(Special to The Bulletin.) ‘Willimantic, Jan. 21.—The Emeraid basketball team appeared in new suits Friday evening and lost to the cham- pion Company G team of Manchester, 20-36 on their home floor. The suits ‘were quite natty, consisting of blue pants, and blue and white striped jer- seys and stockings. A ‘While this “hoodoo” was not re- sponsible for the loss of the game, it contributed in a measure, for several times the local boys were misleq by the similarity in the colors of the two teams to passing directly to a Com- pany G man. The game started off against the locals, and they seemed to lose their “eyes” entirely as the score went against them. Company G show- ed some excellent passing, shooting, and blocking and had_all, the locals stopped, but “Scotty” Higgins, who scored more than one-half their points. Johnscn, Horan, Finegan and Martin each dropped four through the hoop. The game was fast and at times Touzh, but-there was little intentional roughing. ~ The visitors got the best of the fouls, shooting 4 to 2 for the Emeralds. The unpleasant feature was the “rooting” of many of the crowd for Manchester, due, it is supposed, to the little argument last week about play- ing -Madllen on the local team. Mad- den is a member of Company G team and has appeared twice in the Em- erald’s lineup this season. . The play- Weakness of Previous Session.

Stanford and the University of Cali- ia have agreed to renew athletic ions. The Stanford alumni open- the “way by wise suggestion. If these two universities send athletie teams “to_the intercollegiates this spring, they are likely to ‘“eat up” | many points as a California combina tion even if indévidually are not really leading contenders for the cup. Captain Huston, one of the owners of the Yankees, is very enthusiastic about his team’s chances this season, and says: “The signing of Magee makes our outfield complete, unless Manager Donovan sees fit to place him in the infleld, and I believe we will be on the hunt for the pennant right from the drop of the flag. Magee is a great player and will bolster up our fteam considerabi; University of Pennsylvania under- graduates will engage in no more class fights.

Realizing that he has a lot of recruits to educate in the spring, he figures on going South much earlier than Mareh 15. It is the fact that his young pitchers all lack control -that bas determined him to get them in ac- tion in_the South as early as _possible. The Mackmen pitchers gave more passes than any other set of twirlers in the American league last season. The Syracuse club of the New York State league, is anxious to have Fred Rieger, the former star Hartford'| pitcher, return to the club. . Rieger proved a favorite with the Syracuse fanc last season, and ranked as the best hurler on the club. His work enabled the Buffalo club to sign him, enabled the Buffalo Bisons to sign him, but it is understood that Pat Don- ovan’s club is overburdened with ma- terial and Rieger will not likely be retained. - While Norman Taber rightly holds the werld’s record for the mile run by reason of his performance in the Har- vard stadium when he ran the distance in 4m 12 3-5s, the point has been well taken that the record books should give both the comperitive and paced records and that this should be a gen- eral rule covering all events. It is only fair to the man who made his record in an actual race, and it is dnstructive to all followers of thletics, who have to refer to record books.
