HIGH TEAM BOWS
 TO CAPITAL CITY
Hartford Quintet Shows Superi.
 ority Over Locals in Game

Success in athletics at the New Britain high school begins to appear dubious following the second athle- tic defeat of the season from Hart ford public high school in the bas- ketball game in Hartford last night. Hartford outplayed and outfoxed the Hardware City at every point during the game and won an easy victory by S5 to F score.
 Although the score looks large. 1t does not indicate in any way how much better the Hartford team was in their first basketball meeting of the year. At times during the game, a Capital City player would dash in, take the ball out of the hands of the New Britain player. dribble in and score.
 The Hardware City team was handicapped to a great extent by the absence of Henry Kraszewski, regu- lar forward, who was declared in- eligible by the faeulty. Coach Cas- sdy had to shift Landino from guard to forward and put Scully, first ubstitute in at guard. Later when the team was not going so we'll, Scully was shifted to center. Saunders to forward and Landino to guard.
 Many of the alumni members who followed the team to Hartford yes terday asked themselves the ques- ton Where Is the old fighting Red and Gold spirit we have often heard quoted but haven't seen for some time?" It was gone. The team took its defeat and instead of digging its toes into the floor and playing harder. it played worse.
 Hartford ran up a to o lead and held New Britain scoreiess for the first seven minutes of the game. The Red and Gold team tied the score but then Hartford went on a ram page that gave it :3 to lead at half time. Tn the second half the Hardware City team showed no more improvement and Hartford finished the game with substitutes. It was Hartford's first victory in three starts and it was New Britain's second successive defeat.
 Yesterdays game was the last for Scully. and for Zehrer. and Hewett. It was also Giraitis' last game. Giraitis and Mallinowski were Hart ford's stars on the offense and Dolan was the defense star.

SHELLY RETURNS TO THE MINORS
Entered Majors When Gambling 1 Wrecked White SoY

Chicago. Jan. q (UP)-Earl Sheely. the last member of the minor league infield which suddenly found itself a major league outfit when gambling wrecked the Chi cago White Box in 1920 has gone back to tho minors and Charley Comiskey knows now that you can't manufacture a pig league inffell. Sheely was released outright to the Sacramento club of the Pacific Coast League yesterday. His pass ing marked the end of Comiskeyt dream to lift an infield out of the league ball. When the Back Sox" expose forced Comiskey to drop Chick Gandil. Swede Risterg and Buck Weaver. from his lineup, rather than bring an assortment of ball players to try for the positions, he decided to bring three boys up who were accustomed to playing to- sether.
 So he paid the Salt Lake club GtS.Voo iuI EsHScly, JIi IAc 1OHtlcOIl and Eddie Mulligan. Mulligan soon proved to Comtskey that the plan would't work. So Eddie was let out. Johnson. as game a ball player as ever walked, hampered by i'll health, was kept a couple of seasons and then drifted on.
 Sheely. a great natural ball. player was ruined by prank of fate. Early in his career he broke an ankle and never recovered his speed.
 He was sold. but there have been few first basemen who could take bad throws from infielders as he could. A great hitter. his only draw back was his slowness of foot.
 Four years ago. the club wanted him to have the ankle re-broken and reset. He was afraid to talk. the chance. preferring to stick around as long as he could by req. son of his swatting ability.
 The end came this year when Bud Clancy came up from the minors
 He hit them as hard as Sheely and
 was fast
 So Earl Shce1y moves along anc
 with him 60 the last remnants o1
 Comiskey's idea of manufacturing :

NEW BRITAIN TO BATTLE
 MERIDEN ENDEES TONIGHT
Hardware City Basketball Quintet Ready for Tough Game at Stanley Arena-First Contest of Second Round of Schedule-Hope to Dispea "lndian Sign" Tonight Visitors Possess Powerful Combination First Place Battle in Girls League

Tonight at the Stanley arena, the Meriden Endees and the New Britain basketball teams will open up the second round of the Connecticut State Basketball league. The two quintets are bitter rivals and this feeling has been intensified because of two defeats administered to New Britain by the Silver City club dur ing the first half of the season.
 New Britain, after being in a three game slump, returned to form last Saturday night to defeat the Mo- hawks of Holyoke and the team is anxious to win tonight in order that they might dispel the psychological bugaboo known as the Indian sign which Meriden has apparently held over the locals for the past two sea sons
 Meriden has a strong comblna- ton even with its weakest lineup in athe game and though doubt has been cast on whether Jerry Conway, star center will be with the quintet here tonight, his presence in the lineup will make the visiting team doubly strong. The entire squad is com- posed Of some of the best basketball talent in the Silver City and many of them will be given the opportuni- ty to display their wares here to- night.
 New Britain will probably start Sloman and Rubenstein in at the forward positions and Zakzewski at center while the choice for guards rests among Sheehan, Leary and Sturm. This combination started off last Saturday night and made the game with Holyoke runaway affair.
 Manager Clarence Lanpher has re- tained the squad of nine men he used last week and in an emergen- cy the local five will be fortified with plenty of substitutes. Many of them may get Q chance to play to- night.
 Preliminary Game
 The P. & r. Corbin and Landers' girls teams will battle in the pre- flminary game for first place. A vic- tory for the Corbin outfit will place the team in tie with the uni- yersals. Corbins has lost only one game during the present season and this, incidentally was to Landers. Since that time, the Corbin team has met and defeated all opposition. The universals are unbeaten so far and the prospects are for a hard fight tonight. The first game will start at o'clock with the main contest getting under way at about 3 o'clock.

American public is that rather than
leave this vital subject to the discre-
tion of the judge sitting in equity,
the national congress should build
limitations around the powers which
may be exercised by equity courts in
such a manner that the rights Of all
of the people may be protected, and
not only protect it's rights Of one
class and make it impossible for
another class to protect its rights.
Great Britain has after a great
deal of experience fixed the basic rules
of jurisdiction for equity courts. In
our country there is nothing of the
sort; we are apparently guided by
nothing but the judges discretion,
and this is true in a great many in
dustrial disputes where Judge sit
ting in equity does and is free to do
anything he sees fit to do, or as he
feels the occasion demands. We who
are taught that we have a govern
ment by law awake to find that we
are not governed by law but by Judge
made discretion; that our rights to
those privileges guaranteed by the
constitution of our country have been

ing them the right to maintain their
organizations-let me suggest that
the national congress would soon find
that necessary and essential right
was being taken from them, and very
quickly find way to restore these
rights. That is what the American
Federation of Labor is endeavoring to
do, to restore those essential rights
to the working people by restraining
equity courts from issuing writs Of
injunction such as have been issued
in the past, to the end that we may
feel safe in exercising the rights to
strike, the rights to free speech, and
the right to trial by jury.
Very respectfully yours,
STANLEY OGG,
Secretary Hamilton Trades and Labor
Council.

and we are restrained from doing
those things that we feel are essen
