A TRUE SPORTSMAN

Mr.. Wild Bill Mehlhorn considered one of the
best golfers in the country, is at present giving
example of good sportsmanship that might well be
adopted by many of athletic stars, amateur and
professional with great good to themselves and to the
particular branch of athletics in which they star.
Athletics have important part in the life OF the
nation, and the various leaders in athletics have large
followings who idolize them. Not always do these

he made the mistake of thinking himself greater than

because they permitted to have their way,
because of some slight, real or imaginary accorded
them.
Mr. Wild Bill" Mehlhorn helped uphold the honor
of American golf against the British in 1925 and 1927
and did good job of it. defeating the best star the
British had-Archie Compton.
1t was a foregone conclusion that Mr.. Wild Bill
would be back his old place this year, repelng the
invaders But the powers that be in golf deemed other

Friends of Mr.. wild Bill" resent the treatment

LANPIER QUINTET READY
 TO BATTLE ATLAS TEAM
New Britain Combine Placed as the Favorte Over New Haven Crew-Lineup of Visitors to Be Strengthen ed by Two Dark Horses-Loca Five Expected to Reach Top Form During Game - New Years Double Header With Bristol Attracting Plenty of Interest.

Clarence Lanpher's New Britain haske etball team, reorganizcd almost completely since the opening of the season, will meet some Of the hard est kind of opposition at the Stanley Arena Saturday night when the At- las Consolidated quintet of New Ha- ven appears here for the second time this year.
 The visiting team will be vastly different from the one that played here in the first game. according 10 the announcement of the New Ha- ven manager, because of the addi- ton of two new men to the lineup. Just who these players will be is be- ing kept q secret by the Elm City crew, but they arc regarded as dark horses who will make the New Britain team travel at it's top speed in order to win.
 Except for Zckc Chadys, little pal Of Al Sloman. the Atlas will have on it's roster the names of players who have become well known through out the state and New England sammy Pitc, former Yale star, and "Shrimp' Evans will be at their usual posts. it is expected, while Alderman will be at center. Schroc- der, who starred in the Bristol En- dee game, will also probably see plenty of action.
 With the announcement of the two additions to the lineup. the At las team will come here as an un- known quantity. Probably the big gcst surprise of the year was sprung on it's last appearance in this city on November 50 when New Britain barely came through With victory. The winning shot was put through the hoop by Foley. local guard, who has been released in the last five seconds of play.
 Since that time, the Atlas bowed to the Bristol Endees by d 42 to 26 score. the Bristol team displaying complete superiority over the visit ing delegation. This caused the man. aGelncnt to immediately reorganizc the team and it wouldn't at all be surprising if two well known college '''''' hN'S SSNlI Ill dCllOll llEIG S3l- urday.
