ENDEES OF BRISTOL OFFER
 TEAM FOR GROWN BENEFIT
National Guards to Play Meriden New Departure Five Here on February 16 For Charity = Jimmy Mall colm States That Bell City Club is Anxious to Help : May Arrange Double Header Feature For Night -Dunn-McNaIy Trio to Entertain.

The National Guard basketball team and the Meriden Endees will play 8 benefit exhibition game for Tim Cronin at the state armory in this city on Wednesday evening, Feb- ruary 16. The arrangements for the game were completed at a meeting between Managers Clarence Lanpher of the New Britain team and Jack Curry of the Silver City quintet. Cronin lies desperately i'll in the Hartford hospital suffering from a complication of diseases which have made his case hopeless. He has been one of the leading basketball players of the state for the past 10 or 12 years and he needs financial help.
 Jimmy Malcolm, captain of tho Bristol Endees telephoned to the sports editor of the Herald" this morning saying that after reading the account of the plans for the benefit game for Cronin in last nights Herald" the Bristol team held a meeting and he in the name of Manager Joe Carroll and the players on the quintet, wished to off, fer the services of the Bristol Endee club without reservation for the benefit.
 Following the notification of this splendid action by the Bristol team, Manager Lanpher started negotia- tions with the Meriden Insilcos so that double header might be play ed as a feature attraction for the evening. This will put four of the leading teams in this section on the floor that one night, the Bristol Endees against the Meriden Insilcos and the National Guards against the Meriden Endees.
 The Dunn McNally trio of Hart ford, one of the most popular enter- tainment combinations in the state, will, it is understood, offer its serv- ices for the evening and will enter tain the fans during the rest periods including the halves and the interim between the games.
 Dick Dillon, popular referee, has offered his services for the night as have all others concerned in the game. The expenses for the night will amount to approximately $50 and the remainder will be turned into a trust fund, it Is planned, with Cronin's father as the trustee.
 Tickets for the games will be printed imemdiately and will be dis tributed about the state in all places where Cronin has played Several inquiries have already been received from other cities and towns about the state asking for particulars about the benefit and from present indica- tions. the state armory in this city will be hardly large enough to hold the games to swell the amount of money to be turned over to Cronin.
 Further details on the proposed benefit will be published as soon as several details connected with the matter have been settled. The of- fer. received from various sources will make the night of February Is one of the biggest basketball affairs ever seen in this city and crowds from Hartford, Meriden, Bristol, Willimantic, Southington, Waterbury ant other places in Connecticut will be on hand to witness the contests as tribute to one of the greatest play CTS of the game in Connecticut.

CINCINNATI REDS >
 TO SEEK TENANT
Manager Hendricks Believes
 Team Has Good Chance

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 25 R-The pennant which they missed by nar- row margin last year is fluttering in the eyes of the Cincinnati Reds of 1927.
 With Horace Ford ready to start Jack Hendricks believes the Reds have an excellent opportunity to finish in front this season. Ford was out for the greater part of the race last summer when the Reds ran second to St. Louis. Had he been holding down short when the season opened Hendricks believes the Reds would have won the championship with a margin of games to the good. The Reds had the batting leadership of the league last year and three of tn; leading hitters. Hendricks ex- poets to open the season with the same players that place the club in the runner-up position last year.
 No outstanding trade shave been negotiated outside of the purchase of Kolp, a pitcher bought from St. Paul of the American Association. Enough recruits have been added to bring the Reds pitching roster up to fourteen. With Ford among the regulars, the infield is one of the strongest in the league. Pipp will be at first base, Critz who was voted the second most valuable player in the National league, at second, and Dres sell at third. Pettinger obtained from Louisville last year, will act as first substitute infielder for the left side of the diamond. Bressler will be ready to play first base should he be needed to replace Pipp.
 For the outfeld the Reds have Christensen, left field; Roush, center and Walker right, with Bressler and Zitzman as reserves. Bressler proba- bly, will play left field when a left hand pitcher is in the box for the opposing team.
 The pitching staff is conceded to be strong with the lineup of Luque, the Cuban; Mays, submarine hurler: Donohue, Jakie May, Nehf and others. ..
 Luque has announced that he may not leave Cuba to play with Cincin- nati the coming season, but it is be- lieved he will answer the call of play ball" when the season opens. Nehf has reported that the neuritis has left his pitching hand and that he will be in shape to take his regu- lar turn in the box.
 Catcher Eugene Bubbles" Har- grave, considered by John Heydler. president of the National league, as the leading batter last year, will catch the major portion of the games. Val Picinich will be second string catcher, with Hyde Suke- forth, who was recalled from the minors, as third man. .. The Reds will train this spring along the usual lines. They will go to Orlando, Fla. on February 26, and remain in the south six weeks. After seven days practice, exhibition games begin with the Cleveland Indians at Orlando on March 8.
 Then will follow the New York Americans, St. Louis Americans, Washington and Indianapolis, the team will leave Florida March 31, playing six games in four different cities on the way home.

League Standing

Another sizzling battle is on the cards for the Industrial league at the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium tonight when the P. & F. Corbin team battles the Landers, Frary & Clark quintet in the second game of the evening. The first game will be staged between the Stanley Rule & Level and the New Britain Machine teams.
 The New Britain Machine five is going to win a game in this seasons play or bust" and tonight might find the players playing the game of their young lives against the con- querors of the strong Russwin team. The Machine company faces big odds in the game, but the members of the squad feel confident that they will come through.
 Nothing would please the Uni versals more than to topple the champions of last year in the second scrap of the evening. The Corbin quintet has failed to show any great amount of strength in It's recent games and for this reason the Landers crew believes that 1t can beat P. & F. tonight.
 On the other hand, Harry Gins burg. coach of the league leaders of 1925-26 feels certain that his charges have lost their last game in the league. He has developed men to take the place of those lost through graduation" last year and with proper team work, the squad should come. through in it's critical game tonight
 The Corbin Screw team is leading the league with eight wins and one loss. The R. & E. quintet stands second with seven wins and two losses while the Stanley Rule is third and Corbins fourth. A win for the P. & F. team tonight will bring them within striking distance of the league leaders while loss will put them out of the running.
 The Stanley Rule team has chance to get into first place provid- ing the present leaders meet with reverses and for that reason the Rulers will do their utmost to beat the Machiners. The Corbin team will fight a desperate fight and many favor the team to win over Landers.
 The first game will start promptly at 8 o'clock with the second follow ing closely on the heels of the first. Dancing will be enioyed after tho games.

The guards worked hard, but no guarding could stop the shots the Atlas players were making from spectacular distances. Lee was especially good at this long range attack, with Dunn, Butler, and Kelsey all rendering ample aid. The Atlas could not do anything from near the basket but did not have to with its desperate heaves from mid- court dropping in the way they were. The game was the cleanest of the year. ....."

GARCIA TO BATTLE
 BRITISH CHAMPION Soldier Batder to Prove He Is Making a Real Comeback in Ring

Waterbury, Jan. 25.-Bobby Gar cia, the Baltimore battler, once popularly known as the Army As sassin" will attempt to prove to the fight fans of Connecticut that he is making a real comeback in the ring when he faces George Mckenzie, featherweight champion of Great Britain in the F round star bout of the boxing card to be conducted here Friday night in the Phoenix Avenue armory. This show is the first con- ducted by the newly organized Phoenix A. C. and Edward V. Curley, matchmaker of the new club has ar ranged what appears to be a fine show for the opening night.
 TT The lost time Nutmeg fight follow CTS saw Garcia in action was last June in Hartford when Louis (Kid) Kaplan, defending his title for the last time. knocked out the army lad in a hurry. Garcia laid off after this for some time but recently has re- turned to the wars and has been
  weights. He knocked out Jose Lom- bardo in nine rounds, finished Lew Mayrs in three rounds and put Ruby Stein to sleep in nine rounds in his last three appearances. This makes it appear that he is the Garcia of old and if he is his many friends around the state will see their old time favorite making things misera- -bIe for Mckenzie.
 This will be McKenzie's first ap- pearance in the United States but he compiled an enviable record in Great Britain and is expected to cut quite swath among the 126 pounders in this country who are at present without reigning ruler. He is re- ported to be a mixer which means he is the ideal match for Garcia.
 A strong supporting card has been arranged for this fine star bout In the eight round semi-flnal, Johnny Saxon. the veteran Bridgeport battler will take on Joe Pietrozio, better known as the "Walloping Wop." One Of the preliminaries, a six rounder, will bring together Baby Doll and Mike kenaro, both of this city while the opening four-rounder will wit ness the professional debut of Young Christy, the cleved flyweight who has been fighting in the amateurs for two years and Young Altieri. another local lad who is a clever ringster. There is seating capacity of more than 2,000 persons in the Phoenix avenue armory where the Waterbury roller polo team plays.
