 Tassi has been made the favorite because of his showing In his three first starts in this country. In two of them he kayoed his opponent while the third he beat by wide margin.

Meriden and New Britain rivalry will be brought 10 light for the first time this season in a game tonlor- row night between the New Britain Tabs and the Meridcn Insilcoe. The preliminary game will also see d rivalry of last year renewed when the Atlantics of Meriden and the Burritt 4. C. team will play. The Atlantics. formerly the Eagles, handed the Burritts one of their de- feats last year.
 In the practice sessions held. the form and predictions have been made that it will be among the lead- CTS in competition for state honors this year.
 Another team which will be out 10 again win honors in state bas- ketball will be the Burritt A. C. team which won the state junior championship last year. The Bur- ritts played the preliminary game 10 the National Guards in this city last year and their work was of such high order that the greater part Of the crowd would come early in order that they might see the Burritts in action.
 The feature game Of the evening will start shortly after o'clock. Dick Dillon, peer of all referees in Connecticut, will be the eleventh man on the floor in each game.
 New Britains chances of victory will depend entirely on how well the New Britain guards hold Shrimp Evans. the clever little forward, who has been making great repu- tation for years while a member of the New Haven Atlas and Meriden Insilco teams. Johnny sheehan will probably be given this task.
 Paige, a pitcher on the Spring field club of tho Eastern league and a former member of the Pennsyl- vania university basketball team, is expected to round into form and toss them in as he did in college days. Captain Merritt Taylor will be at left forward and either Bob Ber- ry or Jimmy Reynolds will be his running mate. Frank (Hank) Ar bour. leading scorer in the Y. NJ. C.. A.

PICKING BEST MAJOR
PLAYERS IS A TASK

BY the Associated Press.
1t promises to be warm debate
when the newspaper experts assigned
to the job vote on the awards Of the
majdr leagues "most valuable player"
trophies this year.
It's possible to narrow the field down
pretty well, but the argument will be
heated when it comes to deciding, for
instance, whether the youthful batting
star, Paul Waner. or the veteran, Joe
Harris, at first base, has been more
valuable to the Pirates, or whether
"Gabby' Hartnett, brilliant catcher, or
Charley Root, pitching ace, has been
the biggest asset to the Chicago Cubs
Hughie CritZ, who was runner.up in
the National League star-player con-
test kst year to Bob O'Farrell, also
has many boosters, especially since his
brilliant return to form in the last few
weeks. Likewise, frankie Frisch, erst-
himself one of the most valuable cogs
in the Cardinal machine.
In the American League it may be
equally as difficult to decide whether
Lou Gehrig or Tony Lazzeri has been
Of the most vital aid to the Yankees.
Gehrig has supplied the bigger punch,
but Lazze'rf has been the clubs big
defensive star. besides welding a po-
tent bat. Babe Ruth. Of course, hav-
ing won the honor before, is out of
the running.
