THINK BAT AFTER
 REINSTATEMENT

Hartford, Feb 12-Those close to the "jnner circles'' of boxing in New York believe that Bat Batta- limo. who was indefinitely suspend cd by the athletic commission of that state when he failed to make the featherweight limit for hls title defense against Lew Feldman' will make a formal application Tor reinstatement before the commits sioners in New York either to-day or next Tuesday.
 It is said that Battaiino, wno was stripped of his featherweigh' crown by the commissioners as far as New York is concerned, VIII make the statement that he re- linauishes any and all claim to the featherweight title. This would be an about-face for Bat as he and his handlers refused to relinquish their title claims despite the ac- ton of the New York commission CTS following the fiasco with Feld- man.
 It is believed that the New York commission would grant him per mission to return to the ring If he makes such q statement and this would pave the way for the pro- posed battle with Billy Petrolle.
 Fly Malley and Battalino him- self are non-committal regardins their plans. Pete Reilly, advisor of the former champion, is still in the middle west.

 GROVE STREET GYM TOMORROW NIGHT
AnsOnia and Gilbert Meet Local Teams in Novel Pair of Games

For the first time in Waterbury high school sport, Crosby and Will by will play the same night on the same court against different op- ponents. Not that the arrange ment means anything in partic- ular except a chance to cut down on expenses, which Is vitally tm- portant to Wilby, in particular. since the game with Rogers of Newport.
 Incidentally, since the financial frost of last Wednesday night with dollar tops and a half dollar for students, the Crosby and Wilby Athletic associations have gotten together nicely for tomorrow nights program with an admission scale of 35 cents to the public, 25 cents for students and 15 cents for students with Wilby A. A. cards.
 Tho Lineup
 At 7:30 o'clock, tomorrow night, Widby will hook up with Art Stew arts Ansonia High Lavenders for the second time this season the Green and White having won the first game 30 to 26. Their second meeting, therefore, should be very much worth while, though Wilby is expected to repeat her win over the boys from the city of copper.
 At 8:3O o'clock, Crosbys team will be opposed by Gilbert High of Winsted in what will be a good tussle when you consider that Crosby nosed out Gilbert 26 to 25 in their first game of the season several weeks ago. Billy Coyle of Wallingford will referee both games, with dancing to follow.

The organization committee, who guides the destinies of this bowl ing league of ours, used very good judgment when they held over the game between Buster Wallace's Wrecking Crew and Hugo Lange's Acrobats-the two teams who are fighting it out for the upper berth. This match did not start until one hour and a half after the other games got under way, so as soon as the early starters finished their rolling, they crowded about the alleys where the Lange and Wall lace outfits were doing their stuff.
 When this battle started the Lange combine was in second place just two points behind the Wall lace outfit but this did not mean a thing to Hugo and his iron men judging from the way he went af- ter these points. When the smoke of battle cleared away, tho stand- ing sheet showed that his team was back in a tie for first place. Hugo himself bowled like one inspired. His 387 was Q large factor in keep ing his team in the race; it also copped the high three iron for him. Incidentally the 1547 which his team rolled lead the parade for the high team hOnOrs.
 Ray Lautenschlager's Ne'er Do Wells stacked up against the Ray Mills Collar Ads. The Mills stream proved to be angry waters for the Lautenschlager canoe and they were capsiZed for four points. This shove was Q costly one for Rays mob for they were past by the Murphy's, Galipeau's and Pray's the trio who are deadlocked on the third rung. Those upsets are awful. Arent's they, Ray?
 The responsibility of the Wallace teams defeat does not rest on the shoulders of Mike Smith. The way Mike went ofter those difficult spare leaves sure gave the crowd who waited over to sec this match, quite 8 thrill. His 137 in the first game makes him head man us far as the high single prize is con- cerned. Look out, Mike, you'll be- come 8 member of the Service Building bowling summed.

To-Day's Sport
 P ar a d e
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan COrrcspOndent)

