the censorship previously imposed was
in violation of the constitution.
I'm protest against this illegal censor
ship. IL Havana newspapers and maya
zines ceased publication for II days
until the censorship was removed.
Decree Closed Papers.
when the government of Cuba again
determined to put an end to the free
dom of the. press, they were unable to
again resort to the former illegal pro-
cedure and therefore by presidential
decree closed the papers entirely.
This drastic order can only result
in the complete destruction of these
properties and the legality of the order
can only be tested by resort to the
courts, requiring further long period
of time.
Leaving aside the legal situation
the law invoked to suppress the news
papers is Spanish law enacted in 1870
in Spain and promulgated in Cuba in
1879.
I'VE cannot believe that law enact
ed by the Spanish government SO
years ago nullifies the constitution OF
Cuba, which expressly nullifles all laws
in conflict Herewith.
I'VE believe that the government has
taken advantage of this law of anti
quated Spanish origin to avoid further
publication of dispatches dealing with
the conditions which at present prevail
throughout the country.
Even in Spain the attitude towards
freedom of the press has become suff1-
GENTLY enlightened to have repealed
this law.
I'VE have made no effort to combat
this measure which we believe to be
arbitrary and illegal, other than to
take our proper appeal to the Supreme
Court of Cuba"

STRONG FICHTINC CARD ELM CITY
 ARENA TONIGHT
Howard, De Carlos in Main Scramble-Steve Smith Meets Johnny GaitO- BOgash vs Bryan

New Haven, January 13 - (SpeciaD - Buddy Howard re- turns to the wars before his home followers tonight at the Arena where he meets sturdy Armando De- Carlos of New York, in the ten round star bout of the opening Arena A. c. program for 1881. In the second star bout, Steve Smith, Bridgeport's veteran Hungarian tit- ular contender, encounters rough and rugged Johnny Gaito of Yonk- CTS, N. Y., rater the most promising youngster in the Met ropolitan arena. A six round semi final between Lou Bogash of Bridge port and Gene Bryan of Norwalk, and three four rounders complete the 38-round card.
 Wins Wanted
 For Howard, Gaito and Bogash, tonight's card is of the utmost im- portance for each must score a vic- tory in order to remain in the top flight. Howard, following his de- feats at the hands of Al Gainer and Ralph Ficucello, cant afford to take a licking from DeCarlos. tough as he may be, or else he will find his drawing power as a star bout at- traction in this state out down to the ihiHilIuHl. IdItO, dH up and COH1- ing youngster who has scored many impressive victories over formid- able New York youngsters, is mak- ing his first start in fast company and victory over the durable Hun garian who has licked many of the country's outstanding contenders, would establish him at once as some- one to be reckoned with in the and junior light weight divisions. Bogash, of course. is a veteran but he still feels the fire of youth and is eager to get matches with Al Gainer, Buddy Howard or Jack Kelly. A win over Bryan, a tough puncher, would place him in a position where he could force a match with one of the ranking three of the state.

NATIONAL TENNIS
 CHAMPION NO. FIN
 RATINGS FOR 193l?
Tilden to Be Named Ahead of DOeg Periodical Indi- CateS - Mrs Moody Heads Women
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press StafY COrrcsIOndcn

(Unitcd Press Stan COrrcspOndcnO New York, Jan 13.-(UP)-It was generally believed fin tennis circles to-day that William T. Ti1den End, who turned professional last week, and Mrs Helen Wills Moody, who failed to defend her national singles championship last year, would be rated as the No. 1 American tennis player in the forthcoming rankings of the United States Lawn Tennis association.
 Home and Abroad.
 This belief sprang into being yes terday with the announcement in Tennis, the official organ of the U. $. l.. T. A. that, according to a recom- mendatIon made by the ranking committee and approved by the ex- ecutive committee, performances of American players abroad as well as at home would be considered in rat ing the players.
 If the ranking committee does see fit to place Tilden and Mrs Moody in the No. l positions they might as well be prepared for plenty of protest. especially in regard to Til den's right to occupy the ace spot. This for. several reasons, the first being that in 1926 Vincent Richards was dropped from the lists altogether for turning professional. Secondly, it has always been the custom to name the winner of the national singles championship as the ranking player. In nearly half n century of national singles play this custom has been violated but once.
 Tough on Johnny
 Until the announcement in tennis, John Hope Doeg of California. win ner of both the national singles and doubles was considered a sure thing for the No. 1 position. Doeg, it will be remembered. defeated Tilden in the semi-fnals of the national sin gles. and took the title by whipping Frank Shields in the finals.
 Tildcn, like Mrs Moody, had great season abroad. He tuned-up by winning q handful of minor tour naments and then proceeded to win the Wimbledon singles. Here in this country, however. he was not so for tunate. Prior to the national singles he had suffered defeat at the hands of Frank Shields and Clifford Sutter of New Orleans.
 Unanimous!
 No one is likely to protest if Mrs Moody is given top ranking. The former Helen Wills did not come east to defend her national singles title, but no one is silly enough to deny her ability to defeat any wo- man player in the world. On her European iaunt Mrs Moody took both the Wimbledon and French cham pionships.
 Winner Allison, who defeated Henri Cochet at Wimbledon to fur nish 1880 tennis with its biggest up- set, is another player the new rul- ing will probably affect. The same goes for Gregory Mangin, George Lott and John Van Ryn, all of whom did better than ordinary while in Europe.

