 Youth will be served, Such was the caso last night when tho Ameri- can Legion five handed tho DiXies a setback at the I, w. C, A, gym naSlum and justified all the favor able predictions said about them through these and other columns. This does not mean 10 imply that | the DiXies are composed Of players | whose ages are advanced by any | means, but when ono considers that l the Legion team, practically as q | unit, represented the Boys club in l this city last year, it can hc seen that they have taken q long jump into the middle of the state com petition through the victory won last night. To those fans who saw the cn- counter, tho Legion team outclassod the Jlartford five in every depart ment Of play, To those who were Il to see the Dixics run away with the game, only one thing can be said and that is that the Legion team can play with the best of them.
 Then again, tho spectators at the Y. ". last night were treated to q double bill that had all the car marks of q championship match. The game between the National Guard Reserves and the Burritts MAS 10 most of the fans present, a better spectacle than the Legion I'lH!o game.
 Not only did the Burritts even up inc series with the Reserves, but they also, and this is stingins blow To the Reserves, stopped the win ming streak of tn" team which had Ip to last night won l9 straight contests.
 The Burritts could not be beaten ,ast night. They were in there to light it out with their most bitter rivals and in winning, they have placed themselves on q par with the exposition of last night for the jun iur championship of the city.
 The Reserves appeared to go stale and it is probably because they had ulaycl the flight before against q rung team from Mcridcn, inc @. -lauislauS, although this fact did Hur have any bearing on the Bur r.,'s victory. The Burritts won the "ane on superior team work and ,nilily 10 cage them when they We're nocdcd,
