 IN 2 GAMES
By JOHN POSTOL.

Sensational shooting by Fitelson. Mooney and Marrcn featured the Y NJ H. 4. lives 34-21 victory over the Hartford I. M. H. A. last night Gordon. 1anby center, dropped in a basket from the foul mark for the mrst score of the game, and imme dlately after Bothwinick, of the wis 1tors, shot in a pretty two-timer put ting them in the lead
 The game then see-sawed and when the whistle blew for the end of the first half the locals were on the short end of a 1915 score.
 Captain Max Fitelson's pretty dou- Die decker from the ceater of the hoor at the beginning of the final half put the Madison avenue ath ietes in the lead and from then on rhe tans witnessed some of the most sensational shooting seeu on the local court in a. long time.
 The locals simply played the Cap itol Sity five off their feet. and once they got started, baskets were made from all angles.
 Captain Max FItelson was the lead ing point scorer of the day, ca.ging four field goals and two fouls for a. to:al Of 10 points He was closely followed by Mooney, with nine points and Marron closed up eight points While Davy Kaplan showed up well on the defense
 Botwinick and Hurwitz scored most for the losers. garnering LTD a total of II points between them.
 As each team has now won one game a third and rubber" game, to decide the State Y. M. H. A. cham ptonship will probably be arranged some time within the next few weeks.

 Not a single member of last sea sons team is in the reorganized com bination, according to murmurings from the rumor factory. A majority of the team is made up of former Dondero, Buckley and McGran, aug mented by ''Meno'' Burns of the Blessed Sacraments and Mcclellan of the Devon A. C. Last seasons play CTS were Joe DuvaI, Cogan, Mullaney, MaIley, Judge and Suddy.
 One of the claims put up by some of last seasons players is that the management are getting good players who are not members of the local council. If that is true, it is in direct opposition to the policy announced by Captain Daley before the season started, i.e.: that the Bridgeport council was going to have one of the best teams in the state and that it's players would be obliged to affiliate with the council before they would be eligible to join the team.
 Joe DuvaPs Big Kick.
 Joe Duval. star center of the team, last season, is. out with the statement to make this years team. On one promised a chance to get into action for few minutes. but he was forced to remain on the sidelines.
 DuVal is pretty sore. He declared whenever there was a chancS for him -to get into the game a new man was given the preference On that oc- casion DuVa1 claims he was asked to loan the new man his playing shoes, but he refused the favor.

whom the American boxing authorities
may designate as champion, whether u
