Defeat Broad A. c. of Hartford g to 15 in Good Game-Were Trail-D
 ing At Half Time

The Panthers' quintet last. night journeyed to Hartford and defeated the Broad A. C., 23 to Is, in a pre- lininary to the Dixie-West Side game at the Hopkins street sym. .
 As was expected the Broad A. c. augmented their lineup with several Rover men, and their presence was felt by the locals. Dodge. started the scoring with a. neat double-decker from the center of the floor. Barton followed with another and then added foul goal. Luke then broke the ice for the locals with a spectacular shot that brought the huge crowd to their feet, and they appiauded heart fly. The half ended II to in favor of the Hartford lads.
 In the second half the Orange and Black showed the Capitol Cityites just why they claim the state champion ship.
 The good teamwork and fine shoot ing of Battling Luke, the local cen ter. soon enabled the locals to tie the score. That unceasing attack, the great pace set by the locals soon wore their opponents down and they kept on scoring, while Captain Arbaur and Gottowalla's defensive work kept their opponehts from doing likewise. At the end of the game the crowd gave the locals a good hand. The score:

|BRIDGEPORT PRIEST
 | STRONG FOR BOXING
Father DonOhue Defends P&time
 Boosts Kid Kaplan

Willimantic, March 7.-To enter tain a view on tany situation is . privilege that belongs to all men. To have the opinions of nearly 15o men- bers of the chamber of commerce converge, is bound to make every body take notice. Such was the case last evening when the gathering at the regular monthly meeting was unanimous in the expression that the Rev. George B. Donohue of St. Au- gustine's church, Bridgeport, delivered one of the most straightforward and brilliant addresses ever heard at a chamber session. His subject was "The Frendly Town" and the under lying principle along which his re- marks were developed was human friendship. The Rev. Father Dono- hue is an orator of ability and his delivery Of such an interesting topic enhanced the response of his listeners, At the conclusion of his address, he was given a rising ovation and he was also the recipient of many in- dividual congratulations.
 Father Donohue, according to his own admission, is an enthusiastic de- voteerof the boxing game, and he came out with a wonderful defense of the men who make their sustenance and help others by boxing. He gave a few incidents tending to make clear that the ambition that spurs many young men to fight in the ring is human friendship, the desire to as sist relatives and others. The speaker said that he was an intimate friend of Louis Kid" Kaplan and he has a pair of the latter's gloves hung on his bookcase in close proximity 10 a portrait of that representative poet. Keats. In conversation with friend a few weeks ago, Father Dono- hue said that the reason Dempsey was staying in Florida was so that lie could keep away from Kaplan, this remark being made with no intent to create that exact impression, for Dempsey is not in Kaplan's class, ac- cording to their respective weights, but being said merely to get a laugh and being repeated last night for the same purpose.

SHOULD MANAGER BE BRILLIANT PLAYER
Some Question Whether It Affects
 His Ability on Diamond
(By Billy Eva ns)

Is it wise for a diamond star to be- come big league manager when still in the truly great class?
 Stanley Harris. one of the best sec ond basemen in the game, is to make his debut as manager this year. He is e7 years old.
 Harris ranks mighty close to Eddie Collins, will shortly surpass him, since he is a youngster and Collins a vcter- an. Will the duties of manager have a tendency to slow up the play of Harris?
 Is the job Of managing big league club big enough in itself aside from the duties of player? The fact that non-playing managers are greatly in the majority would make it seem so.
 The work of Harris as manager of the Washington club will be watched with great interest. Harris is capable, brainy and courageous, we'll fitted to deliver as a player and executive.
 Perhaps no player of recent years has been sold or traded more times tne NlltcI SOiiiia of the Chicago White Sox.
 First, New York was again angling for Collins. Rumor had it that Hug. gins intended to retire at the close of 1924 and Colonel Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, wanted to be all set for a manager.
 Then came the report that Clarke Gri1ith was dickering with Chicago for Collins to play second and manage the Washington club.
 ' All the rumors about Collins as manager have fzzled.
 The question arises as to whether Collins would really like to manage a big league ball club.
 I put it up to him one day last sum- mer during a baseball fanfest. The topic of conversation was the tough job a big league manager had. The necessity of constantly delivering was pointed out.
 some day I would like to manage . big league ball club" was tho reply Of Collins to my query.
 "whether I would like 10 manage a big league club while still able to hold down the position as Q regular is questionable.
 There Is no doubt in my mind but that a players work must suffer be- cause Of the additional duties as man. ager. Looking after big league club is a job in itself.
 q like to play baseball. Intend 10 play until my old legs give out. My legs arc my only fear The eyes and the arms are as good as ever.
 Last year an injury to my knee gave me considerable trouble. It con- vinced mo that didn't want to play a single game after my play began to dcteriorate.
 T hope some day to manage a major league club, but believe it ,,nls will be after am through as a
 All Of which would lead one to be- lieve that Collins, one of the games greatest players, feels that the work of star player who becomes man. ager is sure to suffer.

SENATE SWITCHES
ON HICKEY BILL
Two indiana Federal Dis
triCtS Now Likely,
By Times Special

By Times Spcct7t
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Pros
poets seemed brighter today that the
Hickey Court Bill, providing for two
judicial districts in Indiana, would
eventually be adopted by Congress
than at any time since the Senate
took up the bill after it's passage by
the House last spring.
The House passed the bill substan-
TALLY as introduced by Congressman
Hickey. The Senate judiciary Com.
mittee recommends that instead Of
creating two districts there be Gre
ated two judgeships for the whole
State, with but a single district. Pro.
tests from legal bodies of northern
Indiana have been numerous. 1t
was intimated today that these pro-
tests may be needed and that the
Senate may pass the bill more near
ly in agreement with HiCkeyS origi-
nal plan than had been expected.
Another strong objection to the
bill as it left the Senate judiciary
Committee was that it provided for
grand jury sessions in seven judi
Cial districts in the State. Amend
ments providing for but one or pos
sibly two grand jury seats are ready
to be introduced as soon as the bill
comes before the Senate.

a new record was established with
forty-three fires in the eight hours

Saturday TO midnight Sunday there
were sixty-five fires.
Fire Chief John J. O'Brien at
tributed most Of the fires to careless
ness in overfiring in cold weather.
Overheated furnaces and sparks on
shingle roofs caused fifty of the
fires.
If people had exercised caution
and determined if their furnaces and
nues were in proper shape, most of
the fires could have been avoided"
O'Brien said.
Work of the department was
praised by OBrien.
Exact origin Of the Moravian
Church fire is undetermined. a val
liable organ was destroyed and only
the walls of the church remain. The
church had been occupied Saturday
night, and church officials reported
the furance fires properly banked.
