WALLACE REFUSES RETURN
 BOUT WITH KID" KAPLAN
Offered "Shot' in the Garden and Also Four Times Money He Received, But Won't Sign on Dotted Line-Man Who Knocked Out Former Feather weight Champion Wants to Cash in" on Laurels- Louis to Meet Either Lew Paluso or Billy Petrole

Efforts to bring Billy Wallace, the Cleveland lightweight who has the distinction of being the first battler to knock out Louis (Kid; Kaplan, former featherweight champion of the world, into the ring against the Meriden 'windmill' again, have proved unavailing so far. conver- sation with Kaplan yesterday dis closed. Wallace has been offered by Billy Gibson, kaplan's manager, four times as much money as he received in the recent fight and even a chance to show his wares in Mad ison Square Garden. the mecca for all those who follow prize fighting as profession, but he has lent a deaf ear to all proposals.
 T really don't blame him." said Kaplan, because it is a business proposition with him." This Is taken to mean that Wallace and his manager now see chance for the Cleveland lightweight to clean up a little "easy dough" before tackling the Meriden man again.
 Kaplan has been working out steadily every day in his quarters in Meriden, and he chose yesterday for a day of rest. He visited New Britain, and as is his custom when ever in the Hardware City, he paid visit to Patsy Bridget, one of his valued friends, in Bridgett's Smoke Shop on Church street.
 For a fighter who has been the champion of the featherweights and who. despite the knockout at the hands of Wallace in Cleveland this month, is still regarded as the next lightweight champion of the world, ] Kaplan is the most modest and un- assuming person we have ever met. A cauliflower ear and a twisted nose are mute evidences of his profession, but his meek talk and his unassum- ing manner would belle his calling.
 In speaking of Wallace, kaplan paid him the highest tribute one fighter could give another. How is | Wallace as a fighter?" he was asked. "Very good" he promptly answered, and he made it plain that his quail ification of him wasn't because Wal lace had knocked him out. T think I can beat him the next time we meet" he remarked.
 Kaplan was asked what he was going to do to the next fighter he meets, and he answered, Well, he'll be just like men, human, you know, with two legs and arms. Maybe I'll lick him and maybe I won't" Certainly Kaplan doesn't consider himself unbeatable.
 Kaplan told of comical turn the fight in Cleveland with Wallace took. Billy Gibson and Denny Mc- Mahon were in his corner. Kaplan had things about all his own way in the fight and was away ahead on points. Gibson, who had lately taken over the managerial reins of the former featherweight champion from Denny McMahon, was sitting in his corner for the first time.
 AS Kaplan piled up point after point. Gibson smiled broadly. In the fatal round. in which Louis re- ceived the knockout blow Gibson affectionately threw his arm over

HIGH TEAM BEATS
 50. MANCHESTER
Locals Overcome Six Point Lead
 to Win Tough Game

