Speaking of Sports Although in writing about the state industrial’ basketball tourn ment which is being held here today we made sure to say that New Brit- ain had the chance to win the state title for the first time in recent vears, wec have been checked on this statement just as we expected we would be. Wheneyer a sports writer says that such and such a team has won {he state or some other title for the fiest time, there is sure to be some old timer who will trot forth an encyclopedia of facts and figures to show that the statement was grossly wrong. However, the following dope from Harry Linnehan, athletic mentor of the New Britain Machine C will be interesting to all TIndustrial basketball league fans. Harry's let- ter is given in full: “In Thursday evening’s Herald. in an article relating to the com- ing basketball championship play- off, T noticed a statement to the eftect that New Britain had never won a state industrial basketball championship. “Back in the ‘good old days when’ —the New Britain Machine com- pany had ‘honest to goodness’ bas- ketball teams. The Newmatics, with Jimmj Maher, Johnnie Sheehan Tommy Reynolds, Nate Ave Charlie Miller, Baylock and a few others whom T can't recall just now. won the vy Industrial league championship, the City champion- ship, then defeated the Industrial Champs in Hartford, Waterbury and Bridgeport, winning the State Dusty title and finally played the Indus- trial league champions of New Jer- sey, winning that game also. “That was in 1920-21, 1 believe, but even before that, the, New Brit- ain Machine team with Charlie Miller, Bill Dudack. Stevie Stephan- ian, Leon Jones, Howard Hancock, Harry Kallberg and others, had won the City Dusty title in 1018-19, I think, and defeated the Hartford Rubber Works in a series for the state title. “Most of the 1920-21 team were also on the K. of C. quintet that year which won the State K. of C. league race. “I may be mixed on the seasons, as 1 am depending upon memory, but I do know that New Britain has won two State Dusty titles in bas- ketball and the New Britain Ma- chine team had the honor of win- ning both. ‘Them was the happy days’” Thank you, Harry, for the infor- mation. We are not an aracle on these affairs and we are glad 1o have any of this history brought to our attention. Vague memory stirs us and we remember the teams and the occasfons. Also, these facts have been verified and found to be absolutely true although the seasons might be mixed. The State Industrial bowling championship will be decided to- night in New Haven at the Rogers Recreation Alleys when the two finalists in the race for the title will battle it eut at 8 o'clock. Iour teams arc meeting this afternoon at 3 o'clock. New RBritain plays New Haven while Bridgeport meets Stamford. The winners of this aft- ernoon's semi-final games will battle tonight. Robins Test Strength Against Real Sluggers New York, April 12 (P—Brool:- lyn's Robins get a chance today to test their strong pitching statf against some real sluggers as they open their annual series against the Yankces. The Yanks warmed up for it yes- terday by collecting three home runs and seven cxtra base hiis against ‘minor league while the Robins' hurlers were limiting the Boston Red Sox to eight blows but losing the game. Jim IPaulkner, slated to return to Buf- falo, was the weak link yesterday but Ray Phelps, who jumped froin a class D team at Jacksonvillz, Fla.. to the majors, looked like alj worthy addition to hurlers. the Brooklyn New York Yankees Are Back at the Stadium New York, April 12 (—The New York Yankees are hack at th Stadium again-after a long training jaunt but for a lot of them it isn't home. Numerous introductions to the -home fans are due before to- da; encounter with Brooklyn, amgng them the presentation of 308 Shawkey as manager and of Dusty Cooke and Ben Chapman as|’ regulars. Hargrave and Edwards have been se=n here before, but Gomez, Polli, Henderson, Reese anl Karlon, who may or may not get iato the line-up, are total strangers to the Yankee fans.

The Lions, strengthened by the addition of two National Hockey league stars, King Clancy, and Hec Kilrea, defense man and wing man, respectively, of the Ottawa Senators, played sound and dashing hockey throughout. The visitors showed the effects of their long train ride from the cast. FOR BEST RESULTS USZ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1930.
