One record, the one string team to- tai, was smashed and the single mark barely missed meeting a like fate at the hands of the crack rollers con stituting the Ace quintet in the Park City League in the match with the Kings at the Park City alleys last night.

' F BOXING magnates of this State \ would take a tip from the pro Aooter of the Louis Bogash Pete Hartley bout of the other night there would be no room for opposition of any sort to passage of Q bill legal 1zing the sport. The splendid, order ly and systematic manner in which the Derby bout was staged was in deed an accomplishment that proved conclusively that those who promoted ir knew their business and had some thing more than financial interest in the affair.
 It's been a long. long time since we attended a better conducted show Compared with some of the tourna- 1nents the writer has attended the Derby show was remarkable. The promoter displayed unusual show Tnanship-for surely none of the in ternationally famed boxing imper- earios could have done better thar did Tom Neary.
 The bouts were staged in syste- matio order and without the waste of 0 single minute. The boxers were made to understand that they were battling as gentlemen with the result that the bouts were as clean as any true sportsman would expect And then to breakup the monotony two youngsters - clever and talented brothers they were sang several popular songs and gave an exhibition of their conception of the manly art.
 We hope that Connecticut promo ters will take a tip from Weary in the future and copy his methods, for they indeed are a credit to the much wrongly abused sport.

T ARRT Williams meets Jim Golf l. fey in Jersey City, Monday, Which means. of course. that the local blonde heavyweight will have his hands full, for Coffey Is still a partly good performer. However, we don't expect Coffey to win. The writ CT saw Coffey cross punches with Bat Levinsky in Boston two weeks ago and the former turned out to be the same scrapper of two years ago, per haps a bit more determined and un- afraid
 But Coffey does not relish an op . ponent who will consistently keep on top of him. Somehow or other th.s sort of chap perplexes the New York Irishman. LevinslSy covered every move Coffey made in that Hub fight, with the result that he came out q clean winner. Jim seemed powerful Occasionally he landed a blow, but only to quickly step back to the ropes as Levinsky rushed in on him.
 If Larry can keep the Irishman against the ropes or jab him about the ring, he will not only stall Cof- fey. but will be paving a way for a quick victory. Jim thinks too much of that jaw to be himself when an opponent is following him.

NOTHING NEW IN THIS COUNTRY.

Saturday afternoon in the gym the High school lads will tackle the Ros- enbaurn prep school team of Milford. This will be the first time these teams have met this season and it looks as if the local team is in for g. good bat tie
 Joe Murphy, captain ot the High school team, has not as yet decided who he will use in tontght's game, but the probable lineup is as follows: Miacco and Blade, forwards; Murphy, center, and Hickey and Maher, guards.
 Blade, the forward of the local team, is one of the fastest basketball play CTS seen in these parts in many a day and in a few years will be ready to play professional basketball.
 Another school basketball game carded for this afternoon is the con test between the Barnum and Lincoln school fives for the championship of the Recreation League. Each team has won four games and lost none so far this season and this afternoons game promises to be hummer.
 Blade is yet a youngster and also has a lot to learn, but one thing is certain and that is that he is easily the crack shot Of the team. Benny causes more trouble for the visiting teams by his ability to make shots from any angle of the floor than the rest of the team put together.
 In one of the fastest games of bas- ketban played by the Grammar school team this season, the Lincoln basketball five defeated the fast Barnum school quintet yesterday a es Recreation hall. The score was 2 g to g.
 The game was for the champion -N ship of the Recreation League andxs was witnessed by a large crowd $ Flynn and WheIan played the best game for the Lincoln quintet whiloz. Hartley featured for the losers

D OIL Perritt of the Giants is J through with baseball. Poll cares nothing about the game now. And who can blame him? Listen to what the Associated Press correspon- 5ent has to say relative to the cause If Perritt's retirement: mot "'Poll Perritt, pitcher de luxe whwith the Giants, will in the flu ton ture devote all his time to the
 developments of oil lands that he -ou now owns. Not so very long ago rid oil was found on Perritt's prop CT erty and 1t Is the intention of the pt popular ball player to spend all his time turning the fluid into '' money"
 "F'liud" is good, but we have a hunch that the money end of the project Is better. Baseball fans who have watched Poll wish him all the luck in the world. Perritt always did his best He was a credit to the game, but during recent seasons he has been slowing down. so his retire ment, while not a pleasant piece Of news, Is demonstrative of the good common sense he has always dis played.

They had dgGred on taking the midnight ex- press out of New York to New Haven. The bout terminating unusually early and with more than an hour to waste. Lew and his friends emerged to a Newark ice cream mill
 They left Newark shortly after II o'clock that night. but as luck would have it an accident in the tubes held up the train about 20 minutes. It was 11:45 when the tube train rolled into the 33rd street station.
 The boys rushed to Times Square and there took the shuttle train for the Grand Central Terminal, arriving there just as the New Haven train was pulling out. The sight of the departing train was far from being Q pleasant one to Lew and his friends. Disgusted with the thought that he would have to invest a deuce on q room in the wicked city, Lew rushed up to the ticket window in command of an apparently young man.
 This is a fine ratlroad!" complain ed Lew
 "Whats ailing you?" asked the chap.
 'rwhats the matter? Everything That's what" And then he burst forth with the command: Tell me when the next train for New Haven leaves"
 "Right after the engine" replied the young man sarcastica1ly as he slammed down the window that wish
