CRESCENTS TO PLAY AT NEW HAVEN TONIGHT The Crescent basketball team of Taftville will play jts hardest game tonight against the All Stars of New Haven at that place. A New Haven paper says the following about the two teams: Morris Frankel has secured the ser- vices of three of the greatest basket- ball artists in the country. Jakey Ful- ler; Dave Wassemer and Chris Harvey make up a trio that can almost beat any combination single handed. These basket-tossers have performed in nearly every large city in the United States. While on their tour across the continent and back during the lat- ter part of last year, they’/won every |game of the 46 contests that they played -in. Jakey Fuller is one of the freaks of the court today, he is only five feet four and a half inches in height and is a marvel in dribbling and shooting baskets,.while Wassemer and Harvey stand second to none as floor workers and short and distane shooting. Frankel has one more pl er that he will surprise the fans with when they see him perform, a man that is known to every basketball lover of this city, and who will no doubt be the star of the contest. The Crescent Athletic club are with- out a question the greatest quintet in New England. During the past 18 years they have won the champion- ship of New England for ten ars. The bright star of this team is Denny| Murphy, substitute catcher of the Newl York American baseball club, and pos-| itively play a guard position against| Frankel's All Star aggregation. The; forwards are taken care of Capt. Belair and White both of whom are very popular with the fans of north- ern Connecticut, while the pivot pos- ition will be none other than Slim; Vickery, one of the fastest centers in| these parts, while the other guard will be taken care of by Smith, a player who will make a busy night for any forward he plays against. Bobby Hertz will referee. DISPUTE BREAKS UP EASTERN CONN. BOWLING LEAGUE The Eastern Conn. bowling league which has been in operation since the first of last November has been bro- ken up owing to a dispute arising be- tween the Danielson and Moosup teams in the league. The Moosup| {team protests several of the games| that have been rolled at the Danielson | alleys, claiming that the alleys which |the games were rolled upqn were not of regulation length. A meeting of the league was recent- ly held at Plainfield and the league voted to disband as no agreement or settlement of the dispute could be; reached. Several of the other teams in the league say that they rolled on the short alleys but at the time supposed| that they were of regulation length.| > Attend CIAL : SCHOOL Special Classes Now Forming Phone 1431 Near Post Office OVERHAULING AND REPAIR WORK » OF A-L KINDS !

Dempsey has many. friends among the sporting editors and boxing critics and when approached recently on the subject of the champion’s services during the war many editors swung indiscriminately on Jess Willard, Fred Fulton, Jack. Britton, Johnny Kilbane and Ted Kid Lewis for not going to war either. Several of them took a crack at Benny Leonard on the ground that the lightweight title holder was in no danger in giving boxing lessons to army novices, which, it was assert- ed, was his sole duty in the army. Jack Kearns, Dempsey’s manager, a “slacker.” Kearns pointed out that during he war Dempsey was classified in the draft, but was not called, which was not his fault. He also comment- ed upon the services of Dempsey in the two shipyards, and the various bouts in which he figured, fought for the benefit of charity. Some of the sport writers think that Dempsey’s war record would never have been attacked if Kearns had kept his mouth shut. Others want the| champion ruled out 6f the ring and all| other “pugs” that did not go to war.| One sport writer in particular says| that the otifer champions with the ex-| ception of = middlekeight champion Mike O'Dowd did about as much as Dempsey in he war and he points out that Fulton was allowed to box in New Jersey a few nights ago and that the big plasterer did not go to war. Another sport writer says that every time Kearns opens his mouth he makes a fool out of Dempsey. Toj some extent this is true but who can deny that Kearns isn't handling the cha;npion’s business affairs to a nic- ety? John E. Madden, probably the most| extensive breeder of race horses in| America, will retire as a breeder Jan- | uary 22, when he will sell at Fiam- burg Place 100 brood mares and 25! yearlings.
