QUITS IN FACE
OF A TRIMMING

Much to the disap prominent of the
big crowd at the armory last evening
the basketball contest between the
Ansonia High and Norwalk High
School teams for the championship OF
the southern end of the State was
called off. all because of an aggivat-
ed case of "coldfeetis" on the part OF
the Norwalk manager and players.
With the score 81 in favor of the An
sonia school boys. the Norwalks OBJ
jected to decision of Referee John
Leavy; manager Of the Bridgeport
that a ball knocked from the center
of the court by both centers. after
placement. and knocked out of bounds,
should again return 20 placement. The
Norwalk players held differently, stat
ing that the ball should be put in play
from the side of the court where it
went out of bounds. The Norwalk
players and their rooters were of the
opinion that they were being imposed
upon by the referee. and quit cold.
In order not to disappoint the crowd
Manager Leavy agreed that he would
quit as referee and select another of
fetal. To this the Norwalks would
not agree. nor would they agree to
start play all over again with the
score at 90. to which condition the
Ansonia players acQuiesced.
The whole truth of the matter was
that Ansonia as she was playing last
evening, was too speedy for Norwalk.
the members Of the latter team saw
defeat coming their way. and to avoid
such a calamity. took the course
which lay open to them. and for
which they were condemned by every
fan at the armory last evening.

Bridgeport stumbled into heart
breaking defeat, 1897, at the armory
last evening at the hands of the
league winners. Had the residents
cornered the victory a play-off with
Derby for second honors would not
now be necessary.
A crowd of 700 bowling, shouting
and anxious fans turned out to wit
chance during hostilities to root hard
and long for the locals, for at one
time the Bridgeport being way in the
rear, crawled into a tie with the visit
ors and even succeeded In placing
themselves on the better side of the
tally sheet by good margin The
Goddess of Luck was with the visit
ors. Seemingly impossible shots by
the Elm City lads took to the center
of the basket, while the locals had
difficulty in even hitting the iron
ring.
At the start the ball had hardly
gotten out of Referee Doc Hulrs
hands when Bill O'Malley spilled the
sphere into the New Haven basket.
The visitors grabbed IL points before
the locals could annex their next
count. Fast and clever work was the
rule throughout the first period, with
New Haven leading all the way
through, finishing at the end of the
first twenty minutes with the score in
their favor, 21-17.
In0 S6COIlQ pGTIOO witnessed a re-
versal of form on the part of the To-
Gals. The boys started playing hard,
but not rough. The game was fast
and furious, with each club striving
hard for a victory. Exerting them
selves, the Bridgeports came into a
tie with the visitors at 1925, then
advancing into the fore ranks, until
at one time the residents seemed to
have the game slowed away when
they led at 1929. With but few
moments to play, New Haven picked
up courage and shot five goals In
quick succession, just enough to de-
eide the contest.
Guaneri started in at left half for
the locals, but had to give way to
Miller after only a few moments play.
His lip, which was opened in last
weeks game by a ringer on the
Naugatuck team bothering him con-
siderably Al Burdick who has been
out of the game for many weeks with
injured knee, attempted to resume
hostilities, but was forced to retire
after bad spill. The line up and
