How 1t Started
"A BAKERS DOZEN"
By JEAN NEWTON

II ERE Is 4 phrase whose acquaint-
ance we have all made and which
we understand TO indicate a quantity
more than twslvs-usually thirteen.
A colorful bit Of history is con-
tanned within the confines Of these
few words.
For they take us back to the days
In England when to give short weight
was an offenss visited with swift and
heavy punishment, upon detection.
And IL was to avoid this risk Of
giving short weight that bakers were
accustomed to giving thirteen rolls
for twelve-thus contributing to our
idiom an expressive allusion to the
days OF old in q modern setting.

Washington.-The question of

An attorney asked one of the ex-

wages are too high. Commissioner

the statement that Eve shall have to

to cut the bottom out of the world

MANCHESTER AND
 BRISTOL GAME TO-DAY'S FEATURE
Wilby Eliminated By Bristol 5 to 33-Naugatuck and West Haven Meet Finals Tonight

New Haven, March 14---With Bris- tol and Manchester opposing one another in this afternoons semi final play of. the Connecticut Inter- scholastic basketball tournament, the defending champion, Naugatuck High seemed certain of opposing one or the other in the finals this eve- ming. The champs were the only group of four winners that had a comparatively easy time, beating Lyman Hall of Wallingford 28 to IS while other victors were winning by two point margins, Manchester de- feated Hillhouse of New Haven 2s to 21, Bristol beat Wilby S5 to 8 while West Haven nosed out Com mercial of New Haven 22 to 20. What A Game.
 Because of the sensational shoot ing of Danny Briotti, swarthy Wilby guard and the comeback of the Wa terbury team which. picked up a ten point trail in a period, the Bristol Wtlby encounter was, perhaps the greatest of three thrillers of the day. Nip and tuck basketball featured the first period of the game, Bristol leading 9 to 8 at the end of eight minutes. Tommy Monahan's boys, with their prize pivot man Hall on the sick list, dug in during the sec- ond period and led Wilby IS to 13 at half time, which they increased during the third session to an eight point lead, 29 to 21.
 Some Comeback.
 Loss of Tracy at center on per- sonal fouls in the final heat hurt Wilby badly. Cornell took his place while Rossi filled in at forward. Con- nell and Briotti tossed in some shots that had spectators on their toes and they realized the strength of the Wilby comeback. Lincoln and Briotti kept the score even with spectacular heaves that had every one excited including coaches, play CTS and audience. A shot by Palau scored on Sleeper" play balanced on the hoop and fell in for victory. The score.

Brooklyn's opportunity to sew up the season right by winning the championship without play-off and retiring unbeaten depends on their ability to outcore the Hopeville outfit to morrow. They are general ly favored to win, but they will have no easy task as the South Wa terbury array is one of the strong est in the league, though handed an unexpected setback last week by the Hearts.
 Another Nice One.
 Naugatuck's Emeralds, who are nearing the end of a most active season a slight favorite to win from the Hearts, who showed plenty of class in their last two games and may spring another surprise of the type they handed the Speedboys a week ago. This game is quite apt to turn the best on the triple pro- gram and there is sure to be plenty of action in it from the start.
 Fircmen's Change.
 The Hills have the easiest assign ment of the day in facing the Al Tiremn, in view of the game the Abrigador boys have been playing during the second round of the tournament. However. Kenny Oui- nets boys have passed out quite q few scares this season, one of them going to Brooklyn and it may be their turn for break against the Hills tomorrow. At any rate, the customers are sure of their moneys worth in hoop entertainment, and President Frank Conroy looks for ward to full house.

 Brothers at Anchor.
 No two teams in the fraternal league could possibly face each other on more even terms. The team average of both is 500 or 100 a man. It is coincidence that the anchor men of the competing teams are brothers. Walter Enhorning leading pin smasher of the National league will face Brother Art in the seasons classic.
 The big banquet, which marks the close of the tournament and which witnesses the presentation of prizes, will be held at Lakeside Tavern on April 11th.

JOHNSTON TO GET
 LOUCHRAN- BOUT IN BROOKLYN?
BY l.. S. CAMERON

New York, Mar 14-Safely past his second important comeback test. Tommy Loughran of Philadelphia retired undefeated lightheavyweight champion stood out today as chief challenger for the title of American heavyweight champion. which the vhite-haired William Muldoon, box ing commissioner, declares is held by that erstwhile gob, Jack Sharkey of Boston
 Loughran won a l0-round decision over Ernest Schaaf, slow thinking blonde boy from Boston in Madison Square garden last night. The i'm portance. of the meeting, if any, was in the fact that Sharkey. who is one of Schaaf's managers, promised to meet Thomas if the latter was able to get by Ernest. And indeed Lough- ran was well able to do this, fol he gave the same sort of boXiniG lesson to Schaaf as he did to other members of the younger heavyweight set, notably the California poll-par- rot, Max Adelbert Baer.
 While Schaaf was well able tC score at frequent intervals with a left hook to the body this weapon was as nothing compared to Tom ny's straight left to the face. Lough- ran's left is one of the prettiest ring tools in existence today.
 1t was not all beer and sktllets for Loughran. He went way out ir front in points early in the fighting but Schaaf had much the best of il in the closing rounds. The United Press score sheet credited Schaa1 with having won the last three rounds. In all. four rounds were given to Schaaf, four to Loughrar with two even. The vote of the three officials was, however unanimous.
 The Loughran-S -Sharkey fight, if il is held will be under the direction oi James J. Johnston, and will be hel6 as an outdoor attraction at Ebbett'. field, Brooklyn.
 Schaaf weighed 200 pounds an( Loughran 1S2 1-2. Theor bout at tracted 12,000 spectators, which !. considered good for boxing in New York these days.
 Loughran's next objective will be z bout with Tuffy Griffiths in Chicago on March 27.
