TABS ID BATTLE
 PLA|NF|ELD AGAIN
Locals to Play First Out-of-loWn
 Game Wednesday Night

Members of the Tabs basketball team will take to the road for the first time this season tomorrow night when they travel to Plain field for q second meeting with the team of that town. The game will be played under professional rules which should give the home team d great advantage in the contest.
 The Tabs will try to bring their seasons record to the 800 mark in the game. If a victory should be scored over the Plainfleld team on the latter's home floor under pro- fessionai rules, the New Britain quintet would be made for the sea- son.
 Realizing that they lost the game against Plainfield because of per- sonal fouls last Saturday, the team is confident that in a game where personal fouls are not so numerous chances are better. The team is more confident of victory.
 Merritt Taylor and Jimmy Key holds seem to be rounding into good form and should do much damage, providing they keep the Plainfeld guards in check while they are play ing their usual bang-up offensive game.
 Phil Paige proved he can get the jump on the opposing center and when a team Is getting this advan- tage, 1t is not as easy to defeat.
 Johnny sheehan held the speedy Dissinger powerless last Saturday and he is expected to again draw the assignment for tomorrow nights game. Jack Carlson and Frank Ar hour will again divide guard duties. Sheehan. Carlson and Arbour are dangerous men on the offense.
 Many members of the Y. NJ. T. A. & B. society who have been loyal in their support of the team In games played at the society hall are plan- ming to follow the team 10 Plain field.

NEW BRITAIN ID
 PLAY WATERBURY
State League Outfits to Battle in
 Brass City Thursday

The New Britain basketball team will meet the Waterbury St. Joes in a state league game in Waterbury Thursday night. The Hardware City quintet came out on top in the first clash Of the pair in this city last Saturday night by the score of 49 to 20.
 Although New Britain showed su- periority in every department on the Stanley Arena court, the fact that the next game will be played in Wa terbury will give the Brass City team a great advantage over the locals. The court in Waterbury ', not as large as the one here and this should prove to be a handicap against the fast play of the New Britain team.
 The full quota of players will be in the lineup Thursday night and the team will be cut to win another game from Waterbury. New Britain stands in second place in the state league only one game behind the Atlas of New Haven to which team the locals lost last Friday night. X second loss at this time would put the Hardware City quintet in pre- carious position.
 Waterbury was of form last Sat urday night. To those who know the basketball ability of the Brass City contingent. the visiting team wa. anything but right in the game against New Britain and q different sort of a battle is expected when the two clash Thursday night.
 McNamara, lanky center. who failed to get into the contest here. will probably start the game in Wa terbury and he is almost sure to get the tap because of his size. How ever, the New Britain team will shift to a defensive style of play ana Man ager Clarence Lanpher hasn't any fears on this score at all.
 New Britain will probably lineup with Sloman and Rubenstein at for wards, Zakzewsk at center and Captain sturm and Leary at guards. Waterbury will probably use Car rington and Dunn at forwards, Nc Namara at center and Wagner and Sheehy at guards.

L0UGhRAN WINS
 OVER SLATTERY
Philadephian Undisputed Light
 Heavy Champ of World

New York. Dec. 13.-lF-Tommy Loughran of Philadelphia was the undisputed light heavyweight cham pion of the world today by virtue of fifteen round victory over Jimmy slattery of Buffalo. N. Y, heretofore titleholder in the domain of the Ma tional Boxing association.
 This victory means everything to me-" said Loughran as he left the, Madison Square garden ring last night flor it clears up the light heavyweight situation.
 T intend to give anyone a bout who wants to try for the title and will defend 1t twelve times year if there are that many opponents. Of course, my next battle will be with Leo Lomski on January 6. but l hope to oppose Mickey walker and Jack Delaney soon afterwards"
 Asked if he had any plans in the heavyweight direction and at Gene Tunney's title, Loughran replied he would not consider entering that di- vision for another year.
 Loughran entered the ring last night with an eight pound advantage over Slattery who scaled 165 1-o. eight of the fifteen rounds while two were even.
 Loughran received strong oppo- sition from the Buffalo battler and v,nt urt{i ~1oAtrO that he pounded out his margin of victory. Bleeding slightly from a cut Slattery had ripped under his left eye. Loughran battered his oppo- nent to the ropes in the thirteenth round in his best showing of the night.
 Slattery was wary Tn the succeed ing chapters and kept out of range of Loughran's dangerous body punches. Slattery tried desperate rally at the finish but Loughran staved him off with a jabblng at- tack.
 Loughran had been pursuing the title heights since 1919. He ob- served his 25th birthday last Nov ember 29. When Jack Delaney va cated the championship, Mike Me- Tigue was named the standard bear CT of the division and on October z. last, Loughran wrested the crown from the venerable Mike.
 Slattery had acquired the Nation al Boxing association title through a victory over Maxie Rosenbloom. He has participated in close to 100 ring battles.
 Round by Round Round One Both were very cautious as they pranced in the center of the ring measuring each other with light lefts to the head. Tommy cut loose with a fierce two listed body smack that drove Slattery into a neutral corner. arms doubled across his ribs. Boz ing flashily. Jimmy worked his way out and speared Loughran with lefts to the head but Tommy's fists dug solidly into the Buffalo boys body. Tommy punched Slattery viciously with short rights to the ribs on the rope. Slattery broke away and pep pered Tommy's face with lefts at the bell.
 Round Two
 They formed pretty picture, dancing cleverly in the center of the ring shooting with both hands to the head and body. shots that travelled almost too fast. Tommy punched through Slattery's dazzling footwork and rocked the Buffalo boy with right under the heart. Jimmy gave ground. backing away behind whip-lash left. but Tommy caught him and ripped to his body at the ropes. They jabbed and retreated simultaneously so that the bell found them standing in their own corners with Slattery winkin1 confidently at the ringside denizens.
