 New York, Dec, 2S tP)-Unless h9 is double crossed by the law of aver ages, Shy Arthur Shires, baseball's bashful boy, will win another box fight.
 Taking on five opponents in if days. the American Leagues most should check in with a ring victory before his exhibition tour is coil cluded January 2.
 Whether his victim will be a fool ball player, a jockey, biili9rdl&t, bail player or swimmer, cannot be stated. But certainly it will not be a genuine boxer, for the proud young pugiliat has been spared the ncces- sity of meeting the simon-purc pro fcssionals of punch.
 Arthur (C2ll Me The Great Shires) is assured Of one win Shoul1 l even the average fail. He already has old Man Poverty hanging o1 the ropes under the pressure of tblllDlIltu S Nctl dllltto ol F-',bNH 4ci the five fistic engagements, You know it was the need for | lucre hat caused Shy Arthur to seek financial gain outside of his chosen profession. The White SoX paid him SS,GOO for six months of cCmbin Il clownng, clouting (lhc ball and not Manager Blackburnc) and covering first base.
 When the season closed, fines and various assessments made on Art s nalary reduced the years income to a very small sum. Way back jn August when he still had another bare knuckle bout coming up with Blackburne he was looking ahead to side income for the fall and win ter.
 ! He dabbled in minor activities fol q few weeks and finally was infll- enced to capitalize on his punching prowess by the cold days of early November, which prcsagcd a long
 long winter for even the Great Shircs.

For the second time during the

For the second time during the presen { season, the basketball team that has been carrying the colors of the Atlas 4. C.. of New Haven under the name of the Atlas Con- solidated quintet, will oppose the New Britain five at the Stanley Arena in this city. In the first game between the two teams, played here on November 30, New Britain nos- ed out victory by a 26 to A score.
 The team that is coming hero tonight will be vastly different from that which played the first contest here. Two new men, thought to be two present college stars, will be included in the lineup and, ac. cording to the dope rom New Ha- ven, New Britain will be hard put to it to win tonight.
 Sammy Pite, Chick" Evans, Ald- erman and Schroeder will be ready for action. These, with the two newcomers, present a formidable team for the locals to conquer.
 New Britain is standing pat with it's regular team. The starting line- up has not yet been decided on. Zakzewski and Sloman may start at, 1 the forwards with Jerry Conway at center and Leary and Arburr at tho guards. "Bo" Adams and Carl Res- 1 telli will be on the sidelineS form- l ing a strong reserve force.
 Bristol Wednesday This same New Britain team will tackle the Bristol New Departure team Wednesday in a New Years Day double header. The first game will be played in the afternoon at 3 o'clock at the Stanley Arena while the second anne will be played aG the state armory in Bristol in the evening.

 The largest crowd of the season saw three of the seasons greatest games and in each case the winner was not decided until the closing minutes.
 The games were close, we'll fought and well played. Referee Clyde Waters did an excellent job in handling the contests which are numbered among the most import ant of the season. There was con- edv, sensational shots, good pass work and excellent defensive play in each game.
 Feature Battle
 Although the Corbin Screw Stan lev Rule game was the most import ant of the night it was not the most interesting. This honor goes to the Fafnir and Stanley Works teams, which performed in the curtain raiser.
 The first half was especially good. The Fafnir team got an early lead and was ahead 4 to l half way through the first frame. At a polnt four and onc-half minutes from the end of the half the Stanley Works tied the score at Gall. It was again tied at s and at 9. Although Bucheri put Fafnirs ahead II to 3 two minutes from the end, Swan son and Abramowicz scored enough points in the last minute and halt to give the Buttmakers a II to II lead at half time.
 If it were net for some wonder full foul shooting the Stanley Works quintet would not have been in the running. It folded up completely and was held without a field goal iI the first Il minutes of the secoAG hali
 However, Matulis was guarding Elmer Swanson very closely and th~ latter had many opportunities lc make foul shots. He took advan- tage of these chances as did other members of the team. The result was that II of the 1G chances giv- en the Buttmakcrs were successful
 The Fafnir team soon oNertooh their rivals in the second half. Bu' cheri brought his team to within |. noint of q tie and when the periO, had progressed four minutes Ma tulis caged a field goal and the lcal went to Fafnirs where it remaineC until the end of the game.
 Despite the hard and earnest ct forts of Red" Niatulis, Fafnl guard. Elmer Swanson was agaji the high scorer with five foul shot out of seven tries and two tiel' goals Abramowicz also did well ol the foul line with four out of five
 Belser celebrated his return [, the Fafnir lineup in an impressiy manner. The usual aggressive foo game which has always been playc' by him was exhibited again las night. Some of his baskets wcr circus shots made when he was ot balance. Gierochowski played q fin floor game and held each of his op posing ccnters without a field goa He and Belser were outstandinG Buchcri played well in the baC court.
