ST. THOMAS QUINTET TO
APPEAR HERE JANUARY 5
Hartford Basketball Team to Leave
Its Home Floor for First
Time In History.

According to the schedule of the
New Britain High school basketball
team announced in the Herald last
evening. the local five will open its
season in this city against the St.
Thomas seminary quintet OF Hart
ford on January s. This will be the
first time In the history OF the two
schools that the Hartford team will
leave its own floor and come to this
city. New Britain and st. Thomas
are rivals of old standing and have
met for years back. All Of the games
were played in Hartford due to a
special rule of the seminary which
does not allow the basketball team
to leave town.
On account OF the friendly rela-
tons between the schools and due
to the fact that the Seminary sched-
ule was filled up. the Hartford
school officials voted to grant special
permission to the team to come to
this city on January s. This game
will fall during the Christmas vaca-
ton of the seminary and this also
prompted the Hartford officials to
allow the team to come here. The
game will be played in the afternoon.
probably at the Stanley arena.
The Hartford team has a veteran
lineup and is coached by Rev. Will
liam Downey. formerly curate at
st. Mary's church OF this city. New
Britain has four veterans of last
years team left.

dempsey MAY Be
referee IN BOUT
Former Champion May Act in
Sharkey.StiAin6 Fight

New York, Dec. Is (UP)-NeNt to
the proposal of John Heydler for d
ten man baseball team there has
been no more divertins suggestion
made this winter than that by Tex
liickard that Jack Dempsey will ref
cree the heavyweight bout between
Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling al
Florida dog track.
To those who have followed the
career Of the former heavyweight
champion since he crawled through
the ropes one blistering July day at
Toledo until he was helped from the
ring at Soldiers field, the idea OF
Dempsey In the role Of referee is in
triguing 10 say the least.
Jack has been SO constantly in
volved with matters requiring a ref
eree's judgment that there should be
no situation new to him in connec-
ton with 2 prize fight. But the ex-
champion has not always been on
the referees side of the argument.
(Cries of hear, hear" from Dave
Barry. ct all
From first to last, Dempsey has
been = participant in ring episodes
in which his success or failure de-
pended upon the judgment of the
third man within the ropes. Even
at Toledo after he had cut the giant
Willard to Ribbons, Jack might cas-
lily have been disqualified for leaving
the ring at the end OF the first
round.
There was the never-to-be-forgot-
ten first round at the. Polo Grounds.
four years later, when Luis Angel
Firpo drove him through the ropes
and out of the ring. and when
Dempsey came back to stand over
his foe and hack him down repeat

the big South American sporting
chance. or legal one.
Then there was the incident al
Yankee stadium, when Sharkey went
down grovelling from a series of
body blows which many who were
present still believe landed low. And
last of all. there was the occasion OF
the famous long count" at Chicago
There have been other times dur
ing Dempsey's amazing career when
he has been dependent upon the de-
cision of a referee. but those are the
high spots.
1t would be rather ironical to
have Jack as the third man in the
ring when Sharkev meets Stribling
since the big Lithuanian has never
ceased to maintain that he was
foulcd by Dempsey at Yankee Sta
dium. The referee of that bout
never officiated again In this city
Sharkey had shaken up the ex-
champion badly in the opening
rounds, and was ahead on points
when Dempsey ripped home two
fairly low rights to the body. The

Detroit Dec. 10 R, - Frankie

ished Sharkey.
There were cries of foul" but
they were drowned out by hysterical
cheers for the most popular figure
the prize ring has known since John
l.. Sullivan's day. and fully as ns,ny
OF those present yelled that Sharkey
was yellow" as screamed that
Dempsey had deliberately fouled
his opponent.
The magic of Dempsey's name is
potent in fistic circles, and his pres
ence as referee undoubtedly would
enhance the drawing power of the
proposed Florida bout. But whether
Sharkey would consent to his former
conaueror officiating is another ques-
tlon. RHkard. who proposes to hold
the bout at dog park at Miami
Beach in which he owns stock. pays
the piped and the performers and
so. perforce, calls the tune. But
Sharkey has mind of his own. or
what passes for one, and may have
something to say on the subject.
Having been made and maintained
as heavyweight champion by sue
cessive referees who might. had they
chosen to risk the wrath of the
multitude, have tossed him out of
the ring neck and crop, Dempsey
finally lost his big opportunity
through the decision OF Referee
Dave Barry at Soldiers Field on
September %. 1927. That was the
occasion of the IA count" Tunncy
