Speaking of Sports The New Britain roller hockey team, just at the critical time in the race for the American league pen- nant, has suffered the severest kind ©of a blow in the loss of Barney Do- herty, stellar halfback. Last night in Albany, Barney, in a collision’ with Steve Pierce, suffered an injury to his leg which might keep him out of the game for the rest of the sea- son, With Barney in the lineup, New Britain had an excellent chance to pass out Albany and cop the pen- nant. With him gone, the team still has & chance though not any. ‘where near as good as if he were on his feet. We haven't received any definit information relative to Barney" injury or its seriousncss and we are hoping that it will not be as seri- us as it appeared last night. It tikes a lot to keep Barney off his skates and unless he is really badly crippled, he can be ceunted upon 1o be up and doing in a short time. The game almost lost two of its stars last night when an automobile owned by Manager Arthur Ives of the Albany team skidded on an icy road in Nassgu. The entire party 'was thrown out but Steve and Earl Pilerce were ‘able to play when they veached Albany. There will be great rejolcing in the Ginsburg and Mangan families after last night. 1t will be occasioned by the success of the Fordham uni- versity basketball team over St. John's, its strongest rival, last night by the score of 24 to 21. Zaleski and Politis got into the game but they failed to score. Through this victory, remains unbeaten on the hasketball court. The team has won 17 straight gamed, As a coincidence, last night's defeat was the first suffered by St. John's. The team up to its meet- ing with the Maroon, had won 1§ straight games. Now Loyola, another undefeated | quintet, sends a challenge to Ford- ham for a series of games to de- termine the championship among the Catholic colleges.

Back in 1908 and 1909 only the idle rich people drove around in automobiles for pleasure and the idle rich men who could afford horseless buggies sat at the wheel in state and turned their hats up in front to keep them from blowing off. 0 Jim Jeffries in those days was a man in the money, a retired heavyweight champion of the world and he drove 2| his buggy around as he is shown in the gbove picture, Mrs. Jeffries, sitting with him in front, scemed to be proud of a wealth of hair, which was an indication of beauty in those days before the bobs, CHRISTNER MEETS PAULINO UZCUDUN Heavyweights to Battle Tomor- Tow Night in Garden New York, Feb. 21 (®—The bald head ang terrific punch of Meyer Wilson (K. 0.) Christner, heavy- weight from Akron, will make their second appearance in Madison 5 | Square Garden tomorrow night with one of the hardest skulls in the box- ing business as the object of his wallops. That hard head rests on the sturdy shoulders of Paulino Uzcudun, who has exposed it to the blows of most of the current crop of heavyweights- and without much damage. The bout is for ten rounds. For the Akronite, it is a sccond glorious opportunity in the space of a few weeks. If he can send over the paralyzing punch that sent Knute Hansen into the discard and that came close at times to starting Jack Sharkey along the same road, he will have at least a claim to be. REEVES T0 NEET PALVER BATTLER Bristol Bear Cat fo Feature Amateur Boxing Show After a state wide search for a suitable opponent for Bear Cat Billy Reeves of Bristol, Matchmaker Al Wagner of the Stanley A. C. finally entered Palmer, Mass, and has se- cured & man who will have a chance to stand up under the terrific punching of the Bell Town battfer. As a consequence, Reeves will ap- pear in the feature bout of next Monday night’s tournament against Jimmy Riley of Palmer, Mass., re- ported to be one of the leading mid- dleweights in the Buy State. Reeves always makes it a fight when he steps into the squared cir- cle and if Riley is to keep up the historical significance of his name, he will have to be in tip-top shape. The manager of the Palmer team, although unacquainted with the capubilities of Reeves, nevertheless COHETS TAKELEAD IN GROUP A LEAGUE Amenta Stars in Basketball Game at Boys' Club Group A Standing w. .8 Pet.

He is a better boxer than Bat- talino and local fans, who saw him box at New Haven recently, are of the opinion that he will . outpoint Bat, provided he manages to keep out of the range of the Hartford boy's death-dealing right. Pancho Villa is returning to the ring to meet Joe Zotter of New Britain, who has scored several kayoes in Hartford rings the past year-and Vie Marley will mix with Bill Coe, whose sensational fight {with Eddie Williams at IFoot Guard last fall is still talked of by fans here.

One of them was caught, the other surrendered. The two boys, William Phillips, 18, of 15 Payson street, Revere, and Charles McCarthy, 18, of 34 Payson street, were walking down Fifth avenue, Police charged McCarthy snatched a handbag from a woman's hand and the two boys ran, separat- ing as a policeman gave chase. The policeman pursued Phillips and finally caught him. McCarthy, seeing his chum was captured, ran after Phillips and the policeman and, the patrolman said, handed the purse, saying: “Here's the handbag. I don't hold him. They were locked up, charged with robbery. They had only 11 cents between them, police said.

Corbin and Corbin Cabinet Lock teams are out of the running for the championship of the “Y" Industrial Basketball league, the rivalry between the two factories is very keen and the battle Letween them tomorrow night ac the Tabs’ hall should be a good one. The third member of the Corbin 1amily, Corbin Screw, which seems to be on the road to the champion- ship will play in the second game of the night against Landers and the curtain raiser will be a game fea- turing the Stanley Works and New Britain Machine teams. The P, & . Corbin team has had many opportunities to make the grade in the Industrial league but every time its followers were begin- ning to expect great things the team suffered a defeat. The winner of the Cabinet-P. & I. game will take a good hold on fifth place. If P. & I Corbin loses it will take a better hold on second last place, Cabinet Lock is in the midst of a terrible slump. It has lost six out of the last seven games. In fact it has won only one game since it last played P. & F. Corbin. On that occasion Cabinet Lock won, 27 to 19, Cabinet Lock's greatest trouble is that it is wonderful on the defense and very poor on the offense. If the team could muster up some offensive power it would do damage. Ians will be given an opportunity to sce which defense is better, the zone de- fense played by P. & I". Corbin or the man for man defense which Cabinet Lock uses. Landers vs. Corbin Screw The league leaders will play the tail-enders in the second game of the night. The team which repre- sents Landers on this occasion is a much stronger combination than the outfit which was defeated 18 to 7 at the hands of the Screw Shop tcam last month, Stanley Works-Machine The Stanley Works and New Brit- ain Machine tcams appear to be evenly matched, on paper at least. This is the first time this season that these two teams have met. The next time they will play is on March 26, the last night of the season.

The lineup includes Hasior and | Wolfe in forwards. Wolfe is the star |of the team. Davis will play center {with Lamella and Clough as the guards.
