OPEN TO PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT OF DETAILS OF SHARKEY-STRIBLING FIGHT—NEW BRITAIN AND ALBANY CLASH IN FIRST OF TWO-GAME SERIES IN NEW YORK CITY TONIGHT—PANTHERS WIN NINTH STRAIGHT GAME—PENN BEATS YALE HUBBELL PROVED A STAR MOUNDSMAN |NEW BRITAIN TO BATTLE PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT | OF FIGHT PLANS SEEN| TOMORROW NIGHT Lou Magnolia Picked as Referee of Shquey-Sttiblinz Bout After Stormy Session—Boxers Must Accept Set of Regulations to Govern Match—Receipts Al- ready Meet Cost of Producing Spectacle — Other Officials Have Been Picked. Miami Beach, Fla., Feb. 20 P— Now that a referec has been named who is satisfactory to both Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling, youth- ful gladiators in the fistic civil war of the north and south, it would seem that the way is paved for -; comparatively peaceful concluison o. the fight Jack Dempsey built. It would seem so, but the under- currents and loop holes in arrang ments that brought about the nam- ing of Lou Magnolia, New Yorker, in place of Johnny Brassil, Boston vcteran, as referee of the heavy- weight match one week from to- night, really indicate just the op- posite. | Magnolia, one of the most cap- able referees in the east, gained the assignment unexpectedly after a protracted and somewhat violent meeting last night of the fighters’ managers and Jack Dempsey. Magnolia, a demon worker on fight- ers of the clinching type, replaced Brassil and also Jack S8heehan, the alternate named by the Massachu- sctts state athletic commission. Through the technicalities of fight contracts, it was explained that the Massachusetts commission merely was asked for an opinion on the qualifications of referees, that the managers were able to get together and choose a man both refused to ;accept a few days ago. The possible complications, how- BATTALIND EETS TOUGH OPPONENT Hartford's Knockout Specialist Matched With Tony Leto Hartford, Feb. 20 — Tony Leto, Italian featherweight from Tampa, Fla., who meets Bat Battalino, Hart- ford's sensational knockout special- ist, in the feature bout at oot Guard hall Thyrsday night, is rated the best opponént the Hartford boy has been called upon to meet. Leto came north several months ago after a series of triumphs down in IFlorida and launched out on a victory streak that has gone to an «ven dozen, including three or four | knockouts, He is rated a better boxer than Battalino and is a good hitter, though not as devastating a puncher as_the Hartford boy. The prediction herc is that Leto will win, if the bout goes the limit, Battalino always shaping Py knockout menace against the boy he meets. This star bout is down for ten rounds and therc are several at- tractive bouts on the undercard. There are the other bhouts: Pancho Villa, Hartford, vs. Joe Zotter, New Britain, six rounds. Billy Coe, New Haven, vs. Morley, Hariford, six rounds. Marino Pagoni, Springfield, vs. Gerald Emard, Holyoke, six rounds. Chet Sawlowski, Holyoke, vs. Gunner Gordon, East Hartford, four rounds.

The upstate team is & mem- ber of the Polish Alliance league which includes some of the best teams in Connecticut and Massachu- setts. At the present time the Thompsonville crew is in second place and is pressing the leaders by a close margin. Last year the locals met the Thompsonville crew in two games and came out on top in both en- counters. Although the Burritts scored an easy victory in this city they were forced to travel at top speed to capture the verdict on the small Thompsonville floor. The Burritts have been strong in the race for the semi-pro cham- pionship this season and are anxious to remove the upstaters from their path. Their defeat Saturday was laid to the tired condition of the players who were taking part in their third game in four days. They are hopeful of returning to their winning form and will put their strongest lineup on the floor. So far this scason the Burritts have won 15 out of 17 games, having won 11 straight games before meet- ing the Laurels Saturday evening. Manager Ken Saunders will start Yakubowicz and Havlick at for- wards, Luty at center, and Barrow and Carison in the backcourt. Gill and Rose will also be ready for action. All players are requested to meet in front of the Y. M. C. A. on Thurs- day evening at 6:45 o'clock prompt- ly. The trip will be made by auto- mobiles. The battle is scheduled to start at 9 o'clock. e ISOUTH CHURCH QUINTET PROMOTIONAL WAR ™ s aroe state mie, 15 ON IN CHICAGO Planning for Two Fights | Chicago, Feb. 20 P—A battle for the fistic promotional supremacy of | First Opponcnt for Local Rasketball | Team Saturday Will be New Haven Team, The South church basketball quintet. having won the County Y.| M.