Minneapolis Slugger Loses First Five Rounds Then Beats Hebrew Badly

Boston, Jan 13-UP)-After los- ing four of the five rounds, Dick Daniels, 186. young Minneapolis heavyweight, defeated Al Friedman 192, veteran Boston fighter, in a To- round slugfest at Boston Arena last night.
 Far behind in points at the half way mark. Daniels won each of the last five rounds by clear margins to earn the verdict.
 Slam- Bang Stun
 So incessant were the midwest erner's short, stout punches during those last five rounds that the 5000 fans who watched the bout felt cer- tain Friedman would be knocked out. But the busy Hebrew campaign CT, who fights at least once a week withstood even a knockdown, though he had several periods of grogginess
 The :eventh round saw Friedman backing from one corner to another and from rope to rope, scoring hardly single punch, while Daniels battered him with rights to the jaw left hooks to the body, and straight jabs to the face.
 Friedman won the decision over Daniels in their only previous meet ing.
 The preliminaries: Pat Hayward. 192, Philadelphia, beat Pavesi Pres :dio, 190. Italy (6): Werther Arcelli 145 1-2, Italy. beat Dick Howell, 147 1-2. Boston (8): Laddie Lee, 161. Boston. beat Johnny Kerr. 1855. Scotland (4); Leslie Baker, Water town, beat Joe Venuti, Boston, (6).

Intersectional basketball games are fine providing the trips are not too long and the games not too many. The Athens (Texas) five, na- tional scholastic champions last year. made a bad mistake by com bining too many games with long trip during the recent holidays.
 Intersectional games may be said to be beneficial because of the op- portunity to exchange baseball ideas. Each section of the country has its strong points and each section can learn something from the other.
 Western basketball features and favors the offense over the defense. Because of this the game has de- veloped to the stage where it is full of breathless action, dominated by

WEB SHOP MARBLES

Following a holiday layoff of two weeks, the Web Shop Bowling League started off the new year with bang last Friday night. The Shippers and the Carpenters won three decisions each over the Ma chinists and the Stampers while the league leading Rubber Room boun- cers increased their lead to four games, when they won two out of three verdicts from the Spare Hands.
 Thy Daunis, the Clover Street speedboy, was the only man miss ing in the league last Friday, and teammates, tho Stalnpers. The hOl- idays were too much for Tony, but it is rumOrcd that he is to join the ranks of the bcnedictS soon, and that may be the reason for his failure to appear.
 The Carpenters who have been in the cellar during the last series, went on a rampage by taking three decisions from the Stampers. The team of Captain Ray Menard, Sec retary Al Baltrukonis, Jack Fitz- gerald walloped the pins hard and timely to place them but five games behind fourth place standing.
 Sammy MicaIo. captain and an- ch0r man of the Shipping Room. flashed plenty of form against the Machinists, last week, cOpping high single with n mark of 138. and then taking high three with mark of 355. Micale's bowling was greatly responsible for his teams success in winning three.
 The Ken "Connie' Strout"Mid- gie" Byron combination of the Rub- Der Room, league leaders, are un- beatable up to date, for these two men were partly responsible for the teams great success against the Spare Hands. It was Strouts great bowling, and Byron's roofing that enabled the Bouncers to come over the top.
