Through Trying Battles

When the Visitation basketball

New Britain at the Stanley Arena
tomorrow night, the fans OF this
city will see a player who at the
present time is proving 10 the SEN
sation of basketball circles through
out the country. lie is Joe Bren-
nan, forward on the visiting club
and one of the high point scorers
in the American League. Brennan
has always been rated as one OF the
best players in the game but he is
experiencing an extra ordinary sea-
son this year.
He has been the leading scorer of
his team in all Of the league games
played so far this season and his
work alone has kept the Nisitations
in the running. His running mate,
Conaty. is a sure fire shot but he
has been content to keep feeding
Brennan and letting his partner do
the most Of the scoring. In the
game with New Britain last year,
Conaty was the high scorer for
Brooklyn.
With two forwards Of this caliber
In the game, the New Britain guards
will have plenty of trouble on their
hands keeping them from running
wild in scoring.
Jimmy Zakzewski will be pitted
against Herlihy. elongated center

game, Scrill and Cooney are the
guards and their excellent work
against the New Britain players last
year will be we'll remembered.
The appearance of the American
League team in this city tomorrow
night. should prove to be the best
basketball attraction of the season
SO far. The visiting delegation is a
strong one and will furnish the To-
cal crew with the toughest oppo 81
ton of the year.
Manager Lanpher Is undecided
about his starting lineup so far but
it Is probable that the same reI
will start as faced Bristol in Rristo

outstanding welterweights among
the amateur fighters OF the state,
have been matched for the feature
bout OF the first amateur tourna-
ment of the new year to be staged

fans a real feature in the first fight
of 1929.
Clinch returned to the ring after
a lengthy absence here a few weeks

ing tough opponent. he won all the
way by a wide margin.

SCHMELING TO BATTLE
JOE SEKYRA TONIGHT
German Fighter TO Make Second
American Appearance at Mati-
son Square Garden

New York, Jan. I R1Max
Schmeling Of Germany. makes his
second American appearance at
Madison Square Garden tonight,
meeting Joe Sekyra. the Dayton, o.,
light heavyweight, in the 10-round
feature bout.
Schmeling made quite a hit in his
American debut some weeks ago
" hen he stopped Joe Monte OF Bos-
ton. but sekyra is no Monte. He Is
clever and tough boxer who has
campalgned successfully not only
the heavyweights as well. Although
he has been beaten by both Leo
Lomski and Tommy Loughran he
has rolled up victories over James
J. Braddock, Cuban Bobby Brown
King Solomon, George Gemas. Ital-
ian Jack Herman and Emmett
Rocco.
Schmeling. who looks enough like
Dempsey to he the old Manassa
mauler's brother. depends upon his
punch to carry him forward into
pugilistic prominence. but he is no
Dempsey. at least not yet. In his
fight with Monte, Schmeling' $
punching proves seemed TO be m
his right arm. Dempsey used both
arms with about equal effectiveness
and Schmelins will find that punch
ambidexterity Is an accomplishment
dear to the hearts Of the fans who
pay the freight.
IN the semi final, Johnny Dundee
and Charlie Phil Rosenberg. OK
champions. will battle for ten rounds
or less. Dundee was former king
OF the featherweishts and Rosen-
berg of the bantamweights.

The amateur game was by far the
best and most exciting seen at the

we're evenly matched except that the
Nash quintet had a more spirited At
tack. Cssperine and H. Gillette kept
Kaplan working like Trojan oil
through the game and gave him q
total Of 80 stops for his nights
work.
The defense Of both teams was
good but the work Of Hall and kief-
