Tho I.cuinc Game

II was a tired team which took the floor in the evening to represent Hartford county, but it fought hard and actually led for more than half Of the contest. Parker and Bell sent New Britain into an S-3 lead in the first quarter and it was still ahead by 12-9 at half-time, despite the play Of the 2oo-pound Gallup. In the third period Dartt siX-foot slX-inch center went in for Woodstock, and he and Gallup turned their size to advantage on follow-ups and their team shortly took the lead. In the final period the locals were exhaust = cd and could not cut for the basket, while when they did get their they were too tired to shoot accurately. The Collegians are the same team which put New Britain out Of the state tournament in the semi final round last year.
 The giant Gallup was the star of the game, his size making him un- checka ble when combined with the ability he displayed. Anderson and Dartt also went well in the second half. Bell, Mercy. and Parker led the New Britain attack. The game. while not marred by any dirty playing, was rendered rough by the disparity of size between the teams and the charging style Of play used by the heavy winners The summary:

Winter Haven. Fla, March 1a-- The Philadelphia. National league
 baseball club offers the annual chance 10 it's manager to win what the fancy writers call "undying famc.' At least the new pilot, Nr
 Burton F. Shotten, can gain a lot of
 favorable publicity. and all by the
 simple" task of getting this team l up from the baseball depths in which if so long has been mirth. Just how simple q task this is can 1 managers who have preceded Burt Shotten during the past decade. It 1 has been quite q procession, most of the bosses lasting only one year. and this spring, with conditions being much the same as they have been in the past, Shotten will have quite q task on his hands.
 To call the Phillies' chances
 bright this spring would be over stating the matter, but from the way the team is hustling in it's training camp and with several prospects in the fold. Burt may be the man to get the Phils out of the ruck.
 There are two newcomers with
 tho Phils who look the part of
 good big league ball players. Both are in'ielders and will do wonders for that department if they deliver. William Fl. Kelly a strapping first bascman obtained from a Class A
 minor circuit. is going 10 play that bag when inc season gets under way. as Russell Wrightstone has been moved to the outtield. Kelly stands ( feet 3 inches, weighs 19o pounds and was homc-run hitter in the minors
 The other inGclder of promise Is Whitney. late Of the New orleans club and a third baspInan, Sbott"n points him ont with pride to all | correspondents visiting the camp. Heinic sand will be back at short and in Frosco Thompson tho P|1ils arc well equipped at second base. Thompson is ono Of the best l;oy- , stone men in tho lcacno. can hit and has developed rapidly since he has been up.
 "Wrightstone is an outGcldcr,"
 says shotou. "anl there is where l he will play" Wrigh'ston" is q /, good ball player. q timely hitter and i should have another gocd year to l judge by his early condition. Big l CN Williams and Fred Leach will i play center and right field. Both are good hiitcrs and can hardly be
 pushed out O. the regular lineup. l although Holman and spanding arc
 working hard for berth. Al Nixon l again will be in reserve.
 1 Fourteen pitchers are with he
 club. Frank Ilrich, who has been /, in Hal'imor" hospital. is expected to join the squad soon.
 | Jimmy Ring, returned in trade with St. Louis. Clarence Mitchell | IEub rruct, Art Decatur, Alex Fer
 2llson and Bob McGraw look like l irst-sring men. Ray Bengc, who i formerly had a chance in the Amcr- can league with Cleveland, is the ! brightest prospect of the newcomers i Other pitchers in camp working 1 for q position arc Ed I;decht. June 1 Green. Russell Miller. Les Sweet i land. Ed Taber. Auggie Walsh and i Claude Willoughby.
