BURRITTS BARELY
 NOSE OUT A WIN
ThompsonYile Team Held Score
 less in First Half

In one of the most unusual pre- liminary games played at the Stan- ley Arena this season, the Burritt basketball team defeated the Polish- American team of Thompsonvilie but not until after it had managed to survive one of the greatest rallies staged on the Stanley Arena floor. The final score was 2l to IS.
 The Burritts held the Thompson sille team scoreless from the field and foul line in the first half and the score at that time was 14 to o in favor of the New Britain quintet. In the second half conditions were reversed. The. Burrit!s made one foul goal in the third quarter. On the other hand the Polish American quintet finally scored after IS min- utes of inactivity and cut the lead slightly. At the end of the third quarter it was l5 to 4.
 It looked pretty safe for the Bur ritt team at the opening of the last quarter when Darrow, Luty and Gill scored in succession to make the count 21 to 4. With about five minutes 10 play the ThompsonNiile team finally found the basket. Like a bolt out of the sky. it scored total of fl points in succession At the rate the visitors were going th"y would have scored victory had not the final whistle cut short their raily.
 Two of the most spectacular shots of the evening were scored by J, pcnoro and "Hammy" DarroW.
 The feature of the game was the splendid defense of the New Brit ain team in the first part of the game. However this defense failed to function in the latter stages and it appeared helpless against the shots made by the visitors in the final quarter. Darrow was the Of fcnsive star for New Britain and kulas seemed to play better than his Thom pson>ille teammates.
 The summary:
New Britain herald., 1929-03-04

Guarded so closely all through he first half that only the most hur- ried kind of a shot could be made for the hoor, the Hudson. N. Y, basketball team proved to be an easy victim for New Britain Saturday night at the Stanley Arena by the score of 36 to e3. The visiting dele gation scored only four points in the first half, the sum total being made from the foul line and no baskets being made from the field.
 In the meantime, the New Britain team had lied up total of 21 points, giving the home team lead of IT points at the rest period. Al Sloman, playing against his home town crew. led the locals in the first 'half with total of eight points in cluding three baskets and two foul points. Three oi the visiting team < by Entrup, center. with whom "Jiggs' Donoghue carried on q duel all night iunping Ut center result ing in a series Of double fouls be- ing called by Referee Clyde Waters.
 Near the close Of the first hAlf. Frank Dougherty, his years cap tain of the Eordham university five. Was sent into the game to replace Tom Leary, captain Of the Fordna team in 1926 and immediately he fitted in perfectly in the local team : play.
 In the second half, the visitors pulled them.elNes together and for ct short time displayed the only basketball ability Of the entire gam". \ serious offensive against the local team brought the Hudson team from four points to IS while New Britain increased it's score to 2S but then New Britain again spurted anl made if q runaway for the remain der Of the game.
 The Hudson team had a wear- some trip to Ne" Britain through the binding storm Of the carly eNc- ming and the game was started more than an hour after the regular playing time due to the lateness of the qllintct's arrival. The players appeared to be worn out by tn 'ir long trip and it may have been this that caused them to make such a poor showing in the first half.
 The close guarding of the local team, playing a man for man style Of game, prevented the visitors from shooting any~ here near the foul line and only the most hurried of shots were sent at the back board from the center of floor.
 Two Fordhamites, Zakzowski and Dougherty. lod the team in scoring. each caging II points. Dousherty lived up to everything that has been said about him and he proved 10 be a clever floor worker and an excel lent shot. He met with popular fav- or immediately after his first ap- pcarance on the floor. The local team worked nicely throughout the game showing it's passWork 10 great advantage against the weak opposi- ton afforded it by Hudson. The score.

PHAN70MS BEATEN
 BY TAUNTON FIVE
Locals SWamped By Bay State
 Team By 43 to 27 Score

The Phantom basketball team Of this city received the worst beating in its three years as a court com bInat.on Saturday night at Taunton, Mass. when, after q hard and ted ious journey by automobile and motor coach, the locals were forced 10 take the short end of 43 to e7 score 10 the Taunton Boys club five. The game was originally scheduled for o'clock but due 10 the storm the ph; toms did not arrive until Il o'clock As the blue laws pre- vail in the Bay State. the game had 10 be started immediately in order to be over by midnight. Another handicap which the locals had to overcome vas the loss of the services of Captain Cohen who is ill at his home and "Biffy" Levine who was left stranded in the town of North Scituate, 37 miles from Taunton.
 After all obstacles were overcome the game finally got under way. Both teams played neck and neck in the first period the Taunton crew hold ing an eight to six advantage. In the ser ond quarter the Bay Staters. led by Basterson. ran wild and at the conclusion of the half were in the lead, 21 10 l0 Both teams play cd at a furious clip in the second stanza but the lead compiled by the Taunton club in the first half was too great and the local hoopst CTS were forced to bow in defeat. The Phantoms were forced 10 play with four men in the last three minutes.
 The outstanding feature of the game was the foul shooting Of the Taunton team which made good II out of their IS tries. Truman was the best performer for the locals.

SEATTLE, November 22.-Protection
of the court again=t alleged torture
through the injection of truth serum"
and use of a truth machine" BY county
officials who hoped to wiring from him
a murder confession was sought here
today by DecaSto Earl Mayer, suspected
slayer of James Eugene BaSsett of Bal
timore
Mayer and his mother, Mrs. Mary
Smith, we're arrested in Oakland, Calf,
in September, 1928, when found in pos
session of BaSSett's automobile. Siren
uouS efforts were made to locate BaS-
Sstt or his body. Lacking a corpus de-
licti, Seattle authorities eXtradited
Mayer and his mother from California
and charged them with theft Of the au-
tomobile Bassett's wrist watch also
was found in Mayors possession. Mayer
said he bought the car and the watch
from BaSsett.
Appeal Outcome Awaited.
Because Mayer had a long prison
record, his conviction on the theft
charge subjected him to life term as
an habitual criminal. Since his con-
viction Mayer has been in the county
Jail here awaiting the outcome of an
appeal
Yesterday Mayer appeared in court
with his attorneys, charged that Ewing
D. Colvin county prosecutor, and Sher-
if Claude G. Bannick had tortured him
with the truth serum" and the truth
machine" and asked an injunction pre-
venting the officers from further using
such instruments. A temporary re-
straining orders was issued, returnable
tomorrow.
Colvin admitted having used the
truth serum" and truth machine" on
Mayer. The prosecutor asserted that if
he were permitted to interrogate Mayer
for another three hours with the aid of
these instruments he would soon have
BaSsett's body"
Heart Beats Registered.
The truth machine" is said to regis
ter the heart beats of a person under
questioning.
Colvin said the search for BaSsett's
body had narrowed down to three ceme-
teries near Bothell, Wash, and that he
would demand at least one more "Ses-
SION with Mayer and asked the Supe-
rior Court to support him.
