Mapping Has Close Call

iob--ltl ID the iltIdLLp
 Mapping, Dec. 22-The Mapping "Y" had its closest call on it's home floor within the past two years when it had to come from behind Satur- day to nose out the West Avon Boys club by 27-23 in a rough sen- for County "Y" basketball league game The visitors were not figured to give Mapping much of a run, but, although they could not match Wapping's shooting, they outplaycd the home team on the floor and were in the fight all the way. The half-time score was 10-all. West Avon edged ahead during the early stages of the third quarter but carly in the last period Spencer came roaring up from guard for three successive baskets which gave his team a gOodly margin. Even then West Avon wouldn't quit but kept pecking away at Wappings lead and was within four points of the winners when the game ended.
 A total of 37 personal fouls were called, - on Mapping and 17 on the visitors. Had West Avon made fair percentage of it's free shots it would have won the game, but in this respect 1t was little worse than Wrapping. The shooting of Spencer and the Nicholsons featured for the winners, with Sam Aliano and G.. Longhi doing the best work for the lnSDrS Tho SlIlllnl

This win lifted the locals to within a half game of first place, while Mapping fell back into tie with Addison for fourth position.
 New Britain almost jumped the gun, Wheeler popping two baskets in the first seconds and leading his team out to 90 lead by the middle of the quarter. The period ended with the score 11-4 in favor of tL" visitors, who moved up to 13-4 after Cormier's long shot had made the only score Of a slow second quarter. New Britain still piled up it's lead in the third session, which ended with the tally 1S-7, but Willie Mer- za. star guard, broke his glasses and was taken from the game with a consequent weakening of the de- fense. Mapping rallied in the last few minutes, k. Burger making sev- tral spectacular shots-one a wild one with his left hand-and crept up, but Wheeler and Stanley dodged loose for shots that saved the game.
 Wheeler led his team with four field goals, while Stanley, Cormier, and Merza got four points each. F.. Burger, with nine points, was Wap- pings star. Eleven personal fouls were called on each team. The sum- mary.

Tim Himself, Mighty Nimrod of the Marshes. Hunted the Elusive Snipc
3Y TIM McGRHTH

This being q sporting series, I'm going to switch for the moment, to game hunting. I still chuckle over the incident-thought l was the goat.
 I was just a kid when Tom Will Hams, millionaire sportsman, hired me to go to Stockton, Calf, to train Charley Turner, a great negro mid dlcweight.
 Stockton then was q small town. l was a city kid. l went there with a cocky idea the townsfolk were rubes. A royal reception was accorded me at the sports hangout-as due my greatness. They led me 10 talk about diet for a fighter Someone asked me if q fighter could eat game birds; snipe for instance.
 An occasional fowl is fine" l re- piled judiciously. "But as I recall snipe hunting in Ireland, it's a very i expensive sport"
 i They hastened to assure mo 1t was different around Stockton; in the marshes they could get dozens ill no | time. 1 was so enthused that they organized a hunt for that night.
 A party of about 50 left Stockton. They gave me gunnysack and four packs of those old-timc sulphur matches. l had a cinch job. All I had to do was sit on the ground, hold open the sack and keep light ing matches to attract the snipe so they'd walk in the bag. The others 1 left me, to form a circle and drive the snipe in toward me. I began lighting matches. There was a stiff wind, and the matches kept going out, I almost choked from the sulphur fumes.
 Suddenly l noticed little white ob- iects moving out in front. Now, l knew the snipe were near, and worked for several hours 10 attract them to the sack.
 l | At a. m. l waded through the marshes and walked back to head quarters, the saloon. The bartender. the only one present, nearly had heart failure at my question.
 q ran out of matches. Where can 1 I get some more?"
 1 He gave me two blocks more, and I was starting back for the marshes when all Of the other hunters stepped out of an alley and razzed me.
 | I've helped frame many another person on the same gag. I find, too, that the scattering of bits of tissue paper was a Stockton addition to the sport. These, moving in the wind, were what l took to be approaching snipe.

LtlI NudIu
 Substtutes-New Britain, Com- pagnone, PaIuch, Zujko; Bristol, Goodrich, Rao.
 Everything is in readiness for the Boys club big game of the year to- night when Coach Ray Anderson $ floor against the powerful Bristol Boys club team on the locals floor. Bristol is New Britain's biggest rival and has already defeated the Hard ware City team over in Bristol, so the locals will be trying doubly hard to win the encounter tonight. The East Main street outfit has won six games and lost two so far 1 this season and looks better than | any club team in years. Coach An | derson has been talking of making shifts in his line-ups, sending Win | ters up to forward as Ferony's run ming mate and putting Captain Con- pagnone in at his old guard position, | but advance information given out today had the same combination listed as due to start. This has Fe- rony, the clubs high scorer, paired with Boukus in the fore court. with Kerelejza at center and Winters and 1 Rametta as guards.
 Speedy as the local team is, Bris- tol is given a faint edge, as it has a powerful team composed largely of members of Tommy Monahan's state championship Bristol High school lives. Semski and Tug" Zetarski are d remarkable pair of forwards, with Avallone a high scoring center and Bordeaux. Rao, and Cavaliere, three guards who will make themselves felt on both attack and defense. An exceptionally fast engagement is an ticipated.
 There will be a preliminary, start ing at 7:30 o'clock, and dancing will follow the games.
