Waters.
 ed to book the gree, teams that
 he has brought here this season.
 Which teams will appear here in the near future Is a problem tnat Manager Leavy alone can solve, but today he said he would make no defi- nite announcement until he had com 0leted arrangements with a certain -eam It Is intimated that Jason Wright's tnsonians will in all prob ability be seen in action here in special game before the curtain Is droyped on the 191S-19 season. The Ansonians are exceedingly popular here. but the Ribbons, who lost the recent championship series, are de- terTnined and insistence in their dec Iaration that they can defeat the up State boys.
 Whether there vii be another Rib bonLAnsonia game here this season depends wholly upon the attitude taken by the manager of the State champions. Jason Wright, however. is known to have said that he would like to take his team down here for another game. While Jason has man aged to put out a winning coT@bina- tion financially he has suffered tre- mendously and another game here with the attendanc that marked the 1 series games will at least give him aD even break.
 AnsonianSs demanded q, fast team 1 and when Wright got spunk ] enough together and gave them d team they stayed at home. Er- thusiasn over the Ribbon series
 was at Q fever point, but at that it was necessary to transfer all
 the games to Colonial Hall here 1 But this move was necessitated
 not because of a lack of attend ] ance in Ansonia, but rather be i cause of the size of the hall there,
 which was not sufficiently large to
 accommodate all who sought to
 see the games.
 But Jason is anxious to add a little more money to his seasons earnings and as he needs the mazuma in a good way, no surprise will be oc7a- stoned if another special match is ar ranged between the two Combna- tiors Anyway Bridgeporters would welcome such 3. game, for a better team than the Ansonians has not stopped off at this station.
 Last night the Parsons came mp from New York grabbed off 37 goals five nore than the Blue Ribbons, and boarded train back for the metropolis. All this was done in the a was a bitter pill of defeat that the Ribbons had to swallow for when the game started they were selected by the wiser set to win over the Goth antics. The New Workers, however, com bined speed with clever shooting
 and aggressiveness. The game at
 times was marred by careless
 passing, but on the whole it was
 aX~itiT1p- 0i7 sort bat
 isfv any congregation of basket
 ball enthusiasts
 Tom ThOrp, the veteran referee and writer from New York, was on the job and guided the game. He ref creed a masterIy game and none of his findings were questioned by either side. Ward Brennan was billed to work, but he sent on word that it was impossible for him to get away.
 The Bridgeporters fought a deter mined battle from the outset of the affraY, but the clever passing and shooting of the New Workers proved q trifle too fast and puzzling for the lads from the big town. The latter were well trained and prepared for !khe toughest sort of battle. They went right into the game without los ing a second. Everybody w@s on his toes and the locals were pretty well guarded all the while.
 Leonard. the fast Parson cen
 ter, played a spectacular game,
 although at times his tactics did
 not meet with the approval of
 the crowd. The crowd. however,
 can be forgiven. for there was really no cause for dissatisfaction
 over the work of this player. He
 was anxious and determined and
 in aiding the visitors to win oc-
 casionally turned a trick that to
 the spectators seemed uncaIled
 for However, 1t was precisely
 this style that puzzled his oppon-
 eat
 In the second half Leonard slowed down trifle. He was literally the life of the game in the first stanza, leading in the goal scoring with four baskets and two fouls for a to- tai of 10 points. IH the second frame he was lost and could not push the ball through the basket. He at tempted to count from every angle. but the pace was too strong for him But while the winners were at -
 top speed. the Ribbons. too, were
 in fairly good physical condition.
 They can offer no alibi for they
 were defeated by a trOure of gen tIemen. I have yet to hear a
 manager or boxer acting as you
 said he was being treated only 9 short while ago. The Ribbons were extremely careful-too much so, perhaps. in their efforts
 to nail the ball and rush up the floor with i the team found it next to impossible to open it? Clinton. Ripley and Sedran also played spectacularly. The first men ] toned player was used only in the ! second half. But he, too. threw away several seemingly grand oppor- tunities to be home. For Bridgeport Souls attracted most attention. Drey- fus gave a good account of himself
