Tomorrow night at the Y, W. C, A., the American Legion basketball team will meet its toughest opponent and will demonstrate It's ability 10 meet the class of the state when the Hartford DiXies stack up against them in the Thursday night tilt here.
 The Legion five is all steamed up over meeting last years champions and although the Dixies have drop. ped q number of games this year. the scores have been so close that there was no disgrace in losing them. The team has been travelling at furious pace and its lineup has been intact.
 The DiXics have been beaten twice by the National Guards but each lime the score was within margin of five points difference. The Hart ford crew realizes that it will mean q big setback for them 10 be taken in by another New Britain five and for this reason, inc Spcedboys art all set 10 play through for win.
 Giraitus and Holmquist arc a neat pair of forwards and they will give Arburr, Carrozza or Nyborg all they can do to hold them in check. Hols will be extended to the full limit f he is to play his usual game agains Hoitarth. while Jasper, Luke or Bel ser will buck up against that stellar pair, Hafner and Waterman.
 The Hartford manager states tha he is bringing another player herr tomorrow night but he would no divulge his identity. He claims tha i the New Britain fans will be sur priscd to see the new man trot ol the floor, but no suspicion is beinj cast on any of the stars in Hartford It is suspected that Kerr of Man chester will probably be the man.
 The Burritts will hook up in tn preliminary game, but their oppo nents are not yet known. The Ma tional Guard Reserves have bee, sought but no announcemet has bee made whether the two teams hay come to terms.
 Chick" Hayes will referee an dancing will follow the games.

CUBS TURNING ID
 IRISH FOR HELP
Owner William Wrieley Throws
 Away Band on Bank Roll

Chicago. Jan. 20 P,-The Chicago National league baseball club. the Cubs, have turned to the Irish to re- cover from their disastrous season of last year, and Owner William Wrigley has thrown away the rubber band on the bank roll.
 The leader of the Irish Invasion is Joe Mccarthy, former manager of the Louisville, American Asso- citation team, who will pilot the Cubs this year.
 Mccarthy brought with him from the Louisville club Maurice Shan non. shortstop, who will fill the gap left by the departure of Rabbit" Maranyille for Brooklyn,
 Joe Kelly, of Toronto, the home run king of the International league last year, was McCarthys next pur- ! chase. He slammed the ball over the fence for thirty round trips last year.
 Jimmy Cooney, an iniielder. was obtained from St. Louis i'll a trade 1 for Vic Keen, pitcher. Howard Fitzgerald q Texas league outficld prospect, was recalled from l Wichita Falls.
 As coach and assistant coach, l Mccarthy has obtained the services Of Jimmy Burke, former manager l of the Toledo club, and Mike Doolan, once famous as a shortstop for the Phillics,
 These seven, Mccarthy Shannon, Kelly, Cooney, Fitzgerald, Burke and Doolan, are the majority of the new talent infused into the Chicago northsde club this winter in the hope of lifting 1t out of the cellar.
 The club today has one of the greatest arrays of young talent for outfcld bcrths in its history There are dozen from whom Mccarthy may select his regulars.
 The inheld list also / has beer heightened by several newcomers but new pitchers are scarce as tn, club already was fairly well fixed 1T that respect. There are q dozcT twirlens from whom Mccarthy vii select about eight to carry througi the season.
 The catchcrs include the same olc . trio, "Gabby" Hartnett. who, as { fellow Celt will welcome the visiting Irishmen, Mike Gonzales and Jacl Curry
 In short. the Cubs have a wealtl of material, and a new manage who brought p"nnantS frequently {, Louisville in the American Associa ton race. The squad will mak the earliest start for the training camp station in major league his tory, arriving February fl, al Cata lima Island of the Pacific coas, Mccarthy has announced he vii abandon the mountain climbin workouts Of some of his prplcccs sors, and expects to bring the soua
