HARTFORD WINS AT LAST
Crippled New Britain High Basket Tossers Beaten, But Force Capitol City Five to Top Speed.

Although practically 'shot to pieces" with some of the star players debarred by faculty restrictions. and the others suffering from illness, the remnants of the New Britain High school basketball team went down to defeat at the hands of their bitterest rival, the Hartford High school five, in the local gymnasium yesterday aft- ernoon, score 20 to IT. The game was not of the parlor type, roughness necessitating the referee to call a large number of fouls on both teams. Captain Miel and Suisman were the star performers for the Blue and White team, each scoring three goals from the field and Suisman further aided in the victory by dropping three goals from the foul line. Cap tain Hubbard the star of the home five was forced to leave the floor at the end of the first half on account of illness, further weakening the team. Robb and Kallgren were the chief point getters from the home five, while Hubbard managed to score three points from the foul line.
 The game was very late in start ing it being after 5 o'clock when the referees whistle blew for the start. There was a large attendance at the game, each team having plenty of roofing strength.

EVERS WITH TANKS?
Huston Refuses to Affirm or Deny Re- port But Troy Trojan Does a Little Talking.

New York, Feb. 1o.-If Johnny Ev- CTS, captain of the Braves and former manager of the Cubs, can be waived through the National league he is likely to open the 1917 season at sec- ond base for the Yankees. As far back as last summer there were ru- nors that Evers would come here in deal for Lee Magee, but the club then scoffed at it.
 Yesterday, however, the Yankee of- ficials would neither deny nor affirm a rumor that the Yankees are dicker- ing for Evers' services. 1T would rath- CT not discuss it, said Capt Huston when asked about the rumor. Twill you deny negotiations are on to bring Evers here?" Huston was next asked. T cannot talk about it at this time, 7" said the captain.
 When Huston was asked, Could Evers be waived out of the National league?" the captain became a little more communicative and replied, Could player such as Boston might want for Evers be waived out of the American league? Perhaps that is even more important"
 Evers himself let the cat out of tho bag during his stopover in New York He came down to Gotham last We'd nesday to attend the wedding of the daughter of his former employer, Jim Gaffney. Johnny said he would be glad to play with the Yankees under Bill Donovan and take a whirl around the American league. If he comes here he doesn't want to be captain or hold any commission, but wants to give all his time to playing second base. He also thinks he could help the Yankees get in the worlds series.
 The players the Yankees are to give up for Evers has not been made pub lie, but the names of both Lee NIagee and Fritz Maisel have been mentioned.

 Failure in Studies.

Pa. in a letter to a local friend, tells of the havoc that has been wrought in the basketball. baseball and football teams at the college through the mid-year exapi- nations which have just closed. The football eleven for next season will be minus the services of two ends, two guards and a sub backfield candidate including Captain Gaston, De Losier, Daily and Taylor. Nothing has been done as yet regarding a football cap- tain. Through the loss of several players, the basketball team has dis banded.
 Dudack will be one of the candi- dates for the baseball team which will go out shortly for spring practice. The nine will be minus the services Of wilson, the star catcher, who was once a member of Connie Mack's Athletics. With such strong backstop, Dudack had looked" forward to a fine season.
 The local boy has created fine im- pression by his versatility since en- tering the Penn school. pr. Price, who was formerly coach at Trinity college, coached the football team last fall, and was one of the best boosters for Billy. On the basketball quintet, Dudack played stellar game at guard and is among the athletes to re- ceive monograms recently distributed.

JOHNSON MAY FORCE HENRY FROM LEAGUE
Senator's Star Backstop Was
 Active in Players Fraternity

Chicago, Feb. 1O.-John Henry, ton club, faces the possibility of be- ing driven out of the American league as punishment for urging members of the Baseball Players Fraternity to strike,
 President Johnson of the Ameri- can league announced yesterday that the club owners. at their meeting in New York next Thursday. will act on the proposal to pay the Washing ton club a sum of money and order the immediate release of Henry.
 Such persons are undesirable In our league" Johnson said.
 The Washington catcher has writ ten practically every player in the fraternity urging them to remain loy- al to David l.. Fultz president of the organization. and mot to sign until they get the word from Fultz." Johnson said the minor league will ignore the appeal issued by Fultz for a conference to settle the differences 'etween them and the fraternity. Clark Griffith, manager of the Washington baseball club, when in- formed of President Johnson's an- nouncement regarding John Henry, >aid his attitude toward the veteran catcher of the local team would be governed entirely by the evidence l produced at the American league | meeting in New York next Thursday. eff it is shown that Henry's activi- l ties in behalf of the Players Frater- nity have been detrimental to the league or to the Washington club, will not hesitate to vote for his re- 1 moval," Griffith said.
 l President David L. Fultz of the Baseball Players Fraternity, when shown the statement that Catcher John Henry, of the Washington club, might be released as result of his activity in connection with the play ers' organization, said he was not pre- pared to discuss at length the latest move of the American league mag mates at this time.
 "Mr. Johnsons statement would appear to imply that Henry is to be
 driven out of organized baseball. If
 this is a correct interpretation of his
 remarks" said Fultz, you can rest
 assured that the officers of the fra
 ternity will see that Henry's rights are protected" . ..- -.

Mrs. A. E. Face Was Pioneer

Mrs. "A. r.. ace was flOneer
Part of reading read at her birth
day party by Mrs. Lucy King)
On June ninth, 1887 in the town of
Hume, Allegheny, county, State of
New York, there came to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Hoyt little
girl baby. AS she had no name they
called her Almira Eunice, because of
dear friend and grandmother.
Before she was two years old her
parents with herself and a sister, two
years older, babe goodbye to rela-
tives and friends for life in the West.
With their belongings packed in a
covered wagon, team of horses and
COW they started for Michigan. The
father had been there the year before
and located a farm.
At Buffalo a steamboat took the
party across Lake Erie TO Detroit.
From this place part of the way to
Ionia was road and part Indian trail.
About half way across the horses
were traded for a yoke of oxen.
On reaching their new home these
pioneers built little shanty and lived
in it until they could build log
house and years later a large farm
house took its place.
Michigan was then a wilderness
with plenty of berries, bears, deer and
fish to furnish them food, and plenty
of bowling wolves to visit them
nights and Indians by day. Old Chief
Wabasis often visited the Hoyt home.
Later neighbors came and log
schoolhouse was built, where Almira
with her brothers and sisters received
their education with term or two in
select school. Here she was fitted
to teach district school and while
serving as schoolma'am a young man,
named VIVA. J. Face paid his respects
to her, and as the old story goes,
they were married They lived -on a
farm near Orleans most of the time
and to their home came five boys and
two girls, one boy leaving them when
small child.
Thirty years ago her husband was
called to give up this life; but with
trusting faith she has gone on.
Now these children with her fourteen
grandchildren and seven great grand
children make her welcome whenever
she comes among them. And so in
part of the words of greeting from
her grandson, "Now after these
eighty years we know her, with her
silver hair. and heart of god and iron
determination to do right, she's won
the respect and esteem Of all who
know her"
