LITHUANIANS BOW
 TO THE BOYS CLUB
Waterbury Team Subiugated:
 SS-lS, in WhirlWind Encounter
------- =

Another hoodoo was smashed by tho Boys club last night when 1t took the Knights Of Lithuania from Waterbury into camp, 3S-ls, in Il fast game on the local floor. Having broken one jinX and taken two straight the club flashed q plenty of speed last night to run It's string 10 three in q row, while Nick Gil, debonair forward Of the home team, managed to change the luck which has kept him scoroless in the last half oS every recent game and run up seven points in that session,
 The game was very fast from start 10 finish, with the club hold ing the edge all the way. Holding q 9-l lead at the quarter. the local outfit was pressed hardest in the following period, when the Lithuan- ians drew up 10 within three points at 1G-lS. Then Gotowala's men stepped on 1t again and made 1t 2t- lS at the rest period, During the third and final stanzas they contin- ucd to draw away, although neither team could do much scoring in the second half Waterbury was held to five points, while the club could roll up only l2. The last quarter was slowed by substitutions which followed the disqualification of two Lithuanians on personals and by several accidents. Gill was rammed headtirst against q wall and knocked out, but he was able to continue play.
 Joe Goffa, who Is rounding into great form after poor early sea- son start, was the star of the game, breaking into every play and fairly working his head off until he was removed for q few minutes to re- gain his breath. He scored four field goals and showed a fine eye points by that route. Gill contin- ued his usual fine work at feeding his mates for shots and in the final period began 10 find the basket him self to good effect. Zapatka worked hard, but showed too much inclin- ation to dribble. Gotowala, Silva, Levin. and Parparan had the op- posing forwards completely buffa- loed Delinks and Mazzcferro feat ured for the Knights, the former springing two nifty enchanted flips into the net. The team showed q tendency 10 rough 1t up. but they could play the game when they tried and should give the club q run when Inc return game Is played in Water bury on February IS.

lBY JOE WILLIAMS)

There may have been better fight CTS than Kid Mccoy but there weren't any triCkier oncs l. is q matter of record that Mccoy won the middlewaight title from Tommy Ryan on q trick. It is q matter of perhaps less common knowledge that Mccoy, besides tricking Ryan into the bout, won on a trick punch he had invented especially for that light.
 It wasn't the title the Kid was after when he went after d bout with the champion. lt was satis- faction for beatings and insults Ryan had hcaped upon him as | member of Eyan's training sta0io.
 Trickcry was second nature with Mccoy. When he applied for q job as sparring partner 10 Ryan he was q much bctt, r boxer than he allowed Ryan to sec. The champion wasn't noted for liboraity. He paid Kid Mccoy Sl5 q week and in return handed him terrific bcatings daily as part of his training stunt. He wouldn't even allow Mccoy to eat at the same table with him, send ing the Kid instead to nearby cafe with q meal ticket that called for q meals for two dollars and fifty cents.
 About q year after he left the camp Mccoy sent letter 10 Ryan which in substance. ran like this; Dear Tommy, l got in a lucky punch on Tommy West the other night anl knocked him out and now there's q promoter wants 10 put us on for q 5000 guarantee. Now you know m", Tommy, and how easy I'll bo for you lou have for gotten more about boxing than I ever knew, but for oll times sake, go on with mo anu we'll both make some money"
 So Ryan, looking upon tho fghl as q joke, did no training al all. The Kid went into the most utcn- sive training of his career.
 IL was during these preparations that Mccoy invented his famed "Corkscrew punch" He was look l ing down q rifle barrel one day and happened 10 notice the twisted 1 groove inside.
 What's that for" hc asked.
 ITO make the bullet go faster" he was told,
 That set Mccoy thinking. On the sam" principle. why wouldn't a fist hit harder if twisted just as it landed? He pracuccd on the blow, a short overland chop, twist ing his fist as it struck.
 Mccoy and Ryan met at Maspcth, l.. l., on March 2, 1896. As soon as the light started, Ryan knew he had been trickcd. But ii was too late then to do anything about it.
 Mccoy tried ont his "corkscrcw punch" for the first time in the second round. Ryan dropped to the floor. The knock-down. strange ly enough, really gave Mccoy big fright. He didn't want 10 knock Ryan out just then; he wanted tc carry him along. give him tho worst beating of his life.
 That fight earned for Mccoy the title Of most brutal fighter in thc ring" Ryan vas already prac. ttcally whipped but the Kid started in deliberately 10 cut him 10 pieces.
 He began on the right eye and closed that. He was careful tc leave the other eye open so Ryar could see to continue.
 Then he cut one ear open; ther he cut the other He battered tn, under lip into a pulp and battered the upper lip down. He knocked out Ryan's teeth on the right side then he knocked out those on tn, left side. Ho ground his gloves into 1 Ryan's face and rubbed the skin off Mccoy wearying Of his work, finall, ended it in the fifteenth round.

INDUSTRIAL GAMES
 ARE ON TONIGHT
Stanley Works Meets Landers
 and Machine Shop Bucks Corbins
League Standing

Strengthened by the addition ot Bill Walthers to the lineup. the Stanley Works basketball team will tonight tackle the Landers, Frary &, Clark five in the first game of the Industrial league play at the Y. M, C, A. gymnasium.
 The Buttmakcrs feel that they have been the undcrdogs long enough and for that reason, Jack Pelletier has his men all keyed up to give their best tonight in an ef- ] fort 10 set the Landers team back another peg. The Stanley Works lineup as 1t now stands with Wal thers cavorting in the game, looks as strong, if not stronger than the Landers five. Walthers not at home at the guard position, filled in for Johnny Schroeder who was a groom , last Wednesday and with John Mack back at his usual guard position, | Walthers will probably be moved up to forward position 10 alternate with | O'3rien.
 Jack Pelletier will then probably hie himself back into the guard po- sition which Is homo to him and with John Grobsten at center, the Works presents lineup of veterans that should make the grcen-shirtcd Universal lads step 10 win.
 On the other hand, Johnny Shce- han has prepared against any sur prises and his team is out 10 win the game tonight.
 COrbins ys. Machine
 One of the biggest upsets on the calendar Wonld be to have the New Britain Machine five turn about and beat the league leading Corbin quin- tet, but this is just what Charlie Miller's charges arc planning to do 1 tomorrow night. It was at first re- ported that the Machine shop would have Tommy Reynolds and several others in the lineup but although l Reynolds became an cmploye of tn" company, he got through before h" played a game.
 A new man, named Turner, who appears 10 know the game and can handle himself. will be seen In the Machine lineup tonight He added to the team, will give it 8 stronger offensive and hot battle is in store for the Corbin Screw.
 Coach Harry Ginsberg will use hie first team at the start in order 10 check any attempt that Miller may make to beat his crew and he In tends to give the first string men Il rest If things go along good. His men have been turning in some good games and they are far from being over confident of victory. The on" defeat suffered by the team was at the hands of the F, &: E. five and followers of the quintet expert tn- nights game to be an easy one for the team.
 The first contest will start prompt ly at s o'clock. Chick" Hayes will referee and dancing will follow. All tho factories are expected to hay" large numbers of rooters on hand.

THE RESIN RIFLE

The resin rule in baseball is all right in theory, according to Miller Higgins, manager Of the New York Yankees.

IL all depends on how far the umpire can so in controlling it."
