LOCAL SCHOOLBOYS LOSE IN TORRINGTON
By ED. SHUGRUE.
Especial to The Times


 Torrington, Conn. The Bridge port High Seconds were defeated here last night by the score of 3S-13. The Park City five was considerably lighter than the home team. Torring- tons floor is about one-quarter the size of the locals home floor and fre- quent collisions with the wall proved too much for the Red and Black.
 Bridgeport started the game with a bang and was leading in the first five minutes of play. Hamilton the captain of the Hilltops tossed seven out nine tree throws. Radcevich played a stellar game for the home team net ting baskets. Murphy, center, played in bully fashion knocking down all who dared to venture in his path
 The referee was rather leneint to the Torrington lads and Murphy had full confidence that he would not be elected from the contest on personal fouls. Harry Amsel played a fast game for B. H. S., netting two from the foul line. "Pop" Kayfan covered the floor for the locals and summed OH live me nat one period The little guard was the object of aggressive ness for the upstate lads. Rod Maher was jolted from guard to for ward and worked himself in premier fashion. Silva ran a fast game for Bridgeport but the smallness of the floor seriously handicapped him.
 The guarding of Ganen of the home team was feature of the contest, he tossed the sphere into the cage four times Radcevich held a niche in the corner of the wall where the guards fed him the ball and overhead shots were in play when this forward had the floor clear. The backboards of the loops were set in the wall and. the sphere bounced against the bricks would naturally be outside but the upstate referee allowed the ball to be bounced against the wall without be- ing counted outside.
 When the ball rolled out of bounds it was a. jump ball instead of a throw out by the team who had not caused it to roll outside of the white mark Mertens, Schread and Bogitch were tried out by the local mentor and played to satisfaction. Mertens land edsone on the ring but luck was against the guard and the oval drop ped to the floor.

Sporting Editor, The Times:-
 I see by the papers where the fight promoters can wrap their hands around the state armories now.
 It seems to me that it is funny that so many of these boxers who have been yelling for a chance to get in- side the armory never wanted to get inside it during 1917.
 Do you think they ought to get in now?
 Why should we use the armories of fighting men ito fill the pockets of goofers who ran over to the Lake Co., and other ship outfits wheR the war started? ? | wish you would write something about this.
 Very truly yours,
