Faribault, Mimi, Feb. l0.-In most
exciting contest on the local court Shat
tuck defeated St. Thomas in the second
game in the State Athletic conference
series today by score of 81 to 26. The
play thruout was even, the Shattuck al
ways managed to keep the lead. The
first half ended II to l6 in favor Of
the cadets, and each side scored ten
points in the second half.
Shattuck proved the fastest of the
two teams and played more brilliantly
turnout. st. Thomas did better work
in guarding and had more clean throws
at the basket. O'Keefe and Blewitt
were the particular stars for st. Thorn
as. Shattuck's men did equally well.
Captain Gordon of st. Thomas lost
the chance of winning the game for his
team by missing all free throws from
foul. The lineup:

tired, and who was held in high estima-

challenge.
His Last Fight.
In 1920, at the age of 81, we find him
settling quarrel with Tom Owen in
the regulation ring, fourteen years
after his fight with Lee. Owen was 81
at the time. So it was battle Of
senile men. Owen won. For many
years after this Mendoza gave sparring
exhibitions. He raised a family Of
eleven children. His death occurred
in 1886, when he was 70 years old.

THE PUGILISTS
 LITTLE LAD WON
McGovern Whipped Nelson to a Standstill Last Night More <
 Whispers of the Plugs.

McGoyern gave Nelson a terrible beating in three rounds at the Peli- can club in Brooklyn last night while a large crowd yelled and shouted and urged the local boy on to victory.
 It was good fight. Nelson had several pounds the better of McGOv- ern, but with this exception they were fairly well matched. In the first round they mixed it Up in lively fashion. McGovern, as usual, was the aggres- sor, going right at his man and al- lowing him no time to think. They jabbed away at each other. with Me Govern landing the majority of the blows. r..
 Ill the second round. for time, Nelson seemed to have the better of it. His dogged persistence and ability to stand punishment were in his favor, and once he staggered McGovern. But the Brooklyn boy was up and at him and had him groggy in the middle of the third. Only the bell saved Nelson.
 McGovern earned the decision.
 No, it was not Terry McGovern and Battling Nelson who fought this terri ble battle. It was Phillie McGovern. a brother of the Terror, and Tommy Nelson. Terry was at the ringside, however. and cheered his little brother on to victory.

IT IS TO LAUGH
Declared Profes ional and Middletown Not Allowed to
 Play That Team.

Middletown. Feb 9-Manager Th0m- as F. Spain of the Middletown '. M. C. X. basketball team has cancelled his series of games with the Winsted team which were to have been played this winter 10 settle the amateur championship of the state, and 1t Is doubtful whether d new series of games will be arranged this season.
 Mir Spain's action was due to q communication which bc received from John F. Boyle, secretary of the registration committee of the A. \. L.. in which MT Boyle brands the Winsted team as out and out professionals and says that the X. X. |. has refused 10 grant it registration papers for that reason. Mir Boylc's letter was sent to warn Mir Spain against playing the Winsted crowd. The first game of the series was tO have been played tn winsted next Tuesday evening.
 Mir Boyle's letter states that last year the Winstcd team had some scmblan"e of being amateurs for It played under the name Of the T. X. B. sssiety of that place and the gate re- ccipts went ostensibly to that socicty the players receiving no money so far as was known. This year the situa- ton is different. The Wiustcd team simply represents" Winstcl and isn't playing under any club name. So that the organization for which 1t plays can get the money which is made. It is quite evident. however. that 1t goes to the players themselves and this. according to X. \. [, rules. brands them as professionals.

TWO LADS TO MEET.

Willie Murphy the 1O5-pound fist artist of New Britain, and Jimmie Clancy of Bridgeport have been match ed to fight to a finish within three weeks. The bout will be for $1OO a side. Clancy is one of the toughest boys in the game to-day and he has been cleaning up some of the good ones before the three-round clubs ln New York this winter.
 In bout at smoker in Hartford six weeks ago Murphy showed up well with Jack Higgins and worked as if he had q chance with any of the boys in that section. He has a wallop in each hand and if delivered right it is apt to drop any of them. The winner of the match is scheduled to meet Higgins. Jam's Walsh. of Bristol is Murphy's manager.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
WRESTLING GET YOUR TICKETS
Demand for Kelly and Kehoe Tickets Has Begun Already
 Lacy Challenge Accepted.

Tickets for the Kelly and keh0e wrestling contest will be put on sale within few days and as the gymna- sium can only accommodate between seven and eight hundred people all de siring good seats should make appli- cation at once. The general admission will be twenty-five cents as usual, re- served seats fifty cents and ringside seats sittings seyenty-tiye cents. You can purchase any of those tickets by making application to Manager Joe Lawlor of the Simonsyille Athletic club or to the sporting writer of this paper. Later the tickets will be put on sale in several places about the city so that all can get whack at them. The management does not want to disappoint any person who desires to see the match and as the hall is small. if the tickets are all sold out in advance then those that come on the night of the matches will have to be disappointed. If you file your appli- cations now and deposit your money you will be assured of sitting no matter what hour you arrive at the gymnasium.
 Remember the date of the match is Thursday evening, February 22nd, Washington's birthday. The place is the Simonsville Athletic club. The match is still the talk of the city and it is expected more money will be wagered on the main contest than was ever bet on contest of any kind in the state of Connecticut. The city is about evenly divided on the merits of the two men and it is nothing to hear of a S25 bet and as high as S1O0 d crack has been wagered on the result. Two crack prelininaries will be ar ranged for the opening contests and one of them is expected to be a star. They will be announced later.
