FRENCH CABINET
 IS FACING CRISIS
Issue Will Be Fought Out in
 Chamber Of Deputies

Paris, Jan. IS OP,-Declnrinr that the present situation is too critical to play politics and that the time has gone by when governments or even one minister, eau be permitted 10 be overthrown by committees, Premier Briand has decided to place parliament sQuarely in the face of us responsibilities. Therefore the fate Of his cabinet on its financial program, which seeks 10 bring about the rehabilitation of France, will be fought out in the open chamber of deputies when the hnance committee submits its ad- verse report on the measures tor- H"'atod by Finance Minister Dou- mer.
 The finance committee already has rejected NJ. Doumer's proposal for h stamp tax on business transac- uons and two other important pro-

visions of his financial bill. N. Doumer has announced the govern ments intention to maintain tho main lines of its financial proposals and demand that the finance com rittee chose between the bills of the government and those of tho left cartel. The committee will make it's report to the chamber Saturday, after which debates will begin, with a vote likely on Sunday.
 The situation as viewed by the political observers ia this: The left coalition Is campaigning against M. poumer and Premier Briand and making no secret of its intention to try and bring about the downfall of the Brland ministry and place NJ. Herriott at the head of the govern ment. M. Briand's friends admit that his government can be saved only through the votes of the moderate conservative opposition.

NY. DEMOCRATS IN
 PANIC OVER SMITH
Announcement Of His Retire. ment Comes as BOnbShel

New York. Jan. 1b 0p,-Reitera- ton by Governor Smith Of previous announcements that he will retire 10 private life at the end of his present term has thrown a decided pombshell into state democratic politics
 What effect his decision will have on the national campaign in 1928 is a question receiving much attention by political followers. In many quar- ters it is felt that his chances for the democratic presidential nomlna- ton have been enhanced and that his announcement refers only to state officers
 Shortly after Mayor Walker of New York had been elected, partly through the powerful support of the governor, Walker made tour of several southern cities In which he pleaded for cooperation between the southern democracy and Tammany Hall.
 Friends of the governor feel in line with this that he will be iu better position to accept invitations away from New York as a private citizen than as a public officer tied down by his duties.
 Democratic and republican follow CTS also are busy speculating on the effect his retirement will have on the fortunes Of their respective par ties in the next gubernatorial and senatorial elections. It had been expected that the governor would Dc renominated for fourth term or would accept the nomination for United States senatorship to oppose Senator James W, Wadsworth, Jr., whose renomination by the republi- cans is thought highly probable.
 With the governor out of the fight. however-realignment in both parties seems assured. For one lining, 1t is felt that 1t will silence talk of the republicans pressing Charles E. Hughes, into the breach to oppose him in the event he should have run in the next gubernatoral campaign Mir Hughes had been considered most able to combat the governors personal popularity.
 The spotlight, as far as the gov ernorship is concerned, has been thrown strongly on George V. Mo Iaughlin, who only recently re- signed as state banking commission CT to become police commissioner of New York under Mayor Walker. Mir. Mclaughlin long has been regarded as L political protege of the gover- nor and took the more spectacular police job on advice from Albany.

CAN'T WIN BOTH
r----TrlF Mary k. Browne Considers Success On Links a Far Cry From Courts --Tric, Both Sports.

New York, Feb. : lPN--Although she has attained ranking among the first flight of players ill both golf and tennis, Mary K. Browne con- siders success on tho links q far cry from the courts and holds that no woman can expect 10 win honors consistently in both sports at the same time.
 For that reason, she says, she in tends to devote most of her time next summer 10 tennis, the game ill which sho thrice rose 10 the na- tional championship 1912 to 1914. Golf is the more difficult of the two games 10 master, the former Califor- nia girl asserts, although in 1924 she stepped from the semi-fnals of the national tennis championship tC the national golf tournament and succeeded in reaching the final round of the later event.
 Golf pupils are asked 10 fuss over many details which are really not important. Keeping your head still, starting your stroke from the left ankle, and all such other injunc- lions should be put aside. The inn portant thing 10 do is 10 keep your eye on the ball until you havo hit it. And that's the hardest thing in the game 10 do."

