 Another cha pter in the long g-stand- ing rivalry between the New Britain Boys club and the Middletown Y. M. c. A. will be written tonight when the basketball teams from the two organisations meet on tho floor of the local club. Last season. Now Britain won three of four games played with the Middletown quintet, while on Thanksgiving night the To- calls went over to the neighborins city and took their foes into camp in the first game played in the new gymnasium there. This was . tor rid game right up to the finish and another one to match it is expected tonight.
 The club appears to be finding it. self. Tony KerelejEa still lacks the dash which. combined with his pass ing and shooting ability, would make him a star, but Schmarr has run wild in the past two games, Gona and Grusha are having their best season, and Compagnone is his old reliable self, with the reserves prov. ing quite capable in filling the shoeS of the regulars. Middletowh has its biggest weapon in Dunn, trtck-shot specialist who is liable to cage a flip from any corner. The rest of the team is only slightly less dan- gerous, with Gustafson. former New Britain player. being . threat in the back court.
 The preliminary game will bring together the Boys club Reserves and the Whippets. Jack Tobin will be back on the job as referee tonight.

Southington and Plainville are now tied for the lead in the Senior County "Y" basketball league. Plainville having taken the place of the local South church in the dead lock by defeating 1t last week. The present leaders are scheduled to meet in Plainville this week. but it is likely that inability to secure a floor at present will force the post ponement of the all-important en- counter. Plainville showed last week that it had a dangerous team. while Southington from the start has been conceded to be ono of the stronges. in the loop. It suffered some last week. however. when Manager Nell son Broemel received a sprained back in the game with Kensington and was temporarily rendered unfit for taking his position at guard.
 The other game of the present week will bring the Bristol Congre- gational church team to this city to meet the Kensington Boys club at the Senior High school. Both teams are out to break into the win column and a good game is expected. The exact date of the game has not been announced. The New Britain entry will be idle this week. but next Wednesday 1t will invade Southington to tackle the pace. makers.

New Britain hit bottom in the American Roller Hockey league yes terday when 1t lost its fourth straight game. this time to the Fall River quintet. It was . little. padded 1rishman from "Corky Hill" up Providence way by the name of Jlm- my Purcell that was the cause of it all. Guarding the Fall River cage like a tiger at bay, Purcell chalked up a total of 6o stops and although J. Perregrin. Harry Thompson and Barney" Doherty bombarded him with all sorts of drives and hooks, "Corky" let only three slip through him while his mates were rolling six by Welch. the New Britain goalie. and Fall River trotted off with 6 to win.
 "Kid" Williams wasn't needed 90 much yesterday to help in the offense because for 75 per cent of the time. the game was being played up against Fall Rivers cage. but Welch. New Britain's net guardian. was alniss in keeping in the cage and Fall River caged enough points to win.
 Welch comes out of the goal en- tirely too much. Yesterday fully three goals got by him that could have been stopped had he his back to the iron guard rail. The other three slipped in through neat work by the Fall River forwards. On the other hand. the goals that New Brit ain got were earned without any question.
 Barney Doherty played up in een- ter yesterday and. veteran that he is, he worked like a Trojan especial ly as the third period was coming to a close and New Britain had a chance to tie the score. No player tn the league could have done better work than Harry Thompson. Throughout the entire game. Harry broke up the Fall River pass work and he flashed up and down the rink defending his own goal and shooting for the Fall River nets E. Perregrin. brother of the New Britain player. was the high scorer for the visitors. Paired with Har- kins, veteran star. he wormed his way through the New Britain backs and caged four of his teams points. Freddie Harkins caged another while the sixth was one by "Old Man Ac- cidental." This shot bounced into a crowd in front of New Britain's goal and went in from a New Britain shin pad.
 Both teams got two goals in the first period through 20 minutes of speedy play. Fall River forged to the front in the second stanza with two to one while the same result in the third period gave Fall River its , one point edge. The score: New Britain Fall River f. J.

LOewenstein Friends
Indignant as RumOrs
Hint He Took Own Life

BRUSSELS, July 6.-Friends and
business associates of the late Capt.
Alfreds Loewenstein were indignant
today over hints that the famous Bel
gan capitalist may have committed
suicide. through disappointment over
his inability to obtain loans to carry
out vast enterprises he had in mind.
The most sensational turn the
tragedy has yet taken was a report
that a hoax may be involved in the
strange disappearance of the finan-
cier. UncOnfirmed rumors were cir
cuIa ted that the plane, which was
carrying Loewenstein flom London
to Brussels, was seen to make a
landing on an isolated stretch or
coast near The village of Bray Dunes.
According to these reports the
plane passed Dunkirk and had nearly
reached the Belgian frontier when it
turned back. 1t was rumored that
certain of Captain LoeWenstein's
employees had been warned in ad-
vance that he might disappear"
Friends Of the capitalist classified
these rumOrs az Just as absurd as
The report that he had committed
suicide"
The raGedY remains an unex-
pI ined mystery, although members
of the Loewenstein family believe 1t
was an accident.

LONDON, July 6.-While Capt.
Alfred Loewenstein, noted Belgian
was generally believed TO
be dead, the veil of mystery which
surrounded his strange disappear
ance from an airplane while bound
from this city to Brussels on
wednesday evening was not pierced
today.
Many strange rumors were cur
rent that were grouped as follows:
/. That Loewenstein accidentally
fell to his death from the plane
while crossing the English Chann2l;
2. That the capitalist. faced with
the possibility of being injured by
business rivals through his inability
to contract huge loans, committed
suicide;
3. That the Belgian financier is
not dead. but may turn up later
with an explanation of his mys-
terious disappearance"
An official investigation in France
has been concluded without any
formal finding. The French police
frankly admitted that they did not
know whether Loewenstein had
fallen from the plane accidentally
or had plunged to his death through
design.
The Loewenstein shares were
little stronger on the stock ex-
change today.

CREW Of PLANE
PRAISE WOOD

Coolheadedness on the part of
Lieut.. Myron d. Wood, pilot Of the
Douglas transport plane which yes
terday crashed in the Potomac River
near Four-M Mile Run, probably saved
the lives of the seven men with him
in the ship.
This was the consensus Of opin-
ion among the men who were accom-
panying Lieutenant Wood on a.
flight over the Potomacs River when
the engine died at a height of 1000
feet. The pilot saw a small field
near the edge of the river and, tried
desperately to make safe landing
there. With the balance OF his crew
huddled aft in the fuselage to main
tain an equal balance, Lieutenant
Wood volplaned the ship toward the
small clearing.
There was not enough altitude.
however, and the pilot did the next
hest thing. brought the plane down
in the shallow water close to the
rivers banks. Private Thomas
