STAMFORD PINMEN
 TIE NEW BRITAIN
Hardware City Drop 2 of } Games With Tie For First Place Resulting = Roll Again Tonight

A two game win by the little town of Stratford over the New Britain Rogers has upset the forecast in the Connecticut Duckpin League and as q result the league Is now tie with the odds in favor of the Stratford team. They meet again tonight at Stratford and there is every indica- tion that the Linden Avenue alleys will be filled to capacity.
 Waterbury and Torrington are vitally interested in the outcome, for should either of hte teams lose all three games they will drop below the standing of both Waterbury and Torrington. Both New Britain and Stratford have lost 27 games each and since one of tonight's contest ants must lose either two or per- haps three one team at least is slated to make an addition to the present tie for second place.
 After tonight's series is done with the Charted Oaks meet the New Britain Rogers and Stratford have a postponed game to play with Bris- tol. The outcome of these games play an important part in the de- claring of the championship but no one dare predict the winner Strat- ford's chances are good and New Britain may yet come through and even Waterbury and Torrington may yet battle it out in final series.

A month or so ago prospects for a rousing time on the hardwood cir cult was far from encouraging. The home grown runners looked none too good, the dismal 1880 season was still remembered, and not a single foreign star had agreed to come across and add the ever attractive international flavor.
 Season Looks Good
 Today. however, things were downright rosy. This, because in the few meets run to date, the old stand bys showed amazing form, one or two sensational youngsters were un- covered. and three foreign stars an- nounced their intention to compete. In fact, one of the European aces, Dr Paul Martin of Switzerland. ar. rived here yesterday and immedi- ately plunged into training.
 The good doctor-hcs mighty good around 1,000-yards will be Joined on February by Sera Martin and Paul Keller, French aces. When these three invaders face the starting gun against field that includes such American stars as Ray Conger, Ed die Roll, Fred Veit and Gene Ven zke there is going to be a footrace that is footrace.
 ""A tii ID lHc pIeSeHC uOlueF Ol the Metropolitan and National A. M. U. 1,000-yard indoor titles. Martin and Keller are the outstand- ing S0O-meter runners of France, and Martin is credited with spinning the fastest 800 meters turned on an outdoor track in quite some time Conger - well. ray Is just about the best middle-distance in the world.
 Likes His Training
 Martin devoted most of his cross ing to trotting round and round the various decks of the Bremen and landed in first class shape. He wasted little or no time, however, in getting down to serious training. Last night found him working out in the 18th Infantry Armory in Newark, where he makes his debut next Wednesday night in the 1000 yard event of the Newark A. C.'s annual games. Conger is also en- tered in this event and hopes to erase the defeat Martin handed him in the same race year ago.
 The Swiss doctor is also booked to compete in the Millrose games in Madison Square Garden, February 7th. Conger will again be on hand to match his long, smooth strides against the doctors rolling gait.

BLUE RIBBON BOYS BOWL WAKEFIELD ,
 HERE SATURDAY
Massachusetts Duck pin= ners to Make Debut Here at GenlOt's-First Event at ' O'Clock

Arrangements have been com pleted for the match games to be rolled between the Blue Ribbons and the Wakefield Five of Massachu- setts at the Genlot Alleys Saturday evening. It was originally intended ming series but due to the fact the visiting team cannot make Water bury before 5:30 D. III. it has been decided to start the games at 2 p. m. The singles will be the first event and will be followed by the doubles and the final match will consist of a five game series between the two Five Man teams. The visit ors will have an All New England championship team as well as sev- eral players who have earned dis tinction in National circles.
 Red Millar. who captains tho team. is the national all events champion. a title he acquired in Waterbury last spring. Paul Peeh- Ter. who is credited with being the best all round bowler in New Eng land is another star who will display his ability for the second time in Waterbury. A third member is Ar chic Walsh of Boston, who compet- ed in the national sweepstakes with the Blue Ribbons a few weeks back and still uses the smaller ball in negotiating difficult hits for spares. George McConvill of Wakefield is a regular running mate of Red Mill lars and the sextette is completed with Joe O'Lindy and Ed Farrell.
 Frank Barber will without doubt use Jack White again in the singles, for he is back to form once again and recently scored decisive vic- tory over Barney Spinella of Brook lyn in q ten game match. In the doubles Tato and Frisk will in all probability toe the line against Mill lar and Walsh which will be the probable selection of the visitors.
 The five man event should arouse considerable interest for in this de- partment the competing clubs ap- pear to be evenly matched. All that the Blue Ribbons need is few of the breaks they failed to get against Washington.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-21

The Crosby coach was over powered yesterday by the symptoms which are so widely spread over Waterbury at this time. and medical examination by Dr Max Ruby dis closed that he had the well known grippe" and though improved this morning, will not be allowed to leave his bed for another 24 hours. Young Colby has been ailing for the past week and will not be able to play this evening. much as he would like to.
 Conroy in Charge
 The Crosby kids had their heart set on winning the first clash with their local rivals. but they will have a real tough time doing that with out Schofield and Colby on hand. in asmuch as each Is q most important cog in the court organization. Word at the school this morning had it that the team will be in charge of Frankie Conroy. North End athlete and East Main business man. Con- roy worked the boys in practice drill last night, and will probably replace Colby with Ralph Santopie- tro, tall. speedy boy. while Alder son will be back with the team at center.
 Wilby All Set
 Realizing that the underdogs will Tight all the harder without their coach and regular player, Mentor James Lee has impressed his flock with the importance of getting the lead on Crosby and keeping it Be cause of his consistently good work Tn recent games, it is quite proba ble that Jimmy Crichton will start at forward with Sonny Cornell. with Tracy at the pivot post and the DWycr-Briotti duo in the back-court They will be faced by Dunn and Har- nick at forward. Alderson, at center, and Kern and SantopierO at guard George "Chick" Hayes of Hartford has been secured to handle the ref cree assignment for the main game.
 Those Reserves!
 AS sort of warm-up, the spirited q reserve teams of the schools are due to clash in a preliminary game sched. uled for 7:45 o'clock. This game is apt to rival the main encounter for interest as past history discloses the iact that the Crosby -Wilby subs rare lv are more than few points apart when the final whistle blows. John Cluney will referee this game.
