the locals held onto this lead, the score being 19-15 at the half, Broad Brook made its gre: f= fort in the third period, with Tylcr and Yaskulka bearing the brunt of an attack which carried the upstate team out into a three-point lead as that quarter ended. Then New-Brit- ain came back in a furious assault which finally ripped the Broad Brook defense apart and won the; game. Bell's pop from a dead run started things. Morcy -dropped in one from under the basket. Wes- scls spun in a& beauty from the side- lins, and the panic was on. The los- ers broke up the attack once in a while, but always it formed again, and the last few minutes found New Britain always in possession of the|l ball, Morey led the New Britain attack with 14 points, while Bell played a wonderful floor game in bringing the ball through the defense and getting it to his mate. Wessels got the jump consistently and was a potent scoring factor in the critical moments. Rockwell, Parker and Barta held the Broad Brook for- wards to a total of two baskets. Rockwell's work was particularly brilliant. Not only did he hold the slippery Randall without a basket, but at times he had to hold off the whole Broad Brook attack, and on one occasion he outguessed four op- ponents and took the ball from them when it scemed a score was inevita- ble. He also contributea four need- ed baskets. Tyler was the big noise for Broad Brook, with Butler and Yaskulka as his chief understudies. The game was exceptionally clean and free from roughness. The South Church won the the title first in 1927, taking it from the Wapping Community club. Last year it repeated by winning a six- team league, while this season it had to triumph in # five team circuit in the southern half of the county and then meet Broad Brook, which won the league in the northern part. The locals will now represent Hartford county in the state tournament, playing their first game next week against New Haven county. Their opponents will be either Milford or Wallingford.

It was decided by Coaca Cassidy to play a half a game against the Flashes and to play a full game of shortened periods gainst the Gilbert Reserves. The half game was lost to the Flashes in the last minutes, but the . ed & Gold Seconds had a rather easy time overcoming the opposition of the Winsted team.

The 1929 ranking, announced by the Canadian Lawn Tennis associa- tion, places Wright at the No. 1 posi- tion; Willard I*. Crocker at No. 2; Gilbert Nunrns, of Toronto, No. 3; and Arthur W. Ham, Toronto, No. 4. Thus the first four ranking players also are members of Canada’s Davis cup team, Behind this quartet are ranked G. Shields, of Vancouver; W. Martin, Regina and Toronto university; G. W. Leslic, Montreal: W. W. Gyles, Winnipeg; Marcel Rainville, Mon- treal, and T. O. Ryall, Vancouver. Ryall may represent the Dominion in the Wimbledon championships this year, and, perhaps in the French hard court championships. Delegates to the annual meeting of the Canadian Lawn Tennis associa- tion discussed the proposal to send them as official representatives of the Dominion but definite decision was placed in the hands of the presi- dent. It was pointed out that Canada had been almost the only part of the world not represented at Wim- . | Winsted; bledon and that *“the quality of th2 game played by Wright and Crocker made it certzin that the Dowinion would be ably 1epresented.” Most of the delegates secemed in favor of the proposition.
