 On Cage Lineup

Coach Fred Hunt of the Bridge port High School basketball team has no4 as yet selected his varsity five which will opose the NoTwalk High School in the local gymnasium nexc Saturday afternoon. But after the in Ftia1 game Coach Hunt will be in a better position to choose the first five. Barney Colway seems to be the best bet for the center position. There is bound to be trouble when Hunt se- lects the two forwards Among the most prominent candidates for the forward berths are: Bobby Flynn, Eddie schine, Ray WhaLen, Lester Burr, and Andy Mrazfk. Coach Hunt will also have tough job picking out the two best guards without creating much envy among the flock of can aida Es which include Benny Blade, 'sFat'' Kayian "Pop" Kayian, Vince Cooney and Benny Dorkdin.

Old Peter MGher Works Oz Docks

New London, Dec. 12-Peter Maher, former noted pugilist, is at the state pier employed as a watchman on board one of the U. s. Shipping Board vessels tied up here. Mir. Maher was employ ed 1n a similar capacity for some time at New York where the veS- sells were tied up prior to their removal here and he came here with the vessels and will remain here indefinitely.
 MT. Maher is a philosophical sort of chap. He is not as af fluent as he was in his paImy days when he travelled on the best trains and put up at the best hotels, but he is just as happy as though rolling in wealth. He takes his downs as bravely as the ups, but just now he is on the downs. with not much ahead of hiIn except his job.

When McCann
 ''Un,ped'' Series

Didn't take Gene McCann long t crash into the Buffalo sporting page turing the minor league pow-woN Listen!
 Always adorned with an i'm maculate, jeweIIed white four in hand tie is Gene McCann, owner of the Bridgeport team of the Eastern League. He has been calmly watching the progress of the minor league meeting here. It was McCann who happened to be in Baltimore a year ago last August whau the Bisons were there and Empires Carpenter and Derr, threateded by Jack Dunn and his. gang, disappeared. It was this crucial series that set Buffalo out of the running for the pennant. The Bison catching staff was all shot and Baltimore se1nf-pro helped out. McCann jumped in and umpired the se- rieS, and came through flying. This was also the series during one game of which the gentle manly followers of Jack Dunn bonnbarded J. J. Lanntn of the Buffalo club and President and Mrs. David Fultz with beets wrapped up in paper, smashing Mir. Lannins hat.
