 Of the Prize Ring

 Af.cr Bull McCartys father walk cd across the ring and socked me on the head with a chair following my knockout Of his son. 1 felt pretty wobbly for q few days.
 I was matched to fight Jack Hop per in New York at the N. |. A. C. clubhouse.
 The first round I came out rather slowly and led with 2 faint hearted left. l was too lazy with it ana Hopper smackcd over a terrific right lander that caught me on tho side of the head. That's all I remember. I do not recall any sensation of pain. Bill Madden says l fought au- tomaJically and, when the round was over, walked 10 2 neutral cor her and engaged in q lot of dizzy conversation.
 There was no ammonia or any thing in my corner because we didn't give Hopper any consideration and didn't bring Q thing along in preparedness That's how soft we thought him till he nailed me with that blow to the head.
 l. went on like that for four rounds and then l thought ] was lying. as in dream. on my dress iug-room table, I heard voices but could not make out where they were coming from I heard Il series of -ells as if I were standing outside q. Dall park and q big game was on. The mental fog lifted a little and I raw a man hardly visible walking flown long road toward me. He kept getting larger and larger. Final ly the haze lifted and he loomcd right mp in front of me. l saw it was Hopper and wondered what h" vas doing there. Then I looked down at my glovcl hands They were iabbing in and out. l locked at my feet. They were sliding back and forth.
 For four rounds I had been do- ing that and I cant remember a single one of the rounds after that first opening punch
 went back 10 the corner and asked Madden who was winning. He said I had held my own but had better step out if l wanted to win the decision on points. From then on I was 0. k. and defeated Hopper handily.
 Iiu' to fhis day that fight 10 me iaS'od only Six rounds. although If went ton. l cannot remember four of them

The National Guard basketball team and the Meriden Endees will clash tonight at the state armory on Arch street in the second game of the season between the two. This is expected to be one of the most bitter court fights ever seen on the local floor and record crowd i, sure to turn out to see it.
 The Endees beat New Britain in Meriden December 22 by the score of 19 to IT, and they are anxious to make it two in row in the game tonight. Coach Jack Curry is bringing along his heavy artillery, and it is a toss-up as to which set of forwards he will use. He may use Cook and Bissell and again he may send in Silverman and Murphy. McNamara, the lanky pivot man, will be at center with Lingner and Hafner in the back court.
 Manager Clarence Lanpher of tho Guards is in the same quandary. It is thought, without any announce ment about the lineup, that he will use Sloman and Rubinstein to start the game with Mert Taylor getting in later. Reynolds or Restelli will be used at center, with kildulf, Sheehan or Sturm in the back court.
 Clyde Waters of Bristol will bs the eleventh man on the floor. Dick Dillon will be unable to get to this city tonight. Since the game last year, when Waters officiated at tho clash of the Bristol Endees and the Guards, he has been q popular man in this city, and a better substitute for the ultra efficient Dillon could not be found in the state.
 The rivalry between the Meridrn and New Britain teams rivals tho traditional rivalry which exists be- tween New Britain and Hartford. This feeling was intensified after the suited in defeat for the local quin- tet.
 The Burritts will meet the Meri- den Eagles in the preliminary, and the locals hope to make it a sec- ond win tonight. The first game will start promptly at o'clock wiSl the second one following immedi- ately afterwards. Dancing will follow.

BRISTOL ENDEES
 YS. ST. J0SEPH'S
Two Teams to Meet in Bell City for Third Time This Year