MOLLA MALLORY BEATEN
 BY MISS MARTHA BAYARD
Former National Champion Out. Played And Outgeneralcd By
 Youthful Opponent,

New York, Feb, P.-Flashing the most virile tennis of her career, Miss Martha Bayard. Of Short Hills, N r., furnished a sensation In the semi-flnal round of the Heights Casino invitation tournament yester- day by defeating Mrs, Mola Mallory former national champion, in an in. tensely interesting eXtra-sct match, The score was G-?, 3-6, S-6, the youthful victor -generalling and outleading her world famous oppon- ent most Of the way.
 Not since she arrived among the ranking players Of the country 6 few years ago has the New Jersey girl given as varied and as impressive an exhibition. Her game was almost masculine in severity of attack and without a weakness in defense. She traded powerful drive with Mrs, Mallory, and not only controlled her shots better but placed them at sharper angles. She stroked with confident calmness and elaboration. she maneuvered skillfully, varying length and pace, forced Mrs, Mallory to cover twice as much ground and actually wore her down by the beau tifully sustained speed of her game.
 Startling Recovcrics Sayo Molla
 She made frequent sorties 10 the not and there volleyed with crisp ness and decision, frustrating nu- merous attempts Of Mrs. Mallory to pass her. Had 1t not been for the tenacity and determination Of the former champion, the match might have ended in straight sets. Only the most startling sort Of recoveries enabled Mrs, Mallory to turn the tide temporarily in the second set and carry the issue into an extra division of play.
 Although tiring rapidly in the third set, Mrs. Mallory fought with superb courage and twice turned Miss Bayard back In the tenth game when the latter needed only one point for victory. Not until the fourteenth game, after service had been broken through six times in succession, did Miss Bayard finally succeed in clinching her victory. She took the last two games, 8 points to 1, but had to play at top speed tor every point. for Mrs, Mallory was. not yielding an inch without q struggle.

 feat Suffered Last Week

The National Guards basketball team will take on the All. Middle town quintet at the state armory to- morrow night in a return game be- tween the two. Last Friday night, the Guards were defeated by the Middlctown crew. S2 10 o7 in Middletown and tomorrow nights meeting will furnish the New Brit ain team with an opportunity 10 avenge this defeat.
 The Middletown aggregation will bring the same lineup 10 this city tomorrow night that trimmed tho New Britain combine last week and the Mlddletown players are confident that they can turn the trick again this week. Reports from the River City state that the New Britain aibi that the referee helped 10 beat the local team Is poor one and that it vas, will be shown to all tomorrow night.
 Coach Billy Dudack has said that he will use the full strength Of the New Britain team aga,nst the visit ors. Reynolds and Taylor will prob ably be at forwards. Restelli will be at center and sheehan, Kilduff or Dudack will be in the back court. On the reserve lines will be Paul I.aHar who showed well last Satur- day night against the City College club of New York and Gierochow- ski who still has 10 get his test of fire In game.
 With this combination. well rested since the last game, Cosch Dudack feels that the Guards will take the Middletown team In the game. The players, after putting mp Such q wonderful battle against the New York team last Saturday night In the second half, will use some of the tricks that team displayed. Middle town was not considered seriously as contender for state honors and New Britain's defeat al that teams hands last week vas serious set back.

ID PLAY WEAVER
 GAME TOMORROW
Contest Will Take Place at Local
 Gymnasium at 4 O'Clock

Coach George M Cassidy Of the New Britain high school basketball team announced today that the game between the Red and Gold and Weaver high school quintots would be played at the New Britain high school gymnasium tomorrow after noon al o'clock. Tho game was originally scheduled for this after | noon, but die 10 an engagement Of Coach Stone of the Hartford team to referee game elsewhere today, the game was postponed,
 Then, last night as date for tho game, could Slot be considered be- cause of the Senior high school club was planning 10 hold its monthly social and meeting. Coach Cassidy and Coach stone both got together yesterday and decided on saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock at tho local gymnasium.
 In speaking of his probable line up, Coach Cassidy stated that he was not absolutely decided in his choice of a combination for the game. He said that the team that will probably start the game will consist of MCGrath and Xaleski, for wards; Haylick at center; and Ma tulis and Brombcrg.
 Then again, he might use Adams al center and place Havlicii In forward position and another pos sible combination might be used with McGrath at the center post. These however, are tentative and Coach Cassidy expects that tomor- row he will be able to define some squad that will represent the school for the balance of the season.
 Weaver high has been severely weakened through the mid-year graduation, only two regulars being loft on the squad. What Coach Stones lineup will he is very problc- nautical. He has q large number Of candidates 10 pick from and he will be in the same position as the local coach in selecting players to represent his team for the balance Of the season.
 The game should be q hot con test because Weaver has already taken one game from New Britain and an added impetus for the play CTS will be doing their work to i'm press their respective coaches so that they will have a change 10 make regular berthe on their teams.
 The New Britain high school Junior Varsity and the Weaver high schools Seconds will play the pre-, liminary game and Dick" Dillon will referee.
