Speaking of Sports Laaaaaaasaaaaaaaa o 2 ] The New Britain Red Wings de- feated the Van Cortlandt * Olympic Roller Rink pola team in New York last Wednesday night by the acore of 4 to 8 in a hot game, A large crowd of fans witnessed the game,,and it is going to be popular in New York. An X-ray has been taken of Bar- ney Doherty's knee and it is a ques- tion just how lopg the veteran polo star will be laid up. Barney may be able to play in about a week or he may not be able to play for the re- mainder of the season. There was no fracture although at first it was thought that there was but the liga- ments in the knee have been pulled away, Every polo fan in this city is root- ing for Barney to get out within the next week so that he will be in the game at the windup of the season. Like the wreck of the Hesperus, the Albany polo team came to this city last night. Earl Pierce was wearing a blood soaked pad over his forehead which he had split open in an automobile accident Wednesday night, while his brother, Seve, with his right leg almost entirely encased im bandages, could do nothing but limp around. Steve’s play last night in the game against New Britain was nothing short of marvelous. All done in through the acident of the night be. fore and suffering torture during the game from the injured limb, never- theless, he played a whale of & game and was as dangerous as ever. New Britain meets the Fall River team in New Bedford today. The game is being played this afternoon in the Whaling city because of the fact that an automoblie show is being held in the Kall River's home rink during this week. Gillette played as a substitute for Iarl Pierce with the Albany team last night and he looked like & million dollars. He passcd, skat- ed and hooked in great style and he appears to be among the best prospects in the city. If he sticks to the game, the prediction is that he will make a good player. Jack Curry of Meriden and Joe Carrol of Bristol paid New Britain a wonderful compliment last night by' saying at a conference Wwith Clarence Lanpher of this city that the New Dritain team winner of the sfate championship for two consceutive scasons, should most certainly 'be counted in the running for the state title this year. The three teams will play a home and home series ‘'with cach other to de- [cide the pennant. Doherty, captain of the Fordham University Basketball — quintet, will become a member of the New Bri- Buiin team atter the last game of the season for the college squad. That will be next Wednesday night. He has been included in the New Itvitain roster for the play-off erics.

According to present indications the greatest outpouring of fans that ever witnessed a court contest in this city will be present to watch the state's leading championship con- tenders in action. The entire reserve section of 400 seats has already been sold at this early date. However, there is still ample room as 1,060 rush seats will be on sale at the gate. Meriden has all the best of the series to date, with two wins in as many starts, the only team that has heen able to humble the Bristolites twice this year, The Currymen have clicked off 13 victories in their last 14 starts and expect to hand the locals a third jolt in the coming tilt. Since the previous Meriden defeat Bristol has been strengthened with the addition of 8id Richman at cen- ter and has been bowling over all opposition with clock-like regularity. The team has registered nine con- secutive wins, against the speediest quintets in this section. Both teams will use their strong- est lineups. Bristol will start with Stan Richtmeyer and Jimmy Picken forwards, Sid Richman center, and Jim Manning and “Wardy” Water- man, guards, with Malcolm, March- inek and Carney in reserve. Meri- den will counter with Cook and Rothenfeld forwards, Conway center, and Cohen and Gordon guards, with McCarthy, Zythwics and Griffin in reserve, Sections for the cheering delega- tions of both plants have been as- signed. The Bristol rooters prom- ise to give the Meriden contingent a noisy reception and will be equip- ped with razzers, ' horns, whistles, cow bells and other noise-making devices. Several large gongs of the type used on ambulances and fire trucks have been hung from the rafters to add volume to the racket. Meriden will also bring over plenty of noise-makers and a large evening should result.

It's up to the ball players whether he wants to play for that salary. “I've had my last say. If they want to play ball, all right. I need !them all, but I'm paying the salar- {ies and I know what I can give, and they don’t. The claims of some of them are sa ridiculous that they are really funny.” Twenty-one men, 11 veterans and 10 rookies, are at the Athletics’ camp. They include 13 pitchers, four catchers and foutr ficlders. Will Not doin Team Philadelphia, Feb. (M—Mickey Cochrane, star catcher of the Phila- delphia Athletics, asserted today that he would not join the team at its southern training camp uniess his terms are met by Manager Connie Mack. Cochrane is reported to have asked for $2,000 a year more to sign a new contract to replace his three year agreement which expired last fall. “1 made my demands to the Ath- letics,” Cochrane said. Mack made his reply. T didn't ac- cept his term. 1f T go south it will he because 1 won my argument. 1f I don't then Mack doesn’t accept. 1t 1 play ball, the fans can be as- sured that 1 have been given what 1 asked.

