ST. MATHS BEATEN l FUR FIRST TIME
SVedes Turn Tnck-South
 Church Ties for Lead
Inter-Church League

The South Congregational church team climbed into a tie with the St. Matthews Lutherans Saturday night in an evening of upsets at the Y. M. c. A. The St. Matts, invincible in their earlier games, sustained their first loss of the season when the First Lutherans showed a return to their championship form of a year ago and nosed out the league lead CTS by 15-12. Another startling re- versal of form was shown by the tail-end Center Congregational church, which put up a terrific bat tie against the South church and was beaten by so-26 only in the last few minutes of play: for a while it looked as If both leaders were due to go done on the same night, but the South church squeezed out a win and tied the St. Matts. Both games were corkers.
 Both leaders will be idle this Sat- urday. The Trinity Methodists will meet the fast-coming First Luther ans, while the Blue Army and Center church will play each other. A meet | ing of the managers of the league has been called for o'clock tonight at the Y. NJ. C. A. Several important matters will be discussed.
 First Lutherans vs. St. Mats | The First Lutherans chung grimly to an carly lead and edged a win over the St. Matts by 13-12. The game was featured by impenetrable guarding on both sides, neither team being able to break through. Huggie | Carlson started the scoring with a | free shot, which Eric Anderson dup 1 Heated. Carlson then tossed in the first field goal of the game, Anderson adding another point from the free 1 throw strip. "Goody" Preisser dropped a long shot through the cords for the losers only score of the half, and Oscar Larson made it 7-2 as the half ended. The league lead CTS had made two points in the en- tire period.
 The St. Matts rallied desperately in the second half but could not overcome their disadvantage. Four men broke into the scoring, but Flodin and Larson kept the Swedes barely ahead at 12-10 with two min utes to play. Anderson made good his fourth foul shot of the game. "Goody Preisser batted in a follow up but was put out on fouls an in- stant later and his team could not garner the one point needed to tie the score.
 1 Larson played a whirlwind game on both defense and offense, while Hallin kept Goody under cover. An derson's work from the 15-foot strip was nice and provided the margin of victory. Reckert and the Preissers worked hard for .he St. Matts, but for once the team had met it's match. The summary.

At the present time 1t looks as if Dick will break his greatest record of officiating at 220 games, made last year. Saturday afternoon he handled the Weaver High Bulkeley High battle in Hartford and immediately after the game he jumped into his car and hur- ried to this city where he took charge of the New Britain-South Manchester High school tussle. He stayed in this city and was to have taken charge of the Burritt-W Win gate preliminary game had it been played.
 He is head of the water depart ment in Hartford's municipal building and last July he observed his 42d birthday anniversary.

The game start ed slowly. with close guarding and poo; passwork holding the score down, and at half-time the winners had a s-S margin; | pair of neat shots by Derrick had kept the losers in the game. Vessels took ad- vantage of 8 technical foul to make 1t l0-8 at the start of the second period. but Brown caged a one-hand shot to tie the score. From that time on the two teams went at 1t with redoubled fury. first one side gaining the upper hand and then the other. with the score tied several times. Brown was dropping baskets in from past the foul line with regularity, but every time he did 1t Bell would offset it with a spectacular shot on the next play.
 In the middle Of the period the South church staged a rally which brought it well out in front on goals by Mercy and Bell, but the losers fought back. Bradley and Clark dropping in long goals. and the win- ners had to keep going right to the end. This half was featured by num- berless spectacular shots by both teams, the Center church shining at this and discounting the superior passing of the winners.
 Bell was again big scorer for the South church, running up IS points. Mercy fed him nicely. while Vessels consistently outjumped the towering Clark. Barta was handicapped by a nasty tumble which split his head open just above the ear. Brown stared for the Center church, show ing an uncanny eye, while Ericsson played well defensively.

 Cronin who appeared with visiting teams in this city for 8 number of years, was stricken New Years eye- ming at his home in Hartford and an examination by Dr. Brainard of Hartford revealed the fact that he has not long to live.

Jack Curry of Meriden, one of Connecticut's finest sportsman, who played basketball since the days of Methuselah in this state, hearing of the plight in which Cronin now is expressed the desire of doing some- thing for him. Cronin played last year, his last season as a player. with the Meriden Endees. He was a member of many teams on which Jack Curry starred and was his side kick on the Hartford Kaceys in the old K. of c. league.

He immediately started to make arrangements to plan benefit game for Tim. He conferred with Hart ford players concerning a game with the old Dixie team of Hartford but this game will probably be shunted aside in favor of game with the Meriden Endees.

A conference has been arranged between Manager Lanpher and Man ager Curry of the Meriden Endees for this afternoon to determine just what the details of the game will be.

Manager Clarence Lanpher of the National Guards who was appraised of the conditions which surround the boy who used to thrill the crowds at basketball games, conferred with the members of the National Guard basketball team and decided that, because Cronin was 50 long and so prominently identified with basket hall, something would have to be done in his case.

The National Guards will play Elmwood in Elmwood Thursday night of this week and All Middle town at the state armory in this city Saturday night

If a game is arranged between the Guards and the Meriden Endees, it will be billed simply as an exhibition game with no bearing on the stand ing between the two teams.
New Britain herald., 1927-01-24

The game will most probably be played here at the state armory. It might have been proper for the game to have been played In Hart ford because that Is where Tim Cronin lived, but because of the fact that basketball is practically dead in that city, everyone interested feels that the only place to play the game Is in Connecticut's finest sport. ing center, New Britain.
