lyceum, festivals or chautauqua in
practically every town Of the west.
Several hundred people are employed
the year around and approximately
three and third million people in
the western states attended their
iyceum and chautauqua assemblies
during the past year. Offices are
also maintained in Calgary, Alberta

1t is expected that the Canadian de-

In Portland interview the other

White and have felt that the
lyceum and chautauqua was too big
an institution to be operated for
private profit. 1t has been our dream
to place 1t on bigger, broader basis,
one purely of service / believe our
reorganization has effected this. Now
the lyceum and chautauqua can truly
take its place with the school, the
college and the church-an institu-
tion of the common people,"

Crashoes Roll
 Walnuts Over
Dugan's 65 Yard Run F'ea- lures Great Football Strug-
 gle at Newfeld Park

By defeating the Wa1nuts, 13 to 0, in a football game for the champion ship of the city, the Crashoes not only won the championship title but they won considerable money as side bet and many other individual bets. The Crashoes played a great overhead game and not once during the entire struggle was their goal in danger The chief feature of the struggle was a 65 yard run Of Dugan, making the second touchdown.
 The first touchdown was made in the opening period. The Crashoes kicked off but after several plays the Wa1nuts were forced to give up the ball on downs. They recovered again on tumble, but were forced to kick and the Crashoes then started a march up the field.
 Hurley, right ha1fback of the Crashoes, was thrown for a loss, but Gn the next play went around left end for 25 yards Trainor netted ten more and a forward pass. Hurley Trainor went through center for six more and the following play through right tackle netted IS yards and put the ball on the Walnut two yard line.
 Hurley took the ball to the goal line, but it didn't go over and Train or was called upon to make the touchdown, going through center. Hurley failed at goal.
 h the second period the .Crashoes carried the ball to the Walnut five the third period Dugan got in his long run, while the fourth period saw the Crasho outfit take the ball to the Walnut IS ward line.

Worlds Championship Title In Bantam Glass to Be De cided Wednesday Night In Madison Square
 Garden
By Jack Veiock.

New York, Dec. 20-Joe Lynch, New York's popular aspirant to the bantamweight championship, will find out this week whether or not he has been chasing a rainbow.
 Lynch will get his first chance at the coveted title over the decision route Wednesday night when he meets Champion Pete Herman in a 15-round title bout at Madison Square Garden.
 Confidence is Lynch's middle name. He feels sure that he will wear the cham pi onshfp on his brow. His con tfence has a foundation in the fact thath is admitted to be the best bantam on Herman's trial and that he gained a popular decision ever Herman in a ten-round no-declS1on bout at Waterbury a little over year ago.
 Since capturing the title from Kid Williams in 1917. Herman has de- fended it but once in a decision bout when he met Frankie Burns in 20- round bout in New rleans How ever, the cham pion is confident that he can take care of his crown for he has already signed to meet Jimmy Wilde in a title bout in London Jan 14, and has arranged to sail for Eng land next thursday, the day following his bout with Lynch
 Herman thinks well of Lynch, too
 ''He is easily the best of cpntenders for my tttie." said the bantamweight champion today. ''That's one req, son why I am giving him shot al the championship before I go to Eng land to meet Wilde. I do not wan1 it said that took the trip abroad tt duck a title bout on this side.
 "As said before, think Lyncf is quite a fighter. I also think I car lick him. I've fought him three times, once here, once in Philade1 phia. and once in Waterbury. hear he has improved a lot but that: quite a bit of all right with me
 The bout between the little fellow is causing a great amount of irteres and it is expected to draw the big erest house that has eversbeen ar tracted by match between bantam in the past.

Stamford Shows
 Blue Ribbons In
 League Contest
Norman and Smith of Visit OTIS Display Great Eyes
 for the Hoop

Stamford defeated the Blue Rib bons, 36 to 30, in Colonial hall. in the first game of the Connecticut State Basketball league last night, and it was the first defeat of the Ribbons this season. Great team play and accurate shooting enabled the visitors to run up a lead which the Ribbons could not overcome. George Nor man of the visitors collected seven baskets that came from different an- gles and his one foul goal gave him 15 points.
 George Smith, center of the visitors, regarded by many as the best man in the league caged five baskets and one foul and his general all around playing was of high order.
 For the Ribbons, Eddie White and Sedran played finely, but Friedman, who usually shows himself in every game. was unable to last night be- cause he was carefully guarded. Nu- merous fouls were called. The next home game will be between the Rib bons and NorwalBs. The summary of last nights game follows

when a deputation Of BFid geport clubsters headed by Joe hackwray and Ty Hettinger went to New York to see if he really was all they. claim ed him to be. This committee returned was all that, and more. What was more surprising, both Thackwray and Hettinger, conceded to be among the most critical of Bridgeporters, aired the opinion that Horemans would de- feat aoppe. Of course, this was all most treason, but their prediction seems to have been borne out to some extent by the spectacular way in which the Belgian has been perform ing ever since he landed and over came the attack of 1andsickness.
 Quite a keen duel had ragged for some time between the Bridgeport and Algonquin clubs for the posses sion of Horemans, but the Cannon streeters beat their rivals to the wire.

GREAT ATTRACTION

The exhibition will be of increased interest at this time, because Hore- mans will make one of his few ap- pear res before he engages in his dispute with our own Willie HopDe for the championship of the world. Bridgeport is indeed lucky to See the Belgian cue wizard so soon after his arrival in this country.
 Not only will this exhibition be in- teresting just because it will give the experts @ chance to compare his wares with Hoppes but there is the element of the freakish in his play ing, because he is a left-hander. Horemans is the only wron gsider who has am ounted to much in the billiard game, but from what they tell us he can use that offsfde arm of his in ex- traordinary fashion.

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-12-20

It wouldn't seem possible that any athlete could be too fast to play base ball, and yet it has happened-hap- pened twice. There was Jimmy Cal 1ahan, for instance. When they put Cal on the infie1d, he started SD quickly for a grounder, and moved so rapidly, that he over-ran the ball, and they had to put him back on the slab or use him in the outfield. And when Bernie Wefers, the great sprinter, tried to play with the Giants, he went from base to base. so fast he couldn't stop, passed way be- yond each sack, and was tagged out before he could return. Moral: You can be too good.

Busy Week For
 Neville s Team
Game Schedules Christmas Day Is Called Off Fly
 Secretary

Manager Jack Neville's roller polo team will have an off night tonight, but will start tomorrow night on strenuous schedule for the remainder of the week. Tuesday night the Mar athoners will be in New Bedford. Wednesday night at Worcester, Thursday night they will be back home for a game with Lowell, Friday night they will play at Providence, Saturday afternoon at Hartford and Sunday afternoon next it will prob ably be Hartford again.
 This schedule is changed consider ably from the one announced on Sat urday when Secretary Perrin had Providence playing in this city Christmas afternoon and in Provi- dence on Christmas night. Now the schedule calls for no game here on Christmas, but there will be one on the following day.
 Yesterday afternoon Bridgep Nrt defeated Hartford. to 4. i.I a game made interesting by its tight blocking for which Referee Waters called three fouls, Cameron, Evans and Harold. The two teams fought hard to win and Honey Boy'' Evans was unable to get in some of his fine work with the defense presented by hoth Jim Cameron md Doc Harold. The game was not decided until the last period when .Quigley and liar rold made goals, the former really winning the game when he broke the tie, 5 and 4, and put his team in the lead. The summary:
 Bridgeport. Hartford