According to the an- nouncement of Matchmaker Al Wag- ner of the Stanley A. C., Riley will have been the only fighter to appear here in recent weeks who has been able to furnish Reeves with any sort of competition. Riley heads a combination of amateur boxers from Palmer, Mass., who will battle the pick of Connecti- cut teams in the weekly amateur mitt show at the Stanley Arena on Monday night. The team, according to Wagner, rated as the best in this vicinity and there should be plenty of action in the 10 bouts. Louie Murrell of Torrington, state featherwelght champion, will be pitted in the semi-final, another fea- ture bout, against Victor Brown of Palmer., Brown is a sturdy fighter and a good boxer according to re- ports and should give Murrcll a tough tussle. The third feature bout on nighi's card as planned by matchmaker will be a go between Vincent LaBella, sensational 126 pounder from Middletown, and Jack Cartier, another Palmer representa- tive. LaBella has yet to be defeated in this city this year. I'our other boxers will be includ- ed in the Palmer team and these will fight in all classes ranging from low- er than featharweight to the middle- weight class, The manager of the team predicts a series of wins for his crew but Monday night will tell the story. Tecams of boxers selected from Middletown, Unionville, Bristol and this city will be pitted agaimst the invaders while a number of matches between natural rivals in this state will round out the card. There will be 10 bouts on the program. The innovation of having an or- chestra at the fights will be contin- ucd Monday night. The Silver Lake band of Bristol will furnish the music during thé bouts and dancing will follow. Ladies will be admit- ted with their escorts to the re- served secats. the the WIN IN MIDDLETOWN The Y.

GIANTS IN WORKOUT San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 22 (UP)— Ray Schalk, acting manager of the New York Giants, planned to send the team through a strenuous workout today.

In all probability there never has been another major heavyweight battle in modern fistic history where the trainin, efforts of two such principals as Boston Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling, Georgia's slug- ging pride, were lost so completely in the picturesque scenery of the battle ground or so overshadowed by the personalities of such figures as Jack Dempsey and doughty Bill Carey, certainly no other pair of fighters ever had to contend ‘or publicity with such a problem as was left the Madison S8quare Garden corporation at the death of Tex Rickard. Yet the young contenders for the heavyweight mantle Gene Tunney threw aside have worked along steadily in the shadow of arguments over referees and rules, lost amid the dogged perseverance that has built the fight from almost a certain failure to an assured success. Anl all this despite the fact that both Sharkey and Stribling promise some- thing out of ordinary for thelr par- tisans on the night of February 27. The Sharkey of today is some- thing northern fans have not seen for more than three years. He has shaved his weight down to the fig- ure of his first commanding victor- ies, his conquests of the negroes George Godfrey and Harry Wills more than three years ago. CHRISTNER MEETS PAULINO TONIGHT Heavyweights to Battle in Madi- son Square Garden New York, Feb, 22 (®—Meyer | (K. 0.) Christner, the big rubber tire man from Akron, has been quot- ed as saying that he likes to have his fistic rivals “come to him.” The! chances are Meyer will have his| likes appeased tonight when he meets the rugged and rough Span- iard, Paulino Uzcudun, in a 10 round match 1n Madison Square Garden. Paulino seems to have ona- track mind so far as fighting soc His idea of a pleasant evening on the resined canvas is to start w: ing into his opponent at the opun- ing gong and to quit wading only, when the battle's all over, Christner insists that this style of fisticufis is made to order for him becatse it gives him a chance to shoot over| that powerful right hand, the 33- year-old heavyweight's best weapon | and the one that stopped Knute Hansen in cight rounds. But Christner may tind Paulino an despite the | Spanish woodchopper's continual | rushing tactics. Paulino (ucks his chin deep in his chest as he closes in and wraps a couple of brawny arms around it for additional protec- tiend. H No fight espert would accuse Paulino, or Christner either, of be- ing a clever boxer, but the Spau-| iard's style gets results. No oppo- nent, not cven George Godfrey, the huge negro, has been able to make much of an impression on the Spaniard's chin or body, and whea Paulino gets in close he deals out plenty of punishment. His blows are not particularly dangerous, but gen- erally they land often enough to win him the decision. Christner's only chance scems to close observers to lie in a knockout and there are few of these who be- lieve cven so potent a slugger as Christner can succeed where others! of greater reputation have failed.
