New York, Dec u P}-One thing
about modern heavyweights is that
they never quit trying.
X. o. Christener, at Sc. kept plug
ging along and finally landed his
first engagement in Madison Square
Garden. And he used as his stepping
stone knute Hansen hearalded as the
hardest hitting heavy in the land.
Jimmy Maloney. knocked out in
quick succession two years ago by
Jack Sharkey, George Godfrey and
Tom Heeney, is back now doing
some knocking for himself His re-
cent point victory over Johnny Ris-
ko gained him a match in the Gar
hden with Con O'kelly, a clever young
Irishman. The date is December ~.
Jimmy Braddock, the New Jer-
sey SIX foothr, was having a hard
time finding worth while engage
ments last year and had to fill in
the summer at Tom Heeney's train
ing camp. Now. this Jimmy by virtue
of his victory over fluffy Griffiths is
going to have something to say about
who fights Tommy Loughran for the
lghtheavyweight title. Braddock and
Leo Lomski arc down to decide this
dispute in the Garden ring January
is.
None Of these men whose tool OF
trade is the six-o ounce glove has done
anything particularly meritorious.
Both Kisko and Hansen were rusty
from inaction and would have been
annihilated by more formidable foes.
And Griffiths whipped himself by
recklesssIy rushing in until his jaw
collided with a right which Brad
dock, a back-pedaler stuck out there
for somebody to run into.
Perhaps the most interest is at
tached to Christncr. Until he meets
Jack Sharkey in the Garden. Janu-

be buzzing about this big-fisted chin

|bURRITTS AGAIN
DEFEAT SIMSbURY
Local Basketball Quintet Is Vic.
tor by 81 to 20 Score

Desperate changes which involved
every position on the Burritt Basket
ball team worked to advantage Sat-
urday night and the team, in a
strong comeback. conquered the fast
Simsbury quintet by a 81 to 20
score. The game was preliminary to
the New Britain Holyoke contest.
i Four combinations We're used by
Manager Saunders and Coach Ar
bour. The first included Yakur
boWicz and Havlick, forwards:
Saunders. center; Arbour and OAR
row, guards. 1t played a very poor
/ type of basketball and at the end
Of the quarter it had not scored.
Simsbury, during this time, made
seven points.
Yakubowicz who did not seem to be
| finding the hoop was taken from the
game. So was barrow. Jasper went
in for Yakubowicz and Luty took
Darrow's place. The addition of the
two Joes seemed to aid the team
considerably and at half time the
score was 10-all. Jasper repeated
the feat of last Wednesday when he
| went in at the start of the second
quarter and started his team to vic
tory.
! When the second half started
Yakubowicz went in the game in
place of Havlick and Darrow again
took his place at guard. In this
frame Yakubowicz made six baskets
and with Jasper and Saunders
throwing them in with monotonous
regularity the New Britain quintet
made a runaway race of it. About
half way into the third quarter
Hank" Arbour. pivot man on the
team, was forced to leave the game
because of personal fouls. This
gave Joe Luty another chance TO
show his stuff and he proved to be
mighty good pivot man. Joe is
gradually proving to the basketball
gentry that he is as good a guard as
Ne is center.
This was the Burritt's fourth sue
cessive victory. This years team is

| McElwain, diminutive forward on
! the New Britain basketball team,
was the outstanding staA of the
game played at the Stanley Arena
| Saturday night in which the local
quintet scored its sixth consecutive
victory at the expense of the Hol-
yoke Giants. The former American
league star gave one of the snappiest
exhibitions of court generalship ever
seen in this city and, because the
contest was marred by the poor
exceptional.
Throughout the contest, Mac was
a flash on the floor. He passed like
a streak, broke up Holyoke plays
and in the summary. Gagged nine
points adding to the total of the
home club. His work against Nelson
Crowley, husky guard of the visit
ing club, was exceptional. Crowley is
rated as an excellent guard but he
! had hard work to keep up to Nc
Elwain who flashed in and out Of
the plays on the floor with excep-
tional speed.
The rest of the players on the
team had an off night in shooting,
Enough easy pops were missed to
give New Britain a 5O-point lead had
they gone through the hoop. Sloman,
with Torno literally on his back,
scored nine points but he missed
plenty of opportunities of cagins
| baskets Shechan and Leary. the two
| local guards, We're efficient enough
in their respective stations but on
! the occasions when they advanced
up the floor to attempt to score. they
failed like the forward wall did.
Jimmy Zakzewski, pitted against
the clever "Jiggs" Donoghue, had
| his hands full keeping the former
Bristol Endees star from scoring and
Donoghue was in the same position
| holding Zakzewski to a minimum of
points.
The prettiest piece of work dur
! ing the game was the spectacle of
Tom Leary holding "J<isky" Field
I
OF the contest, Feldman was logged
about the floor blocked from shoot
| ing and on the few occasions when
he did let the ball go at the hoop.
| he was so hurried that he didn't
come within mile of putting the
| ball in Leary gave one of the
greatest exhibitions of one man play
/ that has been seen in some time and
he took q great deal of the lustre
away from the brilliancy that used
| to mark every appearance of Field
man in this city.
| Both teams started off with foul
shots. New Britain got lead of 6
| to ] before Holyoke could score. A
squirt about the middle of the first
! half gave the locals an edge and
when the half ended. the count
stood Is to for the home club.
Crowley and Torno were sent
! from the game in the second half
with four personal fouls but their
substitutes played a nice game.
Gaughan of the visiting team. for

/ the outstanding star of his team.
He caused New Britain plenty of
worry with his play but Johnny

guarding game, kept him TO two
