TIGERS WEAK AT SECOND.

Manager Ty cobb Of Detroit still has two serious problems to settle be- fore his team can be considered a logical pennant contender, He must get capable second sacker and be fortunate enough in having Third Baseman Bobby Jones be able to play regularly. Derrill Pratt is through at second. The veteran can no longer cover enough ground to be rated a regular. Getting a second sacker is the biggest worry of the Tyger ender. Cobb is hot on the trail of Jimmy Dykes Of the Athletics.

EAGLES WIN THEIR SECOND;
 NEW BRITAIN LOSES AGAIN
AtIas A. C. From New Haven Hand Locals 34- 29 Defeat and Gets Re- venge for Trouncing Re- ceived Earlier in Season.

The Atlas Of New Haven swept a black mark off their record. as one of Connecticuts best bask etball machines Saturday night when they took the All-New Britain basketball team into camp by a 34 to 29 score at the state armory thus avenging themselves for q defeat suffered at the hands of the All-New Britains earlier in the season.
 The game started off fast with the New Haven team taking the lead and keeping it throughout the game, al though at several points during the game they were leading by a very small margin. Taylor was the only man on the New Britain team that could find the hoop in the first half and it was his shooting, both of floor baskets and foul shots, that kept the local team in the running, Both Wo- Jack and Babcock were away off form and missed shots that on other nights would have been easy. Gu bersky. the Atlas center ran wild and accounted for 10 of the Atlas points in the first half, but in the second half, when the lineup of the local team had been shifted and he was opposed by Larson he was held to one floor basket and did not succeed in sinking that until the final mo- ments of the game.
 While the Atlas were passing per fectly and working through the All New Britain defense with short, choppy passes, the All-New Britain ieam was finding the going rough and 9a hai tariN the defense thrown out by the Atlas AIert Taylor then showed his speed and on two separate occasions he dribbled through the Atlas team and dropped in double deckers. The shifty Mert was the whole works for New Britain, being the only man who could score with any regularity and watched his man so closely that hc did not account for single floor bas- ket.
 In the closing moments Of the game the All-Ncw Briialns took 6 new lease on life and spurted. mainly through tho efforts of Taylor. and came np within five points Jpf putting tho game on the right sidc( of the ledger.
 For the Atlas Sne work of Guber- sky and Botwink were the features. while for the AlltNcw Hritains the work of Taylor ar}d pellctior were the bright spots

Leonard Does Not Like Fighters
 Who Rush Him About

There is no lightweight in the game at present who appears capable Of giving Benny Leonard the slightest annoyance. Pal Moran ot New Or leans is called the champions nearest rival at the moment due to the south erner's recent Knockout over Charley White. Leonard has met and beaten Moran twice and there Is no reason to believe that he can't do it again.
 Billy Gibson told me several days ago in New York that LeOnard's next light Of importance will be in the spring against Mickey Walker, well tcrweight champion. Leonard is now on the road with theatrical troupe. Walker. having incurred the official displeasure of both the New York and New Jersey commission, Is ac- lively engaged in idleness.
 Observers haven't seen enough Of Walker against spirited opposition to know how capable he is. Harry Ertle. New Jersey referee. who worked in all of Walkers early bat- ties, says he is the best looking young lighter that has come to the ring in inc last 10 years.

Mohawks Vanquished in City League 26 to IS After Hard Fought Game Winners Tied With Rangers for Leadership.

The city basketball league was con- tinued on it's tourney Saturday night at the Arch street armory by the Eagles five administering an 1926 defeat to the Mohawis. the particular pets of Carl Resteli. The Eagles started hostilities shortly after the whistle blew when J. Swanson hooked in filed goal, and before the half ended this snappy lite forward had netted three more double deckers. Schultz, his running mate also got into the field and foul scoring and Grobsteln, who had been holding So- kora to lone tally. himseif dropped in one for two points. l., Schmitt showed up best for the Mohawks in the opening period. He was fast in handling the ball, dribbled well, elud- ed his guard ceverly and found the hoop for two two-timers. Morelli also dropped in a two-point maker So- kora, who scored so freely against the Rangers a couple of weeks ago, was held to one basket, which was also what Captain Eddie Restelli got.
 In the second half the Eagles guarded the Mohawks better and held them to eight points. four by Morelli and two each by Sehmitt and Tancred. On the other hand, the Mohawks opened up considerably and in their dsperate attempts to cage some goals for themselves gave their op- ponents added opportunities which were taken advantage Of, J, Swanson dropping in two double deckers and Hoist and Anderson also entering this scoring column. Foul shooting also added materially to the Eagles score, Schultz getting two in this half, Grob- stein getting one and Anderson getting two. The keen eyes of Referee Steve Budak detected Morelli getting rough and this resulted in an added point for the Eagles, while Schmitt's en- thnsasm got tho better of him also and the ga mo trouble with Tancred re- acted in favor Of the Eagles. A peculiarity of this game was that the Mohawks did not get single point from foul, their only two chances they had having been missed when Schmiit could not find the net.

So far as known there has been no protest on the part of the HOO residents of the two villages Whs u0@ find steady employment after several months of slack time.
 Throughout the summer the biz plant at North Grosvenordale has been operating one week and closing the next. while the mills at Gr0svenor- dale have also been on a schedule ap- proximating half time.
 The fifteen percent wage cut IS in line with action being taken in cot ton manufacturing plants throughout New England.
