 ID SILVER CITY
New Britain Amateurs Show
 Glass in First Time on Floor

New Britain's All-Stars, a team of amateur hockey players met defeat in its first start against the pick of Meriden amateurs last night in the preliminary at the Stanley Arena to the New Britain Waterbury game but give the combination a couple of workouts like last night and it won't he long before the quintet will be registering wins. The score was 12 to s.
 For d group Of men who played together for the first time, the quin- tet worked sWeetly against a better conditioned combination from Meri- den. The team took the floor with Pete Fusari and Jimmy Clinton at the fushes. Jack Fusari at center, Frank Hoole at halfback and George Bayer at goal,
 The quintet flashed snappy pass work that would do credit to one Of the league teams and Jimmy Clin- tons work especially caused him to stand out as the most finished player on the floor. Hoole's defensive work at halfback was the sensation Of the game and his neat work with the stick in breaking up passes was one of the features of the game.
 The Meriden team showed good stuff all through the contest, Per ringer and Boehle especially star ring. Hill played a nice game at goal for the Silver City combination and stopped plenty Of drives for the nets. George Bayer could not get going last night and in the first period gave poor exhibition of goal tending. His work picked up however. and in the second and third periods he looked something like the Holyoke regular of week or so ago,

DENIES APPOINTMENT
Billy Evans States That He Has Not Even Conferred With Art Fletcher About Mnnagership.

Cleveland, O.. Dec. 9 P>-Parti- sans of the Cleveland American League baseball club, eager to know who will direct the team next sea son, today were pondering on tele- gram received yesterday from Billy Evans, general manager of the club. He wired friends here that contrary to previous reports confirming his appointment of Art Fletcher, present New York Yankee coach. he had not even conferred with Fletcher and that when any announcement was made, it would come~from President Ava Bradley.
 Meanwhile Evans. who is en route tere from a meeting of the National Association of Professional Baseball clubs at Dallas, Texas, arrived yes terday in St. Louis, with Bill Frlel, manager of the St. Louis Browns, but he disappeared after a confer ence in Frels' office and efforts to find him were unavailing. He was thought to be on his way here.
 Evans conferred several times last week with Roger Peckinpaugh Chi cago White Sox infielder and coach, whose home is here. Muddy" Rucl, catcher for the Washington Senator's, also is being considered, in the opin- ion of local baseball men, whil. | Fletcher, after saying that he had not been approached and was not fayorahly inclined toward the job, has stated that only an eNtraordi- nary offer would draw him to CleNe- | land if New York, was willing to 1 keep him as coach and scout.

pin defeat on the other and from all indications, there should be plenty of fireworks in this session.
 Frank Keenan of this city will meet Art Buck-of Hartford in the 150 pound class. These two boys are both of the hard hitting type and they should furnish plenty of action while they are in the ring.
 Four battlers from Bristol will ap- pear for the first time in a New Britain amateur ring. They are Nick Christie, Al Taylor. Pat Cleary and Joe Foster. Everyone of them has had experience in the ring and they are rated as good men. Lucicn Gregory of Waterbury is set to meet Ray Strong of Hartford. This has all the earmarks of being a real slugGing bee. Eddie Camp of Hart ford, Joe Cody of New Britain. Joe Harris of Hartford and others will be seen ill action.
 There are 12 bouts on the card and the officials of the Mohawk A. C. hope to furnish the fans with an evening of real fistic entertainment. The card is one of the most expen- sive attempted in this city and every effort has been made to make 1t the best of the season. This will be the last tournament to be saged In 1927, the next being carded for January. The first bout tonight will take place at S:30 o'clock.

TABS ARE READY
 FOR TOUGH GAME
North End Team Goes Through
 Spirited Workout at Hall

Members of the Tabs basketball team went through three hours of practice at the '. M. T. A. X E. society hall last night in preparation tor the game Saturday with the Plainfield team. Only two members son of Middletowu and Frank Ar bour, guards.
 Landers, Frary & Clark team of the Industrial League furnished op- position in the practice tilt. The lineup of the Tabs at the start was Paige, center: Berry and Taylor, forwards; Jimmy Reynolds and Res teli, guards. Later Tommy Reyn- olds took Taylors' place at forward and John Sheehan went in at guard in place of Jimmy Reynolds. The last combination was Restelli, cen ter; Tommy Reynolds and Taylor, forwards; Jimmy Reynolds and Sheehan, guards.
 The three combinations scored all most at will against the Universals. Paige seemed to have worked his way into form and was playing q great part in the pass work besides connecting with the hoop on several occasions. Berry. also played well in the session. His floor work was especially good.
 It was definitely stated by Man ager James Luby that the team will play the Plainfield team tomorrow and If any change to Wednesday night was to be made it would not take effect this week. Manager Luby, however, was inclined to think that the discussion of a change in playing nights would not take place this time. Nothing has been brought before the team in a formal way as yet, Mr. Luby said.
 The Plainfield team holds a 50 10 S0 victory over the Meriden h. silcos which last week suffered 35 to 16 defeat from the Tabs. Judging by comparative scores the Tabs are an even bet in the game
 
