M'1IGUE BEATEN BY LED L0MSkI
Veterans Experience Fails to Stop Rushes of Aberdeen Boy

New York, Feb. { R-Rugged Leo Lomski has sent the title aspir- ations of Michael Francis McT!gue spinning out of the pubilistic spncrs today.
 In a ten round bout ln Madison Square Garden last night. Lo.s ski severely punished the pride of Erin who however. held on 10 the last bell through stout heart and val. iant courage.
 McTigue's ring experience of some 1850 battles failed to stop the reck- less abandon of Lontki's flying fists which whipped tireltssly to the Ger tic fighters head and body.
 With powerful body smash. the Aberdeen, Wash. boxer was cn the verge of a knockout victory on sev- eral occasions but the bell proved to be the life saver for Mike.
 Lomseki was the agressor all tho way while McTigue appeared content to use his wiles to carry him through. Mike. who twice was crowned champion of tho light heavyweight ranks. beat a nasty re- treat before Lomski's advances in the first three rounds. Az the crowd booed displeasure of these tactics in the fourth round. McTigue cut loose with rights to the head. which opened tn old wound over Lomski's left eye. Lomski kept pressing hts rival, however. and in a mix up at close quarters had Me- Tigue faltering badly as the round ended.
 In the fifth stAnza. Lomski show cred McTigue's head with fefts and rights, ripping a cut on the fore head and over Mikes left eye. Lon,- ski bored in unflinchingly but ran into McTigue'a left which ripped a cut an inch long under the right eye.
 The coast fighter forced a. hard paqe in the sixth but received stub borh resistance from his opponent. McTigue with his 35 years tumblins heavily about his shoulders crumpl. cd under a heavy aaaault in the seventh and continued to stagger in the next round.
 McTigue enjoyed a brief rally in the ninth but wax unable to match the speed of his younger foeman. Lomski forced McTiEue to retreat tefore a hard listed lombard ment in the tenth. Lomski weighed l7oi2 pounds. McTisue 113is.
 A crowd of 1e,0o0 paid S4o.15S 10 see the fight.

PLAY GAME TODAY
New Britain High Basketball Qslin- tct Meets Collegiate Prep of New Haven This Afternoon.

An attempt will be made by the New Britain High school basketball team to better its 800 mark for the season when it takes on the Collegi- ate Preparatory school team of New Haven at the school gymnasium on Franklin square this afternoon at 5 o'clock.

 Collegiate Prep suffered its first defeat against Roxbury Preparatory school Thursday and now that the winning streak of 10 games is brok- en the incentive which has moved the Elm City team onward will be gone to a great extent. Sam Pite. former Yale star and a member of the New Haven Atlas, is the teams coach.
 The Collegiate team played again last night and scored its 11th victory over the Sterling team of the New Haven Boys club.

ECCENTRICITlES OF
 POPULAR ATHLETES
Involuntary Atton Anust R,ns
 Watching on SNdils

Athletes are the most eccentric peopie in the world when 1t comes down to tho matter of winning games Practically every one of them has . secret little trick they prac. tice before and during the game. Members of the teams in New Brit ain bear this point out we'll. A list of well known athletes and their favorite whims h as follows:
 Jimmy" Zakxewski of tho All New Britain basketball team will never 90 on the floor until he has a toothpick firmly entrended between his teeth.
 Johnny Sheehan will fight, If nec- essary. to be the second man in line when his team goes onto the floor before a basketball game.
 Ruby Rubenstein will not play a game without knee guards. although they are thing of the past.
 Jimmy" Murphy of the Stanley Works team will always pull up his pants after a basket has been scored by a teammate.
 "Al"-Havlick and "Red" Matulis of the Tafair team always wear the number on their jersey in the front.
 Joe Adams. formerly of the South church five. always persisted in wearing a teammates belt.
 Wilton Mercy takes the floor with rabbit foot hid on his person.
 Ray Hoist plays a poor game un- til tho third personal is called on him. The minute tho third foul is recorded his playing changes en- tirely.
 "Red" Matulis keeps up a con- tinual mutterins to himself through out the game.
 Al sloman finds the going hard until he cages hts first basket.
 Joe Jasper always wears a pair of orange stockings while playing baseball.
 "YisEs" Patrus will never bat with any bat except a black one.
 "Huggy" Carlson walks around in . small circle before pitching the next bell.
 Johnny Tobin stuffa his mouth with grass while his team is on the field.
 Charlie Miller spits every time his team gets into a tight hole dur ing baseball game.
 Dick Dillon always looks for a piece of gum before officiating at A basketball game.
 Frank McGrath keeps up a con- tinual chatter with his opponent during a football game.
 Ray Hoist will koiler Ego in" at the ball when the game is close.
 Mert Taylor will never smile i.fter caging & basket for fear Of spelling his luck.
 "Si' Budnick, captain of the Falcons. will never let the bat boy put any bats In the bag unti. the last "out" has been made.

Speaking of Sports

The New Haven Atlas last night barely stavcd off defeat at the hand, or the Meriden Endees in a lea9ue game in the Elm City. The Silver C1ty aggregation staged . spirited rally In the second half to end fouz points short of a tie. The Atlaa team led at the end of the first halt by the score of IT to g.
 A recapitulation of the foul shoot Ing by the individual members of the New Britain team shows that every member of the squad is badly In need of practicing>in in whirling in points from the free throw line.
 Totaling up for the 10 games d. ready played we find the following statistics in this respect: Eloman scored 50 foul points out of s4 shots. Rubenstein cased 24 out of 60. Zak- sewski counted s1 out of 65. shee- han made six out of IS. Leary caged a6 out of 4s. sturm scored out of 2s. Kilduff made one out of s. Hoist made two out of nine while Dessinger score one out of two.
 This Is a glaring weakness on the local team and one that should be corrected without delay. So many misses per bame means only a fair average of victories. At least, the players should be able to score Let ter than 50 per cent of their foul shots and practice will enable them to do this.
 The team Is as good as most Of them in the league in getting points from the dpor. TheSe scores aided by a number of foul points. would give New Britain a commanding edge over all opposition and we think that stress should be laid on the foul shooting department.
 Tho Bristol Roller Hockey club made . disastrous beginning last night when it invaded Hartford for its first game under the Bell Towns colors. However, the old saying is "First winners. last losers" and this may work out in the case of the Bristol club.
 New Britain was beaten Tn Meri- den in fierce battle. A last per- iod rush of the local club almost up- set to 2 lead secured by the Maroons in the first two sessions but the final whistle left New Britain one point short of a tie score.
 The Hardware City quintet will have & chance for revenge on Meri- den tomorrow afternoon when the Maroons visit the Stanley Arena in a return game. New Britain is trail- ing Meriden for first place by only two games.

to reach the top OF the wall. They
then let themselves to the ground