Overcoming six point lead which the South Manchester team had collected in the first part of the game, the New Britain High school finished strongly to win 3s to 22 victory in game played in South Manchester last night. ..
 Captain Marion Zaleski, after dis couraging success in the Weaver High school game, came back strong last night and scored 20 of his teams 3S points. The team started with the regular lineup for the first time this season, and Its playing won 1t many compliments from the Silk Town fans who packed the Recreation gymnasium to see the home team take the first defeat of the season.
 "Red' Matulis returned to the lineup for the first time this sea- son and played sensationally at guard with Eddie Sowka. Al Hav- lick and Frank McGrath fed their captain throughout the contest and kicked in with few baskets them- selves.
 Toward the latter part of the game Bromberg went in at guard in place of Sowka. and Carlson substi- tuted at forward in Havlick's posi- tion.
 Off to Good Start
 The Silk Town team got off to a big start and at one time in the early part of the first quarter had an 8 to 2 lead. On the first play, McGrath tapped to Zaleski, who made clean long shot from the middle of the floor. Captain Hol- land evened the count. A. Boggini made a foul and a field goal, and German made field goal to bring the score to 2. German was hacked as he was about to shoot and he made one of his two free tries. Zaleslli made field and a foul goal and as the quarter ended the scocA was to 5.
 Matulis made foul, and Havlick tied the score on a hook shot. Hav- lick broke the tic with a foul goal, but Holland dropped in a goal from the floor that gave his team a one- point 12 to H. margin, McGrath made it F to 12 Zaleski's field goal made it IS to 12. N. Boggini sank q short shot for his teams 14th point and just before the half ended Zalesli came through for his fourth field goal and his teams 17th point.
 He started the third quarter with field goal Sowka slipped through the opposition for a field goal. Zaleski made it 23 on another goal from the floor, and McGrath took his turn as the 25 mark was clicked off. "Tubby' Lacoss made a short shot for a field goal, but Matulis evened matters. German made it IS and Holland made it 19 before Matulis could make another foul goal
 New Britain's score increased from 29 to 36 while the game pro- gressed on South Manchesters side of the floor. NIatulis and Zaleski played an important part in the drive. La Cross made a foul and a field goal and South Manchester was through for the night. Me Grath scored New Britain's last points.

lAC 4NdllOlldI UdSkGlDdll team of this city will stack up against the seasons sensation in basketball circles at the state armory on Arch street tonight when it meets the aggregation gathered to- gether by Sam Pite known as Sam Pite's Collegians. This will be the best attraction that the fans have seen here his season and the local team is in for very strenuous eve ming.
 The Collegians have already dis played their superiority by taking a fall out of the Meriden Endees and nothing would please them more, es- pecially Pite, their leader, than to humble the Guards, especially on their home floor. The team has been going through some strenuous practice sessions in addition to the games 1t has played and every play CT on 1t is a member of some other team.
 The two forwards. Wendell and Rubenstein are former members Of college basketball teams Wendell came from Cornell where he starred for three years in the sport. Ruben stein was termed flash" by the student body at Syracuse University where good basketball teams are the rule rather than the exception. Pite, who will be in at center. made his fame at Yale and Is even today known as the best player Yale ever had. Mellniecker who with Gitlitz will be at the guard positions, is a former University of Syracuse man while Gitlitz made his mark at Yale.
 The locals will use their regular players in the lineup with Jasper, Gierochowski and Sturm in reserve. The game will be started about 9 o'clock.

 The New Britain team scored more field goals than Naugatuck, but only caged one out of nine free tries. Naugatuck scored six out of 10. The score;

 Two important battles for posi- ton will be staged in the Inter- Church league tonight at the Y. M. C. A. and a pair of exceptionally close games should result. The St. Matthews Lutherans have at least a temporary hold on first position, but their lay-off tonight will enable some of their opponents to make half game gains on them. The interest in the games, however, lies in the fact that in both contests the op- posing teams are tied in the stand ing.
 The first game will bring together the Blue Army and First Lutherans. The champion Swedes struck a tar tar in the South church and lost their first game, but they still have much of last years strength and were barely beaten by that team. The Bluebirds were defeated by the St Matts after a torrid encounter and even in defeat showed no real signs of weakness. Both quintets are heavy and both have speed, ap- bearing well matched. This game will start at o'clock.
 In the second game the Trinity Methodists and South Church, now tied for second place, will fight it out to gee which remains in that position. The Methodists lost tough game to the St. Matts but came back last week to take the measure of the Center church. The South church has shown it's power by vanquishing the Swedes and by holding the St. Matts to one-point margin in a heart breaker last Sat urday Both teams depend largely on their speed and passing for their scoring plays. and a snapnJ contest is expected. The crowd last week was an im- provement over that of the week be- fore but stih fell below what the class shown by the league should draw. It is hoped that more follow CTS of the teams will be on hand to- night to cheer their representatives in the hard games in store.
