During the war the standard was lowered to S feet

GUARDS ID MEET
 ATLAS THIS WEEK
Locals Play in New Haven Fri
 day and at Home Saturday

The National Guards basketball team of this city will meet the Atlas A. C. of New Haven in two games this week Tho first will be played in New Haven on Friday night at Music Hall while the second will be staged Saturday night at the state armory in this city.
 These games, it is though, will dacde the standing between the two teams in the state title running. Al the present time, the clubs stand tied with one victory each and il the Guards continue the winning streak they started some time ago, the Atlas will be out in the cold
 The Atlas will have it's usual strong lineup and this means plenty of trouble for the Guards. Evans and Botwinick will be at forwards with Sam pite at center and Hur- witl and Gubersky at guards.
 The National Guards will most probably use every man on the team in both games and no quin- tet was ever better prepared for two royal battles than the local team is at present. .Sloman and Rubenstein will probably be used at forward in either of the games with Taylor working in for a good share Of the shooting burdens while Res tc'll will start at his post at center. Red" Reynolds will be counted on 10 furnish q great deal of the oppo- sition. The guard positions will be taken care of by Sturm, kilduff and Sheehan.
 The two games are being con sidered as the two toughest at the end of the season. No matter when these two, teams meet the fur is bound 10 fly and if the Guards come through on both nights with victories they will have done two nights work for any man-sized team.

When Derril Pratt, former American league star. attended Uni ycrsity of Alabama, he also special izca in football and ranked as one of the best drop kickers in the south.
 Perhaps that explains why Pratt played the leading role in one of thc most unusual double plays ever made in the American league.
 Detroit was playing the New York Americans at the Polo Grounds Pratt was at second for New York while PeckinDaugh was stationed at short.
 There was one ont at tho time and Detroit had started a rally that fl seemed would decide the ball game
 The hatsman hit sizzling eroundor 10 Pratts right There didn't seem 10 be a chance for him 10 make a play on the ball. As the ball was hi, Pockinpaugh moved over to cover second should there he q play al that base.
 Pratt never did reach the bal! with his hands but he did so with his trusty right foot. When the ball appeared 10 have passed him it took q peculiar english and cam" into contact with the toe Of Tratt's right shoe
 The result was a beautiful drop kick that Pccllinpaugh took out of the air shoulder high just as he touched second base. His throw to first easily beat the ha'sman, re- tiring the side and ending the rally.
 It is the only incident on recor,, where q football drop kick was brought into baseball Tor the pur- pose of staging q double play,
