Joe Mack. George Mesmer and Jim- my Nolan, guards. This team is practically the same one that so ably represented them last season. In Tommy Allen, the visitors are repre- scented by q youngsters whose serv- ices are sought by the Rochester and Cleveland teams in the American league, but Is unable to sign due 10 the fact that he will enter Syracuse university in February.

 "I want you fellars to keep the kids out of the bedrooms and l want you to keep 'em off the streets after 2 o'clock at night. When ] was kid l used 10 like to shoot . game of pool and l used to like to hang around town late, but l don't think it done me any good.'
 Now rega riding these auto speed CTS. There's lots of fools like to 70 fast. including your present mayor and certain member of the city
 
 council. Some of us think beca use we've got four-wheel brakes it's safe for us 10 do what the other fellow can't. That's the bunk. When you see guy busting the speed limit. warn him once. Then give him g ticket. And that goes for both me and tho city councillor"
 xAt some good friends among 'em. Try to be reasonable with 'em. Use your own judgment and I'll back you up."

 Now about visitors to our city. If they want to sec the historic points Of interest and celebrities like Mayor Giliis don't be bashfui. Show 'em around"
 "something's got to be done about this - hen stealing. It's mighty tough when a guy goes to bed with a poultry farm and wakes up without an egg for breakfast. know who some of the thieves are." CBossy" proceeded to name a few.)
 Now about you fellows loafing in restaurants. It's all right to 60 into a place to get . cup of coffee to warm you up. But don't take | half hour and get 10 arguing about poli- tics. The guys you argue with will go out and talk about you. just like they did about me-
 "Bossy" had promised to "Eet'' four of the IT policemen against whom he held especial malice. They had expected to be spmmarily fired last night. but the new mayor took less drastic action. He shifted three from the day shift to the night shift. The fourth already is working nights.
 "Bossy" explained his action in the opening words Of his advisory address:
 We all make our mista kes," he said, and I've made mine. l was going to do a job on you fellows. Now, don't know. As l get older, maybe I'll be different. If you want to amend your mistakes. maybe you'll be different. Maybe we can ret along better. Well wait and see."

 Harry KicfRer as usual. starred for the losing team and it was through his unuring work that the opposi Etion's score was kept to a minimum. Boomer" Dill fitted in nicely in the picture.

 Which seems to be 6 definite an- swer to the so-called trouble be. tween the champion and the pro moter. Tunney has been saying lot of things about Rickard. but it seems that Gene just wants to keep the world from forgetting just who Is heavyweight champion.
 It will be remembered that Tun- ney got himself a lot of publicity a year ago by pretending he was going to fight for Humbert Fugazy. but when it came time to sign papers for the fight Gene forgot all about any one but Rickard.

We mentioned in our columns a short timc ago that Conley, though a member of a tail-end team, was one of the best goal tenders in the league.

No spectacle in goal tending could be compared with that fur nished by the Wallingford man last night when he broke the leagues record for stops by chalking up li6.
 Bill Blount had m easy time of 1t last night and that probably ac- counted for the four goals that Walltngford got.
