'BOYS' CLUB DOWNS ALPINES BY 44-25
Victory Over Torrington Team
 Makes 12 in a Row

F The undefeated Boys club basket ball team rattled off it's tenth straight victory of the season last night when it downed the Alpines of Torrington, H-25, in the gymna- sium of the local organization. Counting the tail end of last year, the East Main street quintet has now won 12 consecutive games. The contest last night was rather loose ly played, the winners passing be- ing too long for effect and the visit ors refusing to do much passing at all. Both teams travelled consider ably, but the club had flashes of it's real form and shot accurately from close range.
 Kley opened the battle with a field goal. but Clark was good for one point and Rysinski popped one in from the center of the floor. Kraszewski put the club ahead again and he and Gill dropped in free tries, but Clark did the same and Marchione, taking Clark's place tied the score with q flip from well up the court. The quarter ended with the score still G-6. Kley tap ped in follow-up at the beginning of the second period, dropped In pretty toss from the corner. dribbled through for third score, and batting in the ball as it fell after Gill had missed shot. He had single-handed put the club in front by 14-6.
 By the end of the half the club was on the long end of a 20-11 score. and In the third quarter Gill and Levin pushed this to 26-1O. Marchione led q short rally, but the opening of the final session found the club still leading at 30-15. kraS- zewski and Kley lifted the tally on to 3S-19, but then the Alpines ral- lied. Marchione crashed through for two scores and Rysinski shot d third field goal to run the Torring- ton count to 25. Then the club braced, Goffa, Levin and kraszew- ski all found the hoop before the final whistle sounded.
 John Kley and Henry Kraszew- ski led the winners attack, with Nick Gill feeding them and scoring nine points for himself. The guards gave Torrington hardly a shot from within the foul line and kept them well out on the floor. The> visitors. however, proved good shots from the longer distances, Marchione eX- ceiling and scoring 15 points. Rvs inski played a hard game but could not stop Kley. while Clark had no stamina and retired early. The ! Yales and Scoville broke up a large i number of New Britain passes. The

Horse" and knockout king, one of the best in New York, and Joe How. ard Connecticut middleweight cham pion. They Will fight in the 17O pound class.
 According to advance dope, this will be the hardest fight Howard has had in years. The New York boy has met all the fighters in his class in New York and has bowled most of them over. He is a cham- pion. although he hasn't the title. His packers in New York have seen Howard in action on several occa- sionS in tournaments in this state and they declare that the New York boy will knock Howard out.
 The second star bout of the eve- ming will bring Frankie LaPera against the slashing Roy Hogan of Terryville, known to ring followers as the 'Terryville Terror" These two boys will probably furnish the fireworks of the evening and from all present appearances one or the ether must go down before the bout is over.
 Matchmaker Whaler in awaiting word from New York on the other entries before he sets up the Con- necticut boys for the various bouts. The promoters of the club In New York are picking their best bets for this New Britain trip because, with Howard. a champion entered, and Hogan a ear-champion also on the cards, the supremacy of both Con- necticut and New York is in ques- ton.
 Announcements on the remainder Of the card will be forthcoming to- morrow after information from New York is received regarding the other entries. Without any doubt at all, this will be the best card seen in this city this year and a packed house will greet the appearance of the New York "assa sSins."

BERLIN (P)-Not long ago, a re-

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO. Oct. Is (H9 = Lowest
prices yet for corn this season were
reached today as a result of heavy
selling by holders unable or unwilling
to face further losses. Largely owing
to corn weakness, other grains sagged.
Closing quotations on corn were I'M
settled, TIC to IL net lower, with
wheat sc to &c off, oats 1c to 5sc
down, and provisions varying from 12c
decline to a. rise of 27c.
From the new bottom level, after an
overnight drop of &c bushel in some
cases, n the corn market had O. fair
rally, but the finish was well below
the preceding close. Bright clear
windy weather favorable for maturing
the crop had a good deal to do with in
creasing bear sentiment, out pressure
to sell was also ascribed to continued
influence of the recent government
report Indicating that the 1926 yield
may yet be equalled this season or
perhaps even exceeded.
AS the market now stands, about
TIC to &c a bushel has been clipped
from the value Of the country's crop
as compared with a week ago. Con-
tributing to the declines in price today
was the fact that a period of ausplcl-
Gus weather appeared to be in pros
pect for the fore part of the coming
week. Besides primary arrivals OF
corn this week showed an increase,
the total being 3,211,000 bushels against

definite trend today. BulliSh demon
Strations in select group of spec
ialties a score of which we're listed to
new peak prices, contraSted with the
renewal of selling pressure against the

Weekend trade reviews failed to
disclose anything new in the business
situation, which continues to show

strong competition to stocks. Easier
