 Second Game of Series

Bristol. Jan. 1s.-Forty minutes of intensive action is assured Bristol basketball fandom Saturday night at the state armory when the Meriden and Bristol New Departures-bitter intor-plant rivals--come to grips for tho second meeting of the week.
 The Meridenitcs trounced the Car rollmen in the opening affair We'd nesday in the Silver City. 36 to 2s. in one Of the most bruising battles that has been staged in this section in years. After holding the upper hand all the way Bristol's defense was badly riddled when three of their stars-ManninC. Marchinek and Waterman-were banished for personals. leaving the Bell Towners with only four men on the floor for the final eight minutes of play. Up to this time Bristol had maintained a slight advantage and but for in- competent officiating believe that they would have escaped with the verdict.
 The game was undeniably the toughest of the season with the play CTS of both teams giving vent to their personal animosities hy tho use of unethical tactics. Several times it ap- rearnd as though free-for- all fight would cnsuc and Referee Danny Ahearn was in hot water for the greater part Of the closing period.
 Bristol is ranking for revenge and those who attend the Saturday night he no pink tea affair. The Carroll men are confident that with the ad- vantage of large court they can outstrip the Curry charges and plan to balance the scales Saturday night.
 Of outstanding interest in the con- ing tilt will he the personal clash be- tween Herb Cohen and Jimmie Picken. respective aces of the Meri- den and Bristol quintets. Cohen out scored Picken on Wednesday tc to 6. but the former Dartmouth uhizz ex- poets 10 reverse the tables in the coming conflict.
 Meriden will use it's strongest line up showing Rothenfeld and Cook. forwards. Conway. center. and Cohen and Linsner. guards. with Griffin and Mccarthy in reserve.

|L0MSkI FAVORED | OVER BRADDOCk
Hird Hitting Light HaIis Ms&
 in Glrdsa Tonight

New York. Jan. 1s (uP)-Jamea J. Braddock broke Pete Latxo's jaw and knocked out Tuhy Gri6iths, Sioux City sensation who came to New York with . record of tS con- secutive victories.
 What, then. can Braddeck de against Leo Lomski, the Aberdeen (Wash.) assassin. who knocked Tommy Loughran. light-heavyweight champion. down twice la the hrst round only to lose the decision after IS rounds?
 The answer will be supplied to- night in Madison Square Garden when these two hard-hitting light heavyweights meet in . 10-round bout which may have an important bearing not only in the 175-pound division but the heavyweight divi- sion as we'll.
 With Loughran about ready to forsake his light-heavyweight crown to campaign in the unlimited divi- sion, the winner of tonight's fight will be in direct line to succeed Loughran. Only Jimmy Siattery, the Buffalo boy who has been troubled by inuries and illness 70. gently. will stand between the win- ner and | claim to the 175-pound title or | match with LouEhran if he elects to defend his crown.
 Loughran's designs on the heavy weight championship have caused him to announce his change of residence from Philadelphia to Chi cago. which city he believes to be the fight center of the country.
 Growing fast. Braddock may he a full-nedged heavyweight before tho end of the year. The young Jersey, City fighter has one of the best right hands in boxing. He broke Latzo's jaw with one punch.
 "Braddock hits harder than any fighter I have ever met" Latzo said some time afterwards, exhibiting trussed up jaw as evidence of Brad docks punch.
 Among Braddock's many admirers is Commissioner William Muldoon who last sponsored James J. Tun- ncy. Muldoon also took an active interest in James J. Corbett and James J. Jeffries, two other heavy- weight champions.
 If Braddock can defeat Lomski, another James J. will be in a fair way to fstic fame. Braddock is only 23 and has won IS of his 35 bouts by knockouts. He has lost two de- cisions, one to Joe Monte of Boston and the other to Joe Sekyra of Day ton.
 Braddock expects to weight 174 and Lomski 17c.

New Britain herald., 1929-01-18

After going through one or tne toughest schedules which could be arranged for any team and winning all but one contest, the Corbin Screw Basketball team in the Indus trial league faces its last contest in the first round tonight when it bat ties win the Russell & Erwin team.
 In the early season battles Russell X Erwin and Landers were consider ed the weakest outfits in the league. However, the Russwin team which will take the floor tonight should be the strongest that has appeared this season. "Biffy" Levine. Phantom star guard, has become eligible and with the addition of George Luke who be- came eligible a few weeks ago added to the team which started the sea- son, R. & F.. will do its best to win '.s second game in succession. Last week it defeated Stanley Rule in the biggest upset of the season.

 Cabinet Lock is one of the leagues tough luck teams. Last year it lost four games by one point and last week it dropped another one-po1nt game to Stanley Rule. A victory for Tafnirs will aid it in keeping the fast pace set by the Corbin Screw team. This may be a rough contest.
 Fafnirs will start McGrath at cen- ter. Belser and Havlick at forwards and Matulis and Mieczkowski at guard. Cabinet will use klopp, cen- ter: Walthers and stohl. forwards and Larson and Yankaskas, guards.

Whether New Britain will so back into first place in the American Roller Hockey league standing or not. depends on the outcome of its clash with the Albany quintet at the stanley Arena on Church street to- night. Ousted out of the drivers seat which 1t shared with the New York state team. last Wednesday night by Fall River. the loQals are half game behind their opponents tonight and . win will put them in sole possession of the leading posi-. ton or . loss will drop them farhter down in the lists.
 New Britain will probably be without the services of Barney Do-. herty, stellar halfback, in tonight's game. Barney was i'll with the grip all day Wednesday. but despite this, he played in the game Wednesday night. but had to retire after the second period. He was in bed all day yesterday and it is hardly likely that he will be we'll enough to get in the game tonight.
 This will give Albany a decided advantage because Barney is one Of the strongest defense men in the league. Upon the shoulders of Pete Gazzinga will fall the burden of keeping Earl and Steve Pierce un- der cover. Harry Thompson will be at center while Perregrin will be at second rush.
 Albany will have its full force of players in the game. Steve and Earl Pierce will be on the rush line with Lundeville at center. Molly" Morri- son will play halfback with Barni- kow in the goal.
 The game tonight will be preced- cd by . preliminary between two amateur teams. The main contest will start promptly at 3 o'clock.

MISS CARLSON FREED;
 BIDS LUFF FAREWELL
Keeps Promise to Say Goodbye to Man
 Going 10 Prison

Einis apparently was written to- day in the Luff-Carlson case which attracted widespread attention seV- eral days ago. q nolle being entered in the charge of breach 'of the peace in police court, by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney William NJ. Greenstcin, freeing Daga C. Carlson, 2S, from custody, Miss Carlson was brought from Washington, D. C., with Henry (. Lulf, 4, by ScrgcantS Fceney and McAVay last week, and in superior court at Hartford Tues day, Luff was sentenced to states prison for not less than 22 months nor more than two years on the charge of bigamy.
 The charge against Miss Carlson was of d technical nature and she was not required to post bond for her appearance today. Her sister and brothcr-in- accompanied her. Yesterday she was in Hartford for the purpose Of obtaining a pass from the states attorneys office to authorize a visit to Luff, and it is understood they discussed, among other matters. the disposition of the luggage they left in Washington be- cause there was not room in Luff's touring car to bring it to New Britain.
 According to the authorities. Miss Carlson. who was married to Lulf in Brewster, N. Y., in October. holds no resentment towards him although she felt keenly the deceit he praC- ticcd on her when he represented that he had been divorced from his wife, She said Ee had asked her to pay him a visit before he started his prison term, which he fully expected to be given, and she had promised that she would not ignore him.
