MIDDLETOWNk K. OF [. BOW TO NEW BRITAIN
Patched Up Locals Experience
 Little Difficulty in Winning

The local Kaceys opened the State league season here last night at the State Armory, opposing Captain Dan- ny Ahern's Middletown Kaceys. 4S to 21. It was makeshift five that Man ager Pilz trotted out to oppose the down state boys, with Captain Kilduff, Campbell and Crean out of the lineup. owing to another attraction in this city. However, the substitution of Jimmy Murphy and E Restefi, did not hurt the locals chances any, The visi- tors looked like formidable quintet when they trotted out on the floor for practice. However, ir was noticeable that the team lacked practice, hall conditions in, Middietown preventing the team from getting in much team work practice.
 Tom Reynolds Stars.
 To Tommy Reynolds, Dudack and C. Restelli, went the scoring honors of the match. Reynolds mad a deadly aim on the basket resulting in nine field goals during the fray. Dudaek never played better basketball before a local audience. He was everywhere in the opening half, registering six field goals. c. Restelli tuned in his customary fine game, tossing four field and eight foul goals. Jimmy Murphy's close guarding kept Cahill and McCabe pretty we'll covered during the entire evening. E. Restelli, .n the short time he was in the contest, gave promise of developing into a strong defensive player. Maher did fairly we'll at cen- ter.
 Ahern Slowing Up.
 For Middletown, Cahill and McCabe, were the best performers. The veteran Danny Ahern has slowed up consid- erably and the eye he once had on the basket, seemed to DC dimmed last night, Judging from the manner in wht5h he missed foul goals. There was a day when Sir Daniel, was not blow inS' many of his free tries.
 At the outset of the game, Manager Pilz introduced the players on both teams, and Grand Knight Lawrence P. Mangan started the hostilities by tossing the first bah in the air. Nate Avery handled the game in fine style. New Britain. Middletown. Right Forward

SPIT BALL MAY RETURN
Matter of Allowing Pfcllers to Use Moist Delivery is Referred to Ad- visory Council.

New York, Dec. 15.-If Judge Lan- dis. John Heydler and Ban Johnson as the Advisory Council agree. the spit ball will be seen in all its glistening glory in the big leagues for several years.
 At the annual meeting of the Ma tional League yesterday, after sharp discussion the owners voted to refer the question of further use of the spitbaIl to the Advisory Council with the recommendation that the men now certified as spitball pitchers be allowed to continue its use during the rest Of their lives as pitchers.
 This means that Dick Rudolph and Dana Fillingim of the Braves: Bur- leigh Grimes and Clarence Mitchell of the Robins; Phil Douglas of the Giants; Willie Doak and Harvin Good win of the Cardinals, and Ray Fisher of the Reds in the National League; together with Jack Quinn of the Yanl,s; Stanley Coveleskie of the In- dians; Urban Shocker and Allan Soth- oron of the Browns, and Allen Russell of the Red SoX in the American League, can still use the moist de- livery

NEW ALLEY RECORD
 IS SET BY LARSON
Bowler With Artificial Hand Rolls Up t74 Score at Rogers

Charles Larson, Now Britain's famous crippled bowler. established a new alley record last night at Rogers Recreation Building. when he scored t74 in his attempt at a new record. There was n good sized crowd on hand to witness tho attempt, and Larson was rendered thunderous applause for his stunt. During his night string, Lar son scored three strikes and four spares. His strikes came in a cluster of three in the second. third and fourth box. The spares were made in the first. fifth. ninth and tenth box.
 How 1t Was Done
 The feat of setting a new record was accomplished as follows.
 121. lao. 139. 15s. 174
 MT. Larson was the victim of an unfortunate accident while working at a Hartford factory nearly two years ago. He was an enthusiastic bowler previous to this time. and it was the right hand that suffered in the acci- dent. 1t seemed as though Larson's bowling days were over. Friends ad- vised him to try his left hand at the sport, but Larson had other plans. He whittied out a piece of wood, an artificial hand which he can adjust to his wrist. It consists of four fingers. shaped fn a manner of a clutch that enables him to grasp the ball firmly. His work on the alleys during the past few months has been re- markable. and several times he has bowled over the country mark in competition.
 Bills stars Win
