The Silver City quintet, always one
of the leading court combinations in
the state, is formidable machine
this year. Possessed with the keen
desire to capture state honors this
season, Manager Jack Curry has
gathered what is considered to be
the strongest team ever to wear the
Meriden Endee colors.
Curry has three forwards. all of
them crack men in their position.
Billy Cook is a veteran of many a
campaign with the Endees. Griffin
is another who showed plenty of
stuff last Saturday night. Jack

turn Of Restelli to major basketball

serves and this will probably con-
stitute the squad for the remainder
of the season.

only be a holiday attraction but it
will be a blue banner game, Rivalry
between New Britain and Meriden

basketball and there should be

Boys CLUB wins
IN ONE QUARTER
Gotta and Grusha Star-Re-
serves Start Too Late

One big period was enough to win
for the Boys club last night. giving
the local quintet 26-17 victory
over the Speedboys OF New Haven
after a wretched start. Trailing at
6-1 at the end of the first period,
the club fought back to within one
point. at 1919 by the close OF the
half, and in the third period the
New Britain quintet launched
driving attack which scored II
points while the visitors were being
held scoreless. Mainly responsible for
this savage offense and for the VIC
tory were Joe Gotta and Walter
Grusha. Gotta. as he had done the
week before, was high scorer with
five field goals, while Gusha, in ad-
dition to getting six points, proved
himslf a stalwart guard and time
and again broke up Speedboy at
lacks by agile work and sure grasp
upon the ball.
Arida. New Haven forward. took
the ball away from Gotta and drlb-
bled in for the first score and the
visitors soon had 60 lead. Grusha
made the clubs first point with only
10 seconds of the quarter to 60. A
jumping foliow-up of long shot
gave Kerelejza New Britain's first
basket, and the locals managed to
tie the score at SIS, only to have the
Speedboys slip out in front again at
the half. Then came the crushing
third quarter. when Compagnone put
the home team ahead. Gotta came
charging through for three baskets
in succession, and Grusha added
three points for a 2O-10 score. The
last period found the visitors taking
all manner of desperate shots and
making some of them good.
The clubs attack lacked a real
scoring punch except when Gotta
came roaring through. and it ap-
pears that the team must build its
offensive around him. He and
Grusha last night seemed to have
overcome their foul-comrnitting ten
denotes which had led to disqualifi-
cation the previous week, and Gotta
went through the game without a
personal. Coptain Compagnone was
again scoring threat, but kerelejza
and Schmarr were too anxious and
blew several shots. The work OF
Rafter, visiting center, was fea-
ture. The summary:

Tonight's games should easily be

Every team in the league which
is given even an outside chance to
win the championship will be in
in action tonight in the first two
games. The only possible excep-
ton. the experts say. is the Stanley
Works team.
Before the season opened, Dusty

F. Corbins and Fafnir Bearing were

Reserves Beaten
The Boys Club Reserves started
too late and lost to the Phantom
Reserves by 2o-l9. The first half
was slow. one-sided affair, with the
winners getting the upper hand at
9-3. This advantage was maintained
into the last period, when the Phan-
toms were in front at 1915. Then
the club team came suddenly to life
and with Rametta and Bancovich
leading the way. battered its way up
to tie score and, after Truman had
put one in from past mid floor, to
tie again and take the lead at 1916.
Here George Baylock. who had just
gone into the game, took a hand. He
sank one basket to deadlock the
count and second to win the game
for his team, and Zentrrowski made
good only one OF the two free tries
awarded him just at the whistle. 1t
was wild and exciting finish. The

The Inconsistencies of Politics

While many OF the Southern democratic papers are
attacking Governor Smiths stand upon the liquor
question, maintaining that he is an avowed wet, the
New York Herald, republican, is attacking his record
upon the grounds that he is not sufficiently vet. Ac-
cording to the New York publication the one avenue to
repeal Of the prohibition amendment is through a re-
publican victory in November.
Many OF the leading papers Of the Northwest are
attacking Hoover upon the failure Of the republican
convention to endorse the equalization fee feature Of
the McNary-Haugen bill, and several Of the Eastern
dailies are vigorously criticizing the republican stan
dard bearer because the platform did not specifically
mention the equalization fee as contrary to republican
principles. Some Of the Eastern papers are also init
mating that Hoover is too dry and Smith not quite wet
enough.
These are inconsistencies which may be expected to
crop out in connection with a national campaign.
Party leaders in each state are endeavoring to align
their respective national leaders with sectional senti-
ment, and making e dismal failure Of the effort. Hoo
yer and other republican leaders are deftly avoiding
prohibition and farm relief and seek to make national
prosperity the issue; while the democrats are soft
pedaling" on prohibition and voicing vigorous protests
against corruption.
As a matter Of fact, upon the issues which the
American public believe are paramount but which the
political leaders refuse to recognize as issues, there is
practically no choice between the parties. The re-
publican platform endorsed enforcement, as it did four
and eight years ago, and the brand Of enforcement"
is fairly well known. It is herdly probable that any
opponent Of prohibition could have made a greater
farce Of the prohibition amendment.
For four months the American public will be sup
piled their daily grist OF charges and countercharges
from the campaign organizations Of both major parties.
Most Of these, when analysed, are exposed as a mere
tumble Of words calculated to keep the reader thereof
in dense ignorance as to what IL i Il al about. How
ever, the voters have before them the records Of the
major PARIS and their respective standard bearers. and
these records cannot be camouflaged BY the political
publicity agents.
