PRACTICE RAINED OUT
For the First Time in Two Success. siye Years Red Sox Are Kept Idle by Wet Weather.

Boston, Feb. cs CP-For the first time in two successive years of spring training in St. Petersburg, Fla, the Boston Braves have been rained out of practice. Jack Slat- tery first decreed postponement which later he was forced to make a cancellation for the day. The Braves new manager had long talk with Dick Burrus in the course of which he assured the star that first base was his without competi- tion. Burrus promised Slattery he would give the club his best.
 Rain yesterday at the Red Sox camp at Bradenton interfered to such an extent that the athletes got little benefit from their work. Loepp. outfeld recruit. slapped out two line drives off Wilson's pitching before the Sox called it day. The young ster is comparatively small but he seems 10 have pep and can step around the bases in 9 way that makes him look like promising ma terial.

New Britain Quintet to Play New
 Haven at Local Gym

Lineup for New Britain-New Haven Hillhouse Triangular league game at the High school gymnasium tomorrow afternoon at o'clock: N. B. H. S. N. H. H. S. Zaleski ....... Arotsky Right Forward
 krasjewski ................ Pitch Left Forward
 Saunders ................ Gildea l Center
 SOWkd OeAHSellS
 Right Guard
 LanQlnO GAck Left Guard | Substitutes: Reckert and Reid, New Britain: Roden, Thompson, New Haven.
 Determined to gain revenge for it's defeat by New Haven Hillhouse in the Elm City a few weeks ago. the New Britain High school basket ball team has been going through daily drills under the direction of Coach George NJ. Cassidy. A vic- tory for the New Haven team will give it the Triangular league cham pionship.
 If the Hardware City five is suc- cessful in winning from its Elm City opponents. it will have 0 chance for a tie with New Haven provided that team is defeated by Hartford Sat- urday and New Britain can defeat Hartford in their meeting on March 16 in the Stanley Arena. New Brit ain High school has not won Tri- angular game this year. It lost both game in football and the first two of the home and home games in basketball. Chances of winning the first tri-games at the expense of ball are great since New Britain will be playing on its home floor.
 The Red & Gold team has not lost two games in basketball to New Haven for several years back. The Elm City outfit has been taken twice on a few occasions and has won it's home game on several occasions, but it has not succeeded in winning 'very often on New Britain's floor. This is year for New Haven to break the New Britain jinx.
 New Haven defeated New Britain 33 to 26 in New Haven in the first meeting of the two in basketball this season.
 The team that will probably take the floor is Alex Zaleski and Henry Krasjewski. forwards: Fred saun- ders, center: and Eddie Sowka and Louis Landino, guards.
 Because of the constant shifting one of the teams best scorers. Ed die Sowka. Is forced to stay in the back court. This shifting has been in effect for the past four games.
 Occasionally alumni players who formerly carried the colors of the Red and Gold team stop in to watch the players at practice. They com ment on the speed and cleverness of the players.
 If the team can muster up de- fense that will hold Pitch and Gill dea, the game is won.

