BASKETBALL SEASON 1
 ID OPEN TONIGHT.
Williams A. C. of New Haven to
 Oppose Locals at Armory

Managers Ellison and Lanpher Of
 the New Britain basketball team, have
 perfected all arrangements for the opening of the season this evening at the State armory. While it Is on the eve of one of the most important trading holidays of the year, 1t is expected that big crowd will be in attendance. It was with this realiza- ton in mind that the local manage ment set out to secure strong at traction for the opening game. In booking the Williams A. c. team of New Haven. Messrs. Ellison and Lanpher. believe that they have se- cured quintet that will force the locals to show their real ability. It is the aim of the New Britain manage ment to secure the best obtainable in the basketball world, for games on the home court.
 Celebrities With Visitors.
 Just word about the visitors this evening: Steve O'Brien, the right for ward. has showed his wares here on numerous occasions in past seasons, with the New Haven Kaceys, and his ability is well known. During the past football season Steve played quarterback on the football team representing the Williams A. c.
 O'Brien Beat All-ETartford.
 It was his field goal from the 30- yard line that defeated the All-Hart- ford eleven during the past season, thus solidifying himself with local fans. Any time an athletic can de- feat the All Hartford club he becomes q favorite locally. Peters, his run ming mate at center, was one of the big sensations in athletic circles while a student at the New Haven High school. He also played for several seasons on the Naples A. C. of New Haven. Griffin, the red headed guard, Kaceys last season, furnished plenty of opposition to the local forwards. It should be interesting to see what he will do against Hap Harmon and Merritt Taylor of the locals. Me Cram, the other guard has estab blish- cd himself as one of the best court performers in the southern part of the state. Gubersky has been show ing to great advantage with Y. M H. A. team about the state during the season. The preliminary game will be be- tween the Pirates Jrs. and the West l Ends. The first game will start at | 7:45 o'clock and the big game at 8:30 | o'clock. Spud Drew, athletic director tt Trinity will be the referee. Danc- ng will follow the games.

SPORT LOVERS TO | HAVE NEW SIADIA
Plans Arc Now Under Way to
 Accommodate Large Crowds

Now York, Dec. 23-wGrowing popu-
 lar interest in outdoor sports through
 out the metropolitan area, especially ] in baseball and football, will result | In largely increased accommodation for spectators in 1928, according to present indications. Conservative
 estimates place at 500,000 the total
 simultaneous seating capacity
 which scores of fields and few larg- CT stadia will have when plans now under way are completed. While more than half of this capa- city is scattered among smaller school college and athletic club enclosures, approximately 218,060 will be ac- |commodated in four big arenas These are the three major league ball marks Polo Grounds, Yankee Stadium and
 Ebbets Field--and Baker Field, Co.,
 lumbia's new stadium.
 Yankee Stadium, home of the
 American League Baseball club in the
 Bronx, is rapidly nearing completion and If not entirely finished will be
 ready. at any rate, for the formal
 opening of the 1923 baseball season \ in April. A 4oo yards cinder path will offer facilities for track and field sports, while football and box ing also will be staged in the big arena, whose seating capacity will be from 10000 to 80,0o0.
 Worlds series attendance last fall at the Polo Grounds exceeded all previous records there. and as a. re- suit the home of the New York Giants Is being enlarged to seat 64,- 900, about 17,ooo more than it's pre- sent capacity. Football and boxing also figure as attractions at this field. Ebbets Field grounds of the Brook lyn National League Club. with. seat ing capacity of 22,0O0, has been usd for boxing and occasionally football. Plans for Baker Field, Columbia's projected stadium, to be erected at 118th and Broadway. call for a bowl seating between 50,oo0 and 6e,o00 but it is doubtful if this will be real ized for sometime. Work on the playing fields is expected to start in the spring with the possibility that football may be played there in the . fall, but university athletic authori- ties point out that the development of the whole project is yet in its in- fancy.
 Next fall, with the Yankee Stadium as an added neutral battle-ground, football is expected to claim much greater public interest. Already Syra- ,use and Pittsburgh universities have agreed to play their annual game at the American league park, and it is probable that New York again will be the scene of the Arriy-Navy classic which for several years has been held 1t the Polo Grounds.

BURNS ALSO DECLINES
Reds Outficlder Follows Frank Frisch in Turning Down the Presidency of the Players Union.

New York. Dec. 2a.--It begins tc look as if Jack Fournier, the first basen1an of the St. Louis Cardinals, will be forced to accept the presi- dency of the Players Union by de- fault, Frank Frisch of the Giants has already declined to be q nominee for the office, and yesterday it was learned that George Burns of the Reds. the leading candidate. has also notified the union that he would not consent to run for the chief office.
 According to John J. McGraw, Burns made this statement to Hans Lobert, ex-third baseman of the Giants and Georgie is now said to have withdrawn from the race. This puts the issue squarely Up to Fournler and the odd part of that is that the Cardinals asked waivers on the t7renchman three times last season, recently tried to trade him to Brook lyn and Boston. There is very good chance that Fournier will be sent to a minor league team, which would be queer fate for the prospective president of the major league players union.
 Arthur Fletcher one of the three nominees for vice-president, also has gracefully from the race. Fletcher is now manager of the Phil lies, and he considers that 1t would be a quaint performance to be an of- ficer of the union and head of the Phils at the same time. President Will liam F. Baker is understood to have. the same ideas on the subject.

Sarzan Insured by
 Club for $100,000

New York, Dec. 2s.-In addi- lion to his many firsts in golf iffairs during the past season. iene Sarazen, national open and P. c. A. champion, will doubtless soon be the first of the golf professionals to be insured for $1oo.000 against accident or death. As soon as Chauncey Depew Steele, manager of the new Briarcliff lodge at Briar- cliff Manor on the Hudson, got Genc's signature attached to two-year contract to represent the club as its professional he summoned life insurance agent and applied for a sl00.000 pol Icy on the life of his star. "sarazen is going away on a long trip" said MT. Steele yes- terday. "and we want to make provision against any emergency that might arise. It seems to have become the practice Of baseball clubs to insure their star players and believe 1t to be only good business"

San Diego, Cal, Dec. 23.---Football
 practice in bathing suits on a beach
 was the novel sight afforded to San
 Diego gridiron fans yesterday when the Gonzana university squad, here to meet West Virginia Christmas Day,
 worked under the direction of Assis- tant Coach Bill Higgins. The Con- zana squad had come from the Northwest and temperature hover ing around the zero mark, and Hig- gins did not want his men to feel too much the balmy seventy-four degrees prevailing at Coronado, where the team is quartered. So he secured number of bathing suits from the hotel manager and ordered his charges into them. The Gonzana gridiroh warriors went down to the hard sand and were put through a brisk workout of an hour and a half. Word was received here that the West Virginia squad was in New Mexico yesterday and had taken short workouts at Albuquerque and Gallup.

KAYO FOR JOHNSON
New Heavyweight in Ring Circles, Decisivcly Defeats Itaiinn Jack Herman in Bout At Syracuse.

Syracuse, Dec. 23.--Floyd Johnson, the latest sensation in the heavy weight ranks, had things his own way with Italian Jack Herman, fifth rater. here last night. Tn the third round Johnson whipped over right hand punch to the chin which put Herman into slumberland. Herman was unable to leave the ring until nearly five minutes after the blow had landed. Herman did not land a hard punch in the two and a half rounds.
 When the bout started it could be seen that it was no match and that 1t would not go any length. Herman's face was beaten to pulp. In the second round Referee Claude Tibbitts was on the point of stopping the scrap as Herman was clearly outclassed. Johnson tipped the beam at 1o5 pounds at ? o'clock in the afternoon, while Herman was ten pounds lighter.

PRECAUTIONARY BAN is ON.

On last Saturday the local authori-
ties, acting in junction with the coun
ty health Officers, ordered the closing
Of the schools, churches, theatre and
the discontinuance Of all public gath
erings as a precautionary measure
against the epidemic of flu and grip
which has been general over the coun-
try the past several days.
1t is understood all other towns of
the prairie and Clearwater section have
gone under like ban.
/ While there is much sickness in this
town and the surrounding country
mild flu attacks and bad colds-no
serious cases have so far developed,
and it is hoped by due care to prevent
any such development. just when the
ban will be lifted cannot be stated at
this time, as that will depend on de-
velopments up to the last of the week.
Locally the spread of the ailment
seems to be pretty well checked, but
whether the reopening of public gath.
cring places would be the proper thing
is conjectural. The people generally
are working consistently with the au-
thorities and the matter is being hand
led as well as our disorganized public
health service viii permit.

Christian Church.

The Christian spirit is the spirit of
love and it is manifest in Kindness,
patience and peace. This sentiment is
expressed by st. Paul in these words.
1'Let all bitterness, and wrath, and
anger, and clamor, and railing, be put
away from you, with all malice: and
be We kind to one another, tender
hearted, forgiving each other, even as
Christ also forgave you. Be ye imi-
tators of God, as beloved children:
and walk in love, even as Christ also
loved you, and gave himself up for us,
an offering and sacrifice to God for
an odor of sweet smell.' We have
all been praying for world wide peace.
We believe it will come; but hows Not
bv legislation alone, for a law which
is not backed by the will of the pep
pie will fail. Peace will come as the
spirit of love is manifest in individuals
and with thousands of individuals who
are willing to live by the spirit OF
Christ there will be manifest in every
community the spirit of love and har-
mony. AS goes the small community
so will go the whole world. The spirit
of the Christ is what all need for it
creates in man a hatred for sin and
love for the soul of the sinner.
