QUERY MOTHERS
! on EEF TURN

Director Of Traffic william il.
Harland today asked that all.
mothers express their views in re-
gard to changing the present lsft
hand turn at controlled intersec-
tions and substituting the Hoover
turn
The traffic head calls attention
to the fact that the present method
Of making q turn Is the safest for
the pedestrian and that ne would
like to get expressions from every
quarter before making any recon-
rnendations.
Harland explained that the pres
ent turn Is the one whereby q
motorist pulls up as far to the
right in the intersection as possible
and stops until the lights turn.
The Hoover turn" il the one
where the rnotorist pulls into the
intersection and seeing the way
clear turns to the left and is on his
way. This latter turn, Harland
shows, offers another hazard TO
pedestrians.
On plan worked out in the
directOr's office it is shown that
the present turn offers two hazards
as against six on the Hoover
turn.

HARTFORD GAME
HAS LITTLE COLOR
n. B. 4. 5. and Rivals Both in
Losing Shtak

Contrary to conditions Of other
years when two undefeated teams
met in the annual basketball games
between New Britain and Hartford
Public High schools, neither the
New Britain or Hartford quintets
have scored victory so far this sea-
son. five defeats being checked up
against the Capital City team and
three against the Hardware City
outfit.
The game is scheduled to be play
ed in Hartford at the Hopkins street
gymnasium Saturday afternoon OF
this week. Each team is anxious. to
break into the victory column. but
the big motive is to down the bitter
rival from the opposite city.
Hartford's record to date consists
of five defeats from Manchester,
Weaver, New Haven Hillhouse and
Buckley high schools and ST.
Thomas Seminary. New Britain's
record consists of three defeats
from st. Thomas Seminary. Gilbert
high school of Winsted and New
Haven Hillhouse high school team.
This game will mark the final ap-
pearance in high school athletics of
Captain Eddie Sowka and Louis
Landino, guards, and of Alexander
Zaleski and Henry Kraszewski, for
wards. They will go In the game
with all the determination in the
world to end their athletic career in
glory by whipping the arch rivals.
Hartford high school has not dis
played good brand of basketball
since the opening of the season.
Coach John Newell is discouraged
with his men and despite every des-
perate effort he cannot install pep
and ambition in the boys. They seem
to be suffering from lack OF inter-
est.
Some say the New Britain high
school boys are also showing lack
are to be graduated are just finish
ing their season. They seem to be
playing with the knowledge that
they have nothing to gain now. all
the glory of high school athletics
being passed. Coach Cassidy, how
ever, denies this and points to the
fact that the team has given every
opponent this year a tough battle.
The regular lineup will start. Her.
man Schmarr will be the center;
Henry kraszewski and Alex Zaleski,
forwards: Eddie Sowka and Louis

New York. Jan. % (UP)-The
amateur affairs of Paavo Nurmi

The outcome of charges hurled

The charges were first laid before
Daniel J. Ferris, secretary of the

GODfREY.UzCUDUN
Will Not Aid Fueazy in Promo
ting Heavy Bout in Havana

Miami Beach. Fla, Jan. - (UP)
Jack Dempsey is following in the
footsteps of Tex Richard.
The former heavyweight cham
pion has refused TO have more than
one iron in the fire at a time. and
he wants that one red hot. Hence.
efforts OF Jim Dougherty and others
have failed to interest Dempsey in
a plan to stage a heavyweight bout
at Havana between George Godfrey
and Paolino Uzcudun on February
IS, nine days before the scheduled
Jack Sharkey-Young Stribling bout.
II know nothing whatever about
the Havana fight" Dempsey told the
United Press today.
Meanwhile Dempsey has attract
ed the attention of Herbert J. Flu
gazy, who was Richards biggest
rival in the promotion of outdoor
boxing shows, to such an extent in
the manner in which he is going
about plans for the Sharkey- Strib-
ling bout that Fugazy has offered
him position as associate in the
promotion of boxing.
Il will have to wait and see how
successful I am in this my first ven-
ture as a promoter" Dempsey said.
AT present ! don't know whether
will fight again. I am getting q
great kick out Of this work and
everybody knows i would like to
fight again. So you see I'll have to
wait until this fight is over to make
my decision"
The site of the Sharkey- Stribling
bout has been shifted from the
Miami Beach Kennel club to Fla

