The New Britain High school bas-
ketball team will play the team OF the
Bristol High, Friday afternoon, at
4:3O, in the local gymnasium. The To-
cal team was defeated by small mar
gin in Middletown last week, but the
showing of the New Britain team was
above expectations, owing to the fact
that they have had little practice. In
the game Friday, Coach Bearce will
probably start Wallln and Kehoe in
the guard positions with Tommy Rey-
nolds and Hubbard as forwards. and
Sechrest as center. The showing Of
Reynolds in the Middletown game has
put him high above the other candi-
dates for forward.
Physical Director Moorhead and
Coach Bearce, are planning for the in
PRODUCTION of a number of new lines
of athletics in the near future. If ar
engagements can be made with the Y.
M. C. A., a swimming team will be
organized. Coach Bearce is rated as q
first class swimmer and diver, and
will coach the team. 1t Is also planned
to have an ice hockey team this year.
The track team will not meet again
until next spring when it is likely that

WEEGHMAN BUYS
PHILLlES' BATTERY
Alexander and Kilhfer Become
Cubs Property for $4,000

New York, Dec. 12.-President
Charles H. Weeghman OF the Cubs
launched his promised surprise at the
Waldorf last evening when he secured
Grover Cleveland Alexander and
Catcher Bill Killifer from the Phil
lies for a sum which is said to be
about $4,000. Besides tho cash
consideration, the Phillies will get
Pitcher Mike Prendergast and Catch
er Dilhoffer from the Cubs.
After a quiet day, during which all
sorts of rumors echoed through the
hotel, Weeghman did the dramatic
thing and waited until the last min
ute before making his big announce
ment. The news was a genuine sur
prise to the baseball world because
no one dreamed that William F..
Baker, president OF the Phillies,
would think of selling his great pitch
'er.
Last season Alexander refused to
sign his contract with the Phillies I'M
til he had been offered $4,000 for
three years. This contract was
deemed by the Philadelphia club too
much for one player during these I'M
certain war times, so when Weegh-
man made his big offer for the great
pitcher 1t was promptly taken up.
Alexander ranks as the greatest
pitcher in the game at the present
time. This season he won over thirty
games, and in accomplishing this feat
for the third time he equaled rec
ord which has been made in major
league baseball only by Christy
Mathewson when he was with the

Alexander has been pitching since
| 1898, when he broke into baseball as
a member of the Central City, Neb.,
club. He was born in Elba, Neb., in
1887. From Central City he went to
Galesburg and then to Indianapolis
and Syracuse. In 1911 he joined the
Philadelphia club and by his great

Metropolitan Association at Annual
Meeting Authorizes Payment of Sum
to Red Cross-Omccrs Are Elected.
New York, Dec. 12.-Acting on the
advice of President J. B. Coles Tappan,
the members of the Metropolitan Golf
Association at their annual meeting
held last night at 40 Wall street, au-
thorized Treasurer George H. Barnes
to turn over to the American Red
Cross Association the associations war
fund of $58,52O, for the purchase and
equipment of ambulances.
President Tappan, in favoring this
disposition Of the fund, called atten-
ton to recent published statements
which made it clear that many organ
izations in collecting war funds have
paid out heavy commissions. thus re-
ducing the net amounts available for
the stated purposes of war aid.
Mr.. Tappan said he felt that a GER
tain way to avoid such a circumstance
would be to turn the fund directly over
to the Red Cross.
These officers were chosen for the
ensuing year: Cornelius J. Sullivan,
president: e. Mortimer Barnes, vice
president; A. II. Pogson, secretary;
George H. Barnes, treasurer. James
A. Tying, Charles H. Brown, Wilson IS.
Kinnear, Walter Brown and James
II. Souter were elected members of the
executive committee.
Next years championship tourna-
ments, if not again postponed, will be
held as follows: Amateur, Brooklawn
Country Club; professional. North
Shore Country Club; junior, Siwanoy
Country Club, If that club makes ap-
plication; otherwise, Richmond Coun-
trv Club. The links selected for next
years contests are the same as were
selected last year.
During the meeting a member Of the
st. Andrews Club announced that that
organization had more than $4,000
raised for purchasing ambulances and
would gladly turn this money over to
the metropolitan fund If the associa-
ton would accept it.
