—_—— Speaking of Sports With the anmouncement from Waterbury that Richard (Red) Donnelly, captain of the 8hamrocks, has been released, comes a sheck of surprise at the action. No reason (has been given for it and the fans are at a loss to account for it. Donnelly, without question, was lone of the most colorful players in the American league and with his passing goes one of the best show- man in the league. Always aggres- sive, Donnelly wont to rile the fans in every city in which he visit- ed and his appearance atways meant a few added customers through the turnstiles. The league will come to a closv on March 3, according to the deci- Ision of the managers reached yester- day at a mecting in Providence, Al- ready the roller polo moguls arc talking of the next season and the Iprospects now appear to be very bright for an cight team league. It is said that Bridgeport and [Mcriden will probagly return to the told with teams next year and if his is 80, the league will probably be comprised of eight teams. This ould be an interesting circuit, The Kensington Intermediates ook the County Y championship ast night in Southington and Sat- rday the team stcps in to the state hampionship race by playing Wal- ingford. Rev. Vernon Phillips is he man behind the gun where this eam is concerned. Quite a few chuckles are being eard up various sleeves over the act that Jack Sheehan of Boston as not been selected as the referee pf the Sharkey-Stribling bout In Florida on February 27. Sheehan will be remembered as he third man in the ring when .ouis (Kid) Kaplan of Meriden, hen world's featherweight cham- pion, received a gift of decision pver Babe Herman of New York. heehan was the referee during the bout and although it was very evi- bnt that Kaplan was away belov tandard, Sheejian rendered a draw yerdict that enabled Kaplan to ride ome with his crown still upoen his prow. This was Kaplan's poorest fight n his entirc career. He was ill with nalaria that night an he certainly howed it. Herman wasn't much hetter but the majority of the people t the fight thought that he had ned a decision. Kaplan is still very much in the unning for the lightweight cham- jonship and now that he apparently has left his ills and ailments behind im. he should start along the road hat leads to laurels often dreamed f in Meriden, ON FIRST VARSITY Plis= B.

Clark of Trinity street, is owing with the first varsity in crew ractice at Cornell da.ing the early jeason practice on the machine. hile this does not mean that he ill necessarily he selected for the barsity boat when the squad gets put on tha river, it shows that the New Britain youth is among the ren promi-ently considered for this it crew. Clark had never done any crew vork until last year, when he en- jered Cornell. During his first year t the sport he made the freshman rew and was one of the steadiest ien in the shell. He was also the allest man in the Cornell squad.

Only four more games, three of them at home, re- main on Penn's schedule, and the Philadelphians apparently can coust into their second consecutive cham- plonship. Every other league rival has been beaten at least twice so that Penn still can lose two of its four games and finish in a tie for the top. As the schedule stands, though, it hardly appears that Joey Schaaft and his team mates will be stopped at all unless Dartmouth turns the trick at Hanover on March 2. The Quakers have bheen invincible at home as well as abroad. Yale gave Penn quite a hattle of it but in the end the Elis could not stop Schaaf who tallied six field goals and two fouls and this splurge was what counted heavily against the home team.

A BEACH HOT-DOG AND ) KON DOWN To ' AND LOoK (T oveR NPFACHNENT OF JURIST FAVORED Legislative Commitiee Acts on' Hardy-McPherson Check Case !.!ncramenlo. Feb. 20.—(P—A com- mmee‘ report recommending that Buperior Court Judge Carlos 8. Hardy of Los Angeleg be impeached on charges of committing a mis- demeanor in office because of his al- leged activities in behalf of Aimee Bemple McPherson, evangelist, was to come before the state legislature here today. Walter J. Little, chairman of a committee which recently investi- gated Judge Hardy's acceptance of $2.500 from the evangelist while her kidnaping story was under fire from the Los Angeles district attorney's office, anounced last night that such a recommendation had been decided on by the committee members. The committee was named shortly after the American Bar association had removed Judge Hardy's mname from its membership rolls on the ground that he had violated the ethics of the national organization by accepting money from a person whose interests might come before the court for adjudication. Aimee Denied It Mrs. McPherson, testifying before the legislative committee, denied that Judge Hardy had advised her in her fight against a conspiracy charge brought by the district attorncy's office in Los Angcles in 1926 and later dropped. She was accused of conspiring to obstruct justice by tell- ing a false story about her disap- pearance to a grand jury. The county prosecutor alleged that instead of he- ing the victim of kidnapers she had been with her Angelus Temple radio operator, Kenneth G.

A member of the 1926 grand jury, however, testified that Hardy had warned him to “lay off the Aimce case.’ Another grand jury member tes- titied that Judge Hardy's alleged warning had been discussed among the grand jurors. Other witnesses testified that Judge Hardy had been active in attempting to substantiate the evangelist's story. The “gift" of the money to Judge | Hardy was made known several months ago by Mrs. Minnie Ken- nedy, mother of the Evangelist and former business manuger of An- gclus Temple. Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. McPherson had a disagreement more than a year ago. In reviewing the transaction, Mrs. Kennedy hint- od that the whole truth about her daughter's kidnaping story had not been made public. More Charges Likely Chairman Little said that if the assembly adopts the committee rec- ommendation and voles to impeach the jurist. additional charges of practicing law in oftice, obstruction of justice and malfeasanee in office would be included in the accusa- tions. Committee members said the in- clusion of the obstruction of justice accusation would permit the legis- lature to reopen and investigate the charges against the evangelist which resulted from her kidnaping story. Mrs. McPherson, who is on her way here from Vancouver, B. C. has been excused from further up- pearances before the committee, it was announced, Judge Hardy, in Los Angeles, re- fused to comment on the commit- tee's decision. ATTENDING M. I LECTURES A. A.
