NEW YORK OPPONENTS
 OF DRY LAW FIGHTING
Blazing the Way for Constitutional Convention to Modify the
 Eighteenth.

Albany, N. T., Jan. 13 R)-Op-
 York legislature are blazing the way for constitutional convention 10
 modify or repeal the eighteenth amendment.
 Two proposals predicted on active
 cooperation of other states are spon- sored by Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvillier, democrat, New York, pro- tagonist of the vets. One would
 memorialize congress to give the states power to draft their own en- forcement laws and define intoxicat- ing beverages. The other would ask
 congress to summon a constitutional convention to repeal the amendment. Already. according to Assembly,
 man Cuvillier, United States Sena-
 tors Bruce of Maryland, Walsh of Massachusetts, Edwards of New Jer sey, and Gerry of Rhode Island are lined up in favo rof the proposals and will seek support in their legls- latures. while w. H. Stayton, head of the national association opposed to prohibition, stands ready to mobil-
 ize active Hobbies in the states and marshal the wet forces.
 Hope for a constitutional convn-
 tion rests upon the fact that 2S states already have petitioned con-
 gress to call the convention for con-
 sideration of other proposals. With the legislature adjourned
 until Monday night, republican lead CTS plan to map out a plan of action
 on the various wet proposals already advanced. Some are scheduled for
 action Monday night.

PLAYERS MUST DANCE
Boys Club Hoopsters Fast on Court, But Slow at Counting To be Taught Dancing.

The fine art of dancing will shortly be taught to members of the Boys l club basketball team along with the
 more usual passing. dribbling, and
 shooting. Their fast work in the
 game draws a large crowd of men and boys each week, but very few
 girls are attracted to the club by
 their dancing. The boys seem to
 lose their speed when the game ends
 and are very slow indeed to ask the | girls to dance. the result being that
 many girls are left without partners land do not come again.
 To change this situation Superin- tendent Dwight Skinner is about to inagurate a dancing class in the
 senior club, which is composed of
 the oldest club members, including all the basketball players. When they have learned to step about the floor with a partner as well as they
 do with a basketball they will be
 able to eliminate the line of wall flowers who have no partners. The girls come for the dancing, and the
 club is determined to sec that they enjoy it. And the lessons may help the players to skip and pivot through an opposing defense more effectively and gracefully than before.

CHAPTER TWELVE BY JACK McAUIJFEF,

| Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc )
 Fighters were treated like dogs
 in those days.
 1 I was matched to fight Jack Hop
 per, the man who hit me terrible
 blow above my cheek bone in our
 first fight and paralyzed my mind so
 l could not remember a single thing
 that happened for four rounds. We
 were to meet in back of the Cedar hurst Country club. It was Febru-
 ary 27 q believe) in 1886, late at
 night.
 My, how the cold, raw wind blew! l Our teeth were chattering, our faces
 were blue. Twenty of New York s l biggest swells, all great men from i Wall street, were in the clubhouse eating and drinking before a warm fire when We reached the building. We tried to get in the clubhouse l to get warm.
 No fighters in here" said the bull at the door. Stay out and freeze for all care. And you don't | get nothing to eat either" NC Ntllt oNcl lo lut in the darkness and huddled to- gether until one by one, taking their sweet time, the swells came out to see us.
 We stripped our clothes off and it's wonder We didn't catch pneu- monia. A thin layer of ice coated the water bucket held by my broth CT Con.
 Hopper and I started off at fast pace to keep warm. Every time we drew a quick deep breath it seemed like a million needles were piercing our lungs. I thought Hopper would be easy but he was sure tough. The swells sat in their seats and, pro- tected by heavy blankets, watched us maui each other while the wind cut to the bone. Hopper and each put up S250 side bet and all fights then were on a winner-take-all basis.
 I can rememebr one of the swclls yelling 1900 Hopper doesn't last three more rounds" I gritted my teeth, angered at the whole affair. fingered at the terrible treatment given us when we applied for food and warmth early in the night and angered at the fop- pish swells whom we were amusing.
 I purposely laid back for three rounds and the swell lost his bet. There was a well-known scion of wealthy and prominent New York family there. He was born without arms or legs and two servants set him on top of barrel and between rounds they'd carry him over near fire and then back again.
 Finally in the IT round I knocked out Hopper.
 Then after that gruelling pace and all the hardships we had just put our clothes on and were sitting down half famished, 10 eat when the cry of "Police." echoed across the frosty air.

Saturday night, the Guards have another tough team coming here when they meet the St. Joseph T. A. B. five of Waterbury. This team has such men on it as Dumschott, Carrigan and Sheehy and the Guards will be extended to the limit to win.
 Last nights game was a rough house for the most part though in intensity, it did not equal the battle staged in Meriden. It looks as if the basketball rivalry has switched from Hartford to Meriden.
 Some of the fans in this city were of the opinion that the Merden Endees had dictated to the local management on the choice of a referee for last nights game Such was not the case. Dick Dillon, who referees the games here regularly. had another engagement for last night which he could not put off and for that reason, Clyde Waters of Bristol substituted.
 The game got away from Waters also last night in the minds of many of the fans and he failed to call many fouls which were committed on both sides.
 Carl Restelli got great hand upon entering the game and Hope" appeared to be right at home with the Guards. .. With him as alternate center, the Guards can expect to meet the best in the state on even terms.
