.HOPEV|LLE FACES
 BOYS CLUB HERE
Holds Two Victories Over
 Locals, Who Seek Revenge

Subs;-Scaffatunn Adams.
 Hopeville!
 The biggest and fastest home game of the season is promised at the Boys club this evening. when the Hopeville Speed Boys of Wator- bury will face the clubs fast travel ling quintet. Although many oppon- ents with big regulations have gone under big scores in the past few weeks, there is no danger of Hope vile doing this, for they arc positive ly known to be one, of the fastest amateur teams in the state and have demonstrated this to the entire satis- faction of the locals by defeating them twice already this season, there by capturing two of the three lost by the club this year.
 The Speed Boys took the first game. 49-37, in Waterbury, their Lightning forward, Darlington, bom- barding the hoop for Ii baskets. Then they came to this city and won again, 27-20. Each team was so inn pressed by the other that third contest was arranged, and there has been little talk at the Boys club of |anything besides Hopefle for many weeks.
 Darlington and Brady, the fleet forwards of the visitors, are fastest pair that the locals have encounter ed, and the guards have terrible time keeping track Of them. Frank Arburr, who has done good work for the club and for P. & r. Corbin, will endeavor to stop Darlington to- night, while. Nyborg will have his hands full with Brady. Dubuque, Mazzerella, and Frey are also rated 1 high among Brass City hoopsters, while Scaffatunn and Adams would be regulars on almost any other team Captain Mickey Luke and his fer wards, Anderson and Kerelejza, are looking to the guards to block Hope ville's offensive and they are positive of rolling up the score.
 In previous games with the Speed Boys. the locals have been nervous. but they are now so accustomed to smashing opponents winning streaks that they expect to play cool and careful game. Last week they dis posed of the Heights of South Man chester, the other team which de- feated them, and they hope to pull the same stunt tonight.
 Tho Boys club Reserves will play the Ally A. '. ot Farmingt11 in thu preliminary. Dancing will follow the main contest, the club orchestra fur nishing music.

PRESIDENT SAILS
ON WEEK END CRUISE
Trip Probably Last Until After He
Returns From Two Months
Vacation.

President and Mrs. Coolidge and a.
few friends will spend this week end
aboard the yacht Mayf1ower, cruising
about the lower Potomac River and
Chesapeake Bay. 1t is thought by
those about the White House that this
will likely be the Presidents last
cruise in these Waters before going
on his vacation, on the North Shore
of Massachusetts, for which he will
leave June %.
Next Saturday the President will
be SO busily engaged cleaning his desk
of routine matters, and. making final
preparations for his leaving the CITY
for nearly two months, that he will
in all probability be forced to forego
the pleasure of a Mayf1ower cruise.
The vessel, however, will go to the
Massachusetts, water to be at the
Presidents disposal whenever he feels
like making a cruise during his vaca-
ton.
Those who will accompany the Pres
ident and Mrs. Coolidge are: Secre-
tary of State and Mrs. Kellogg. Gen
Pershing, Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune,
commandant of the Marine Corps, and
Mrs. Lejeune and Arthur Brisbane.

STRONGER DEFENSE.
FOR HAWAII URGED.
Experts Advise Doubling Air
Force in Islands - Huge
Coast Guns Recommended.

Increases in both the land and naval
defenses of the Hawaiian Islands are
recommended in the joint report of
Admiral Coontz and Maj. Gen. Hines,
chief umpires of the recent Army
Navy maneuvers, which tested the
adequacy of the present garrison and
it's equipment to repulse a surprise
attack in forces.
The recommendations include the
addition to two 16-inch rifles to the
battery defenSeS in the vicinity of
Pearl Harbor, the addition of several
thousand men to the Army garrison,
the virtual doubling of the active and
reserve airplane component of the
garrison. and the inclusion in the
Hawaiian naval district permanent
forces of a considerable number of
additional defense submarines.
Two copies of the joint report were
prepared and that bearing the sigma
ture of Admiral Coontz has been trans
mitted by the Navy Department to the
joint Army-Navy board for considera-
ton. The results of the technical
study of the maneuvers, which was
made by large group of Army and
Navy officers, are embodied in the
joint reports.
The general character of these con-
clusions was indicated in a recent
statement by Gen. Hines, which de-
clared that the maneuvers had def
nitely established the inadequacy of
the present garrison in both Army
personnel and aircraft.

Sweeney leaped aboard, felled one
gunman with blow of his fist, and
the other bleeding from a leg wound,

Revenge Was Expected.
The excitement led residents of the
neighborhood to declare that four men
had been shot in the one basement
where Genna was wounded, and many
persons believed that hundreds of
shots had been fired by a much larger
force than the men actually involved.
The battle, however. is believed by
the police to have had a connection
with another shooting earlier, in
which police heads suspect that an
attempt was made to avenge the
death of Angelo Genna. beer running
gangster, who lived with his bride at
an expensive hotel where he and his
associates piled their trade.
Young Genna, who had $11 900 in
currency on his person when he was
assassinated, was driving his auto

five men in an automobile fired a

but all were spirited away before the
