On the otherhand, Pat. Mccarthy is a fighting Irishman, whose real ambition is to get along so that he can meet the best men in the game. He can take as well as he can give and there are some who, without seeing Person have the hunch that Mac will take the Swede on points. This will be decided at Monday nights swat fest.

The officials for the game will be appointed by Joseph Carr. president of the National Football league, and will be selected from the staff of of ficials in the league. This hit Ed bailey just right because it elimin- ates any chance of an argument over officials such as broke up the series last year.

A word of explanation as to why Armistice Day has been chosen as one of the dates. might well be in order. Mullgan told Daley yester- day that he knew that the teams would meet some time or other this season and he realized that a Sun- day date would be indeal for the fans of both Hartford and New Bri tain. He tried in every way possible to call off his National League dates on Sundays but President Joseph Carr absolutely refused to allow him 10 interrupt in any way the league schedule.
New Britain herald., 1926-11-03

This left him with no alternative other than to offer Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day as the dates for the meetings of the team. No discussion was had relative to a third game but should each team win one, then third will probably be played.
New Britain herald., 1926-11-03

From the reports of the meeting, it can readily be seen that the ru- mors about George Mulligan which were floating through the air on all sides, have not been founded on fact and subsequent offers of the Hart ford man tend to prove that he has never been other than friendly to New Britain.
New Britain herald., 1926-11-03

This was a great sacrifice on the part of the Hartford promoter as can readily be seen by New Britain fans. Barnikow left Mulligan flat and this would be sore spot in any mans make up. but Muligan. show ing once again his broadness, wiped the entire matter off the slate yes- terday by his proposition at the meeting with Manager Daley.

Person lost his first fight to Bud" German at Madison Square Garden the other night. He was away ahead of his opponent when he was disqualified for low hitting and the bout was awarded to Cor man on a foul.

In all his previous fights, he has quickly disposed of most of his op- ponents. Those who witnessed the Dempsey -Tunney fight at Philadel- phia, can well attest to the fact that Person is a punisher of no mean ability.

Charley German of st. John, out
door ice skating champion of Can

the finish line of the five-mile final

points.
German. tied with O'Neil Farrell,
young Chicagoan. at the end of yes
terdays program gained his new title
by winning both of today's events,
at 40 yards and five miles. Farrell
made a thrilling bid for the crown
in the $40 but fell near the end and
his claim of foul failed, although
one judge is said to have agreed
With him.
There was great disappointment
over the showing of Clas Thunberg
of Finland, champion of the 1924
Olympics. He gained only 10 points,
a third place yesterday. -
German gained four first places
and one second in amassing his
points. The two mile event on open

A1pert said that he went to Mayor
Quigley early in the year of 1922 and
asked if he would be permitted to man

him that he would send "a young man"
to see him. Alpert said that Carbon
subsequently called on him and that he
paid 800 a week for seven or eight
weeks.
During the summer he again went

never raided by the Chelsea police, the
witness declared, but said that he was
twice raided by federal officers. After

said, he resumed operations and pay

stopped after second federal raid.
He also mentioned making various pay

KENT'S HILL AND
CObURN TO PLAY
AUGUSTA SATURDAY

The fast prep school aggregations
represent Coburn Classical INSTITUTE
Of Waterville and Kent's Hill will
meet in a prep school title clash at
Augusta City hall Saturday night.
Coburn has played but one game in
the prep school class, losing a tough
game to NJ. G. l. at Pittsfield last
week.
The Hilltoppers at Kent's Hill are
represented by one Of the most pow
erful clubs that ever came down off
the hill. Every team that has played
them this year has finished sadder
and wiser and the results have all
been lop sided.
Rollo Finn, former Westbrook ace,
is back in the game and as fast and
clever as ever. Barry of South Port
land, a center of All Maine calibre
while playing for South Portland,
plays one of the forward positions.
The other forward berth is occupied
by Malcolm Tapley, former Bangor
star and heavy scorer for the
Crimson. His former teammate,
Steve CCasper, Is firmly embedded in
Harbor and several other stars COM
plete the aggregation.
The star Of the Coburn team is
Captain Martoski. Martoskis superb
shooting kept Coburn in the running
against Pittsfield and as a defeat by
Kents Hill will practically eliminate
the Waterville team from the run
ming, fast battle should result.

j. S. Lewis and Sheriff George w.
Stukey. Haver was arraigned, enter
ing a technical plea of not guilty to
first degree murder.
Appearing before the magistrate
without the services of an attorney,
he said: II choked my wife to death
but did not do it with malice afore-
thought, nor did I premeditate it, but
did it in self defense" Haver was
bound over to the grand jury with
out bond. and was reeommitted to
jail. Unless Prosecutor Patrick de-
cides to call special grand jury, the
case will not be brought up until the
regular April session.
Haver's plea of self defense was in
accord with his confession to three
county officials irf which he said he
had choked his wife after she hit him
with shoe. In the confession, he
said after he choked her, he laid, her
on a couch and went out for a walk.

For Lenglen Match

day off at the Gallia tournament yes
terday Helen Wills went over to
Nice and inspected the courts of the
Imperial Club. where she probably
will meet Suzanne Lenglen in
match which her heart is yearning
for.
And the California girl was cha
peroned on the tour by no less per-
son than Suzanne herself. A bumper
of champagne was drunk and the two
one another as regards health. but
neither of them delved into the sub
ject of tennis. The French girl took
particular pains to point out the CEN
ter court Of the club on which she
sent down Mrs. Mallory to defeat in
1923.
Next Saturday Suzanne is to let it
be known whether she will play in
the singles at Nice next Monday.
Miss Wills is entered into the tour
nament. Suzanne reiterates her
statement of December 10 that it is
her purpose as announced before the
arrival of the American girl, that
she. will play in the singles in three
tournaments.
