Within three minutes of the final whistle Middeltown added two long field goals and one free.try bringing the score up within one point Of New Britain. New Britain holding the lead by one point re- tained possession of the ball and by accurate pass work prevented Mid dletown from scoring, thereby add ing another victim 10 their string Of victories.
 Both teams put up stellar brand of basketball rcsorting 10 short pass work with the idea of working the ball close 10 the goal in order 10 make the try for goal sure. AS both goals are go constructed that long shooting Is next 70 impossible very little scoring was done by either side. The New Britain five man de fcnse prevented MlddletoWn from breaking through so that most of their points were made by long shooting in the last few moments Of play in a desperate attempt to cut down New Britain's lead.
 AS Iiierpe and Haber were covered , thoroughly by Middletown's defcn- sive work and close guarding, New Britain changed it's tactics in the sec ond half when SaSe guard and Joe Luke broke through several times 1 for points. Joe Luke caged three double dnckers and Saxe two, Haber and Hjerpo ono. Yankaska and Saxe smearcd the Middleto~n forwards 1 attempts 10 score.
 Gustafson and Fountain hung onto the heels of Haber and Hjerpe all evening and this pair of forwards though they sQuirmed their way through were forced 10 hurry their shots which would not stay put. Cahil center for Mddletown caged two pretty goals from the center of the floor. Luke was high scorer for New Britain and Cahill was high man for MddletoWn.
 Big Ch!of" Larsen afflicted with a severe cold sat on the side lines watching all the plays intcntiy and noticing that the New Britain team was working smoothly thought 1t best to let them continue without making any changes in the lineup.

Avalon, Catalina Island, March 29 ---Ono new manager and barrel Of dough have injected new life into Bill Wriglcy's gum chewing Chicago Cubs--thc worst team in the Ma tional league last year
 Joe Mccarthy, who led Louisville 10 the championship of the Ameri- can Association in 1925, is the new boss. The money was spent for new players Among them arc Lefty" ODoul, Joe Kelly, Charley Root, Clyde Beck and Red" Shannon.
 Three managers couldn't drag the Cubs out of the cellar last season. Bill Killeter, Rabbit" Maranrillc and Johnny EverG tried and each in turn failed. But Silent Joe" Nc Carthy, dubbed this because of his refusal to comment on his team, is expected to have better success.
 Hard daily workouts and eX- hibi'ion games with Pacific Coast leaguo clubs have been the roads trayeed by the Bruins during the spring training season at their million-dolla camp,
 Our pitching staff looks eXccp- tionally strong this year." declares Manag>r Mccarthy, though Grover AleXan1cr's injury will hurt for the first weeks Of the chase. Hes still tbe bnct ,,,a,,NAep,1o ir tba lao e,ra however, and I look for him 10 turn in over 20 wins, providing he re- turns to top-notch shape.
 Then there's Tony Kaufmann. who is always d dependabl ble man in the box. Charley Root. sensation al ight-hander with the Los An gelcs club last year, should come through for us, too. If could pick up couple Of good southpaws my pitching worries would be over."
 And with that spcech-an eX- trcmely long one for him--"S Silent Joc' withdrew into his shell. Bill Piercy, Fred Blake. Jack Welsh and Clayton Touchstono arc the others who have | chance 10 remain on Wrigleys payroll as hurlers. "Gabhy' Hartnett, who has moro pep than any other three men on the club combined, will do most of the work behind the plate. Hart. nett is starting his fifth season with the Windy City outfit and hc still has thc enthusiasm Of an 1S-ycar. old rookie. There isn't another ! hackstop in the league can throw like he can. Mike Gonzales and Earl Gilpin will relieve Hartnett
 The int1cld H.il be pretty well handled by Charley Grimm at first, Earl "Sparky" Adams on second "Rrd" shannon at short and HowarL Frcigau holding down third. Grimm { Adams and Freigau are all Cut veterans. Mccarthy brought shan. non with him from Louisville. II. is a vet Of the majors, having played under Connie Mack at Phila delphia and with the Boston Re- Soy.
 Almost an entire set of new face will appear in inc outficld. Jo | Kelly. Floyd Scott, Hack Wilson I Cliff Hcathcotc. Art Jahn and How ard Fit2gcrand will bear the brun of the work. Heathcote and Wilsol will be the only familiar nychaser 10 Cub fans.
 One Of the main differences tha
 vill bo seen in the Bruins this yea
 will be their change of spirit. l
 spirit was the only quulihcatio
 necessary they would be right O
 top Of the heap, But unfortunatel
 i' isn't, so Mccarthy will be luck ! if he gets the gang into tho fir.
 division at all.

 The Boston Braves took q Sunday off at St. Petersburg. Fla. fishing and swattinG the golf ball instead of horse hide.

But the Pirates started the day with the memory Of a double defeat at the hands Of the Mission Bears at San Francisco Sunday still in mind. Connie Mack Gloomy
 While some exceptionally favor table reports were coming out of some Of the camps, 8 bit of pessi- mlsm is being registered at q few. Connie Mack has been viewing the work of the Philadelphia Athletics at Fort Myers Fla, with gloomy nyo and released the observation that the Athletics look as bad as when they dropped l2 games in q row last year. They must wake up" Holdouts also arc giving q little concern 10 some managers, Henline and Harper of the Phillies are still missing from the Bradcntown round- up of talent, holding out for more salary, but Manager Fletcher says he is making plans for the season without them.
 Another seeker for a heavier sti- pend is Bill Terry of the Giants who wired his desires to Sarasota from 1 Memphis. Otherwise the daily record of preseason baseball endeavor was A. mixture of more or less routine news.

Reginald Denny, debonair hero of the movies supported by blonde Laura LaPlante, adds new Iaurels to his film career in "Skinner's Dress Suit" one of the features now show ing at the Lyceum. The other is Stella Maris," a wonderful story of true love and its sacrifices in which Mary Philbin takes a dual role of unusual variance. In one role she is a frail, beautiful woman of wealth and in the other she is an awkward. homely scrub-woman but with a soul of great charm. The story con- cerns four persons. Two men, friends, love the same girl and the little slavey loves one of the men and to such an extent that she gives her life for him. An unusual angle in that through 1t all the mems friendship remains steadfast.
 "Skinner's Dress Suit" is a great comedy drama. Skinner. an under paid clerk, attempts 10 do bit of four-hushing. He buys dress suit and then his troubles begin for he nas q most trying time trying to dodge his creditors. Miss LaPIante. as his doting wife who thinks he really is financially independent, adds to the comedy.