Mems League Standing

An opportunity will be afforded Landers and Fafnir teams in tho Y. NJ. c. A. Industrial Basketball league to advance to within half game of the Stanley Works in second place and to within a game of Corbin Screw team which is in first place in the two mems game at the Stanley arena tonight. Opponents for the night are Stanley Rule and Corbin Cabinet Lock quintets.
 The opening contest of the eve- ming will see Landers and New Brit ain Machine girls in one of the few girls games left for the season.
 Although Stanley Rule and Corbin Cabinet Lock teams have been beat en in former contests with their op- ponents of tonight. they have been playing a better brand of basketball in the last few games, and have been beaten only by spurts at the finish.
 Girls Game
 Landers girls are anxious to clean up" at the expense of the New Brit ain Machine five before the game with Stanley Rule next week. The race for the girls title lies between Stanley Rule and Landers with the P. & F. Corbin team having an out side chance. The only losses chalked up against the three leaders have been by one of the other two. None of the three tail-end teams have been successful in putting victory over on Landers, Rulers. or P. & F. Corbins.
 After tonight's game Landers has two games to play, one with the Rule Shop a week from tonight and a play-off of tie in the opening game of the season. If Landers loses to- night there will be a tie between the Universals and Rulers which will probably be decided in the two games with Landers.
 The Rule Shop team plays r. X F. Corbins Saturday. Should the P. & r. and I.anders teams defeat the Rule Shop there is a great possibility that the play-off game may not be necessary.
 Landers girls will lineup with the same team that carried it to seven straight victories this year. It fol- lows: Jacobs. center: Sartinsky and Terwilliger, forwards; Drayer and Lynch, guards: New Britain Machine will have Sinkiewicz. center: Musso and Nappi. forwards: F. Kendzior and s. Kendzior. guards.
 First Mems Game
 Stanley Rule will go on the floor with the following lineup: Walthers, center: Bengtson and Morin, for wards; Murphy and Corazzo. guards. Landens will probably start the fol- lowing lineup: Kaminsky, center: Bucheri, F. Marsali. and L. Marsali. forwards; Preisser, Nester, and Litke, guards.
 Fafntr-O Oorbin Cabinet Fanirs will start with the usual lineup: Gierochowski. center; LaHar and Havlick, forwards: Matulis, Wilson. and Beloin. guards. The probable lineup for Corbin Cabinet Lock will be O'Toole, center; Walth- CTS and Yankaskas. forwards: Lar son and Ostroski, guards. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS FOR BEST RESULTS

TAYLOR ID MEET
 LARRIVIER FRIDAY
Winner of Bout Nay Enter
 National Title Tournament

Two amateur boxers, recognized as the leading welterweights of the state, will clash in the feature bout of the Mohawk A. c. amateur tour nament at the Tabs Aall Friday night when Billy Taylor of Hartford. winner over Johnny Clinch of this city last Friday night, and Leo Larrivier of Waterbury. clash over the three-round route.
 Not since amateur fighting gained its present popularity in this city has there been such great interest shown in any bout as there> is in the coming clash in the 147 pound class. Both boys will be ready and fit for a gruelling battle and the dopesters are hard put to 1t to pick a winner.
 Neither boy has lost fight in the welterweight class. Larrivier has several defeats chalked up against him but these came when he was fighting as lightweight. Since en- tering the heavier class, he has waded through all opposition with out losing a single battle.
 Both are clever boxers and al- though Larrivier Is thought to be the stiffer puncher. Taylor has a wallop that does damage every time that it lands. In this city among many of the followers of the anna teur fight game, Larrivier stands the favorite but no one takes it upon himself to predict that the Franco American battler will win. Taylor barely beat Johnny Clinch in last weeks bout and many are judging his chances with Larrivier on this showing.
 The winner will probably be the representative of this state at the national title championship tourna- ment to be held in Boston in April Although the battle Is not officially one for the welterweight title of the state, it is recognized everywhere as the one fight that will decide su- premacy in the 147 pound class
 Dan Murphy of Waterbury whose nonchalant manner in the ring while he was paving the way for a knock out victory last Friday, will make a return appearance in this city against Lou Carmell of Holyoke in one of the semi-final bouts. They will fight in the 170 pound class.
 Joe Truex of Holyoke will meet Weaver Squires of Waterbury in the 160 pound class. This should be a real slugging bee. Erny Langelier of Holyoke. 145 pounds, is down to meet Ray Dolin of Waterbury. Gerald Emard of Holyoke, will battle Joe Dignal of Waterbury in the 135 pound class. This should be one of the features of the card.
 Phil Desavitch of Hartford, will be matched with Joe Adams of Wa terbury in the 13S pound class Jackie Haron of Waterbury will battle Del Poulet of thi scity in the 114 pound class. Entries have also been received from Dominick Frisco of this city and Ray Taylor of Terryville.
 Owing to the interest in the tour. nament both here and in Hartford tickets were placed on sale yester- day. There are only limited num- Der of reserved seaats and fans are reminded that these will be taken immediately.

