C. quintet in West Crom- well last night to win by margin Of one point, the final score being .27 To 2G. T. was one Of the most exciting contests staged in the town in recent years and had q large crowd on its feet for most of the playing time,
 The Cromwell five was little slow in starting its scoring on the home floor and added to this was tho snappy pass work ot the Trade school tossors which somewhat con. fused the Cromwelians,
 The first five minutes saw the To. calls speeding it up in great shape and piling up a score of eight to their opponents nothing. Then the l Cromwell management started its strategy and Engles went into for ward With this addition. the team l found itself and started on a scoring 1 rampage and at Inc end of the nall, the score stood 16 to Il for the Trade school,
 The second half found the teams playing on q nearly even basis. The score see e-sawed back and forth, each side leading now and again by one or two points and the outcome was in doubt until the very last minute.
 West Cromwell was leading by one point and the time was ticking away to end the game. Then Arena, in the last half minute Of play, put in a field basket and before the Cromwell team could duplicate it, the game ended and New Britain had the victory by one point mar gin. The summary;

MANY TEAMS HAVE
 REBUILT LINEUPS
Reorganization of Yankees Prin- cipal Change Of the Winter

Chicago, Jan. 23 Pl-The rebuild ing Of the New York Yankees, American league leaders for several seasons until Washington stepped in to take two flags in q row, has been the principal change of the winter in the junior circuit of the major leagues.
 Chicago, g. Louis and Boston also have done some purchasing of both major and minor talent, but Man ager Miller Higgins placed all his squad except the outfield and q few veteran pitchers on the market and expects to present some Of his new stars as regulars when the curtain raises,
 Rumors of benching some of the Washington veterans in favor Of fashy youngsters increase as spring draws near. and Clarke Griffith may feel that his aging stars can hardly stand the pace Of another pennant battle as confronted them last Aug ust when Philadelphia and the Sen ators see-sawed for the lead for sev- cral weeks. There has been talk Of putting Buddy Myer at short instead of Roger Peckinpaugh and displac- ing Muddy Ruol first string catcher. Connie Mack has indicated but two changes for the Athletics, the return Of Joe Hauser 10 first base and the presence in right field of Walter Trench, former army ath- letic star.
 The St. Louis Browns, who fought valiantly when their third place hold was threatened, have received some holstcring in the pitching de- partment, including "No-Hit ! Charley Robertson,
 ! The White SoN have collected one Of the finest groups Of boXmen ir the league if their winter acQuisi' tions can hold up their place in the majors. The sensation of the minor i leagues, Alphonsc Thomas, Of th' Baltimore Intcrnationals, was thcil greatest purchase.

Sung by their 34-17 defeat last week on the Plainville court at the hands of last years winners, the New Brit ain five hopes ito come back to- night and jump into the race once more. Collinsville took q 22S beating from Plainville, SO that comparative scores would give the two outfits about an even chance. The home team will probably line up as usual, with Bell and Mercy as forwards, Vessels at center, and May andWilks in the backcourt.

