pamion, Munia Oarder, is being held,
is "cmtircly imaginative, accord

TWO DUSTY LEAGUE
 GAMES ON TONIGHT
Landers Plays Rule Shop and
 Stanley Works Bucks Corbins
IeaSuc Standing

The Industrial basketball league will continue play tonight at the Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium with four teams hooking up in two games that promise to develop into rra! basketball contests. In the first game that Landers, Frary & Clark quintet will endeavor to set down the Stanley Rule and Level five while in the second contest, the Stanley Works will meet the P. & F. Corbin team.
 Landers will have a real battle on its hands with Jimmy Murphy's team. With Gustafson back in tho
 lineup and Aronson. Sikora and kTcy to work with the two guards, the Rule Shop presents q strong lineup that " Il give the best teams in the league hard rub. Landers hasn't been going so good in its last few games and although 1t was favored to be Corhn's strongest opponent, the team now rests lower than the R. X F.. five in the stand ing and now occupies fourth place, just one notch ahead of the Stan ley Works. ..
 Although the Rule Shop five does not show many. games won In Its column, having taken only two con- tests, 1t has shown that it is capable of winning from the best teams ir the league and for that reason, should give Landers a tussle tonight that should be of interest to the followers of both teams. The I.anders team, hard pressed by the Stanley Works five In the last meet ing between those two, will find Q harder opponent tonight in the Stanley Rule team. The team was weakened by the absence of Gustaf- son last week against the R. &, F. team and consequently the team play was not so hot. Tonight. Jimmy Murphy expects 10 have his l full crew out and will make bold stab to win the game and cause at least one upset fin the league.
 The second game will see tho league leading r, & r. Corbin quintet playing the Stanley Works crew. The strange part about the Industrial league games IS that up- sets are liable 10 happen any night of play and the Stanley Works five is liable to upse' the dope any time.
 The first game will take place at o'clock sharp and the second game will follow immediately after. wards. Chick" Hayes will referee.

New Britain sent q fresh team on the floor in the second game and turned 1t into a slaughter, gamboling through the home team for a 51-1 s victory. Nye ran wild from the open ing whistle, and North Granby simp- ly could not stop him at all. Potts sprained a thumb in receiving a tricky pass in the first quarter and had to retire. The half found New Britain leading by 93-s. During tho final sessions the visitors continued 10 draw away and piled mp basket after basket with increasing speed. the closing minutes being a bonn bardment.
 Nye was the outstanding star on both offense and defense. playing q fine all-around game. "Yordy" Os- hornes work was very good, his one-hand shove shots having dcvas- tating effect. Washburn held his man scoreless. The rest of the team had its share in the win. Wells and W, Newton worked best for North Granby The summary:--

SUZANNE GOES TO
 MOUNTAIN RETREAT
Possibility That Stars May Meet
 Again in Nice Tournament

Monte Carlo, Feb. 25 R-Suz- anne Lcnglen, before she left Nice yesterday for q mountain retreat, taking with her a case of "ncrves." which she hopes to overcome quick ly, went to see the moving pictures of her match against Helen Wills, which are now being shown on the screens along the Riviera.
 The French champion left the house before the picture had been half reeled off. She appeared much perturbed. Replying to q question as 10 what was wrong with her, Suzanne said:
 'I played too bad for anything, 1t makes me sick just to look at it."
 While Suzanne was on her way 10 the mountain retreat Miss Wills came over from Breaulieu, bringing with her another cup won In the singles play in the tournament there. She immediately espied the gold cup which has been presented by the Duke of Connaught for the winner of the womcn's single here.
 This is one cup that I do want to win," said Helen as she looked at the trophy.
 The cup stands more than nine inches high and is valued at about Sl,o0o. With Suzanne and Didi Vlasto out Of the tournament and with only Frau Ncppach, the Ger man champion: Mrs. Satterthwaite, Mile, ContoslaVos and Senorita De Alvarez between her and the royal trophy, the betting is that 1t will make the journey to Berkeley, Cali fornia, when Miss Wills returns home.
 Suzanne at last accounts still maintained that she was through with singles competition until June. Some of those close to the Nice Ten his club, however. are of the opin- ion that a few days in quietude may cause the French girl to change her mind. They think there still is possibility that Suzanne and Miss Wills may come together for another duel at the Nice tourna- ment, which begins March z. They point to Suzanne's last words be- fore her departure from Nice;
 "I may get over this spell Of nervousness quicker than you think" as giving them ground for believing there is a chance for an- other meeting between the two girls before June at St. Cloud,
 King Gustave of Sweden, al though GS years of age, is still a fairly good player, has arrived here. He has found that mere royalty does not open the gates to the in- ner circles of the kings and queens iof the tennis courts. King GustaNe intended to play in the mems open doubles championship but Referee Georges Simond, who is known as the dictator on Riviera tennis, overrued him because of his late entry.

First Game.

The first game was fairly close. New Britain took the lead on a goal by Wilks and kept ahead when Bell sank several more. North Granby. however offered valiant battle throughout the game. Wells kept them in the running with timely bas- kets whenever the visitors seemed safely ahead, The first half found New Britain leading by a 16 to 13 score and they increased this mar gin slightly in the second half. The game was rough, neither team being able 10 work it's passes or keep the ball very long.
 Ted Vessels was the star for the winners while Wilks battled hard on the defense. Bell and Mercy could not find the com bination last night but got in some neat hurried shots. Wells was by far the best man on the North Granby team. The sum- mary.--

Los Angeles, Feb, 9@,-What hap pens to pugilistic champions after they have been robbed of their crowns?
 A few of them stay in the game and attempt, though usually unsuc- ceSsfully, 10 stage "Comoback.' . Others quit the ring and, as far as the fight crowd is concerned, are "swallowcd up by tho oarth.'
 Los Angeles has become a Mecca for tho has bccns," who at ono time ruled pugiIism as Jack Dcmp- soy or Fidcl La Barba rule it today Though seldom heard of, many of the oll-timors are living here and are engaged in somu sort of nusi- ness.
 Take for example, Jim Jetirics, What fight fan is there who doesn't remember that sweltoring Fourth of July 1910, when Jack JohnSoSn knocked out Jcftrics at Reno. Yet how many know anything about Jcffriea today? Jim's living just outside of Los Angeles, running a farm. He makes almost as much money now raising COWS and chickens, as he got for knocking the boys "goofy" when he was heavy weight champ,
 Farmer Jcnrics IS Happy
 And Mr. James Jcfrrics, farmer, is much happier man than Jim JaflricS, fighter. 'I am content here" dcClarrS the cX-hcavywright king 'I am busy all day on the farm, and then I have inc evenings with my wife, 1 like to play with the kids, too. No they're not mine, they belong 10 q nciShhor down the road but they spend most of their timc here"
 Then there's Al Wolgast, one time lightweight champion, who gained everlasting fame in his fight with Battling Nelson. Poor old Ad, he still thinks he has chance to be come champion again. WolGost was one of the toughest boys whc eyer climbed through Inc ropes.
 Al is working in a billiard parlol next door 10 Jack Doy}o's Vernon arena noW--a mere nobody under the same roof where thousands onct hailed him as champion, In his spare time h. can bo so'n working out oyrr in Doylc's ring.
