NEW BRITAIN CLUB
 SURE OF A TIE
Defeats Bristol S5-2l, in Hard
 Fought Battle
State League Standing

The New Britain Boys club Re- serves assured themselves of at least a tie in the State league by sending Bristol down to its fourth straight defeat last night in the Bell City, the final score being S1-22. New Britain is now a full game ahead of Meriden. so that the best that the boys from Kid Kaplauville can hope for is tie and a play off, which New Britain can forestall by defeating Bristol again in the final game between these two teams.
 The game was exceptionally fast from start to finish, Abe Aronson started the Reserves with q field goal. Rao tied this up, but Abe was not to be denied and Tipped a pair of floor shots through the netting. Captain Andy Yakubowicz, who was closely guarded all night, dropped in one and Bigge followed. Bristol scored again and the teams battled six points apart until the end of the first half, when the score was 15-9.
 Hilu5 was uullc dll III ITOIll Il6 close guarding to which he had been subjected by the whole Bristol team, so Pete Zapatka was sent in to take his place in the third quarter. New Britain continued it's pace until near the end of this period. when Bristol made a last despairing rush. The Reserves weathered this and went OH to win. Andy returned in the last quarter and immediately made his second field goal, while Bigge and Aronson piled Up the score. The final tally was S3-2i.
 v Aronson and Bigge starred for the New Britain club. getting z and 6 field goals apiece. Andy was out of luck, as he was being watched too closely. The local g,srds held their men to single basket apiece. Rao, BristoPs new player, was their big gun, getting 13 points from guard and holding Andy to 5, and Mellino played hard game at center.
 The score.

MANDELL WINNER
 OVER FLASHY SID
Gets Decision in Spectacular
 Garden Fight
]y The Associated Press.

New York, Feb. "A flash of lightweight lightning struck last night but only scratched its mark. Sid Ferris, of New York, widely heralded as the fastest man of his weight and leading contender for the crown forfeited by Benny Leon- adr. went down 10 defeat before the furious, tireless onslaught of Sammy Mandell, of Rockford, H., in one of the most sensational lightweight battles fought in many a year in Madison Square Garden
 Mandell gained the judges deci- sion after F rounds of spectacular fighting in which his aggressiveness. dcadlier and more accurate hitting offset the dazzling speed and bril- liant boxing of Ferris.
 The verdict was received with mingled feelings by a crowd of 13,- 900 that jammed the Gardan to it's rafters but among newspapermen at the rngside, opinions was almost unanimous in favor of Mandell. He was generally conceded six of the 12 rounds, with two credited 10 Ferris and four classed as even. So close and stirring was the battling, however, that there was little to choose at any stage of the fray, al- though Mandell finished the strong CT of the two.
 Drawing Room Exhibition
 The fight started with the air of a drawing room exhibition--Terris, curly-haired and smiling; Mandell, dark -haired and dapper as they danced and spared about the ring. But from jabbing setto, it deveI- oped with sudden swiftness in the third round into a hand-to- hand struggle that for three successive rounds had the crowd on it's feet yelling in frenzied excitement.
 During these three rounds--the third. fourth and ffth-both threw all cautiok to the winds. They stood toe to toe in terrific series of eS changes that left both tottering. Mandell took a count of one in the third, the only knockdown of the fight after a right to the jaw.
 But the westerncr came back in the fourth 10 drive Ferris 10 cover with a battering attack to the head and body, The fifth saw Ferris come back. Mandells knees quiv- cred and he was bleary-eyed from a rattling drive 10 the head. He fought back gamely and Ferris hlod from cuts about the nose and neck. One solid shot, it seemed would have sent either man to the canvas. but the finishing blow was not there.
 Fifth Ends Fireworks
 The fifth round ended the fire works. Ferris. apparently, had shot his bolt, for he remained largely on the defensive, for the rest of the fight: while Mandell, always rush ing. steadily piled up the points that gave him victory. Mandell had three pounds advantage in weight scaling 1884 to 13O3l for Ferris.
