 This promising glove duel, term. ed one Of tho most attractive flstic features in the country today, was wiped off the featherweight cham pion's slate early this morning when 1t was announced from New York that Click had been signed to meet Tod Morgan, junior.lisht- weight champion, in a title match in Madison Square garden on March 19.
 It apepars that when Click was signed by George Mulligan. Water bury promoter. to fight kaplan at Hartford, q proviso was inserted by Clicks handlers that should Click be offered a championship bout with Morgan, the Connecticut match would automatically be de- clared void.
 Jess McMahon, Madison Square garden matchmaker, signed Click and Morgan late last night and in- sisted that Click forego his Hart ford battle with Kaplan. In order to insure the championship bout Clicks handlers were forced to bow to his demands.
 George Mulligan was in New York yesterday in an attempt to patch up difficulties and Joe Bcas- Icy, one of Kaplan's managers, was also in the big town to say his bit for the featherweight titleholder.
 Beasley said early this morning hat Mulligan will go through with his March l show as planned and is now attempting to secure some worthy substitute to the fighting | little Williamsburg scrappcr who was to have staked his tstic wares against Kaplan in Hartford.

New Britain is a hot basketball
 town, but some way or another, all
 the basketball projects are not meet
 ing expenses. The Industrial League
 is so one-sided that there is no in-
 terest, is one way those interested
 evXplain if. but last night two of the
 best games were played with two tail
 end teams playing another pair
 away up in the standing.
 Last year the fight between the
 Corbin Cabinet Lock and the P. &
 r. Corbin teams brought the inter- est of the fans to fever heat, but this year. the Corbn team is so far ahead that most of the fans have lost heart. It is also said that the fac tories have not pushed tho project this year the way they did in the past and all these reasons put to- gether, combine to explain the dearth Of attendance at the games at the "Y" Tuesday nights,
 The loss Of politis and Sculy 10 both tho High school and National Guard Reserves basketball teams makes a great difference in the play of both. It is surprising that two men could leave such hole in the teams when they went to other parts, but the difference has been noticed immediately.
 The National Guards have two komc games on their schedule that 1 will tax the capacity of the state armory on Arch street as 10 attend- ance.
