W Speaking of Sports The Kensington Boys' Club Inter- mediate basketball team will meet the Southington Y intermediates to- night in Southington for the County Y intermediate championship. The New Britain Red Wings, an assemblage of semi-pro roller hockey players will make their second ap- pearance at the Van Cortlandt Olym- pia roller rink tomorrow night, The local team will consist of Ed McAloon, Jr. Jimmy Clinton, Dick Hyland, Frank Hoole and George Bayer. This team lost the first game in an overtime period by the score of 6 to 6. The Meriden Endees tomorrow night play the Philadelphia Colorad Giants, This team is scheduled to play New Britain a week from next Saturday night. The team from the Young Men's Russian assoctation of \Passaic, N. J., which is scheduled to appear here next Saturday night against the New Britain quintet, has an er- cellent record of games won this season. The quintet beat the Visitations 13 to 2;‘. Paterson 30 to 26 and the Hakoahs 25 to 24. The victory over the Hakoahs was scored a week agd last Sunday or the day after the Hakoahs had played here. *Kid" Willlams, local roller polo star, stated yesterday that the game in Providence last Saturday night was the toughest he has played in years. He said that he had played harder there than ever before with- out seeming to get anywhere. 8o great were his efforts, that, it s said, he nearly collapsed in the dressing room after the game. At the same time, the local play- ers stated that no player in the league could have touched “Wild Bill” Duggan in the game for speed and accurate shooting. This explains in a measure the defeat suffered by . New Britain, The local team appears invineible on the home floor but various con- ditions met throughout the circuit reaact unfavorably on the team work of the New Britain team when it is on the road. Whispers are go- ‘Ing the rounds that the achedule is fixed to allow the teams to win at home but lose on the road. The innovation of an orchestra at an amatewr fight tournament tried last night at the Stanley Arena, wus a success. Whilé awaiting the ap- pearance of the boxers, the music was very entertaining. The arches- tra also flayed some timely numbers as the beys filed in and out.

T don’t know much about Boston, but Cin- cinnati will be strong and both Brooklyn and Philadelphia seem im- proved.™ Second base and the outfield are problems McGraw has to solve when he takes charge of his men at San Antonio, prob- ably the early part of next week. but he does not consider either as a 4 | source of worry. At second base it is zi 2 question of choosing between the hard-hitting Andy Reese smooth-fieldigg Andy Cohen. The outfield offers more juggling possi- bitities and McGraw may be obliged to employ reversible outer defense, !as he did last year. Two of the outfield stars have been classed asi holdouts, but one of thém, Jimmy Welsh, has just come to terms while the other, Fred Leach, who was obtained from the Phillies, is expected to do so soon. McGraw expects to sign contracts at camp and end his concern over sal- ary matters. To pick from, McGraw has four right-handed hitters in his outfield crop, if Reese is included, and as many more who hit left handed. But | the latter quartet, consisting of Ott, Welsh, Roush and Leach, secms to have a big advantage over the rest of the contenders. McGraw makes no secret that he is counting strongly upon Carl Hubbell, the young Oklahoma south- pay who pitched sensationally last |scason after coming up from the Tey win around 18 or 20 games and share the main pitching burden with Larry Benton, the redheaded right hander. McGraw, just back from a yaca- tlon in Havana, is enthusiastic about the prospects of baseball on the is- land as well as the chances of sev- eral new Cuban stars making the big league grade. “They have a young amateur star down there now, one Alfonso, & The Gla#ts were “in there” last' this | out with us in another year,” said the Giant manager. “He is only 19 now but a good hitter and great natural player. Another promising player is Rutz, who will be with Bridgeport in the Eastern league this year." . Reminiscent of the days of 1890, when he first visited Cuba with an American baseball team, McGraw told fin amusing anecdote. The games played by the Ameri- ican team with the Cubans were usually close and also usually wound |up in fights, involving players, spec- |tators and umpires. The Spanish governor general, after several such occurrences, decided the situation cglled for action. Summoning those concerned, he addressed them about as follows, McGraw recalls: “These games seem to be provok- ing a lot of fights. It also appears to |me, anyway, that they are mgrely another effort by the Americans to gain a foothold on the island. Since or the| s league. He expects Hubbell to! {the fighting scems to be mostly con- cerned with the outcome of the | games, T demand that the scores be \decided upon hereafter before they | start.” 