is 10 wonder that he couldn't make
good showing,
The National Guards are schedul-
ed TO meet Middletown in Middle
town next Thursday night. The
Guards have lost one and won one
from Middletown and next week S
game should be the deciding one.
Although no definite information
has been received by Manager Joe
Carroll of Bristol whether the game
with the Springfield Y. NJ. H. a.
team will be played in Bristol Tues
dav night, the Bristol team is gong
right ahead with plans to stage the
contest.
The Springfield manager declared
after the game in Springfield last
Tuesday night that his team would
not play in Bristol if Manning was
to be used in the lineup. He stated
that he would not use Mendell IN
the game. 1t was short fist fight
between these two players that
started the small-sizcd riot that
broke up the game.
Manager Carroll of the Bristol
team wired the Springfield manager
that Bristol would play the game
under his conditions but up to the
present time, he hasn't received an
answer. The Bristol hall next Tues
day night will resemble a New Brit
ain game there will be so many fans
from here there.
The New Britain Guards have an
Interesting double header scheduled
for Friday and Saturday nights,
March II and IL when they meet
the Atlas A. C. OF New Haven. The
Atlas also has split even with New
Britain in two games played so far
this season and the coming series
will be a critical one for the local
club.
The amateur tournament at the
state armory on Arch street tonight
will be the last to be conducted BY
the Mohawk A. C. at that hall. Next
week, on Friday, March 4, the club
will stage its tournament at the new
Y. NJ. 7. A. & B. hall on Nam
street.
Promoter Ed Lavrow of the Ma
tonal A. c. figures that the licking
he took at the wrestling bouts at
Turner hall last Wednesday night,
financially speaking, wasn't an in
dication of the reception that WrcSt-
ling is due to get in this city. Sew
eral things went TO make the show
financial failure.
Odd Fellows hall was too far re-
moved from the North-end section,
he believes, while Wednesday night
was an ff-night for a card. He will
visit New Britain next week and will
go into conference with the finance
committee of the Tabs to try and
secure chat hall for the next wrest-
ling show.
On the next card, he will bring
to New Britain the best wrestlers
available and these will include, it
is thought, some champions or near
champions
Wrestling circles have become
stirred over the prospect OF bout
between AL Ventres of Berlin and
Fred Bruno of Hartford. Bruno
hurled a challenge at our Az We'd
nesday night and it was immediate
ly accepted.
Ventres is known throughout the
state for his proves on the mat and
he has hundreds Of hackers who will
be with him in the meeting with the
Hartford man.
OF interest to the High school
sport fans is the announcement that
Billy Taylor, back on the Hartford
High football team and star basket
ball player there, will probably
make his first appearance as an
amateur boxer at the Mohawk A. G..
tourname . tonight.
Taylor was always a big threat in
athletic contests between New Brit
ain and Hartford High school teams
and many will be on hand to see
him in the ring.
