BROWN AND kUNZ
 ID BATTLE TONIGHT
Arena A. (. Promoters Perform Like Lightning Change Artists

New Haven, Jan. 21-Through an arrangement made late Saturday night by the management of the Arena A. C., the proposed 20-round champion ship battle between "Battling'' Kunz of South NorWalk and Chic Brown of this city, will be staged this evening in the Arena at the corner of State and Wall street. That the bout will at tract 9 mammoth crowd there is no doubt, and it is expected that boxers will furnish boxing pyrotechnics dur ing the time they are in the enclosure. Both boys have claShed several times, and to date Kunz holds one decision over Brown, due to an unfortunate ac- cident sustained by the Elm City lad when he broke his arm in November 1915, thereby losing the state light weight championship to Kunz. Since then there have been two battles each resulting in even honors.
 Over the long distance route, the friends of Brown are certain that their favorite will be able to do himself full justice and annex the Connecticut lightweight title. By virtue of his victory over Young Blades of Woon- socket, R. l., several months ago, Brown has been hailed as the New England lightweight champ. Wheth- CT Connecticut is considered out of this zone or some of the battlers in and around Boston are not listed in New England, has never been deter mined. according to the title given Brown, but that is neither or there, concerning tonight's fray. Whichever scrapper wins tonight will claim the New England honors, and will stand ready to defend them.
 The semi-final bout is one of 10 rounds between Pete Hartley "The Durable Dane" in L. Publicity F'lynn's camp and Bobby North the sensa- tionaI lightweight, and former spar ring partner of Champion Leonard. This muss looks like a corker. The curtain raiser will bring together Battling Greene of Hartford and Joe Currie of New Haven. Currie should win this battle in easy fashion, judg- ing from the caliber of boxers the Capitol City has trotted out during tho past few years, Dave Fitzgerald will referee with "Roaring Red'' Ror- ty performing the barking honors.

Y. M (. A. BASKETBALL
Nutmegs Remain Unbeaten in Satur- day Night Basketball League kamels Play in Usual Form.

The Nutlnegs once more demon- strated that they are the crack quin- tet of the Saturday Night Basketball league holding forth at the Y. M. C. A., by downing the Ramblers in a one-sided contest Saturday evening, score B to 16. Charlie Miller, the Hans Wagner of local basketball circles, was much in evidence, scoring eight baskets from the field and three from the foul 1ine That de- pendable left wing of Miller's still re- talns it's accuracy. Reynolds, Sic grlst and kallgren, also put up a brand of basketball that was far too much for their opponents. There was very little excitement in the game The second game of the evening, was between the Senecas and the Kamels, and resulted as usual in a defeat for the cellar occupants. Dur ing the first part of the contest there was plenty of action, but the pace told on the aged members of the KafeIs toward the end with the result never in doubt. For the winners Kelly Walters and Abrahamson played well while Walthers and Martin did what ever playing was contributed by the defeated quintet. While the outlook is

TIGERS STILL HOPE
pEircotonians Confident Aquatic Team Will Make Excellent Showing in Aquatic Events.

Princeton, N. J., Jan. 21.-With the swimming season near the halfway mark Princeton enthusiasts are hop ing for at least one individual cham pionship through the work of Bedros Kazanjian, elected captain for the present season, who is showing better form than ever before in the diving event.
 Kazanjian has been a member of the Tiger swimming team for two years and his work has been consis- tent, for nearly every meet he has en- tered he returned a point winner. He won first place in the two Tiger meets held this year against c. c. ". Y. and Pennsylvania.
 The Tigers also have an excellent chance to win another individual championship in the plunge through the efforts of Dick Kinnard, despite the mediocre showing in the Penn tank, when he was nosed out by his Quaker competitor Kinnard's best mark at Philadelphia was only sixty six feet, netting him only second place. But in both his competitive trials in the Tiger tank against c. c. ". Y. and the freshmen the Princeton plunger has passed the seventy-foot mark.

JOHINIS0N'S PLAN
 SHOULD HELP GAME
Ab0iShnent Of Player Limit Dur ing War, Meets With Approval

New York, Jan. 21-The announce ment made by Ban Johnson last Sat urday that the American league would abolish it's player limit for the duration of the war is a, highly sen- sible idea. The plan is the best the league president has advocated since the country entered the world con- f1ict. lt is a splendid war measure, one that will do more to help the national pastime during a period of unrest. than anything yet suggested by major league leaders.
 The question as to what would be- come of players during their period of service with the colors was one of the most perplexing the owners faced. There were only two ways out Of it either to do away with the player limit or permit clubs to carry active and inactive players, making a new class for players in the na- tional service.
 The method adopted by the Amer ican league not only protects the en- listed players during the war but protects the respective clubs as well.
