TEAM WINS
 HANDBALL DOUBLES TITLE
Pull Championship Out of the Fire in Rubber" Game With Dressel and Observation-Disclosures Take First Game But Opponents Breeze Through Second- Final Battle Is Close Affair - Score of Deciding Contest is 21 to 17-Victory Was We'll Deserved

The Mae-Hawkins team snatch. ed the Y. M c. A. handball doubles championship out of the fire in the rubber game of the match with Dressel-Greenstein last evening. coming from behind to win by four points after appearing to be all played out. Mag-Hawkins won tho first game of the match c1-l7. but were hard pressed throughout, and the way Dressel-Greenstetn breezed through the second game which they took 21-S. caused the gallery to ex- pect they would cop the deciding game. especially as Mag-Hawkins seemed tired from their efforts in the opening game.
 Dressel-Greenstein ran up a four point lead in the final game and were never less than three points ahead under the ten-point mark. Mag Hawkins kept banging away. however. and it looked like any, body's game for few minutes only to take on the complexion of Dres- sel-Greenstein victory when Green stein began finding the bottom brick" with consistency. Dressel. too. made some nice shots.
 Dressel-Greenstein were leading IT to IA when Hawkins. using his famous round house. serve. squeezed out three points with tho assistance of his partner. who made several nifty shots from the back court on seemingly impossible re- turns. With the score tied, Dressel- Greenstein were retired, and Mag Hawkins went in and added two points. Striving for the goth point to insure at least an overtime game. they "blew" on an easy chance and Dressel- l-Greenstein had their last. chance. Not point would Mag Hawkins yield, however. and taking the serve Hawkins scored one point off each of the competing partners to win. 21-l7.
 Mag Hawkins. the new champions. are recognized as classy pair and deserve the title. Hawkins hits . ball harder than anyone playing tho game at the "Y." while Mag, In ad- dition to being hard hitter, is one of the cleverest floor workers in the game. Dressel- -Greenstein, tho cham pions of several years ago. put up a game fight and should have won the the only thing that matters when games are being won and lost. favor ed the yictors and the palm is theirs.

|S0. CHURCH TEAMS
 l WON 4 VICTORIES
Mercy Squads High Scorer Danny Woslus Tops Juniors

Tho spectacle of team which was almost too good was presented by the South Congregational church h quintet during it's basketball season, which it brought to a belated con- clusion Tuesday night. The team won so many leagues and forced thereby into so many tournaments that the players went stale at the when another victory or two would have meant state honors. The Inter- Church league was captured by the South church for the second successive year, the Congregational ists going through the schedule without a defeat, and Hartford was laid low in the first round of the state tourney. but then the reaction set in and New Britain was elimi- hated by New Haven. The locals also won the Senior County '. M. C. X. title for the second time in q row and moved on in the state tournament until the final round.
  games in daS and were defeated by the Woodstock Collegians. The teams showing in the city tourna- ment was disappointing, as it lost in the first round, but it lost to the aggregation which eventually won the championship, and the players are satisfied with having retained
 
 All told, the first team scored wins in 22 out of it's 27 starts. giving it a two year record of 45 victories out of 55 games. An intermediate team was formed with those players who were under 19 years Of age, and this finished second in the In- termediate County "Y" league with wins and losses. \ junior com bination. composed of boys under 16, was formed as feeder to the first team, and this was victorious in nine out of 14 games played. A heterogeneous team, the Ringers, played two games preliminary to the Intermediates and won them both. This gave the church basketball squads grand seasons total of 4l victories and 13 defeats.
 Mercy Leads Scorers
 Captain Wilton Mercy and his running mate, Clifford Bell divided scoring honors, Mercy running up 3S9 points to lead in total points scored and Bell. who finished second, having the best average per game-13 to the captains 12. Mercy made just one field goal more than his comrade. but his excellent foul-shooting gave him a good sized lead. Henry Rockwell, sub center and forward. also did fine work from the foul line. while he had only eight personals called on him in 20 games. Battling" Otto Barta, charging guard. "led" in per sonals with 67. being elected from nine of his 25 games played. kcr- met Parker, the other guard. and Theodore Vessels, center. were tied for the honor of committing the least personals of any of the regu- lars. averaging barely over one game. The team ran up 1,094 points against 747 for it's opponents, its average score being 4l-c8.
 The individual scoring records were as follows:

WITNESS EXPLAINS
GAS PLANT FIGURES
Alton S. MiIIer's Estimate
Exceeds That of Either of
Two Other Experts.

Alton S. Miller, former officer of the
United Gas improvement Co. of Phila.
delphia, and the last important wit
ness for the Washington Gas Light Co
in its valuation case. today explained
to the Public Utilities Commission, with
the use of a complicated formula, how
he arrived at the theoretical going
value" of the plant
Miller's allowance of $4010,360 for
going concern value exceeds greatly he
estimates on the same item by two other
experts of the company who previously
testified R. o. Luqueer, the COM
pany's engineer, placed going value at
$3.000,000, and William " Burnell of
the firm of Stone & Webster, consult
ing engineers of Boston, who was on
the witnesses stand earlier in the week.
estimated this item at $3,605.000.
Formula Used by Miller.
The formula used by Miller was ap-
pied over the first three theoretical
years Of operation of a gas plant as
Sumed to have been reproduced. He
started by calculating per cent of the
total cost of the plant and using rs
per cent of that because meter install
lation was rs per cent complete in the
first year. With this amount deter
mined. he added Is cents a thousand
cubic feet for the gas sold in the first
theoretical year on the theory that it
would cost that much more to produce
gas than it would after the plant was
completed.
Miller used the same process for the
second and third years, except he
changed the percentage to fit changing
theoretical conditions In each of the
three years. however. he added $40 for
every meter installed
Miller, like the company'S two other
witnesses, gave the commission a diff
ferent definition of going value This,
he said, lis the difference in value be-
tween a complete physical plant not
operating and an organized plant with
an efficient force operating and with
its business attached"
Will Be CrOSS-examined.
Before reaching the going-value es-
innate, Miller explained in detail items
embracing his estimates of overhead He
is expected to complete his direct testi-
mony today. and at the next session

WINTER INJURY COMMON

Winter injury to fruit trees is
common IN Washington, says Pro
fessor o. NJ. Morris of tine depart
ment of horticulture at the State
College Either whitewash the
trunks or wrap them with heavy
paper or burlap, he advises.
"Studies made in the different
fruit growing sections indicate
that there are few fruit trees bear
ing age in the state which have
not, at some period, been injured
: extreme winter temperatures, /"
Professor Morris says. "The lasi
part OF the tree to become dor
mant is the base of the trunk and
it is this area where the most harm
is done.
"ln some apple districts many
trees die each year from collar rot
and similar forms of trouble hay
ing their origin in winter kill.
Whitewashing the trunks or wrap
ping them with heavy paper or
burlap may often aid in prevent
ing injury. 1t matters little if Il
few twigs get nipped, but if the
trunk is injured it is permanent
for new trunks cannot be grown
at random.
"These trunk wrappings do not
act as a protection from low tenn
peratures, but give protection
from the sun and extreme temper
allure lamentations, thus holding
the base of the tree in more even
" dormant condition. Whitewash-
ing should be done soon after the
leaves fall. y