 the Insilco manager, Plainfield de- fcated the Insilcos when the game was being played under professional rules. In defeating the Silver City team in a game played under anna teur rules, the Tabs accomplished a greater feat.
 There is no doubt but that the Tabs will have to reach the greatest form of the season, if they wish to put a victory on the books tomorrow The result will depend to a great extent, on how well the starting combination is chosen. The best five of the squad of nine players must be in the game at the start.
 The Burritt 4. C. team will play the Polish American team of Thompsonyille in the preliminary game.

NEW BRITAIN ID
 PLAY ATLAS FIVE
Locals to Stage First Home
 League Game Tomorrow Night

The New Britain basketball team goes to New Haven tonight to tackle the Atlas quintet in a state league game at the New Haven arena. Both teams are tied for first place hav- ing won the first game played in the circuit.
 The Atlas five. always a strong contender for state championship honors. has been strengthened this year by the addition Of several new men. Pite. formerly of Yale fame and Cohen form one of the best for ward combinations in state league circles while Trupin. who appeared in this city with a number of teams from New York city, is regarded as a center of extraordinary ability. The guards Gordon and Captain Chadys are known as two of the strictest guardians of their basket.
 The battle tonight will be not only an ordinary state league contest but it will also be a battle for suprema- cy between the two quintets. The New Britain team won its first league game by taking the Hartford Yankees in an overtime encounter in Hartford last week and it will have to travel at top speed to get by the Elm City crew tonight.
 Saturday night, the team will play it's first home game in the league with the Waterbury team as the op- position. Waterbury is coming here with one of the strongest teams ever to represent the Brass City. It start ed the league by dropping the Meri- den Endees In hectic encounter and then turned about and dropped it's second game to the Atlas.
 Old favorites are in the Brass City lineup Dunn and "Heinie" Caring ton are playing forwards with Lefty" McNamara at center. Mag ner and Sheehy are at the guard positions and the quintet forms court combination that Is formida- ble and dangerous.
 In both tonight's game and to- morrow nights encounter, New Brit ain will use it's first string lineup. Sloman and Rubenstein will pair up at forWardS Wltn JlHlllly LdhLe"shl at center and Captain Sturm and Leary at guards. This quintet with kilduff, Cassidy and Hoist in re- serve will carry through both games. A preliminary game will be play ed at the Stanley arena Saturday night between the two Stanley girls teams. The Stanley Rule quintet will battle the Stanley Works and this in itself will be real feature. !The prelim will start at o'clock with the main game starting about g o'clock. Dancing will follow.

BATTLE ON TONIGHT
Jack Delaney and Paul Bcrlcn- bach Clash For Fourth Time in Chicago Ring.

Chicago. Dec. g LP)-Jack De- laney and Paul Berlenbach, both
 former light heavyweight cham
 pions, mix in their fourth meeting tonight, with considerably more at stake than a mere ten rounds Of
 milling. The match is one of the steps in Chicago's effort to build up an opponent for Gene Tunney, and Delaney is the likely opponent, if he can convince the audience tonight.
 Tunney has said he would like to fight again in Chicago. He likely
 will talk terms with Promoter Jim Mullen here next week, and De- laney may get the big "shot" if his showing is impressive.
 Berlenbach counters this Delaney
 campaign talk with a statement that
 he is fighting the top notchers only to prove to a certain New York clique that he Is not through" De- laney once knocked out Punch Elm" Paul, as Berlenbach used to be known, in four rounds, but the next two encounters were dividedly even ly.
 Indications were they would draw a gate of approximately s50,000 in contrast with the s442, 900 at their last combat in Ebbets field, Brook 1yn. Delaney has gained only couple of pounds since he tossed off the 175 pound title to invade the heavyweight ranks. while Berlen- bach will probably weigh in about five pounds lighter.

NO DECISION GAMES
PerpleNing Problem of Tie Contests Faces Official of the Hockey League.

New York, Dec. Pl-The per- plexing problem of tie contests in various fields of sport had raised a furore in hockey circles today for definite measures to eliminate the increasing number of no decision games.
 President Charles c. Clapp of the Canadian-American hockey league, suggests a wider net as a means of combating draw contests. and pro- poses to present the issue to the National Hockey league rules com mittee.
 With a view of speeding up the ice sport, changes were made be- fore the opening of the current cam paign calling for a shorter stick, de- crease in goal keepers pads and the new forward pass rule in the de- fensive zone.
 Nevertheless, tie contests have been as apparent as ever if not more so,

 Starting in 1918 when Murchison represented the Great Lakes Naval Training station in A.
