BRIDGEPORT CLUB
 IS SOLD TO O'HARA
He Takes Franchise for Group of
 Sprinsiielders

Springfield. Jan. -21.--Jack O'Hara, former manager of the Lawrence, Springfield and Pittsfield Eastern league clubs. representing a group of Springfield men, completed negotia- tions with President Jack Kearney of the Bridgeport Derbies, for the pur- chase of the Bridgeport club franchise in q conference here. The club was owned by the American Chain com pany.
 The sale price was not divulged, but it is understood it amounted to more than $15,000.
 The Derbies have been on the mar ket more than a month, President Kearney announcing some time ago that the club was to be sold. When it became known that the Park City club was on the market. offers from several groups were made but none were satisfactory. President Kearney kept the offers on file and the matter rested more than a month. with no decision being made. O'Haras, it is understood, was one of the first offers made.
 O'Hara, for the past three years operated an independent team in Windsor Locks. known as the Collc- gians. This team was made up mostly of Holy Cross players. The new own CT was manager of the Lawrence team in 1916; of Springfield in 1917 and 1918 and manager of the cham pionship Pittsfield Hillies in 1919.
 The Bridgeport club was not f. nancial success last season and the material o'Hara has to work with does not shape up as being strong.

CHICAGO REFEREE FATALLY WOUNDED
DaVey Miller Is Shot by Uniden-
 tifed Man in Street

Chicago, Jan. 21.-"Dayey" Miller. restaurateur and wrestling and box ing referee. was shot and probably fatally wounded late last night as he left a theater with his three brothers, one of whom. Max, was shot and slightly wounded.
 Their assailant who was not identi- fled escaped as the theater crowd milled about the men as they lay on the sidewalk. "Dayey' Miller was rushed to hospital and an operation was ordered immediately. He was shot in the abdomen.
 Well. they got the referee" ex- claimed Max Miller at the hospital to which he was taken with a bullet wound in his side.
 "Davey" refereed the Benny Leon- ard Pinkey Mitchell contest at Dexter pavilion here last May 30. giving the decision to Leonard near the end of the bout when he knocked Mitchell down. the decision precipitating riot which sounded the death knell of Chi cago boxing.
 At the detective bureau Sergeant V toihtli telcpiioHeu -hishu'' iiuehSS chief of detectives, that, In his opin- ion. the shooting was traceable to the Leonard Mitchell fight.
 As Miller carried Piniie Mitchell to his corner after he had declared Leonard, the winner. Richie Mitchell, brother of the Milwaukee fighter and himself lightweight of note, struck the referee, and the ring immediately was filled with fighting groups of men. 4 score or more fights broke out all over the hall.
 It was the contention of the Mill waukee boxers and their supporters that Leonard had fouled Mitchell by striking while Mitchell still was on one knee.
 Sailor Friedman, Chicago boxer. re- gently was kidnapped and seriously beaten at Milwaukee where he was training for a contest, and it is said that other Chicago boxers have been fighting shy of Milwaukee since.
 "We were in the theater," Max Miller told the police. "and when we came out l was about to hail a cab when heard two men call oh, Dave
 "Ite went over to talk to them and saw one of the men try to hit Dave. Dave pushed the mans arm back. He pushed it so far back that it came rear the mans back pocket Then I heard two shots. one of which wounded me"

There were big doings in the city league Saturday night and the Rang CTS, heretofore undefeated in this cir cult, tasted the bitter dregs of defeat while their persistent rivals, who up to then had not won a game, drank copiously of the cup of victory. It was a close. exciting and well played game, the result being in doubt until the final whistle blew, leaving the score standing Mohawks r, Rangers Is.
 Barnett Scores First
 The game opened with the Mo- hawks presenting a changed lineup and the shift worked well. Later in the game this lineup was changed, but the second shift did not work as well as the first. Both teams started off in whiriwnd fashion as Referee Johnny Shechan footed his whistle. but it was the Rangers who drew first blood. "Snowshos's" eagle eye detected Cap tain Eddie Restelli being a bit over strenuous and two free shots were all lowed Barnett. He sank one of them and thus the AIohawks took tho lead. Two other fouls were quickly called and again it was Barnett who scored each time, making the tally in the first five minutes read Mohawks 0, Rangers 3.
 Then the Mohawks went into action. A free shot given Restelli gave the Mohawks 1 and another by Cooley made the score ! and ? in favor of the Rangers. Then l.. Schmitt sunk n double decker and the Mohawks wont into the lead, never again to be headed though the score always was close. Sokora also broke away from his guard for a double decker and Morelli likewise shot in one for two points. Barnett, who had been flash ing about, managed to sneak in couple Of field goals, but these were nullihed and more when Eddie Res telli raced down the floor. captured the sphere and looped it through for two points more.
 The first half ended with the Mo hawks leading 12 10
 The second Half
 In the second half change in the Mohawks lineup weakened the team and the Rangers outscored them but were not able to overcome the lead, though they did manage to tie the score. With the Mohawks leading i4 to l3, Barnett dropped in one from the lb foot mark. tying the score. but this was not for long as l.. Schmitt again got going and dropped in two from the field.
 The Mohawks put in several subs as the game drew 10 a close and with two point lead they spent the last minute or two stallinE for time. This they were successful in doing and the whistle cut short another attempt Of the Rangers 10 tie the score and force overtime play.

SPARK PLUGS FAKE SEVENTY
 STRAIGHT GAME THEHM.
The Aces Win Their First, Trouncing the San Toys in a Speedy Court Con- test.

In very slow game, the Spark Plugs trimmed the Rambler team to the tune of -23 to 12 in the first game of the Saturday afternoon league at the Y. M. c. A. The Ramblers, handi- capped by the unavoidable absence of their star players, Kron and Cabellus, kept the Sparks on the jump in the first half, holding them down to only five geld goals. The second half open ed up with Wallin of the Sparks go- ing on a rampage and caging four field goals in quick succession and putting the game on ice for the Sparkies.
 The Aces, arriving on the floor for the second game full of pep, and dey termined to at least win one game be- fore the series closed. put up a whirl- wind game, and through sheer speed won the game by three points. Nu- merous fouls were called on both teams as the game progressed. Play CTS in the heat of playing hard held and wrestled, the San Toys proving the transgressors at least dozen times to the Aces nine fouls. Levitt played his position well, only permit ting Bear Cat" Nelson one field goal throughout the game. Loomis of the Aces through sheer speed advanced the ball through the opposing team time and again making spectacular shots and passes.
 Warner Johnson and C. Johnson, also of the Aces, played their usual fine game. In fact every player on the team coordinated splendidly in pass work and team play
 Nor can it be raid that the Aces had a very easy time winning from the San Toys, for the latter team fought bitterly every inch of the way, and it was possible that the Aces may have had all the breaks of the game, for time and again the San Toys well meant shots rolled around the rim of the basket only to fall down on the wrong side.
 Nelson, Recanno and Stanley proved the buwarks of strength for the San Toys, working the ball in splendid team play down the floor only 10 lose it through the interference on part of the opposing guards. Nelson caged a beautiful field goal almost the length of the gym when the goal was most needed. Both teams played the best game of the season and there was little to choose between. The Aces though weak little at the be- ginning Of the season have not per- mitted the six straight defeats to daunt their fighting spirit. and from now on this team will spell trouble for any team which bucks ID against them.

The All-New Britain basketball team made it four straight by taking the Brooklyn A. C. of Waterbury into camp by q 39-19 score at the state armory Saturday night.

They showed up exceptionally well in the fonl shooting with Taylor getting five cut of eight. Restelli two out of three and I.aTIar two out of three.
 The pass work Of the home team was all that could be asked for and no trouble at all was encountered in working the ball down the floor through the visiting guards where Taylor or La liar alternated in drop ping them through the netting for double counter. Pelletier and Restel- Ii in the back court handled Stack and Dennis in q capable manner the former going scoreless and the latter heinz held to two field goals, making both of these in the first half.
 With the start Of the second half la, a short time were leading by a big margin and confined the visiting quin- tets work to gathering nine points during the closing period.
 For the visitors the work of Dennis and Navin stood out prominently and the work of Taylor and LaHar were the bright spots in the playing of the local aggregation.

boiling water shooting high in the
air, and near one Of these springs
was a whole butte of the "ice rock

it. "But it is a dreadful place!"

Western ranges continued to de-
cline during August, due to a con-
tinued lack Of moisture, according
to the recent report of the division
of crop and livestock estimates, OF
the bureau of agricultural econom-
les, of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Higher ranges continued very good,
but the lower ranges were very dry,
with prospects of short feed for fall
and winter grazing in several states.
The grass was generally we'll cured
and fairly heavy, following favorable
moisture conditions earlier in the
year.
Ranges were generally good in
Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New
Mexico and the western part of the
Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas. In
Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada,
Utah and California, no rains came
to relieve the long continued drought
while the lack of moisture in Arizona
and Texas has begun to seriously af-
feet the range. The condition of the
ranges is rs per cent of normal, COM
pared with 70 per cent last month
and 81 per cent a year ago.
Sheep and cattle showed a little de-
cline in condition, following dry con-
ditions on the ranges, but so far the
decline has not been as rapid as that
of the ranges, due to grazing on high
er ranges and more favored spots.
However, it is evident that, with con-
tinued dry weather, a further decline
may be expected. Cattle and sheep
have lone we'll, due to the we'll cured
feed, except west of the continental
divide, where the feed became short
and dry early in the season.
The condition of range cattle is IS
per cent as compared with 80 per cent
August 1, and 81 per cent one year
ago. Sheep show a condition of "a
per cent, 3 points below a month ago
and IL points below September, 1928.
