Mayor Quigley
 of New Britain Delivered Impassioned Ad= dress at Meeting Last
 Night

At a meeting before Legionnalre members of the Eddy-Glover Drum Corps in New Britain last night, Mayor Quigley made an impassion"d plea for support of President Hoov- cl's relief measures and handled those wno are opposing him with out gloves.
 In the course of his remarks, Mayor Quigley declared that what people want now is assistance. not wranglng. "The men who are fight ing against the president" he said. should be thrown out of the coun- try. They are small men, who cam not see beyond the bounds Of thair own constituencies. They are worse than the Reds. for they cloak them selves in the guise of a political party"
 The mayor $ not quoted as hav- ing mentioned names. but like as not his honor had in mind some of the rebellious republicans at Washington who are not in accord with the president, and one siding with the democrats. Anyway, Mayor Quigiey is quoted as having made an i'm passioned address and then went on to explain what New Britain is do- ing, concluding as follows:
 We gave out 150 baskets of food today. The largest family we aided had Is in it and the average size of the families was seven members. This work Is not republican. 1t Is the American form of government that says every man should take care of yhe sufferer near him.

BLUE AND WHITE SECOND CHOICE IN SPITE OF lST WIN
Wilby in Stride as Second Contest Nears With Crosby - Reserves in Prelim

Barring an acute attack of stage- fright or Crosby superiority complex, Jimmy Lees Wilby Wildcats should make it game and game with their local rivals tomorrow night on the Grove street surface. Right now. the Wildcats. as they are known to more enthusiastic followers, have been running pretty wild within the past couple of fortnights, having taken the measure of Lyman Hall, Central, Ansonia and Harding while dropping one point game to Rog- CTS in Newport, after trouncing that highly estimated outfit AZ to 15 earl- Tier in the season.
 Frankly speaking, the bottom seems to have fallen out of Crosby's s attack and her defense has been about as impregnable as Major Hoo- ple's frock coat. Against her tradi- tional rival, Wilby, however, any, thing is liable to happen, and with a 22 to IT decision already in their favor the Crosby boys certainly have right to figure on repeating. At any rate the game should turn into one of those hoop thrillers that we all like to see.
 COLBY OUT AGAIN
 Oddly enough, as far as man-pow- CT is concerned the same situation prevails insofar as Crosby is con- cerned for her second game with Lees Larrupers. The Blue and White were shy Herby Colby for.the first game whereupon Ralph Santopietro stepped into the breach and played
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-02-17

well nigh perfect basketball to prove himself the main Crosby cog that came through at the right time, and win the old ball game. What he will or may do tomorrow evening Is something else again.
 Whether Bill Schofieid plays AL derson or Santopietro at center they will have their hands full taking care of Jumping Jimmy Tracy, who seems to be Wilby's latest scorer of consistency. In Tracy. Connell and Crichton, Lee has a really formid- able scoring combine and when any of them have one of those good nights" he is pretty hard to stop. If two or all three of them are click ing, Crosby will certainly finish sec ond in the scoring.
 SECONDS STRONG
 However, the part that the Crosby reserve strength will play in the game remains to be seen. In Men, turweck, Dews and Dunn. Schofield has three boys who know what it's all about and could be depended upon to do something nice in tight game as all three are fast, can han dle the ball and are fairly good shots. They will swing into action during the reserve game and may be used again later. George Chick" Hayes will off .iate the main contest. Prbable ilneups:

 Fights z Heats

Philadelphia, February 17 -(UP) Benny Bass, world junior-light- weight champion, today boasted a unique boxing record that of fighting seven rounds to earn a two- round knockout.

RIVAL PROMOTORS PRESENT 2SHOWS
 IN N. H. TONIGHT

New Haven, Conn. 17-UP)- New Haven sport fans were in the sad predicament today of being un- ale to be two places at once.
 They have to chose between an exceptionally good wrestling show and an appealing fight ticket, pre- scented by rival promoters. The con- flict is the first which has arisen since wrestling came into it's own and both the wrestling and boxing interests predicted the attendance figures would determine the compar- ative popularity of the two sports.
 Mat And Ring
 Promoter Jim Downing is offering at the Arena five wrestling matches including Richard Shikat of Phlla- delphia and Stanislaus Zbyszko or Poland, former champions. Bill Bar lush of Chicago and Joe Pogge of Italy, and Earl McCready of Okla homa and Carl Vogel of Germany.

Hawks Kick on
 Referees Decision

Chigago, Feb 17-UP)-The Chi cago Black Hawks have protested the decision of Referee Mickey Ion which cost them a tie in their hook ey game with the New York Rangers Sunday night at the Chicago Stad- ium, President Frank Calder of the National Hockey league today was on his way here from Toronto to investigate the matter.
 Referee Ion refused to allow goal which would have given the Black Hawks a 2-2 tie. The referee ruled a Chicago player had inter- ffered with goalie Roach's efforts to stop the puck by waving his stick in the New York players face.

Barring trades, a tentative infield lineup, as prepared by Henry F. Edwards, manager of the American League Service Bureau, would bs Radcliffe from the Southeastern League on first; Gregory Mulleavy, tried at short last year, on second {; and Bill Cissell or Bill Kamm at third.
 Plenty Left Over
 That will leave John Ryan. late of Holy Cross. Irving Jeffries. op- toned to Toledo last year, Golf, a Piedmont League third baseman, Willingham. Dallas infelder. and Johnny Kerr. with the Sox for two seasons, to scrap for the utility berths.
 Cssell and Kamm are the only experienced men and Bush may re- erans and Kerr who hit well last season.
 Bush has the makings of a hard hitting outfield, in the veterans Carl Reynolds, Smead JolIey and John- ny Watwood. Watwood also can be utilized at first base weher he play ed for two months in 1880. New outfielders acquired by Chicago are Fred Eichredt, who had a previous trial with Cleveland: and Bog Fin late, purchased from Selma. Bob Fothergill is available for utility and pinch hitting duty and Hoffman and Blackerby have been recalled from Indianapolis and Birmingham respectively.
 Backstops Galore
 The Sox have plenty of catchers with Benny Tate. 1930 first stringer; Frank Grube, purchased from Buff falo: Moe Berg out of the game last year because of an injured knee and Henline. veteran National Leaguer purchased from Toledo.
 Pitching promises to be the Chi cago forte. if Al Thomas. who had a lame arm during the greater part of the campaign, regains his effec- tiveness. In addition to Thomas, Bush has the great Ted Lyons. Pat Caraway, Urban Faber, Garland Braxton, Harold McKain and Vic Frazier.
 Walsh On List
 Jim Moore, purchased from Little Rock, is the only legitimate rookie aside from Frazier who refused to report last year. Bob Weiland will be back for another trial and young Ed Walsh stil! is on the roster.
 If the Sox are successful in at tempts to secure seasoned infield- CT who can hit they may develop in- to a dangerous club
