 Manager Clarence Lanpher of the New Britain National Guards dllllOullCFi lutIdS ildL all bNthllh with regard to the appearance of the Passaic Wonders, composed of former stars on the unbeaton Pas saic High school team, in this city Saturday night, February 1S.
 This New Jersey team Is com posed Of players who helped [" make the worlds record Of un- broken victories for the Passaic High school team and they will furnish probably the best opposi ton inc National Guards have met this year.
 What is more important than that. however, is the announce ment hy Manager Lanpher that he has booked another game with the Atlas of New Haven 10 be played in thls city. Although the date for that game has not yet been deti- nitcly settled, the New Haven team will play here either on February 2o or February @7.
 In the last game played between thes" two. the Atlas team Camo out on top by 20 10 S7 score and Now Britain has wanted nothing moro than to meet the Atlas team again. The New Haven manager {, ing he manner in which tho Guards have been turning back all the. teams which beat them earlier in the season on foreign courts, has consented 10 the game and the date will probably bo fixed next week.
 Another game in the making is the Grecnpoint Y. N. H, A. team Of New York city. This outfit is managed by Moskowitz, the center who played with the City college club last Saturday night and he states that the Grcenpoint quintet is better than the New York City college five.
 The Crconpoint five trimmed the Atlas in New Haven two weeks ago and the same team is playing second game at Music hall tonight. They showed a far superior brand of basketball 10 the New Haven champs and they are the farorites for tonEhcs game.
 MNrwin Jacobson. former New Britain boy who has spent about 12 years in the International Baseball league as an outiiclder, will in real ity get his s"cond chance to make good in inc majors this coming sea son when h" steps out with the Brooklyn Dodgers as a member of that team.
 lf he lands a regular berth on the team, it will be his first appearance as q big league player. Some years ago, Mcrwin got a tryout with the Chicago White Sox, but he did not make tho grade and was sent back to Baltimore before the season opened up. He went south with the tcam for the training period but for some reason unknown 10 us, he was sent back.
 His friends in this city will be roofing for him 10 make the grade with Brooklyn and they feel that his day has arrived and that "Jak- ic" will bring fame to the old home town through his ability both in the field and at bat. Jake" was with the Jersey City club last year and even though it was to him like leav- ing his own home when he was sent from Baltimore, he smashed the pill for q grand average of .Sl6 for the season.
