CHILEAN TOMBSTONE MAN
 BIDS FAIR TO MAKE HIT
Luis tinccntini, Lightweight, Will Be Given same Chance as
 I'irpo Got.

New York, Dee. 5.--South America has sent forth another pugiistic con- queror. who, in his ciass. may rival the meteoric rise of Luis Ancgl Firpo in heavyweight ranks.
 The new comcr Is Luis Nincentini, Chilean lightweight an crsiahile tombstone cutter. who, since arriving in the United States in September. has knocked out three opponents in rapid succession. He is slated for his big gcst and perhaps decisive test so far on December l4 at Madison Square Garden. where he will battle Johnny shugruo. Of Waterbury. Conn. in q ie-round match.
 Ninccntini's performances here have attracted attention chiefly because Of his ring workmanship rather than the raliber Of The opposition he oyercamc. His opponents Barney Kceley. Her bert Screnson and Jimmy Carroll. are littic known. but the decisive manner Of Nincen'ini's triumphs has stamped him. critics believe. as q 'pheuom."
 Tex RicEard, asiute boxing pro- moter believes the Chilian is tho most promising contender for Benny Leonard's title now in sight.
 Vinccntini has punch in each hand and iu three years has whipped about 50 opponents. % by knocbouts. winning thc Chilean lightweight title in June. 1922. by knocking ont Juan Sanchez tn seven rounds. He gained decision over Julio Fernandez. or Uruguay. south American lightweight champion. rarly this year, but the title is stiIl in some dispute.

 CleuS Of Good Quintet

1 The basketball season at the New Britain high school will open neAi 1 Monday. A call will be issued fol candidates during the day, and all the candidates will report at the gymna- sium for the first practice, Pros
 poets for successful season arc bright. In the neighborhood of 40 candidates are expected to report Among them are three lettermen, as i follows: Captain Ncipp. Belser and Grip.
 These men are all that is left of the basketball team last year. Neipp is the only regular left, The rest of the team was lost through gradu- ation. Captain Jimmy Reynolds. Harold Weir, Duke" McCabe and Paul I.aHar, together with Neipp. were tho five who did the most 10 bring the championship to this city.

 Last year the team went through long schedule, and only lost three games one to Crosby high school, the state champions, and Wilhy. the other Waterbury high school team. and Mcriden high school, It ended up the season in blaze of glory whom it defeated Hartford and New Haven in the home and home game series. and won the championship cup offered by Yale university.
 With Il center. two forwards and guard missing this year the task Of building up winning team is not an easy one Neipp can be converted into center without much trouble but the other positions will be a problem Although Belscr and Grip arc the most experienced Of the can didataS there are several fundamen- tals they must learn before playing regularly Howard Beloin, candidate for forward, is clever performer, and is almost certain 10 make the team.

The much discussed Mohawks- Ran ger game will be played at St. Mary's field on Saturday afternoon, instead Of Sunday afternoon as has previously been supposed.
 The two homogeneous have decided to play of their - tie on Saturday and thus end their season, giving their players freedom from enforced ath- ietic activity on the Sabbath.
 Each team will use its strongest .lineup and the Rangers will be pilot ed by Pat" O'BriCn in the quarter backs berth while Rice will hold down the same position for the Mo hawks. Both teams have several sub stitute backs and they doubtless will keep fresh men behind the line of scrimmagc at all times, pounding the opposition line and ends hard.

ZEHRER OR GRIP SEEN
 AS PROBABLE CAPTAIN
Either Prominent Backfield Man With High School Squad Would
 bc Good Choice

Thoughts of the High school foot ball team and followers will soon be
 turning to the election of captain of next years team. The two most prom inently mentioned are Henry Zehrer and Johnny" Grip. Both have mauo excellent records while members of athletic teams at the school and the election of either would be satisfac-
 tory to all since they both have the qualities of leaders, and have proven capable of commanding respect from
 the men under them. Both can be
 relied upon to be eligible since they are two of the best scholars on the team.
 Zehrer is a veteran who has been playing football for several years. He has been on the high school squad for over three years during which time he has worked under three diff ferent coaches. He has been coached by Dave" Dunn. Gleason Parker and George Cassidy, the present coach. He is heavy, can play any position in the backfield as well as end. This year he played halfback and called the sig nals from that position, He hasn't missed minute of playing all season, but was injured more than any other player on the team. He was the lead ing scorer on the team. As he is member of the junior class he will have one more year of football at the school.
 Johnny Grip in the time he has played has proven to be one of the best all-around athletes. During this time. however, he never missed practice session although he had no chance to get in tho game and make a letter. In football last year he was captain and quarterback of the sec end team. His fine spirit. and his ability to work with the other mem- bers of the team branded him as a fine choice for captain. When he be- came eligible last winter he imme- diatoly began 10 shine as star in basketball and baseball, Ills is s junior

COMPANY L BRINGING
 STRONG OUTFIT HERE
Former College Star And High School Players at Arinory On Satur-
 day Night

The basketball quintet which Tor rington sends to the armory to clash with New Britain's best on Saturday night looks like formidable one. il past records go for anything.
 The forwards will be Rozandich former Storrs college star. and Ru- bins. an old timer who has played foI several years with the Co. l. outfit Ganam. left guard and Wallace, right guard. are former Torrington High school stars
 Brennan probably will referee Sat urday night, but hereafter the official probably will be Chick Hayes who gave such good satisfaction last year.
 The big game will start at p. m., and will be preceded by preliminary at o'clock, Dancing follows the f. nal game. Tonight and Friday night the New Britain outfit practices at the armory.
 League Seems Certain
 At present 1t seems almost certain that q four team league for prelimin- ary games will be organized. Man ager William March of the Pirates has signified his intention of entering a team and the Mohawks and Rangers also are sure to enter. There is some talk about the Newington five being the fourth club and Manager Clarence I.anpher would be glad to discuss de- tails with that club if there is any de- sire to join.