1 WILLIAMS BEATEN | AT HIS OWN GAME Notre Dame Hallback Springs Upset in Track Meet muscled football star has come out of the middle west to beat Percy ‘\\'imams. Vancouver sprinter at his own game. 3 Norte Dame football team, furnished the track season with its outstand- ing upset last night when he con- quered Williams in a 60-yard dash, at the annual New York A. C. games in Madison Square Garden. | Tt was the first defeat of Wil- liams' career. The double Olympic I'sprint champion, up to last night, bad met the greatest sprinters in the world at varying distances and | always with the same success. Dur- ing his present American invasion the Vancouver youth had downed all the leading eastern sprinters, in- cluding Karl Wildermuth of George- |town; Jimmy Quinn of the New 'York A. C.; and Jimmy Daley of Holy Cross. What is more he had trimmed Elder decisively in the Meadowbrook games at Philadelphia last week. !, But Elder was pot to be denicd last night. The husky youth was off to” a perfect start, sped down the straightaway like an express train and had just enough left to stani off William's closing burst of speed. Williams was slow off his mark, as usual, but his famous “kick” near the finish failed by half a yard to nip the flying Elder. The time, six and two-fifths second, failed by one- | fifth of a second to equal the world’s record, John Fitzpatrick, another Canadian was third, a step or two Z New York, Feb. 19 (M—A heavily | Jack Elder, halfback on the last | the New York A.

OUR BOARDING HOUSE By AHERM ROW ON BETWEEN RIVAL MANAGERS Argument Confinoes Over Se- lection of Releree Miami Beach, Fla., Feb..19 (UP) —What started out to be some; harmless ballyhoo for the forth- coming Bharkey-8tribling fight de- veloped tor y into a little row be- tween the managers of. the rivai heavyweigl . contenders. The qu-ction of who is to referee the bout was the subject of another heated conference, the discussion settling down to a question of in- terpretation of the contracts signed v the Madison Square Garden cor- poration with the respective com- | batants, Out of a welter of thing became clear. The name of | the man who eventually will be chosen as referee has not yet been made public. The Striblings will not accept either of the Bostonians| named by the Massachusetts boxing commission, and that Pa says, is that. Johnny Buckley, voluable mana- ger of Jack Sharkey, insisted to the United Press today that his con- tract specified t*-* if the opposing words, one | good man. factions were unable to agrce upon a refcree the Massachusetts commis- sion should name the third man in the ring. “They have named Johnny Bassil and Jack Sheehan, and that's all there is to it, except to decide which shall be referee and which the al- ternate.” Buckley declared. “Nothing of the sort,” countered the elder Stribling, sticking out his chin and assuming truculent ex- pression worthy of his husky young son. *“The Massachusetts commis- sion was asked to name a referee and an alternate who woull be ac- ceptabl- ¢) both parties. The com- raission has named Bassil and Shee- ban, but neither is acceptable to us. “Ther: are good referees up in Boston. There's on: named Joe O’Connor who would be a mighty But nothing doing on Bassil, who is a personal friend of Sharkey, nor 8hechan, who is too old.” The question hoiled down to a fine interpretation of the contracts made by the Madison 8quare Garden cor- poration. Buckley claims that his gives the Massachusetts board the final word. “Jack Dempsey is out of this, now, as far as the referee i3 concerned,” said S8harkey's manager. “He would cnly have been called in to name the referee if the Massachusetts com- mission had failed to do so.” *“What do v u mean?” stormed “Pa” Ftribling. “Have we got to accept a man we don't want, just be- contract boxing | cause the commimiéa frcx Ehare ke{l home stats names him? That's cut.” As for Dempeey, he views the quarrel with an amused tolerance. The former champion has bern through these referee squabbles many a time on his own behalf. He regards the flurry of werds as s0 much more publicity for the figh! The seat sales ‘are the fondest hopes of Jack and his associates, and he declines to worry.
