New Britain herald., 1927-02-17


 from the Herald" windows tomor- row night. Despite the fact that the weather might not be as pleasant ae it is in July. the interest in the bout is so high that 1t has been thought advisable to announce the returns
 Roy Hogan, "Terryville Terror" will not be able to engage in his avocation of amateur fighting for some time as he Is laid up with a bad attack of tonsilitis.
 At tomorrow nights amateur tournament at the etate armory, Abe Bodine of Hartford. one of the hardest punchers in the amateur racket in the state, will be seen In action in support of the Sturino- Howard so. ......
 The box office at the armory to- morrow night will be opened at 6:30 o'clock sharp. Over 500 of the paste-boards have been sold already in Hartford and that means sell out of the house. Fans in this city should purchase their tickets before tomorrow night.
 A Hartford man called up this morning to ask if 1t was true that private individuals in this city were building big baseball park. We respectfully stated that if 1t was so, then we weren't In on the secret. This rumor crops out every year at this same time.
 For the benefit of those who did not read closely about the games played at the benefit for Tim Cronin at the state armory last night. we repeat that the outcome in the con- tests. by agreement of all concerned before last night, has no bearing on the standing of the teams regarding the state title.
 The National Guards will play the Elmwood Endees in Elmwood to- night The fans m this city are hoping that the team will come through to offset the argument being used in Bristol anent the state cham pionship. that the National Guards are solely home-f1oor team.
 To date the Guards, not counting last nights game, have played 2S games. Of these, the local club has won IT and lost six
 The Guards won two out-ot-town games, one from the Bristol Endees in Bristol and the other from the St. Joseph's T. A. B. team of Water bury.
 In the losses suffered out of-town the Guards have only five that will count against them in the state title reckoning. That is because of the game in Plainheld which was play cd under professional rules. This cannot be counted against any team in the running for the state cham pionship because basketball in Con- necticut Is generally played under amateur rules.
 The five games lost out Of town were to the Bristol Endees, the Brooklyn A. C.. Middletown, the Atlas and Meriden Endees. Three of these games were just barely lost while one of them was a bad beat ing and the other loss by 39 to 26 margin.
 Bristol beat New Britain 39 to 26 The Brooklyn A. c. beat New Brit ain 42 to 24. The Meriden Endees beat the Guards 19 to IT. Middle town beat New Britain 24 to g The Atlas beat New Britain 22 to 20
 This record will compare favor ably with any team in the state. As far as Bristol is concerned, New Britain has scored two victories over that team, one here and one there By agreement between the two man, agers, series Of five games will be played.
 Manager Joe Swedock Of the Meriden Eagles issues a challenge 10 the State Trade school team ot this city for basketball game. HC can be reached by addressing his mail to the Meriden Morning Rec, ord.
