The Victors Snatch Victory From Jaws of Defeat In
 Closing Minutes
(Special to The Times. ]

Norwalk, Dec. 17-In one of the most hotly' contested bask etball games played here in years, New Ca naan defeated Norwa1k last night by the score of 29 to "A. The visitors turned what looked like sure defeat into a victory by caging three baskets hundred rabid fans witnessed the ous uproar as first one team and then the other took the lead.
 Left at the post during the first cred itself late in the first half and managed to tie the score at 12 all just before the whistle sounded. The locals forged ahead for @ short time in the final period, but New Canaan soon evened up the count. and took the lead with three goals from the floor in the last five minutes of play.
 Clinton and Dreyfuss did most of Norwalk's scoring, while Big George Smith, the visitors pivotal man, was a terror on both the offense and defense. Clinton received a painful injury when he slipped up during a skirmish under the Norwalk basket, and struck his head on the floor. He resumed his position after time had been called for 10 minutes. Last nights lineups were as follows: Norwa1k: Clinton, IT.; Guafneiri, If; Weafer and Cosgrove, C.: Drey- fuss, r.g.; Ashmead, Ig.
 New Canaan: Kelly, If; Hastings, If; Smith. C.; Hogan, l.g.; Cook, r.g.

Bridgeport fans will have plenty to talk about in a few days. Gene Mo Cam, newly chosen leader of our Eastern League hopefuls, is slated to arrive here early next week. and it is known definitely that he will bring with hima raft of names and ad- dresses of recruits with whom he ex- poets to manufacture a pennant win ner.
 All this was contained in state nent to The Times by President Clark Lane this morning. Lane said that, until his new pilot comes into port he wouldn't spoil things by pop ping a premature announcement. but the portliest ma aSnate of 'em all in the Eastern allowed as how McCann had hauled down several plums at the meetings of the little leaguers in New York.
 Such being the case, the boss of the. Mechanics may be expected to give us a. definite line the per sonnel who will sport the flag on their uniforms next season. So Mo Cann's arrival will be awaited with redoubled interest.
 All that Manager Gene haste do is to construct almost an entirely new team. He has intimated that he in tended getting rid of several men who have appeared to have outlived their usefulness here, and with the departure of the Grimes brothers to the big sticks he has found it no easy

ENGAGE KRICHELL
 TO WATCH BUSTERS

something new in professional base ball when they engaged Paul Kritchell as scout for college, semi-professional and independent club players. Krit- chell will have nothing to do with t1le minor leagues and in the spring W III devote himself entirely to watch ing the work of the collegians in all sections of the country.
 Kritchel1 who lives in the Bronx, will be remembered as seni-profes- sional here and a catcher with Mont real and Bridgeport, where he man aged the club.
 The Yankees yesterday issued an official announcement that Shreveport, La, had been selected as the trainin g gror-nd. That was not news, as it already had come from Shreveport.

Baseball Rialto Breezy
 With Busy Trade Winds
B JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Dec. 17-'"Trade winds waited rumors of player deals and other interesting bits of gossip up and down the Baseball Rfa.lto here today.
 With the arrival of Ban B. John son and his American League mag mates for their annual winter meeting interest in baseball affairs which Jagged Thursday as the ranks of Ma ttonal League maGnates thinned out, was renewed.
 Among the incoming American Leaguers was a young man of some reputation-Ty Cobb-by name. The Peacherino from Geor~:a dropped into town at the invitation of Presi- dent Frank Navin, of the Detrolt Americans. Navin wants Cobb to manage the Tigers and is willing to hand him a contract calling for ESQ., 900 a year. A raise of S12,OOO over what he has been receiving as a player. Cobb is only human and it is expected that he will fall tor the con- tract.
 The meeting of the American League was scheduled for the Hotel Belmont Johnson's league has not yet ratified the new National agree rnent. and this was one of the import ant items on the slate.
 The trades pulled off by Brooklyn and the Reds and the Yankees and the Red SoX have started the ball rolling.

 Before the end of the week it is r,r-actically certain that Presidents Johnson and Heydler, who will act lie fin -srtr baseball legislation from now on will confer regarding changes in the playing rules and may draw up 2 new set of regulating governing the worlds series. The National League has already gone on record tavorlns inc f continuance of the use of the gpitbalI by pitchers who have learned to depend on it. The American League, it is believed. may take like action.

Seeking Bout For
 Prince In Philly
"Doc' Bagley Wants Local Feather to Perform On
 Christmas Afternoon

Billy Prince, the local feather, may make his bow in some of the big . cities of the East ins the very near future, as Doe Bag1ey. manager of Willie Jackson, is arranging to have Prince box some good boy at Phila- de1phia on Christmas afternoon.
 Prince has been signed to meet George Proto, the New Haven favor ite. on the All-Star card to be staged at the Arena in New Haven a week from Monday night. They have agreed to box six rounds in the pre- liminary bout and are expected to furnish considerable action.
 The signing of Prince gives the card as tentatively arranged by Isaac Weiner, a Bridgeport flavor. Louis Bogash meets Sammy Goode, the Western Whir1wind, in the star bout of 1 5 rounds, while his brother, Patsy, is scheduled to hook up with Battling Repka in the semi-fna1 attraction Of ten rounds.
 Dave Fitzgerald has been engaged to referee all the bouts in New Haven and this gives general satisfaction to the followers of the sport. He has been the official in every bout of i'm portance in New Haven during the past Is years. Hugh Rorty of Hart ford will be the announcer.

job. As matters stand, McCann must build his team around a nucleus com prised of Buck Lai, Bill Skiff, Specs Hummer, Shanty House, and, per chance, Gene Martin and Eddie Len non.
 To put it more definitely, McCann will have to grab three new infielders, two or maybe three outfe1ders. at elast three pitchers, and a second string catcher to assist Skiff.
 Of secondary interest i'll be Mo Cann's revelation ia definite policy as regards such oldSters as Hank Bracket, Martin, Lennon, Marty Walsh and others. Whether he in tends casting the whole lot of them adrift and repairing from the bottom up has been a ripe topic of converse ton for the Hot Stove learue In some quarters it is believed that Manager Gene has about decided on an absolute house cleaning, and this impression was strengthened by hints that he dropped when chatting with the scrfbes ere the day he signed a Bridgeport contract.
 McCann doubtless has conducted a profitable raid on the minor leagues. He is well known and well liked in both the big sticks and the bushes and his Cincinnati connections lead us to believe that he may get some near-stars from at least this one ma jor 1eagur utfit.
 At any rate, the Hot Stove league will get plenty to talk about in a few 1ayS.
