The former champion. who defeated Iaftling Ski for the title, has fought once in New York since he lost his crown to Berl"nbach last summer and gained tho decision over Tiger Flowers Atlanta ncgro--a verdict which caused more or less of an un- roar.
 Dan Hickey who manages Bcr- lenhach's business affairs, is said 10 have made NcTiguc a verbal prom isn before the battle last summer that he would have a return bout.

Hainer to Be in Hartford Teams
 Lineup Thursday Night

The American Legion basketball team will oppose the Hartford Cres- cents for the second time at the Y. W, C. A. Thursday night in the weekly attraction staged by this team. The Croscents barely nosed out the locals in their last meeting taking an overtime period in which to do the trick.
 The Cresccnts will come here this week fortified by the addition of Hafner, Dixie guard, to the lineup and with Tim" Cronin, the veteran of thousands of court battles, this pair will make Jasper, Luke and Relser travel fast 10 get aynthing on them at all,

In Hartford, the Cresccnts are saying that they will lay the local five low this week, but after watching the Legion quin- tot work against the pixies, these sayings provoke smile in the hearts of in" local basketball fans.

 The Burritts will have their strongest lineup In the field and they are ont 10 chalk up another victory for the home town. Peters and .Jacobowicz are in fine fettle for the contest and the Burritt cheer ing squad has boon rehearsing their club yells and songs and this alone should be a treat for the fans who attend the game.
 "Chick" Hayes will referee the final game and dancing will follow. From indications at present. the at- tendance will De record one and a large number of the fairer sex, meaning the women, will be on hand this week.
