MERDEN MDEES TO MEET
 LOCALS IN LEAGUE GAME
One of Crucial Contests of Year Scheduled Tomorrow Nisht-New Britain Hopes to Dispel Indian Sign" Nothing Definite Announced About Jerry Con- way-Visitors Have Two Wins Over Lanphermen -First Place Battle Scheduled in Girls League.

New Britain and Meriden will again clash in sports tomorrow night at the Stanley Arena when the state league basketball teams meet ip the first game of the second round start ed this week. Tomorrow nights game Is considered to be one of the crucial games of the year for tho Hardware City crew as it will prove if the Hardware City quintet is able to throw off the Indian Sign" that the Silver City crew has held over 1t for two successive years. Meriden will present an excep- tfonally strong lineup in the game tomorrow night Nothing definite has been announced yet regarding the chances of Jerry Conway, star from Holyoke. playing with the team. Jerry has signed as . mem Der of Vic Hanson's Syracuse Pro- fessional team but he may be on deck with Meriden tomorrow night. If he is. Meriden's attack will be as strong as it ever has been. If he is not with the lineup, the Meriden team will be on the short end of the betting.
 The Endees took the New Britain National Guards into camp twice last year and again this season, the Silver City team duplicated the perform ance. This years two defeats came at critical time and were especially hurtful because had New Britain won both contests, it would have been tied with Atlas of New Haven for first place because as it happen ed. the Bristol Endees defeated the New Haven team last week.
 On paper. the New Britain team appeared to be stronger both years but in actual playing, Meriden had the edge. This has led many to be- lieve in the physiological idea of an Indian sign" This might be dis pelled tomorrow night.
 Cook and Bissell will alternate with Carroll at forwards. Conway Lingner will fill another guard posi- tion. The visitors will have large squad of reserve material and sev- eral combinations may be used dur ing the game.
 Preliminary Game
 P. & r. Corbin girls will have chance to go into a tie for first place with Landers if they beat the Uni versals tomorrow night in tho pre- liminary game. After Corbins' de- feat of the Stanley Rule recently. their chances of trimming Landers tomorrow night are exceedingly bright. Landers holds the lead with four games won and none lost while P. & F. has won three and lost one. Deep interest is being shown in the game.
 The preliminary will start prompt ly at 8 o'clock with the main featWe being staged about 9 o'clock.

|S0. CHURCH AGAIN |CONQUERS TRADERS
Moyey Rum Wild in LoT-Score Glme-Rineers Win

The South Church Intermediates stayed in the Intermediate County "" league race last night when Captain Wilton Mercy went on . second period scoring spree and gave his team enough points to de- defeat the State Trade school by 1s-1t in . rather slow game at the Boys club. The winners were still without the services of the injured Rockwell. while Cohen was missing from the school lineup. and neither team played any too high brand of basketball. The church attack was able to get under way in only one quarter, while the school players missed an enormous number of easy shots.
 Not . point was made from the floor during the entire first period. the teams struggling fruitlessly to locate the hoop. tho only scores coua- ing on foul shots by Anderson and Frost. Az the second period opened Bell made . ons-pointer for New Britain and right afterwards Mercy picked up loose ball under the basket and tossed 1t through the netting to put his team ahead. He scored again on the one-two play and then made . stunning shot from beyond. the foul line while complete ly surrounded by school players. Hubbel finally scored for tho osers. but Mercy came back with three points and Bell with . goal to make the tally l2-t at the half.
 The school team rallied in the third quarter. Anderson and Pond showing the way. but the church quintet managed to keep 15-10 lead. In the final session the teams fought evenly and made two Held goals each.
 Mercy had . great night, getting 1S of hts teams 10 points. Bell shot little. contenting himself with feed ing his mate and doing this effect lively. Peck, in hiS first full game. was weak at shooting but played most creditably otherwise and show ed much promise. He and May took tho ball off the blackboard every time and prevented the school from following up its shots. Potts played hard and rushing game. Pond and Anderson featured for the Trade school. but both blew many shots. The game was very clean. The sum- mary:

BAN 0N GERMAN STAR IS LIFTED
Dr. Peltzer's Status Up t
 Amateur Athletic Union

New York. Jan. 20 R-Competi- tion by Dr. Otto Peltzer. German track star. in American meets rest ed with the Amateur Athletic Union today.
 In a cablegram from tho German athletic body to the Union, the ban previously imposed on Peltxer for bidding him to run here was lifted. It read:
 "Dr. Peltzer three starts after in- ternational and union determination approved"
 This was explained to mean that Peltzer may run in three races pro- viding permission is secured from the International Amateur Athletic federation and the amateur body of the United States.
 Inasmuch as approval is not re- quired from the international or ganization when the ruling athletic powers of the two countries con- cerned agree. the matter is now uI to the Union which Is taking a mail vote from it's foreign relations com. mittee.
 A favorable vote was expected. In the event Peltzer is permitted to run, he probably will appear in German athletic club here while his other two performances will take place in other sections of the coun- try, presumably in the middle west and on the Pacific coast. At present he is in San Francisco. Peltzer, who is holder of the worlds half mile record, is the con- queror of Paavo Nurmi. the Phan- tom Finn. and Edwin Wide of Swed- en. If the amateur officials of this country allow him to run. he will have an opportunity of matching strides with Lloyd Hahn of the Bos- ton A. A.. Americas premier middle distance runner.

 TO BEAT 1ENDlR
Two Celsfill Ashtss to xst h Gllda Ring Tonight

New York. Jan. 2o.-(UP)-Ths lstharyie velterwetsht division premises to furnish some tast and furious fisticuffs tonight whsn Ace Hudkins. the Nsbeaska Wildcat. and Lew Tender. Philadelphia veteran. meet in . scheduled l0-round bout In Madison Square Garden. Two Of the met colorful ftghters in present day ftstiaue are apt to produce some excitement in . divt- aen tn which the most important recent event vas the rsfusal ef the champion to fight because the pro- motsFs lacked . few thousand of saistng the tse.ooe guFantse. 4 frantic mob of light fans tore up . bexing riag tn Los Angeles ball park when J0e Dundee failed to appear for his bout with Acc Hudkins. The California boxing com- R,iasion suspsuded Dundee end the New York commission followed suit. but neither body could undo the wrong that had been done the game little westerner.
 Undismsyed the Nebraska Wildcat has started clawing his way back toward anothe. bout with Dundee. If he defeats Tender, hs will face Sergeant Sammy Baker who stop ped him short in hts upward climb once before. 4 victory over Baker will bring Dundee within range of the Wildcats powerful paws and there may b. . new champion. who can tell.
 Not only ready but eager to swap punches with any welterweight, Hudkins has established himself along with Tommy Loughran. Jack Delaney and Leo Lomski as one of the most popular fighters of the day with New York fight fans Once Hudkins is in ring with an opponent. something is going to happen. His tearing. rushing. lash. ing tactics are not unlike the ani- mai from which hs derives his nickname.
 For an opponent Hudkins will have . 3s-year old veteran who has been fighting 1< years and knows every trick of the trade.
 Counted as through years ago, Tender has staged an amazing comeback which has placed him back among the top-notchers of an- other division. Tho Philadelphia newsboy was 8 prominent contender for the lightweight championship in his prime. but Benny Leonard al- ways stood between him aud the lS5-pound title.
 Knocked out by Jack Zivic and outpointed by Nate Goldman, Tend Tor was regarded as through, but he came back to beat both boys and has forged steadily forward since.
 After he had packed away his gloves and trunks never to fight again. financial reverses caused Tender to unpack them and go back into the ring to earn a living.
 Hudkins is ? to l favorite be- cause New York fans cannot visualize the aged Philadelphia southpaw weathering the attack of the youngster who comes out of his corner like western tornado.