 broken into the American league since Cobb and Speaker made their big league debut" That is Miller Huggins' opinion of Earl Combs.
 The mite manager of the Yankees is wise in the ways of baseball. He spilled big praise in behalf of Combs but it was deserved.
 Despite the admitted greatness of Combs, it is doubtful if any star of equal magnitude has ever been less press-a agented. Two huge obstacles have stood in the way of Combs getting the publicity his play de- served.
 The commanding figure of Babe Ruth proved the greatest handicap It was q tough break for young star to join the Tanks with Ruth cutting high jinks with his home run sWats. Combs found himself in that very position.
 The year that Combs came to the Yankees, Babe was going big The rest of the personnel of the New York outhcll was such that even so great youngS,er as the Kentucky Colonel" as Combs is known 10 his teammates, was unable 10 break into the lineup.
 Fate Makes and Breaks
 Then fate paved the way for the big opportunity that he had so long awaited. X Yankee batting slump was the cause. Sent into the New York lineup in a series against Detroit, he went over big. He made it evident by his brilliant play that it was going to be tough job to get him out of the lineup.
 CleNclan1 was next on the sched- ulo after Detroit Almost before he had chance 10 show his real worth 10 the fans of that city. Combs suffered broken leg in sliding into the home plate.
 Fate could have scarcely been moro unkind, First the greatness of Babe Ruth had kept him under the cover of the bench, just d sub, stitutc. Then, after weeks of pa. tiont waiting, a broken les put him out of the running for the rest ol the season, perhaps forever,
 Combs Made of stern Stuff
 But Earl Combs is not the run-of the-minc player: he is made O Srcrncr stuff. Very fast on his feet 1t was freely predicted that Combs 1 vas through, that the accident would rob him of much of his speed anC most Of his confidence.
 When th" Yankees reported at St i Petersburg, Fla. Combs was the biz quoGtion mark, but he didn't remain that way very long, Almost in stantly he became the exclamation point with tho New York spor writers.
 He soon showed that he was q fast as cl"r. l. didn't take muCl longer to demonstrate that he ha, the same sublime confidence in hi ability 10 make good.
 Earl Combs is jus about ready { blossom out m5 one of the real star of the American league. He is great hitter despite the fact that hi styl" is rather mOrtho and man of his hasa hits Sayor of the nuke.
 Crouch style at Bat
 Comhs has 9 peculiar crouch u tn" plate and chops al the ba rather than swings. Many of hi hits drop just out of the rcacl c ri'n,r the j0h.lI or outtiold an rival play"ns oCj'n refer to him as lucky stiff' but Earl just smiles.
 If Combs has 4 single fault it Il rather walk arm. But tell m what outiir'irrs arc throwing run ners out al The plate? He isn't good base runner yet, because h has still to master q fadcaway slid and get tho break with the pitcho Those things will come with C, pericnC".

NATIONAL GUARDS MEET
 ANOTHER TOUGH QUINTET
Painfeld Town Five to Tackle Locals At State Armory Visitors Have Impressive Lineup - Dudacks Men Are Out to Keep Their Slate Clean For Rest of the Season-Reseves Play Tracy Hill Team of Meriden.
I'lainfcli
Nat. Guards

The National Guards will play their second tough game of inc present week at the state armory on Arch street this evening, when they face tho Plainfeld team of Connecticut. The Guards will go in- to the game fresh from a victory over tho Merid,n Endecs Wednes- day night and will be prepared to work just as hard against the team from the East end of the state.
 The visitors have an impressive lineup as those fans will know who have been following basketball for the past few years, Norris, the cen- ter, of course, showed his wares here for q time with the Meriden Endees last Wednesday night and in the short time he was in the game jumping against Dudack. he caged enc field goal in his only try and his teams points. Normandin is a well known foe of all basketball guards. He was the ace member of the WilIimantic team when that combination was moving them all { down three years ago and at pres cnt, he is experiencing his best year,
 Dessinger is flash on the floor and is also an experienced player of
 great ability. He pairs up perfectly
 with Normandin and these two will keep the New Britain Guards busy
 all through the game. The guards, ! Benson and Madden arc husky and l fast. Besides being two strict
 guardians of their own fortress they i have mean eyes for the opponents 1 baskets and have an impressive re-
 cord of field goals so far this year. | Coach Billy Dudack will probably
 use the same lineup tonight as has
 worked so successfully in the last
 two games. With the Guards play
 ing the way they have been during
 the past few weeks, they will prob
 ably carry out their determination
 to drop not another game this sea-
 son. 'o'

EORD also says, and helps the
i United States in saying it, you
can't meet competition by lower
ing wages. Cutting wages does not
reduce costs-it increases them"
Ford proves it. TO a man from
whom he was buying automobile
bodies he said. "You must cut your
price in two," The man said it was
impossible, but he did it.
And while he was cutting his price
he had to raise wages, for better
men we're needed to do the work ON a
high production basis.
Ford's talk will not please en-
ployers generally, but it will help
them. making them richer. All that
the big man can ever get is part oil
what the little man earns. The more
the little man earns the more the big
man gets.
The problem of the age is to make
machines and methods more efficient,
thus increasing the value Of human
beings. Ford has done it, grinding
down machines, instead of men, and
for that reason he is ono of the
really great men in the history of
this country, and in the history Of in
