 Tho Wong and Mattos narcotic law violation Cascs took an unexpected turn in police court today when At rorney Thomas r.

It was finally agreed to try Mrs Wong and Mattos Saturday morning, which was satisfactory to the attor- ncys.

A. basketball league game played at the local ~" The winners raced out to 9-3 lead In the first quarter, but the Baptists put on a rally late in the second session and cut the Congregational ists' lead to 18-13 on shots by Recano and Recor.

The Falcons engage the Philadelphia Quakers tonight then move up to New York to tackle the Rangers, now tied with them for third place in the American division.

 Toronto, with three star forwards injured is given little chance of go- ing ahead in the Canadian division race. The Leafs, now second. have only two point margin oyer the Naroons and the New York Ameri- cans. They may not lose much. how ever, for the Americans tackle the Montreal Canadiens tonight and the champions have not lost a game at home all season.

LATE RALLY WINS
 FOR SOUTH CHURCH
Jacobi Scores 29 Points as
 Locals Topple HazardYille
County "" League

Finding itself in a furious second- half rally after trailing during the early periods, the South church senior basketball team of this city came from the rear and conquered the previously undefeated Hazard vile R. C. A. quintet by 4S-3S in an exciting Senior County Y. M. C. A. league game in Hazardville last night. The local team, which had not been clicking in accustomed fashion this season, again found itself handicapped by a small court, but the game was far different from that in Wapping last week, being cleanly played throughout. Referee Merrill called e4 personals, but all were for minor violations and at no stage did the game become rough an unusual circumstance considering the size of the floor.
 Danny Wosiius popped a foul to start things, but then the Firtion brothers began to show their knowl- edge of the home court by dropping ) started New Britain's scoring from the floor and Jacobi took over the main burden of it, but Hazardville had A 16-10 lead at the end of the first quarter and one of 24-13 at in- remission. The third period, how ever, saw the visiting team finally functioning as in it's championship days, and with Jacobi running abso- lutely wild and getting good support from his mates the New Britain team forged out in front by S2.50.
 The big push. however, came in the last quarter. Hazardville had lost Carson and stoker on fouls by now Barta. through scoring error, had been taken out of the New Britain lineup in the same way and Jacobi and Wosilus had been playing througout the half with three per sonals apiece. Despite this the visit ors. after watching Hazardville once more draw abreast at 36-all. staged one last grand squirt which caged six baskets in succession and brought the church team it's first win of the year.
 Ernie Jacobi was the big gun of the local attack, having what was possibly the best night in his career and sinking 12 baskets and five fouls for total of 29 points. Jake" was everywhere and put in long shots, short ones, and follou-ups without favor. Vessels accounted for nine points. Hewett getting in at guard for the first time, proved himself capable man at this position and is expected to see more service in the back court. The Firtion brothers, Harold and Russell, starred for Hazardville with S3 points between them. while Carson fed his forwards well. The summary:

.STRIbLING WINS
 DECISIVE VICTORY
Leaves No Doubt as to Superior ity Over GriMths

Chicago, Dec. 13 P-W. L. Young" stribling of Macon, Ga, has completed his conquest of the Chicago heavyweight field by a deci- sive ten round victory over Fluffy" Griffiths, the tough youth from Sioux City, Ia. AS a consequence Strib- ling may be recognized. by the Ma tional Boxing association at least, as the world champion heavyweight. The fstic pride of the south, a ? to l favorite before his battle with Griffiths in the Chicago Stadium last
 night, left no doubt as to his su- periority. but not without calling
 upon all the ringcraft gained in more than 300 fights. He won the
 unanimous decision of Referee Ed Purdy and the judges over the best
 Griffiths Chicago ever saw.
 Stribling was favored to win by
 a knockout, probably because of his Otto Won Porat in the same ring | several months ago, and he made at least one desperate bid to stop the Sioux City youngster. Griffiths, however, fought clever defensive fight and his left hand, while it in- ficted little damage, ruined many
 of stribling's maneuvers.
 Just before the bout Major Gen
 eral John V. Clinnin, president of the National Boxing association. and chairman of the Illinois state athle- tic commission. announced that he had recommended that the N. B. 4. recognize the winner as champion
 of the world, as Max schmeling had
 failed to defend the title within six months of winning it. However. the recommendation must be approved by each member state in the N. B. A.
 The Georgian. out tpeighed pound and a quarter by Griffiths, fought a calculated battle after the first round when the Iowan cut loos2 with a surprisingly effective lett hand assault. meanwhile keeping his jaw carefully protected from blasts such as lowered Won Porat. From there on, stribling concentrated
 most of his attack on Tuffy's middle and inflicted a lot of damage.
 He did not quite reach the willie the clutch stage, but he kept Grlt- fiths we'll tied up most of the way and indulged in what many of the customers considered unnecessary roughness. He cracked Griffiths on the back of the neck a few times. causing the tough one to protest to the referee on one occasion. and on the ropes pulled and hauled Griffitns about.
 The Georgians big effort came in the ninth round when he clipped Griffiths with a whistling right up- percut. Griffiths dived in and grab bed Stribling's right arm but took q half dozen short left hooks before he could take charge of that brand of armament.
 Ringside observers credited Strip ling with six rounds and Griffiths' three, with one even. Stribling

CHIP SHOTS
BY JlGGER

When miniature golf reached the full height of it's mushroom growth, 1t was question how soon it would wilt in it's hothouse environment. When signs appeared, few weeks ago, that indicated a lessening in terest on the part of the playing public the manager of the little courses took steps to revive interest in the miniature lay-outs.
 At first they did the obvious thing-they changed the nature of the various holes by constructing new hazards. That helped some but not enough. It was discovered that the newly developed desire to play games was not going to be satisfied by pee-wee golf alone.
 The indoor golf magnates awoke to the fact that they were expected to provide a recreation hall of a different type than had ever oper- ated before on a commercial basis sort of indoor country club.
 NOW the managers are trying to appease the game appetite by in- stalling ping-pong tables, horse shoe pitching pits and any other game which they think will keep the public comin gtheir way.
 The winter season may not be far enough advanced yet to judge how much effect these new recreation ccnters have on the attendance at such games as basketball, hockey or roller polo. The industrial basket ball league, after two weeks of op- oration, does not appear affected.
 On the other hand, two of the most popular indoor winter games, pocket billiards and bowling, have been hard hit up to the present time. Their promoters hope that public favor will again swing their way. but the coming of that day is as hard to predict as the end of hard times.
 In the face of present business conditions, it does not seem as though there is money enough in peoples pockets to make all amuse- rent places profitable to operate. But the spending of money for pleasure does not run on logical lines If it did there would be fewer cars in service right now.
 A curious side-light on human nature in this respect occurs daily in the police station. we are told. when autoists who have had their cars tagged come in to beg off on the plea that they have no money to pay the two dollar assessment. Still they persist in attending amusement places and park their cars in restricted districts while they spend their quarters and halves

Speaking of Sports


 Begrudgingly the New York sport writers are hack pedaling today on Bat Battalino but, in all such cases, very little praise is being given the Connecticut boy for his sensational victory over Kid Chocolate and his retention of the worlds feather.
 Battalinos poor showing in non- title fights led the New Workers to believe that he would be just anoth- CT setup for the Cuban. We believe that Bats fear of his hands, both broken when he won the title from Routis, led him to fight carefully before last night and this careful ness cost him the fights.