PLAY PRACTICE GAME
 AT TRAINING SESSION
Two Teams Picked Up Among Squad of Giants Working Out at Hot
 Springs

New York. Feb. 2s LPAThe New York Giants have made their final stand for this year at Hot Springs, Ark, by playing a 2-all six inning ball game. The training scent moved today to Augusta. Ga.
 The Giants collected two make- shift squads yesterday out of the bat terymen and another odd lot of players. Manager McGraw served as umpire. One side took the name Gold Waters" with Fitzsimmons on the mound. Before the game ended he was pitching for the op- position, known as the Hot Wa ters." Art Johnson, q left handler, made the seasons first home run. Pitcher Waite Hoyt. the Yankee holdout. failed to come to terms in negotiations between Hot Springs and Business Manager Ed Barrow of New York. Hoyt said he would stay another week at Hot Springs and then return to New York.
 Florida rains impeded the work outs Of the Yankees and Robins at St. Petersburg and Clearwater re- spectively. Twenty-three players turned out for practice at the Tanks camp before the downpour of rain. Babe Ruth disappointed many of his admirers by playing golf instead of donning q uniform.
 Dazzy Vance appeared in playinp
 togs with the Robins at t.x,r~a,cl although he has not signed his 1928
 contract. Bill Doak, the veteran spit ball hurler. received quite a bit
 of attention on his arrival at the
 Brooklyn quarters.

DODGE QUINTET
 SWAMPS NASHES
Losers Unable to Match Speed Of
 Winning Combination
League Standing

Unable to match the speed and team work of the Dodge quintet in the Automobile Roller Hockey leagu last night, the Nash team was showed under after the first period in the preliminary game to the Hart ford-New Britain contest at the Stanley Arena by the score of to 1. With Eddie McAloon. Jr.. and Fusari pairing up at the rush posi- tions. Charlie McAloon backing them up at center and Dick Hyland and Herbie Sautter taking care of the defense. the Dodge five worked nearly perfect during the three pe- riods.
 The first session was a closely fought one ending with the Dodge in the lead two to one. This how ever. proved to be the best frame for the losing team. Three straight goals in the second frame and two more in the third and last brought the score of the winners up to seven for the nights total.
 A great part of the Dodge victory must be attributed to the female an- vii chorus for the moral support given the team. On the east side bleachers, all members of the Me Aloon. fully Is women kept up a rapid fire line of cheering that-.cer- tainly must have inspired the play CTS on the Dodge team. Such en- thusiasm has not been seen or heard in years in this city.
 Hall did the best work for the Nash five. He played an excellent game on the offense but the Dodge defense was too much for him. The n

0. X. WITH JAPAN
Toxic Delegates at Geneva
Decline to Discuss Accord.
Disarmament Talked.

GENEVA, September lit was re-
ported here today that japan deems the
Franco British tentative naval accord
acceptable as basis for future dis
armament discussions by the League Of
Nations Preparatory Disarmament Com
mission.
The Japanese delegation declined to
talk on the subject due, II appeared, to
.he fact that the replies of Japan, the
United States and Italy, to whom the
accord was submitted for study, have
not reached France and England.
Disarmament Discussed.
Disarmament. again urged by Russia
in its acceptance of the Kellogg BRAND
peace treaty, has become the dominant
subject in Geneva discussions. Various
delegates have voiced the opinion that
unless preliminary agreement Is at
tanned among the five great naval
powers concerning limitation Of war
ships 1t would be useless to convoke
another meeting Of the Disarmament
Commission.
In Franco British circles the hope
was expressed that Japan. the United
States and Italy would reply prior TO
the session Of the disarmament COM
mittee Of the League Assembly, as the
German delegates are expected TO insist
upon an arly resumption Of disarma-
meat negotiations.
Would Exempt Small Craft.
The Franco British provisional agree
ment provided that cruisers carrying
six-inch guns and under would not be
subject to limitations az regards de-
fensive units. Similarly, as Joseph
Paul -Boncour, the French delegate
explained today small submarines,
torpedo boats and small aircraft carriers
would be free from limitation.
Paul -Boncour thought that by limit
ing powerful cruisers the Washington
treaty would be extended and some
thing tangible he achieved TO arrest the
naval race Of the great powers,
He said that If the essential points Of
The Franco British accord materialize
into a substantial agreement there was
no reason why the Disarmament Com
mission could not be conVoked by
