Rubber City Basketball Quintet Play Rings Around Local Basket Toss
 ers-Leary Plays Wonderful Game

Mr. Leary left forward for the Naugatuck High school hoop tossers, had busy session yesterday after noon at the local High school gym nasium. The b. s. occurred during the progress of the game between Captain Schmidt's quintet and Naug- atuck. The boys from the Rubber City journeyed to this city with the avowed purpose of securing a Vlc- tory, and they were successful, for when the whistle blew ending the con- test the visitors had secured 31 points while the locals were annex ing 23.
 The home team was somewhat crippled by the absence of Cabelus the towering center, but even with this player in the game it would have been a hard battle for the home boys to defeat Leary & company, judging from the exhibition they put up.
 The visitors broke the ice when Zwick dropped in the ball the first count from the foul line and from this time until the end of the half, the teams alternated scoring, and the visitors finished in the fore, score IA ! to 10.
 The second half was one of the most exciting ever witnessed on the local gym floor. The visitors forwards were all over the playing territory and scored with frequency. With the score 25 to 23 against their pets, the rooters for the Hardware City five pleaded with them for basket but their enigma MT. Leary put an end to their fond hopes by scoring at this juncture, and this caused the locals to i get a case of frigid pedalitis," and the visitors continued to pile up a ! substantial lead The summary: NEW BRITAIN NAUGATUCK

This ought to be a first class spring. Johnny Evers looks five years younger than he looked five years ago, and this at least is a hunch.
 By all the laws of chance,' said Johnny, lightning should pass me by this year. Tn my case it has struck, not twice, but a dozen times, and for 1916 I should be immune"
 Fate has been picking on Johnny for so long that the process by now must be a bore.
