Beat New Haven In Final Squirt
Laurel Hills Win at Basketball, rs to 2O-Home Five Came
With Dash in the Last Period OupIaying the Visitors
in Fast Game-Captain Coyl the Star Scorer

With a fine burst Of speed in the
second period, the Laurel Hills came
from behind and won, 26 to 20. in
their basketball game Saturday night
at the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium against
. fast five from the New Haven Y. NJ.
G. A. The visitors had it on the locals
in average height and weight, and were
alawys in the game, looking dangerous
up to the end, as they proved they
were something in the game when they
closed the first half in the lead, IL to
s.
But between the periods. Captain
Coyl and his men worked out a
scheme of play that resulted in bonn
harding the New Haven goal with
shots from the very opening of play i'll
the second period. Little Kent Ellis,
the red headed mascot of the Laurel
Hills, also played a part in the victory,
as each one on the five took lucky
touch on his blazing poll before going
back lCT the second period and the
way they ran rings around New Ha-
ven for few minutes showed the eff
fects.
While the first period was fast, the
crowd that watched the game from the
galleries saw the real speed in the
SGCOiiu CdIllO. new EIdN6n uleu game,
once tying the score after the Laurel
Hills had taken the lead. Il to Il, and

was quickly discounted by the great
hand and eye of Captain Coyl, who
shot two foul goals and two field goals
IN quick succession in the final min
utes Of the game.
When Referee Allyn L. Brown tossed
the ball for the start of the game, Cen
ter NcKerness for New Haven got the
jump on Stanley out it amounted to
nothing as the two Laurel Hill guards
Townsend and Jackson, were on the
watch all the way through for this and
gobbled the ball when Mckerness bat
ted it off. Team play was a little lack
ing for the first few minutes, but the
Laurel Eills were first to find their
speed and Revell opened the scoring
closely followed by Coyl, with a field
goal each. Coyl also registered on a
free try, giving the Laurel Hills a lead

woke up and quickly made it to in
their favor, tTicking their opponents

Clarence Geer Loses His Life in Pa

NNews of the death by drowning Sun
day at Jewett City of Clarence Geer,
rightfielder on the Norwich Free Acad-
envy baseball team last season, will be
learned this morning with a sincere
sense Of loss on the part Of his team
mates. and by many others who knew
him in this city.
Quiet and unasSuming, he was an
earnest and Woodworking player, who
more than once in the series Of games
proved his worth to the team by a
bit of timely work in the Aeld or at
the bat In the first league game Of
the season he played a leading part in
a batting rally THAT sent three runs
across the plate in the ninth inning,
and won the game for the Academy
from Stonington High, 5 to 4. Geer,
second batter up in the ninth inning,
slashed out a triple, which scored one
run ahead of him, and this hit was
followed by two more on which the
winning runs were scored. Geer's rec
ord for that game was triple, a dosl-
lbe and g singl hen uqehHb

He was popular among his school
mates, and his untimeiy death at the
age of II will be a saddening expert

WAUREGAN JUMPS FROM
EASTERN CONNECTICUT LEAGUE.
Moosup and DayviIe Withdrew Last
Week-Norther and Southern
Leagues Likely Now.

Three teams missing and only Taft
vile and JeWett City represented at
the Eastern Connecticut Baseball
league meeting in Jewett City on Sun
day afternoon was what faced Presi-
dent John 3. Benoit when he called
the meeting to order, and the further
information was at hand that Waure-
gan, Moosup and Dayville, former
members of the league, had tiocl7ed off
by themselves and were holding
meeting at the same time in Waure
gan for the purpose of forming new
league in the northern section Of the
eastern part Of Connecticut. Putnam,
it was reported, was to make the
fourth team in the new league.
The loss Of Moosup and Dayville
was not surprise to the Eastern
Connecticut league officers, since they
notified President Benolt last week
that they were going to withdraw, but
Wauresan jumped the league without
any warning. According to informa
ton that President Benoit received, ii
is Wauregan that is at the bottom
OF the secession from the Eastern Con
necticut league ranks, and he is cor
respondinsly sore, because they have
been leading him along, while all the
time, accordingto to the way he IN
derstands it, they have been dickering
over the other scheme.
Attempt to Form Southern League.
With the league disrupted as it IS
Mt present, the officers decided that
they would attempt to form a league
which WIN include Jewett City, Taft
Vile, possibly the Centrals Of Norwich,
and teams in Baltic, Westerly and
StoniDgton, and perhaps Willimantic,
This would be a compact territory,
which ought to have enough rivalry to
support their teams in good shape.
Economy in travelling expenses in the
suothern territory would also be fav-
orabIe factor. Manager Calkins Of the
Centrals is still undecided whether he
could enter a team, the whole question
depending upon the securing Of
grounds in Norwich. He has negOtia.-
tons on foot which may settle the
question this week
The officers viii set to work at once
on the formation IF the new league

Team work and pretty passing, with
Captain CoyPs accurate goal shooting,

velfs came to the accompaniment of a
fistic scrimmage in which some we'll
meant blows landed in empty air, but
the combatants were quickly pulled
apart and the game proceeded.
New Haven tied it by shooting a foul
goal, but Townsend placed the Laurel
Hills again in front with one of the
cieVerest shots Of the evening, IA to
Il. From here the play gained in
speed and the mixups were full Of life,
but better team work by the Laurel
Hills always kept four of their men
within shooting range of the New Ha-
ven goal and they drew ahead to an
IL to II lead. but New Haven had
something left and held. them safe for
the next few minutes, while the Wis
Itors crept up and passed the home
five, 10 to IS. After that, however, it
was all Norwich, and the only score
that New Haven got was foul goal,
which was the final tally If the game.
Jackson and Townsend as guards
had their TWO New Haven opponents
tied up tight, neither one succeeding in
getting more tran one basket. McKer-
ness and Smith did the best work for
New Haven, while Captain COyl was
the individual star for the Laurel Hills
