 The Mohawks certainly arc . modest crew. Sunday they went to Middletown and won game Go but apparently tried to keep their victory q secret for their W. k. and energetic press agent failed to mem ton the fact.
 Their rivals. the Rangers, laid off Sunday having no opponent to play.
 The National Guard basketball outfit is rounding into good form and the opening game should find them anything but ragged.
 1t will be remembered that this fast stepping outfit finished the sea- son with . bang last spring, and reports have It that fhe boys have been practicing all summer and their eagle eyes are working to per- lection. With the factory league ready to get under way 1t seems surprising that the Machine company has not team entered.
 This company in the past has turned out some good quintets and has won three or four champion ships but has nevor been called upon to defend them. Among some of the more lively athletes at the Machine company there is keen disappointment that no team is enrolled this year. The Corbin Red Sox win have their final get-togettcr session at the club house tonight. There will be dinner and some entertaining post prandial exercises.
 Manager Clarence Lanpher of the National Guard basketball team is getting to look more like Tex Rick ard every day. With hIS new outfit of powder blue Clarence was easily picked as the sports impresario at the football field last Sunday.
 The game in Waterbury on the 23d, when New Britain and the Blues clash again, should be hum- dinger.
 While the work of the officials last Sunday is in no way mentioned as an alibi, there were some in- stances however, in which they did not look any too good. The head linesman especially, seemed off at times.
 kcefe. likewise, came in for some criticism. !,
 
 The baseball tourists seem to be getting their fill of the old country, and we suspect they are getting their fill of other things, too.
 Charges that the teams are using professional players indicate Cali .fornia is progressing rapidly in the development of the American form Of football.
 They say anything is possible in h1seball and yet we never expect to seS a closeup of Ban Johnson kiss ing Judge Landis on the forehead. Cobb says no runner will ever get anywhere without q hookslide. ss+ Nevertheless Mir. Coolidge seems perfectly satisfied with a landslide. This is undoubtedly the day of miracles. The hot stove league is a month old and nobody has traded Eddie Collins to the Yankees. E A Swedish gent can throw a jaye- , lin 800 inches farther with his right | hand than with his left. That probably explains why eggs have shells. Yale says nothing doing to a game | with Notre Dame. s' Which re- minds us that nobody sat in an electric chair for the fun of 1t.
 An expert ayers Battling Siki doesn't even known the A B C's of | boxing. This may be because he has spent 50 much time trying to master the D. T.'s.
 Jimmy De Forrest is now teach ing boxing by mail. You gotta at least be able to lick q stamp to get in his class. - l Connie Mack has convinced the writers that he has . winning com- bination. - Convincing the other seven teams. however. may be hard CT,