Bristol, Jan.~ 1.-The fur Is cer- tain to fly on Wednesday night at the Bristol high school gym when Billy Sheehy will lead his scrappy St. Joseph Tab five of Waterbury. against the New Departures for the third meeting of the season.
 The previous two games between this pair of bitter rivals was divided on a flfty-fifty basis, the Brass City hoopsters dropping a heart-breaking overtime battle at Bristol 30 to 29 after leading their opponents all the way, only to balance the scales on the following day in Waterbury by chasing the Carrollmen back on the short end of a 20 to 14 score.
 Both teams are pointed toward state championshio honors and have compiled enviable records to date. The Tabs have lost only one game in ten starts, while the Bristolites after getting away to a rather poor start at the beginning of the season have braced strongly and during the past few weeks have bee riding rough- shod over some of the leading clubs in this section.
 Billy Coyle, popular Wallingford official. has been named as the eleventh man on the floor, thus in- surfing a smooth running game with plenty of action and an absence of free for all tendencies on the part of the players.
 There will also be preliminary game starting at o'clock and the feature attraction will get under way at 3 D. m. Dancing will follow with music by the New Departure or chestra. The probable starting line ups will be as follows:
 New Departure St. Joseph Tabs Feldman ............... Burns
 Right Forward

Whitman and Luke made double -deckers and Ny borg added a point from the 15-foot strip. Whitman scored again from the corner and, after 13 minutes and 10 seconds of play. Morelli sent home a beautiful long shot which tied the score at 1913. In less than a minute Preisser had put Landers back in the lead with pretty toss and Darrow dribbled through to make it 17-13. Whitman scored from afeld and Darrow from the foul bar then each one of this heavy scoring pair made floor goal and Landers led by 20-17. Again field goals and the half closed with Landers ahead at 22-19.
 Second Half
 kaminsky started the second per iod with his only field goal of the night, but then Nyborg. held in leash throughout the first half. began to break away and scored on push up shot ten seconds later. Luke brought it to 24-23 and Nyborg sent Russwin ahead for the first time with a field goal at the minute and 55 second mark. Kaminsky tied things a few seconds later with a shot from the foul line. but Nybore immediately put Rlsswin back in the van and Whitman brought the count to c9-95 after four minutes of play.
 After taking time out, Landers came back. Aronson popped in a field goal and Prcisser followed suit ten seconds later 10 even the count. Aronson was fouled while shooting and put Landers ahead again by .caging both tries. Bucherri inject ed his lone goal of the evening and Landers led at 3G-29

Whit man put in t"o more field goals, Nyborg foul, and Luke floor shot. and Russwin had q secure 45-37 lead. Kaminski's foul was useless in the last minute.
 Whitman had the greatest night of his career and made nine field goals some from difficult angles. some from long distances, and others from heated scrimmaging. Morelli played a nice guarding game and put his team ahead with beautiful shots at critical junctures. Johnny Saxc scored nothing at all. but his direc- ton of the Russwins was largely res ponsible for the victory. Bill Oar row ran wild for Landers in the first half, making 16 points. but ~Morclli kept him under cover in the second period. Billy Preisser went we'll for the losers. The summary:

 The Russell & Erwin combination hattled its way back into tie for first place with the Corbin Screw quintet when it finally nosed out determined Landers team by 45-3S after game uphill battle. The Russ wins were slow to start, but once they were under way the two teams struggled along only a. few points apart, the lead alternating every few minutes, and the crowd, which was none too large, was given thrill after thrill as succession of sensational shots dropped through the hoop. The first game, between P. &5 F. Cor bin and New Britain Machine. was a slow and uninteresting affair, the Machine shop going down to its eight consecutive defeat of the season by t5-22.

 The P. & r. Corbin-New Britain Machine contest was a tepid game, neither team showing over much basketball although the Corbins warmed up as the game progressed and closed with a long series of baskets. After a minute and 25 sec onds krause scored for the Machine shop from under the basket. but Mickey Luke tied the score when the game was three minutes and 35 seconds old. Deodorian caged a foul try and Paris did the same, the score again being knotted at 3-3. After five and half minutes German pop ped in a long shot and Corbin was never headed or tied again. He fol- lowed with another of the same variety and Luke and Jasper scored. Deodorian was successful on another free heave and Kemp made it 11-6 with field goal, but Luke and Jas per broke through for another pair and, after Eric Anderson's score. Corbin led by 15-S.

 Hoist slipped in his first goal after about a minute of play in the second half and Jasper followed with an- other Deodorian and Kemp sank field baskets to make the score 19- i.. but Luke caged one from scrim- mage and Jasper put in two.