NEW BRITAIN NOW EXPECTS
 TO PLAY BRIDGEPORT TEAM
Football Game Sunday in
 Park City Virtually As
 sured, According to Hard ware City Management.

l The oH again, on again tactics of Manager Healey of the Bridgeport | football team are again in evidence but since the New Britain manage ment is more desirous than ever of playing this aggregation again and settling once and for all the question of Nutmeg State football supremacy it now appears as though the Hard ware City boys would be willing to} make some slight concessions just to get a crack at the chesty down staters. At the present writing it appears that New Britain will play one more game this fall and will be seen in ac- ton in the Park City on Sunday. Last night Manager Healey of Bridgeport and the local moguls held long dis. tance tal<-fest at which the propo) sition pat forth by Heaey, thouglh far from satisfactory. was virtually ac- cepted. This m,, Hing the New Brit ain management Slated that the game is practically certain.
 Thus, unless there is another last minute change, All New Britain will( journey down to Bridgeport Sundayy to try and defeat the heavy green jer-' seyed boys. 4 victory for New Britain will doubtless give to the Hardware City boys at least an even-break claim to the state championship. ItScer- tainly would put Bridgeport out oS running and would leave the
 Haven Williams eleven alone to D test New Britain's claim. Willia already has defeated Bridgeport a on Sunday. when. Williams plays | steam Rollers, there seems little IT son to believe that the steam Roll will not do to them as they di, New Britain.
 If New Britain does play Bridgeport Sunday practically the same team will be used and once again the brilliant Warner will be seen cavorting about the field from his position of tackle. The backs will be Fully at quarter, with Barnikow at fnllback and Hickey and Kennedy at halfback position. Also. if would not be surprising were Baheock given n chancc with his toe in case the team gets within field goa scoring chances. Last Sunday Rab was bootlng them over In practice like college star. Rogers will Do in trim for center with Restclli as his understudy. Blanchard and Conley will he at tho wing place and the others in the line will be the same as last Sunday.
 Interest in Mcriden
 Meriden sports fans arc orincing no little interest in tho New Britain Bridgeport argument and tho sports writer on the Mcriden Record this morning has the following to say:
 That state Title.
 The result Of the game Sunday st Hanover park leaves both the All Bridgeports and All-New Britains, as well as their followers. eager for an- other contest. judging from the rec ports that are current. Nike llealcy, manager of the Park City eleven. is staging an attempt to bring New Brit ain to his field for the state title clash. But New Britain will probably have lot to say abou. that and it was rumored early that the game would bc staged at Clarhn held,

 Perhaps no one is q better judge of football player than coach. That is his business, sizing up the fweakncss and strength of the players. In order to get the best possible election for an All-Western Confer ence team l requested the Big Ten" coaches to send mo their first team selections with the understaDding that their names were not in any way to appear in connection with the re- suit. The desire was 10 get a com posite selection from the men who know.
 Eight of the l0 coaches compiled with my request. Ono wired that he didn't have worthwhile opinion on the subject. lt was impossible 10 get in touch with the remaining one. as after the season Mas over he hurried away for aScs,.
 All For Five
 The coaches were unit in their selection Of five players for tho All Western ConfTence eleven. Half backs Grange of Illinois and Mar tineau of Minnesota each pollcd eight votes. Below Of Wisconsin and Me Millen Of Illinois were the unanimous choice for a tackle and a guard, while Blott of Michigan received solid vote for the center job.
 One coach said that of Blotts in- jury which kept him out of tho final game Of tho season disquali1cd him he liked King of Chicago as second choice.
 In selecting all-star teams. players who fail to take part in every game are often dropped from consideration.
 For the ends. Eklund Of Minnesota and Hancock Of Iowa received the call. Only ono coach failed to name Ekiund.
 The coaches were very much di- rided in selecting running mates for Tackle Below of Wisconsin and Guard AcMilen or Illinois. Unanimous in the choKe Of those two players the eight famous mentors differed widely in their selection for the other side of the line

Now is the time to begin looking
around for seed boxes to start seeds
for the earliest crops if you have not
already provided them The most
convenient boxes are known as flats"
usually made by cutting an ordinary
soap box in two and placing a bottom
on the top half. These fats should be
from three to four inches deep, with
holes bored in the bottom at six-inch
intervals to provide drainage. These
holes should be covered with broken
crockery or flower pots. so that the
soil will not leak through.
For seed raising in the ordinary
window of living room or warm kit
chen these flats may be too wide. In
this case the cigar box is a very con-
venient seed box Empty cigar boxes
usually can be secured for the asking

Seed Sowing Technique

There is quite a trick in sowing
seed evenly and thinly, but it is easily
done when you know how.
Professional gardeners who have
large quantities of seed to SOW usu-
ally use wheel hoe with a seeder at
tachment or seeder horse drawn.
However, when the seed is to go in
boxes or hotbeds or in small guam
tity, he sows it direct from the packet
with steady motion that drops the
seeds evenly and not too thickly in
the row made for it.
First of all, after prying the flap
loose or cutting the edge of the packet,
make a crease in one side of it so
that when you hold the edges be-
tween the thumb and second finger,
the forefinger being above it, the
opening will be almost triangular. the
edges of the packet being held firmly
enough to force the crease apart so
that it makes trough down which the
seed may flow
Now tilt the packet gently and tap
it with the forefinger, which will be
free above it. With little practice
