Horn toOters who have jobs broadcastlng clean up SIS q per formance, or broadcast, a press notice from WOR says. Most of th2 musicians are on the air less than an hour-but they get their SIS just the same. However. they arr required to rehearse, and like ac- tors they get no money for the time spent learning.
 Not few musicians appear in as many as five broadcastS a day. which makes a tidy weekly wage But-one might recall the story of Michelangelo who when told that the sum he demanded for retouch- ing a painting was eNorbitant re- piled: Tt is true that it took me but moment to do it, but think Of the years l have been learning to do it in so short a time"
 All this is true of the musicians in the WOR salon orchestra. which is under the direction of AleXande CT Maloof, and plays at eight o'clock tonight Every man of the % has been practicing for many years an1 this explains why the orchestra has been accorded the best yet privi- lege in the metropolitan press.

The South church basketball team again forged ahead of it's two clos est rivals in the County "Y" league when 1t defeated the Bristol Congre- gational church quintet by S3-26 in a weird game played at the Bristol parish house. Bristol used it's new ly recruited team, but 1t was not until the second half that it was able to do anything. and then the South church stopped its threat and re- gained safe lead.
 The contest was played on a small floor and was slow and rough. Foul after foul went uncalled and the players had to make the best of the football tactics which were being employed. Once or twice it looked as If there might be trouble. but on these occasions things were smoothed over by realization of the handicap under which both teams were play ing, and the game was finished in good order.
 Rockwell shot a basket on the first top before the Bristol team knew the game had begun. Riordan tied the score but Parker put his team ahead again, and he. Bell. and Rock we'll lifted the Hardware City quin- tet into l5-4 lead by the end of the quarter. The second period was not such successful one for New Britain, but it still led by 2O-10 when the teams went off the floor for their rest.
 Bristol rallied with a whirlwind rush in the third quarter. Riordan and Zetarski dropping in long shots while New Britain had terrible luck with it's throws and did not score untN near the end. when 1t led by a bare 22-20. Bristol tied the score at the opening of the final session,

but Bell spun in a shot from be- yond mid floor and the locals grad ually drew away to their final nine- point lead. A feature of this rally was a crazy one-hand toss from the center by WeSsels.
 Beli was high scorer for the win- ming team. making four baskets and three fouls although handicapped during the latter part of the game by the knowledge that he had three personals hanging over him. Rock we'll and Barta had six points apiece, while the other members of the wins ming squad also broke into the SCOT ing. Zetarski featured for Bristol with his accurate long shots, but he was travelling and double-dribbling so palpably on some of these that his scores were continually protest ed. The summary:

Fans who crowd the Tabs hall and the Stanley Arena on Tuesday and Friday nights to see the Y. M. c. A. industrial league teams in action have often wondered where mem- bers of the regular teams have learned their basketball. There is some of the best talent in the state playing in that league and where it Ill was developed is mystery to some.
 Inquiry about town throws lit- tie light on the subject Some of it was developed in the Boys club, some in the High school. and oth- CTS just naturally became basket ball players over night.
 The league.leading Corbin Screw outfit was developed in several places. Joe Luty. center, learned basketball while playing with the Burritt team. Joe is the oldest of the three basketball brothers. He decided to try the game about two years ago and because of it's natural athletic ability he became a star. This happened at the Y. M. c. A. Andy Yakubowicz gained his first knowledge at the Boys club as did Frank Arbour. ''Hammy" Darrow gained his knowledge at the high school.
 Fafnir Bearing team almost to 2 man was developed at the high school. McGrath, center; Havlick and Belser, forwards, and Matulis, guard, were on the high school teams. All except Belser played on the same team. The fifth member of the team, Mieczkowski. was de- veloped at the State Trade school. On the Stanley Rule team. John Kley was developed at the Boys cub as was Nick Gill. Wilton Mercy was developed while playing with the South Church team, Darby Corazzo learned the fundamentals at the '. M. C. A. and Jimmy" Mur- phy learned at the old Boys club on Lafayette street.
 Corbin Cabinet Lock has 8 team of men who learned basketball with out the aid of coaching in their younger days-Ernie klopp in the church league, Phil Walthers at the Y. M. C. A.. Walter Stohl while playing with the Corbin Cabinet Lock, Chief" Larson took an inter- est in the game while active in the Y. NJ. c. A. years ago. Billy Yan- kaskas was also another product of the Y. M. c. A.
 | Stanley Works team is made up for the most part of players who have learned while playing the fac tory league. "Russ' Haigis learned while he was away at school. Elm CT Swanson developed while he was a member of the team. Alden Hewett was developed in the church league and at the high school. Abramowicz learned in the factory league and with the Burritts. Arnold Reckert picked up his knowledge with the church league and high school teams. Carlson has had consider able experience in amateur ranks and has developed as a member of the Stanley Works team. Joe Char low did not play very much at the school and he Is gaining his great est experience in the industrial league.

