Speaking ; of Sport Although Manager Clarence Lan- pher of the New Britain basketball team hasn’t made any announce- ment about his team for Saturday night, in many quarters, it is ex- pected that the Hudson, N. Y., quin- tet, the aggregation to which Al Sloman formerly belonged will fur- nish the attraction here. This will be the first of & home and home series to be played be- tween the two teams, the Hudson quintet playing here Saturday and the locals playing there later on. It is understood that the first game of the state champlonship ser- ies in which the New Britain team will take part, will be played on Wednesday night, March 6, at the Stanley Arena with New Britain and the Bristol Endees as the prin- cipals. The New Britain roller hockey quintet faces the toughest week of the entire season at the present time Crippled through the late season in- jury to Barney Doherty, the team tonight faces Albany in Albany and Albany plays here Thursday night, The regular schedule finishes on Sunday. New Britain and Albany seem as- sured of first and second places in the league and these two clubs will probably hook-up in the post-season serles of the best five out of nine games to settle the champlonship of the league. These will among the most bitter battles of the entire season. Boucher, center on the Fall River club, will probably be signed for the series with New Britain to take the place of Barney Doherty. will play either rush or center with Pete Gamzinga at halfback. will give New Bitain a dangerous scoring combination on the front end and a tough defensive crew in the b&ck court. Pete Welch has become a real ice cream flend. He ate six plates of it {ast night and all but cleaned out the stock in Charlie’s Grill. Pete started telling the boys last night that he used to be a fighter and was knocked out by Jack Renault, the Canadian heavywelght. The Boys' club teams underwent a shake-up last night and the re- sults were satisfactory in the ex- treme. Boukus and Rametta were dropped back to the Reserves and their places on the first team taken by Zembrowski and Rakutis. Rametta and Boukus promptly proceeded to wcore 24 points be- tween them in the preliminary game. Whereat, not to be outdone, Zembrowskl and Rakutis made 27 in the main contest. The seemed to wake up all four players, A group of ‘rooters” (or maybe we should say “hooters”) gathered in one corner of the club gym and kept up steady cheers for the club players, the visitors, the referee, the scorers, numbers of the spectators, and everyone else they could think of, The big game was a farce, the visitors proving of poor caliber. scrambling was wild at times, and Referee Jack Tobin looked quite worn out when he left the floor at the end of the game. We imagine this was from the strain of keeping straight face. PLAY GAME TODAY Uraves Squad to Cavort in Regular Sandlot Lincup in First Practice Contest, Bt. Petersburg, Fla., Feb, 26 P— A day ahead of time, the Braves will see action today. Emil E. FFuchs, their president-managesi and his board of strategy, capitul ed late yesterday to the eagerness of their charges and, encouraged hy the pace the boys have set in lim- bering up, decided a fray at the waterfront park could do no harm. The game, however, will be no regular-yannigan affair, Instead, to help dispel the training camp monotony, as well as to let the men see what they can do in each oth- er's positions, it will be a regular sand-lot lineup, with pitchers and catchers, outfielders and inflelders, scattered indiscriminately over the diamond. Johnny Evers, new coach, is de- lighted with the general showing and especially pleased by the spirit of Percy ‘Jones, veteran southpaw acquired from the Cubs in the Hornsby deal. Although Jones fell heir to a considerable estate last summer, and might ordinarily be supposed to be disgruntled at a transfer to the lowly Braves, he has been one of the hardest workers at the camp and has established him- self as a good fellow as well, WASHINGTON TEAM WINS ‘The Washington Basketball five defeated the Spartans last night at the Washington school gym by the score of 57 to 42. The Spartans got away to a slow start but finished fast. Capodice and Curylo were the stars for the winners while Dagola and Carlson shone for the losers.

Tommy Duggan Louis Kid Kaplan, former feather- : weight champion of the world, squares off with Freddie Mueller, the famed Buffalo lightweight, in the feature tilt on the card to be staged tonight at the New Haven Arena. Kaplan and Mueller are rated on even terms for the fight, mainly be- cause Kaplan is the favored son of Connecticut. The odds, by a margin of 10 to 9, should favor Mueller to win for he has been a busy boxer of late and his record as a light- welght overshadows that of the Buz Saw, Mueller's victory over Ray Miller, Chicago knockout artist, stamps him as a capable leather pygher and Kid Kaplan has been very careful to get Into tip top shape for the meeting. The Kid promises to be a busier boxer tonight, busier than ever, but then he will have to be to do any- thing with the alert and ever-ready Mueller. Knockouts are not exactly in Mueller's line, although he has scored some during his term in the ring, but he has a habit of com- pletely demoralizing the opposition with his steady rain of punches. Mueller and Kaplan are backed up by a strong card, scheduled to get under way at 8:30 sharp, and 28 rounds make up the supporting pro- gram, Georgie Day, moving toward the promised bout with Eddie Elkins, will meet Clyde Jones, Jersey City protege of Johnny Shugrue in the semi-final of eight rounds. This pair have met before at Bridgeport, with Day eking out a close decis- lon after eight rounds. Another eight rounder, a special bout, shows the sensational bantam- welght of New London, Hughie Dev- lin, paired off with Oscar Goldman, of New York. It looks like a busy evening for Goldman. Devlin was rated with the country’s leading ban- ms by the late Tex Rickard and the famous promoter made no mis- take for if ever a boxer had fine prospects it {s Devlin. He !s a mar- vel at boxing and carries a sharp punch in both flsf The light heavies creep into the plcture in the second listing, Frankie Rush, of Manchester, meeting the newest find from Italy, Amedeo Grillo. This pair are slated to go six rounds although the general feel- ing fs that the bout will end long before that time. Bush is the fav- orite to win by a knockout. In the opening bout of six rounds, Frankle Marino, hard hitting New Haven youth, again meets Tommy Duggan, of New London. Duggan proved to be a tough customer in A recent meeting with Marino and did much damage to the Elm City youth although the loser by a close decision. {RUMOR THAT KELLOGG WILL STAY IN CABINET Secretary of State Thought to Have Boen Asked to Remain Until End of March. Feb. 26 (P—Secre- tary Kellogg, who has announced his intention of returning to his home town of St. Paul to resume law practice there after March 4, was asked yesterday whether he had changed his plans so as to remain in Washington a few weeks after that date. He smilingly refused to discuss the subject. This led his inquirers to think Presfdent-elect Hoover might have requested him at their recent con- ference to remain in the cabinet un- til the last week of March. Henry L. Stimson, mentioned most prominently as Mr. Hoover's selec- tion as the successor of Mr. logg for the sccretaryship of state, is now en route from the Philip- pines where he was governor gen- eral and will not be able to reach Washington until about March 25. He arrived in Hongkong today and is due in S8an Francisco March 20. Secretary Davis of the war de- partment also declined today to dis- cuss what he plans to do after March 4. WILL HARRIS PLAY? New Manager of Detroit Tigers Has Given the Dopesters Plenty to Write About. Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 26 (®—Stan- ley “Bucky” Harris already has given the dopesters something to write about. Does he, or does’he not intend to play this season? The question was forced into prominence yesterday by the serious manner in which the new manager of the Detroit Tigers worked out at third base in the first practice scs- sion of the season. He spent almost the entire period there scooping up sizzling ground ball; ‘No, I'm to manage the club,” was his answer to the natural question. “But I could either play third or The hotel lobby legion, however, will keep a weather eye on the position held last year by the vet, Marty McManus.

Albany Waterbury Providence Fall River . 444 With the end of the playing sea- son qnly a few days away, the New Britaln Roller Hockey team faces a desperate grind in its last few re- maining games. Tonight the team goes to Albany where it will meet its most consistent and dangerous contender for first honors. New Britain, weakened by the in- jury to Barney Doherty, is below standard in its play and Albany looms as a big threat to the drive of the locals for first place. It was rumored about last night that Man- ager McDonough had secured a player to play in the lineup in place of Doherty, but the manager could not be reachei today. Tonight's game will be a battle between the two high notch clubs |of the league. Both quintets are anxious to win and Albany, because of the many drubbings handed the team in this city, is anxious to square itself in the percentage column. g The Empire State team will have its regular lineup with Steve and Earl Pierce on the rush line, Lunde- ville at center, Morrison at halfback 00 489 eSS o ks ve 1o s M and Barnikow in goal.

Albany comes here for a return engagement at the Stanley Arena Thursday night. Owing to the fact that this will be New Britain's sec- ond last home game before the championship series, plenty of interast is being displayed in the battie.
