League Standing

Of the two games to be played at the Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium tonight, the second will be a battle of in. tense proportions It will be be- tween the Stanley Rule & Level five and the Landers Frary & Clark team. The Stanley Rule is driving towards the top of the league while Landers, without my special prize in view is proving to be the stum- bling block for the leading teams in the league
 The first game of the evening Will give the Russell & Erwin five the opportunity of going into first place by half game. The team plays the New Britain Machine Co, squad and without much doubt, should come through with a win over the tail enders.
 The Landers team is anxious to beat the Stanley Rule team and for that reason, every man on the squad will be in excellent trim. The Rulers are guarding against any losses because the players realize that to keep in the running, the team can't afford even one loss to any of the other teams.
 The Corbin Screw team meets the Rulers next week and this will be a crucial game for both teams. It will mean that the Corbin Screw team is practically out of the run hing, if it loses, for first place, while it will be thrown into a tie for second place with the Stanley Rule team.
 As the schedule works out, the two leading teams are found in a very different position. The R & E. team and the Corbin Screw five tied for first place. The Russell G; Erwin has an easy game tonight but two weeks from tonight, t meets the Corbin Screw team. On the other hand, next week the Corbin Screw team meats the Stanley Rule quintet and the following week bat ties the Russell X Erwin five. Losses in these games will mean disaster.
 The possibility of tie in the league for first place between either the Russell X Erwin and Corbin Screw or R. & E. and Stanley Rule teams is very bright Should the victor of next weeks battle between the Corbin Screw and the Stanley Rule, be the Screw Shop and then if the team continues winning and beats R. X E., they will both be tied for first. If the Stanley Rule wins and the Corbin Screw still beats out the R. &c F. team the Rul- CTS and Russwins will be tied If the Russwin team wins all it's re- maining games, 1t has the cham pionship cnched with second place in doubt between the Stanley Rule and the Corbin Screw teams. Truly the league will have hot finish.
 The first game will start promptly at o'clock with the second follow ing closely after. Dick Dillon will referee and dancing will follow tho games.

|DOYS' CLUB TRIMS
 HARTFORD QUINTET
Local Team SWamps Keystones Under a Al to "A Score

The Keystones of Hartford proved no match for the Boys Club last night and were smothered under q 41-14 score at the East Main street gymnasium. It was the 11th straight victory of the season for Captain Nick Gill and his fast passing array of players. with two wins at the end of last year bringing the run of wins to 13. Last years game was not the best of this series of victories. for the club wasted three periods in er- ratio passing before getting down to the real business of the evening and the keystones could not break through the defensive wall which the New Britain guards formed. The Hartford quintet, substituting for the Manchester Rec" aggregation, played too carefully and was out charged all the way by the home team.
 kley cut down on his own tip-oH and scored a field goal in the first ten seconds, Goffa coming through
 
 Kraszewski making 1t 6-0 before Lavery and Henderson shot the first Keystone points from the foul line. Gill and Lavery make baskets and the quarter found the totals S-4. The second period was slow; Gill's left hook began to work in Its accustom- ed fashion, but the handling of the ball was ragged. The keystones, however. did no scoring from the field and the half found 1t 14-5:
 Two technical fouls within six seconds let each team add point as the third quarter began. During this quarter the club gradually drew away to 22-10, Henderson making all of the Keystones' points. AS the last session began the Boys club regain ed it's poise and ran amuck, breaking through the visitors defense almost at will to score 19 points in whirl- wind order. Gill, Goffa, Kraszewski and Zapatka all joined in the avalaiche of baskets and the Key stones were left hopelessly in the rear Levin seemed to have the wrong idea and instead of shooting baskets made four personals in as many minutes, going out by this route for the first time of the year, but Zapatka dropped back into his position and the defense was not weakened.
 Kraszewski and Gill led the clubs attack, not only in the matter of scoring points, but also in taking the ball away from the visitors time and again and keeping it in the pos sesion of the home team. This pair remonstrated that the best defense is an attack and usually completed the Keystone plays for them by scoring baskets of their own. Goffa and Silva were impenetrabe in the back court, while the former broke loose in scoring in the final frame. Hen avalanche of baskets and-the Key stone points, with Charbonneau working well on the floor. The sum- mary:

Ambassador Lauds Those Who Died

Explaining that he was present 'as

participating with you in this act OF
religious and patriotic commemora-
ton" Ambassador Ferrera stated that
the men who persisted in the eXplo.

cuba by birth. but they have been
since then, by a superior title. by the
sacrifice of their lives, truly as right
full citizens of Cuba is the purest or

Death has made them ours" he
said. las much ours as they were
yours exclusively while they lived.
They are remembered today in
Cuba with the same deep feeling that
their memory is reverenced here by
their fellow countrymen. and as long
as gratitude exists in the world, their
sacrifice will be recalled by the people
of Cuba, who will ever keep alive in
their hearts fervent and 1next1n-
guishable sympathy for those gallant
sailors"
The victims of the Maine, DIR. Fer
rera asserted, served even more eff
fectively than the warriors VINO
fought on the fields of battle for the
independence of Cuba, because their
sacrifice became exalted into a symbol
and out of that symbol came our VIC
tory
THE death of SO many men. which
seemed at first sight a useless waste
of life," he said. land which super
fetal historians perhaps considered as
the painful consequences of a blind
decree of fate, has been, in fact, one
of the decisive pages of our history

for us on account of its far-reaching
consequences"

Enjoying Full Freedom.

DR.. Ferrera added, and who prize

people on earth to achieve 1t, can all
affirm that they enjoy as full freedom
as any people can enjoy. even the

THE secular ideal of Cuba, to live in
political affairs as independent as she
is geographically, has not been men,

its decided support. If a different con-
