BASEBALL REMAINS
 GREATEST OF GAMES
Baseball Writers Hold Annual
 Banquet in New York

New York, Feb. ' (P - Base ball is still great game and will continue to furnish employment for a number of athletes who will per form before thousands of specta tors. This was the consensus at the annual banquet of the New York chapter of the baseball writers ot America last night.
 Much of the fun making of the evening was built about recent in- vestigations of Commissioner K M. Landis, who was guest Of honor.
 Ty Cobb Stopped the show when he was introduced in com pany with a score of major league baseball players. The applause at the. name of Cobb continued until the' former Detroit manager, mani festly moved by the tribute, ex- pressed his appreciation of the ova- tion. Another outbreak of cheering followed his talk.
 John A. Hcydler. president of the National league, suggested that the epidemic of scandal gossip has not been confined to baseball but attacked other sports as well. "The little fish are never gossipped about" said Heydler. There were some aspersions cast on Washing ton a while ago and more recently Gladstone has been under fire" The National league president de- clared that baseball has been de- clared all right because the game is all right
 Frank Cavanaugh, Fordham football coach, talked to the base ball writers about football, saying that the spirit that wins in foot ball also wins in baseball.

Six Cash Customers Pay to See Closely Fought Court Battle-Locals Outplay Powerful Hartford Quintet -Landino Starts Scoring For Home Club-Zaleski and Sowka Star For New Britain-Two Regulars Are Missing From the Squad.

None of the six cash customers who attended the New Britain High school Weaver High school basket ball game in the New Britain gym nasium would have bet counterfeit money on New Britains chances of victory but a patched-up lineup de- feated the Weaver High school quintet. The score was 32 to 26.
 When the few basketball players gether and the roll call was sound- ed there were two places vacant. Fred Zehrer who played center in the game with South Manchester High school and Gabriel Bromberg who was to play that position in the game with Weaver High school were not among those present Zehrer had quit the squad and Bromberg's in- jured arm was not quite right for the game.
 Coach Cassidy looked his five guards over and decided to send Sowka to center, position he had never played before. Cherback went 'Ai Ss iiSiAe beti U III oo" Nd pictIts The team ran up five points on Landino's two field goals and Sow ka's foul in the first three minutes of play.
 Weaver came back and evened the count at all on foul shots by Phelps and Sherman. and field goals by Phelps and Hcllyer. The Hardware City quintet held the lead throughout the game and had the game on ice several minutes before the final whistle sounded.
 Despite the fact that Sowka was playing out of his position he proved to be the steadying power on the team and with Alex Zaleski was the star of the game. The work of Zales- Xxi was especially good in the final period when he made four successive field goals after three personal fouls were called on him. Zaleski and Act ing Captain Matulis went out of the game on personal fouls and Milewski and Joe Charlow took their places in the last quarter. The score:-

 Julian in MeTiden Thursday

| Meriden fistic fans who recently got taste of boxing after a lapse of three years will have another chance to wax enthusiastic on Thursday night when Georgie Day, New Haven puncher, crosses gloves with Tony Julian, the aggressive Brockton, Mass, lightweight, in the feature bout of F rounds at the auditorium, where the Meriden Athletic club holds forth.
 Julian from all accounts, is a most pleasing performer and can be depended on to offer stubborn opposition to the best of them in the lightweight division. The Shoe City" mauler, with decisions over such good ones as Johnny Dundee, Harry (Kid) Brown, George (Kid) Lee and Willie Har- mon, will be making his first ap- pearance in this state in his com ing struggle with Day.
 P Reports state that Day Is in bet ter condition right now than he has been in some time. He has notified the promoters that he will arrive' at the scene of battle some time Tuesday in time to work out at one of the gymnasiums there.

 To round out real fighting card Matchmaker Bradley will stage a trio of four round bouts between the best of the preliminary boys now exhibiting throughout the state.

The southern youngster, however. has found since that date time to whip several of the lesser heavyweights, in May, 1925, when weighing but 170 bounds, Stribling knocked out Quin- tin Romero. Chilean champion, in four rounds at Boston. He later won decisions over Bud German, Wisconsin heavyweight and Johnny Risko, the Cleveland baker.

 Games in Church League
Inter- Church League

The St. Matthew's German Luth- eran and South Congregational church basketball teams remained deadlocked in first place in the Inter- Church league Saturday night by vir- tue of another victory apiece, each after hard battle. The Trinity Methodists put up a stiffer game than expected and were beaten by the St. Matts. 32-21, only in the closing minutes; the score was exactly the same as when the two teams met before. The South church and First Lutherans struggled along on almost even terms for the whole distance, the former finally taking the decision by 32-2S; here again each team was only one score away from what it made in the first meet ing between team.
 St. Matts vs. Trinity NJ. F.
 After a short spurt by the Metho- dists, the St. Matts had things pretty much their own way during the first half of their game, Ernst Klopp banging in four follow-up shots and Billy Preisser getting a pair of nice ones. Litke plunked a long one, and the rest period found the score 17-8. Early in the second session the Methodists rallied. Fengler heaved one from way up the floor and Paul Braddon cut in to make three in sue cession. With their lead cut to four points the St. Mats dug in in earn est. "Goody" Preisser, held scoreless the whole first half. at last got away and found his eye and, with aid from Klopp and Billy Preisser, he soon had his team out of danger.
 Klopp was high man in scoring, dropping in six field goals from scrimmage under the basket. The team showed much improvement in passing, and the change showed in the more even distribution of SCOT ing Billy Preisser's work on both de- fense and offense was good. Paul Braddon featured for the losers, with Deming Hewett making a pair of pretty shots and Fengler fighting hard: The summary:
