Naugatuck, Jan 26.-Tied for first place with three other teams due to upsets in Saturdays games for the Naugatuck League, the Naugatuck High State champions should add another league victory to their list this week when they invade Winsted tomorrow to meet Gilbert Highs weak team, unless another startling upset is register ed. Gilbert was overwhelmingly de- feated by Warren Harding in a game in the Park City Saturday, Naugatuck defeated Warren Hard ing here by 35-31 score recently and accordingly rates heavy fav- orite to trounce the Winstedites on their home floor. After two games the past week end the state champs will enjoy respite this week but with the Gilbert game listed at this writing. There will be no let down in the drilling of the squad by Coach Foley during the week. for basketball is also a game of upsets mad Naugy cannot affording to lose any more league games if it is to remain in the running for the league crown.

 Dempsey will sign with the promoter whose terms and condi- tions are the most satisfactory" said Sacks. "Joe Jacobs has as- sured me he had not given the Garden an option on Schmeling's services after the Sharkey bout so the contest will be open to all bid ders. I think 1t is the only pos- sible bout with chance to draw a million dollars"
 Dempsey leaves for the middle- west February to begin his sec- ond exhibition tour. His exhibi- tion schedule announced by Sacks follows:
 February 8-Milwaukee; Febru- ary 11-Cleveland-Fe 15- Flint, Mich; February 1S-Chi- cago; February 22-Philadelphia February 25-Newark; February 29-Baltimore.
 Dempsey will box four rounds against one opponent or two rounds each against two opponents in each exhibition. The promoter in each city has the privilege of selecting any opponent he wishes, Dempsey's tour will end around April 1.
 '. In the Way
 The National Boxing associa- tion's effort to dethrone Schmeling for failure to defend his title under the six-months rule seems to have gained headway. Arkansas, Wis consin, Illinois and Michigan fa- vor vacating the Germans crown. while Minnesota, Missouri and Montreal favor extending the time limit.
 Jack Kearns appeared before the N. B. A. yesterday and claimed the title for. Mickey Walker because "Schmeling withdrew from a match with Walker"

 United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 New York, Jan 26-(UP)-1tem: If worst comes to worst and the owners and baseball players find 1t impossible to strike a happy me- dium, the stubborn holdouts might do worse than organize team from their ranks, get 'em a fran chise somewhere and chisel in on one of the big leagues. At the
 present time the holdouts could
 muster this sort of a team: Catch ers-Dickey and Terrell; pitchers Vance and Fitzsimmons; first base Terry; Shortstop-Lary; left feld-Veach; center field-Lloyd Waner; right field-Ruth. Of course this lineup does not provide for a second or third base
 man, but probably Eddie Collins and Heine Groh, say, would agree to fill in until Frisch or Critz or
 Whitney baked at their 1892 con- l tracts:
 Item: The holdouts would have | to get few more pitchers, too. For Dazzy Vance, primma donna that he is, insists on taking a ! Mediterranean CT ruise between each appearance on the mound. This would make it sorta tough on FitZ. Item: It will be interesting to see just how Max Carey, new boss
 of the Robins handles the or daz- zler. For some reason or another | Uncle Robbie more or less pamper- ed Vance. allowing him to pick his
 spots and taking anywhere from
 four to seven days rest between each of his workouts. Vance be-
 ing healthy individual, this was silly and reduced the Dazzler's s
 value to the club. Carey is not | likely to stand this sort of tempera-
 ment from a bird who, by now
 stretch of the imagination, can be
 said to resemble a movie star Or a
 silver-voiced tenor.
 | Item: Being an optimistic man
 Carey probably is counting on his
 outfield of O'Doul, Herman and
 Wilson to hit for combined aver
 age of .377-the boys 1880 per centage. Needless to say, such a
 performance would result in the
 Robins daffy or not daffy, dumb or
 not dumb. coming pretty close to
 winning the National league bunt- 1 ing, pennant, gonfalon, flag, rag. title. crown, championship race. | honors or watchamacallit.
 /! Item: Methinks Carey is doom-
 ed to disappointment. That .377
 average was hung up back in the good old days when the National league ball was livlier than south Georgia straw ride. Those days are gone forever Another thing, it is 1 no secret that Brother Wilson is no l bear when it comes to straighten- ing out a curve. He can do it
 every once in a while, but by the
 large, the Hackamore hates the
 kind that come steaming right up , to your face, and then take de- tour.
 If Hack was weak on curves in
 the old days, he is twice as weak
 now. For those raised stitches
 mean a better grip for the pitchers.
 And a better grip means a better
 curve. And better curve means
 poor Hack.
 Item At this distance it looks | like Baer Schmeling, the Yankees, the Cards, Dr Freeland the Rang CTS.

 Holy Cross Wins Championship
 Glenn Balanda's speedy passing aggregation captured the first Knights of Lithuanian Community championship at St Joseph's Au- ditorium last night, by winning over Cornell 30 to 13 in a onesided contest.
 It was again the Holy Cross di- minutiye speedy forward, a Mir An- thony "BOley" Jokubauskas, who featured on the offense for the champions with five baskets and two fouls for twelve points, while he was aided by Budrus his runn- ing mate who garnered five bas- kets. Both players garnered moro points than the entire Cornell out fit.
 By winning the title of the first K. of L. Community League, it also earned the wonderful prizes offered the championship team by Deputy Sheriff John Jenusaitis. The awards will be made later in the season, as there Is still two more weeks of play in the circuit. We take our hats off to Captain Glenn "Chicf'' Balanda of the Holy Cross championship team. Captain Balanda was entirely responsible for the fine coaching and direct ing his team to their first title.