SHARKEY INSISTS
 HE'S BEST HEAVY
'lodest Boston Mauler Again
 BroadCastin6 His Ability

E4w York. Jan. g (UP)-'He'l n's the worlds made out of left l. nd gloves" Jack sharkey. Boston icavyweight, told the United Press today in discussing his meeting with K. 0. Christner. the Akron, O.. heavyweight, at Madison Square Garden Friday night.
 Instead of making tires in Akron. Ohio, he'll be ready to re- tire after our fight" Sharkey went on to say.
 sharkey will not try to knock out Christner. but will box him.
 He's big. clumsy fellow and tho way to fight him is like I did Harry Wills" Sharkey said. They say Christner has punch. I'm not afraid of it but I'm not taking any chances on it. l have too much at stake"
 Although Sharkey has had only one fight in six months, he believes he is in perfect physical and men, tai shape" Sharkey injured his knee while training for bout with Big Boy Peterson last August. The splints were not removed from his left knee until November 15.
 T weighed 21s then,' he said. but am now down to 191 pounds, my best fighting weight"
 Al Lacey, trainer of the 1924 and 1928 Olympic boxing teams, has been associated with Sharkey since he returned to the ring and he has carefully supervised the Boston heavyweight's training to bring him to the peak of shape for his cam paign to win the title.
 ''Sharkey is perfectly attuned." Lacey said. His training periods are better now that they have ever been. You know sharkey is still . young fellow. He's only 2s and i'm proving all the time. He has not gone back since the Dempsey fight as many people think"
 Sharkey doesn't think highly of Young Stribling.
 Hes just a mauling. wrestling bull-dozing fighter" Sharkey said. Our fight will be just like any other fight and I'm not worrying about it, The purse is big but that doesn't make stribling a great fighter. By the way. who did Stribling ever whip?"
 Both the Christner and Stribling fights are apt to go the limit of 10 rounds, Sharkey believes.
 e$o ipyN ( Ho ,-i o from now on," he said. Ines out to win, Therell be no long chances I'm going to box both Christner and < rbling. If should have to get in he right punch and floor one of t,rcm l might try to finish it but that's not likely. My plan is to wear them down, outbox them and win the decision"
 Sharkey has an added incentive to give his best efforts in his coming bouts and not falter as he did last year when he failed to fight his way to a chance at Tunney's title by his mediocre performances against Tom Heeney and Johnny Risko.
 'I just invested sS0.00o in new home" Sharkey said. I've got tl make good and bring some more money in. I've got too much at stake and I'm going to see that everything turns out just as I planned it."
 Sharkey and Christner were to wind up their training today. Shark ey expects to weigh 191 and Christ ner 193, There is almost not bettinR in boxing circles because of lack of information about Christner. who is lighting in New York for the first time. Sharkey. however, probably will enter the ring or f to fa- Sorite.
