Completely outplayed by much
superior team, the New Britain
girls basketball team was smother
ed Saturday night in the prelimin-
airy game at the Stanley Arena by
the state championship Insilcos of
Meriden by the score OF IS to 2. Tho
local girls failed to register a field
goal during the night while the
Meriden team ran riot OH the floor.

ed desperately but the competition
against it was too good and too ex-
perienced. New Britain stacked up
aginst what is considered to be the
best girls basketball team IN the
state and the local players need feel
no disbursement because of the
size Of the score. Until some easier
competition can be found, the local
girls are bound to be outplayed for
some time to come.
X. Brys, Meriden captain. was the
star of her team. She Gagged seven
field goals and a foul point for 4
total Of IS counters while d. Gus
tafson. a guard, scored five baskets
from the floor for total OF Is
points. Sartinsky, Oslow and HUI
dak played nicely for the home
team. The summary:
New Britain herald., 1928-11-26

Displaying superior team work,
better passing and more accurate
shooting. the New Britain basketball
team downed the Arcola Bears, Bay
onne, N. j., at the Stanley Arena
Saturday night in the second victory
Of the season for the Hardware City
quintet. The visitors came to this
city heralded as one of the best pro-
fessional basketball teams in New
Jersey but the attack of the Locals
was too much for them, Starting
with the first basket scored by Zak-
xewski in the first 20 seconds of
play. the visitors trailed all through.
New Britain through its superior
team work, led at half time by five
point margin, the score being 20 to
Is. and this was increased four
points to 80 to 30 at the finish.
The regular combination of Slo-
man. McElwain. Zakzewski, Sheehan
and Leary again romped through
to an early lead and proved itself
better even than last Saturday night
when it worked together for the
first time The reserves were sent
In near the finish of the game and
they held the visiting aggregation
safely until the final whistle.
The Bayonne team apparently
possesses the same idea of this city
AZ many other visiting teamsl do.
Saturday night. the New Jersey
quintet was needlessly rough and
when the local players returned
some of their own medicine they
didn't like 1t. The visitors were
adept as pushing. tripping and stick
ing their elbows In tender spots but
of all the bruises suffered during the
contest Bayonne received as many
In numbers as New Britain did.
The visiting quintet also appeared
on the floor with a five-man team.
This required the waving of the
four personal four rule. Had this
been in force, three of the Bears
would have been waved away while
two New Britainites would have
been banished.
Zakzewski again proved to be the
scoring machine of the home club.
He scored total Of IS points during
the night including eight field goals
and two foul shots. 1t was through
the excellent pass work of McElwain
and Sloman, however, that the
husky New Britain center kept up
his good work. Sheehan and Leary
kept their men popping from a dis
lance. The two opposing forwards
got seven and five points respective
~ while the guards. Schiller and
Hecker both contributed II points to
their teams total.
McElwain and Sloman again
showed their dust to the opposition.
This pair should work in to be one
Of the fastest and shiftiest forward
combinations in the business. Both
outplayed their guards and kept up
good pass work. The entire COM
bination passed fast and furiously
all through the game. Warned that
the Bears would show added speed
In the second half, the locals revers-
ed the story and showed plenty of
speed in the closing session.

BY TOM CREADON

NEWBURY GRANQSTAND, Eng
land, Jan. 26.-Billy Barton, Mary
land entry for the classic Grand
National Steeplechase, won the Win
chester handicap of three miles to-
day in a sensational British debut
that provided one of the best per-
formances of jumping witnessed
in years.
Running against twelve horses, all
but two of which are Grand Ma
tional entries, Howard Bruce's great
jumper ran away from his field. fin
ishing six lengths in front .ot the
favorite, j. A. Fairhurst's Eagle Tail,
who was six lengths against Henri
! Deterding's Rathowen, another
Grand National horse.
Billy Bartons betting price was
1908 against and Rathowen's was
81 against. Eagles Tail started at
81 against.
Morgan in Saddle
Billy Barton was ridden by Tom
| my Morgan, one of the leading
cross country riders. Billy Bartons
surprising victory has upset all
Grand National calculations.
Billy Barton seemed to like the
heavy track He lined up with the
other entries. stood still and at ease
for a few minutes and at the drop
of the starters flag, was off like a
shot.
The American horse took the lead
at once. Morgan put him straight
at the first. fence Billy Barton
cleared it magnifcentfy. He did not
touch twig.
Puzzled for Moment
Billy Barton kept in the lead. At
the first open ditch he pricked his
ears at the strange obstacle, but
negotiated it oIeveTly. Passing the
stands for the first time Billy Bar
ton moved splendidly, a length or
two ahead of his nearest rival.
Never approached during the second
circuit, Billy Barton won easily.
Jockey Morgan said:
BILLY Barton is 8 fine, natural
jumper He stays we'll. He never
put foot wrong during the entire
race.
IT consider him the right horse
to win the Grand National"
Billy Barton carried 1856 pounds in
today's race, Eagles Tail 155 and
Rathowen 100. Racing men, dis
cussing Billy Barton's victory
pointed out shat he carried five
pounds more than he is allotted in
the Grand Natioal.