Lake Placid, N. Y.-Feb 12- No doubt about it, this north coun- tree gets you. Gets you c-r-r-azy. Gets you so c-r-r-azy in fact that before you know you're forgot ten about the law of self-preser- vation and like the natives, go about hunting new and fetching means of self-destruction.
 This deterioration Is not hard to explain. After about two weeks of steady communion with great. silent peaks, men who leap gaily off mountain tops with nothing but barrel slaves strapped to their feet. and birds who whistle down G mountain in death-dealing bob sleds, a fellow begins to believe that indulgence in such nonsense is the only way to live a. full life. Take the case of the young man from Albany, who arrived in Lake Placid couple of weeks ago. For the first week he was cautions to fault, looking both ways before crossing 8 street, and taking q peek under the bed before retiring at night.
 HcU Ilc DtSdu to 6o oo"h ] He took up skiing, bobsledding and cold showers in the morning. Yes terday he went completely hay wire, with an exhibition of deep- dish daring that startled even the veteran Lake Placid filberts. Promptly at o'clock in the aft ernoon when the ice is thickly dot ted with skaters, the young man from Albany took his stand in the cented of Mirror lake. Strapped over his shouldres was a pair of airplane wings, so heavy the young mans kees buckled un- ! der the weight. On his feet were skis. Attached to the shoulder harness was a rope, some 75 feet long and equipped with a hook on the loose end.
 The skaters saw the strange look ing creature and fiocked to the scene.
 The young man attached the hook to the rear axle of @ high powered motor car, backed off as far as the rope would permit, and signalled the driver of the car he was ready.
 With a shout of warning, the driver threw his machine into gear and was off. Across the ice they raced, car and would-be flyer gain ing speed with the passing of each slip second.
 Around the lake he sailed. a stirring picture of grace and 1diocy. As he circled the spectators in the center of the ice, someone yelled:
 "How are you going to land ?"
 That's what m trying to figure out now" came back the answer ing shout.
 His problem was settled mimi ute later, when an upward gust of wind lifted him some 35 feet. At this point, the driver looked back, and unable to see his tow, slamed on his brakes. The second the rope slackened the Albany Lindbergh went out of control, slipped into a perfect nose dive, and headed for the ice. He reached it. making 25-point landing. and a great hole in the ice. As the spectators rushed to the rescue, the young man from Al bany rose to his feet, gathered his broken wings about him, and re- marked sorrowfully:
 'I've got to put a little more thought into the proposition or landing. It's not quite right as 1t now stands"

UNCLE WIGGILY'S BIG FRIEND

This is certainly cozy and
warm!" chuckled Uncle Wiggily as
he cuddled down deeper in the
snow cave where he had gone to be
safe from the storm. mot every
one is as lucky as I am to be able
to dig a cave to stay in and then
find in the cave a fine, warm fur
coat in which to snuggle, Oh, yes,
indeed, I'm very lucky!'
Mr.. Longears gave himself some
twists and turns to get closer to
the warm fur coat. I am not
speaking of his own fur coat which
he always wore, winter and sum-
mer. In summer it was thinner
fur than in the winter. The fur
coat Uncle Wiggily was so de-
lighted with was an extra brown
one he had discovered in his snow
cave.
You remember, hope, how in
the story before this, 1 told you
about Mr.. Longears starting out to
look for an adventure. His wife
warned him it would storm, but he
only laughed. However, it did storm
so hard that the rabbit lost his
way. He had to dig down and

it spoke and said:

me?' 1t was such a loud voice
that Uncle Wiggily himself awak-
ened and, feeling the fur coat
move, he was much surprised.
"Eh! What's this?" asked the
rabbit gentleman.
II say" went on the fur coat,
who's twisting and turning on
me? You're getting my fur coat all
tangled"
Dear mel A talking fur coatl
cried Uncle Wiggily, jumping UP.
II never heard of such a thing.
I've heard of talking pictures, but
never a talking fur coat"
With that the fur coat twisted
and turned some more and pretty
soon it sat up and looked at the
rabbit.
Dear me! 1t has eyesl" cried
Uncle Wiggily.
"Of course I havel" grunted the
fur coat.
And a mouth" cried the rabbit.
"Of course!" said the fur coat
and then it laughed and said:
Don't be afraid, Uncle Wiggily.
I'm a big friend of yours. Pm
glad you came into my snow cave.
Stay as long as you like. Ha! Ha!''
Then the bunny saw that in-
stead of being lust fur coat II

French Assert
Wine Drinking
Curbs Cancer

PARIS, Jan. %. W.p) - Figures
compiled by the French anti
Cancer league, showing an average
of 96 cancer deaths annually for
every 100000 of the French popu-
lation, have been put forward by
the international wine office as All
indication that wine is a deterrent
and curbs cancer growth.
The leagues statistics show that
there are comparatively few cases
of cancer in the departments of
the center and south of France de-
voted to wine growing. In those
regions wine forms an important
part of diet, to the exclusion of
strong liquors.
The disease was far above aver
age in the departments of the
north of France, where grapes
cannot grow and where compare
lively little wine is consumed, and
hard liquors are drunk in qautity.
Corsica, one of the largest pro-
ducers of wine among all the
French departments, had but 26
cancer deaths among 100000
deaths during 1881. On the island
wine is the staple drink. Other
wine growing departments showed
below average statistics.
On the other hand, the non-wine
growing regions of Normandy and
the Paris basin show more than
average cancer deaths. Paris and
the Seine, where more liquors are
drunk than wines, show 13t
ner cent.
