The New Britain basketball team will not play in Waterbury Thurs day night MS was announced yester- day. Manager Clarence Lanpher stated today that because his team played the Meriden Endees last Thursday night, game between the Silver City crew and Waterbury was called off,
 Manager Jack Curry of the Meri- den Endees wanted to play the Wa terbury game Thursday night so the local pilot graciously condescended 10 postpone his date with the Brass City quintet.
 However. with the Atlas coming here Saturday night. there appears to be a method in Ianpher's mad hex By calling off Thursday nights game which would be a tough one In Waterbury. he is avoid- ing any chances of injury to the local players and the team will be well rested for a gruelling battle with the Atlas at the Stanley Arena Saturday night.
 The Atlas team swamped the Waterbury team in New Haven last night by the score of 49 to c3. The New Haven crew takes on the Bris- tol Endees in New Haven Friday night. Then the Elm City crew meets New Britain Saturday night. This is rather . tough week for the Atlas.

Last year he receiv- ed . bad knock on the head and later wrenched a leg so badly that he was forced to retire. So last night he declined to take any chances and contented himself with keeping the score.

ELKS TRAINING
AND CLAIMS HE
CAN TAKE BOUT

Tommy Elks, Arizona champion
Welterweight and popular Douglas
tighter, is in the city putting his
well known punch into condition with
the view of winning his engagement
on Thursday evening with Gene
Watson, of Los Angeles. This pair
will furnish the principal attraction
at the fight program to be offered on
Wednesday night at the Royal theater
when % rounds OF boxing are prom
lsed in the five numbers on the card.
There are three four round contests,
one six and the main event of ten
rounds, all except Watson and Leche,
the latter on the pIIl 70 meet Speed
ball Rogers, of this city.
The fights are being promoted By
Pyle and Hunnefeld who also con-
duct contests at Phoenix. The state
ment of Pyle is that Watson has
defeated Elks on two former occasions
and it is said that there are numer-
Gus fans who believe chat this is
to be the third time for the coast
man to hand the Arizona welter a
clout that will make it three defeats
for him by Watson. Both contest
ants are working out and those who
watch them say they seem to be fit
and fine for the coming scrap.
The other contestants except Leche
of Ola have been seen from time
to time in contests here and are all
regarded as clever ring performers
in their class The contests will be
between Tommy Hall and Kid Fulton,
Leche and Rogers and Jack Beaver
and Yaqui Edwards and a pair yet
to be selected. 1t is the claim of
Pyle that the matching has been done
with an eye single to balanced con-
tests and he says that he expects
every number to be treat for the
fans.
Some rearrangement has been
carried out at the theater to make
possible a number of ring-side seats
and it is the claim of the manage
ment that, they can take care of
q crowd up to 500 with good seats
and every seat enc that will give
good view OF the ring.

addition of several new players to his
team for the coming year Salem has
come to terms with ROD McRae. stellar
third baseman, and Bob Teiiez, flashy
infielder, who last year played for the

help out his already strong pitching
staff. Kuri, who stands six feet eight
pounds, won eight games and lost two
for Detroit high school last year.
Other new players are Maza, out
fielder and Louie Salem, a pitcher.
Both of these boys are promising
rockies Members of last years team
who will again wear an All Star uni
form are Valenzuela and Montana, in
fielders, and Soliz, Rubio and Pinon,
outfielders,
Frank Gotta, star twirler for last

chucking the past season, will again

HAHN REPEATS
CHARGE OF FOUL
AGAINST CONCER

NEW YORK, Feb. 20 tP)-Lloyd
Hahn came back from the middle
west today to augment the athletic
tempest growing out of his flat
charges of unsportsmanlike conduct
against Ray Conger, who defeated
the Boston A. A. star in a record
breaking 1000 yard race at Kansas
City Saturday night.
Hahn told The Associated Press
that unless he Is influenced to do
otherwise by his coach, he considers
withdrawing from the most widely
heralded running event Of the indoor
season the one mile race st the
knights of Columbus meet, Feb. 29,
in Madison Square Garden against
Conger, DR.. Otto Peltzer Oh Germany
and possibly Joie Ray, of the Illinois
athletic club. Hahn has planned
his winter campaign all along with
the idea of attempting to lower the
worlds indoor mile record OF 4:12
at the X. of G. meet.
"It is not a question OF tempera-
ment" the stocky Nebraskan said,
Its question of sportsmanship and
whether / care to compete against a
man who fouled me twice, deliberate
ly, in that 1000 yard race in Kansas
City Saturday night"
"Jack Ryder, my coach, must con
vince me that I'm wrong" Hahn
rumbled. But I don't want to de-
tract from Conger's running ability.
He probably won't get credit for
new world record with the Oil he
turned in because there was no raised
border on the inside of the track.
Tt was genuine 2:11 though, and
on the fast Madison Square track
would have been as low as 2:09.'
There is no question in my mind
that Conger fouled me deliberately, on
the back curve, 40 yards from home,
he bumped me on the shoulder from
behind and knocked me off the track.
1 fell in behind him, thinking it an
accident. In the final drive caught
him and was ready to pass again,
when Conger stepped over directly
in front of me and knocked me out
of stride. Then I realized that the
first foul was deliberate, too, so

CIRCUS STUNTS
CLAIMED BEST
OFFERED AT "

In less than two weeks or on Mar.
8 the Y. M. G. A. boys will strut
their stuff IN their annual circus.
This is the third circus that will
be put on by the "Y'' physical de-
partment, and by the number OF
people that are turning out to see
them, they are gaining in popularity
every year.
Over SO boys and young men will
take part in the show, which will
cover most of the activities of the
physical department program and
also many novelty stunts which have
been worked out by members OF the
department.
There will be IA turns altogether,
and every one of them first class
in every way. Some of them are
exceptionally good. For instance one
member of the weight-Ifting will
tear mail order catalog into halves
and then attempt to tear it into
quarters. This stunt alone is one
that is done in high class vaudeville
The ring stunts will be equally as
good as is seen in the vaudeville
shows that show in this city. There
are many events that will be worth
while going long way to see.
Can a man develop himself with
proper system of exercise? That
question will be answered at the
circus when three of the weight
lifting class will show the develop
ment they have gained, with the
weight lifting course that covered a
period of three months. The turn
will be "Ten Minutes in the Art
Gallery These will show the IA
*mous statues that calf be seen IN
the worlds greatest art galleries and
poses taken from the studios of the
famous strong men of the present
day. This turn also will be equal
to the poses shown by many pro-
fessionals. Special attention has been
given to the lighting system to be
used in this turn, and also to the
preparation for the formula used by
the famous Henretti-De Seris troup
of artists.
The clowns are going to be the
hest chat have been seen in any OF
the "Y" circus events, according to
those who have charge OF this part
of the program. They are working
hard to perfect their clown work,
which it can be safely said Will be