He couldn't lift his throwing arm

New York had said that the best

League had permantly crippled
himself by playing through the

"Nothin'," he answered. "Bar-

and just rest it. None Of the doc
tors did 1t any good. Guess I'm
licked"
"Why don't you go see Denny"
Reuther suggested. Hes the best

Goes TO Carroll
Denny Carroll, Is the trainer and
rubber OF the San Francisco club
and he has the reputation Of being
one Of the best trainers In base
ball. He's a minor Lacquer only be-
cause he doesn't want to leave San
Francisco and he gets more money
here than he could get in the major
leagues.
Laxxeri went to see Carroll. He
didn't have to explain that he hurt
his arm sliding back to a base in
Detroit and that he couldn't use an
overland delivery in throwing the
ball. Carroll knew all about the
case and he went to work on him.
He found that several ligaments
in the shoulder had been torn and
had knotted which explained why
the arm could be used only in an
underhand swing. The injury had
been aggravated, OF course. when
lazzeri insisted upon playing
through the last games of the regu-
lar season and In the world cries.
He didn't have to be told that

He couldn't play without Tony next
to him. SO Lazzeri remained In tho
game even when the doctors told
him that he was playing his whole
baseball career in jeopardy.
Rubbing Bri.lgs Results
Carroll started massaging his arm
and gave him daily treatments. The
ligaments responded Immediately
and within a month he was able to
life his arm over his head. The
shooting pains he suffered when he
lifted his arm disappeared and he
was able to take light setting up
exercises.
A few days ago he tried his arm
out throwing a ball and found that
he could use his overland motion
without pain. The arm was weak, az
might have been expected, but no
soreness or pain was felt the next
day.
He feels sure that the injury has
been corrected and that when he

Comes From Behind to Down
Boys Club for Third Time

1t was the old story up ut the Boys
club last night. The clubs basketball
team climbed out into . 1911 lead
during the first half and then lost
its advantage rs the Middletown
Y. NJ. c. A. overlook 1t and pressed
ahead to win by 4A-s7. In all four Of
the defeats suffered by the Boys
club this season the local aggregation
has beea in front at the halfway
mark but has been unable to retain
its grip. Three OF these Losses have
been to the Middletown "Y," which
last night clinched the five-game
series between the organizations. The
series stands 81.
Wilcox. the visiting flash. hooked
in the first basket In less than five
seconds of play. but Rametta tied
the score and the teams battled
around until Middletown squeezed
out to 7-6 at the end Of the quarter.
Coach Ray Anderson was playing all
his substitutes and they we're giving
a great account of themselves. A long
throw by Paluch sent New Britain
ahead in the second period and, with
the same player making q
courageous defense and with q nifty
exhibition of foul shooting. the club
picked its way out to 1911 at inter-
mission.
The regular New Britain players
went in at the beginning of the third
quarter but could not hold Middle
town as well as the subs, for. al
though Kerelejza made one OF the
longest baskets of the night, Middle
town then rallied and was soon
right behind at 22-20. Parparian's
shot made it 24-20. but again the
~" came back and Wilcox tied the
score as the period ended.
He opened the last quarter with
another basket, but Gotta and Com
pagnone put New Britain ahead
again at 1926. Wilcox once more
knotted things and Dunn sent the
visitors in front. only to have
Grusha cage a shot for 1880. Han
son sank New Britain with q basket
as he was fouled and then put in
both free tries. Both sides now be-
gan to put in all manner of sensa-
tional shots as the pace grew terrific.
There were 10 points made in the
last three and half minutes and
seven in the last minute and 20
seconds, but Middletown got it's full
share of these and held It's lead.
Mike Paluch, substitute guard
who was recently moved up from
the Reserves, was the outstanding
player for the club. Despite his lack
CT size, Mike was In every play dur
ing the first half and always came
out from a pile Of players with the
ball in his handA He took a ter
rible pounding from the larger Mid
dlctown players but stuck kamely to
his task and, in addition, contributed
two beautiful long shots to the
cause. Parparian was high scorer
for New Britain but was taken out
AT critical moment in the third
period. The hook shots OF Wilcox
and the work of Hanson under the
basket featured for Niddletown.
Dunn and Wilcox put on their
usual patter act against the referee.
Wilcox did most Of tho talking. a
usual, but Dunn enlivened proceed
ings at one juncture by making a
swing at Tobin. The summary:
