The Emerald A. C., flashing q bril- liant passing game that completely bewildered their opponents, swept 10 a decisive. win over the strong so- kol A. c. last evening, 4i-2S.
 Brombcrg started hostilities when he slapped in double decker from the center of the court that gave the wearers of the green a lead that the Sokols never passed. Shot after shot was dropped in by the Emerald sharp shooters and at mid time they led by the comfortable margin of 21-5, Capt, Link being the only one to break through tho strong defense of the green.
 The Emoralds started from where they hnd left off and proceeded to run np 8 large score. Saunders and Casey ran wild and swished the netting with great regularity.
 With time waning the sokols be- gan a last desperate attack and led by Link who sunk four sensational double dcckers from mid-court they came within striking distance of the green. This was only momentary as the Casey-saunders combination put on full steam and put the game on ice. Bromberg gave a brilliant exhibition at center, while defense of the guards was perfect. Captain Link and Joe Grip played the lead ing rolls for the losers. N. Cher pack also played creditable game. Johnny Grip handled the game in a very satisfactory manner. Score:

FRIGERIO AND PLANT
 COMPETING TONIGHT
Two Face Each Other Tonight In 10000 Metre Walking Con

 Ugo Frigerio of Italy. Europe's best, and Willie Plant, America s champion, will face each other in a 10,000-metre walking contest, the distance at which Frigerio earned his laurels, For six years the little Italian was unbeaten. Then Plant came into his track life and he lost three successive races. Phil Gran vile of Canada captured two others from him.
 Frigerio has made his reputation in the outdoors but has announced that he will not remain for cinder- path competition in the United States this summer. He has planned to sail for Italy on April II.
 Again the question of Frigerio's walking style has arisen, but Plant said yesterday that if the judges be. lieyed the Italian had walked fin proper form in score of races there can be no criticism at this late day, Three officials will have charge of tonight's event

Rogers Himself Gives His Views
 on His Batting Chances

Stockton. Calif., March 2s. - h Rogers Hornsby, premier batsman oi the National league, going to beat Ty Cobb's record of nine years con. secutive batting championships?
 Will he ever excell the long stand, ing batting record of .43s made bS Hughcy Duffy in 1sst?
 "Nothing iS impossible" says Hornsby. Its up to the individuaI entirely. ".'
 Eve beaten Hans Wagner's record of four years batting leadership in the National. have only four years more to 90 to- equal Cobb's record, and one year after that to beat him. I'm still hitting them right siong-- so why not?
 "If you want to hit, you must think you're going to hit. self-as- surance Is great thing in baseball, but the greatest single factor in hh- ting.
 "The plate is 1T inches wide. 4 strike ball is one crossing between the knee and the shoulder. When q strike comes over--hit 1t.
 There's no use trying to outguess pitchers, There's only one ruie--, hit them when they come over.
 "Duffy's long standing mark oi .45S was made in the days when foul strikes didn't count. But bat ters are better now, and they may eventually offset Duffy's fouI-strike advantage"
 Are the batters better, or do they face poorer pitching, In these days of fat averages?
 "A little of both" says Hornsby We have many pitchers who can strike out three or four in TOW when nobody's on base, then blow up when they get in A pinch. But there are still some clever heavers--the boys who count on putting them over so the batters hi to some fielder, and then tighten UT and do their headwork when head, work is needed.
 "To the good batter, all pitchers lcok alike. We: all are liable 10 slnmps, but changing style doesn't help a llt. If you can hit, the breaks will eventually come your way again.
 ''It is good business 10 watch other real hitters, and improve your own batting when you can pick up sonne good pointers. but
 Don't guess-hit 'em when they come over."

COMBS SAVES HIS TEAM FROM LOSING
Tanks Finally Get A Tie-'
 Other Dope From Camps

New York, March 2S.--Long range artlllery in the Yankees lineup that has been conspicuously effective on lmajor league diamonds was silenced yesterday at Savannah, Ga. by minor league pitching in a game with the Rochester Internationals, and it fell to the lot of the newly installed reg ular, Earl Combs, 10 save the former American league champions from defeat,
 His home run in the ninth with one on tied the score at A after his double in the third had figured in the only previous scoring success Of the New York club. The. game stretched fruitlessly two innings be- yond the regulation period. where upon officials called it day.
 The result carried a potion of en- couragement, however, for the Brooklyn Dodgers, who left their training camp in Jacksonville, Fla, to resume n series with the Huggins cohorts today at Jacksonville. Man ager Robinson took with him a squad Of II pitchers, four catchers, eight infetders and five outfieIders. This outfit will be augmented at Bir- mingham Monday, it is expected, by Pitchers Burleigh Grimes and Art l Decatur.
 The Giants fared much better than their erstwhile Manhattan world series rivals, bsgging their second straight game from the Toledo American association nine. to c. in mud and rain. Pitchers Ryan and Huntzinger limited opposing batters 10 four hits, while Wilson led the New York attack with a round-trip drive and a single.
 The National league champions to- day will resume major league play in a game with the world champion Washington Senators.

MATS HAVE LAST
 CHANCE AT DYKES
Hartford Boys Giving Them
 Opportunity for 2-t Series

With the basketball season rapid ly drawing 10 a close, tonights event at the armory brings the Hartford Dixies for their third and final visit.
 The first visit of the green suited boys from Hartford was on Febru- ary 14. The Mats had been going like a streak and were the general favorites to win but they were nosed out by the visitors Al to S7. That was great game though. and one that was won by Hartford's shooting guards for Wardy Waterman shot in nine points and Hafner ten. Carlo Restelli was New Britan's ace that night with Is points for his team.
 The next meeting was on March '. the night before the Dixies start ed on their western trip, and again the Mats were the favorites for 1t was figured by the dopesters that they certainly would even up the series Instead however, they took the floor in an awful fog, while the Dixies were at the top of their form. ! Details of the game are remembered without refreshment to the mental organs. At half time the DiXies led IS to Ii but at they close they were ahead A to o7, having given New Britain one of the worst beatings of the year.
 Hope springs ever eternal in the human breast and basketball play CTS are nothing if not human. So tonight they hope not only to win one game from the Dixies, but also 10 properly avengc themselves for their two defeats. All the boys are repcNcd as feeling fit and as they have had an easy week, with but one game there's no reason why they should be accused of "too mucl, basketball" The usual lineup will be presented.
 The Dixies will bring their regular lineup and while Captain Tommy Murphy may not play the entire game. there is possibility that he will take the floor for time.
 Preliminary Game l The preliminary game will brins together the A. L. A. five of this city and the K. of L. quintet from Waterbury. The locals have one vic. tory over the Waterbury outfit this season.
 Dick Dillon will referee both games.
