LEWIS COAL GIVES
 TONNES VICTORY OVER CARRINCTONS
Mite Forward Scores Win- ming Basket With Five Seconds to GO = Hills ROut Hearts

Tn one of the most weird ex- hibitlons of shooting this year, the Thomas club copped the feature game of the City Amateur league weekly twin bill at the Phoenix Arena yesterday afternoon de feat ing the Carringtons, 26 to 25, thanks to Earl Lewis who Tipped fin a crazy one nand overhead shot from the corner of the floor with five seconds to play. Tn the pre- linn the Washington Hills downed the Sacred Hearts, 43 to 24.
 Tommies Rally.
 The first half of the main en- counter was far from interesting, both teams being unable to find the range of the irons. The family five left the floor at intermission leading, Is to 12, but the north enders took the play from them in the final two periods, Lewis, Eddie Dunn and Ralph Santopietro feat uring. It was the first named shooting. Dunn's feeding and San- fopietro's guarding that stood out.
 Matxkin's Basket Thrills.
 With two minutes to play and tho teams tied, Dunn was hacked meath the basket and made one of two tries good, giving the Tommies a point lead. With a minute to go Yale Matzkin. the first barrister to perform in the City league since its organization, dropped in a long side shot to put the Brothers in the lead. It looked like certain defeat for the Tommies until Lewis took past, dribbled into the cor ner and being unable to pass back to anyone, heaved 1t over his head without looking at the hoop and c0nversed, as Timer Kelley's whistle sounded calIing 1t a day.

Bill Hunnefield
 The Campaigner

If "Honey" HunnefieId,' theerst. while Brassco shOrtstOp does not land with a good club next season, 1t willnot be due to lack of am. bition. A free agent now, Bill is anxious to hook on with q minor league club as playing manager, and has gone about the business of securing a suitable job in a most novel manner-fOr a baseball player. He must be operating on the political principle that if you boost yourself you are sure to get somewhere. To that end he has had campaign" cards printed, ala politician, which he passed out by the score to minor league mag mates, who might be interested when they read: "FOr Playing Manager, Bill Hunnefield, ten years baseball experience, Chicago White SOx, New York Giants, Cleveland Boston Braves = Cap- able, Progressive, Industrious-1a Broadway Terrace, NewtOnville. Mass"
 Bill must have conveniently forgot about being a BrasscO!

" VOlleyballers Beat State Champs

That Waterbury Y. M. c. A. has 8 volley ball team rating first class considerating for Connecticut hon ors this season Is now a certainty from their feat of Saturday after noon. For the first time in ten years. the Hartford "Y'' netmen dropped five straight games in a state league match. The Capitol City array has held the state "Y" title for many years. All games Saturday were quite close with the exception of the final contest won by the locals 15 to 9.
 Due to state ruling that a player must have a membership at least 30 days before he is allowed to play in state competition, Fred Ashmore, a new recruit was not eligible to play as was first ex- pected.

FORK REAL LEADER OF AMERICAN LOOP IN 1882 SEASON
Dale Alexander Tops List With .367 for 30 Games Less Than As First Stacker
By JACK CUDDY


 New York, Dec 19 = (UP)-- Maryland. which gave baseball the great Babe Ruth, has contributed another mighty slugger to the na- tional pastice in Jimmy Foxx, most sensational batsman of the Amer ican leagues 1892 season.
 Official figures released by the American circuit show that this ruddy-faced first baseman of the Philadelphia Athletics was the "most prominent slugger in the league" although he failed by three points to win the individual bat ting cham pionship from Dale Al- exander of the Boston Red Sox.
 This husky lad from Maryland truck farm, chosen by baseball ex- perts in October as the American leagues most valuable player, was first in runs scored with 151. first in home runs with 58--just two below Ruth's all-time record of 60--and first in total bases with 438.
 Monopoly
 Fosex was one of the three first basemen who led the league in batting, Alexander, Boston's big. numbering first sacker. finished first with .367, which was 23 points below the mark set last season by Al Simmons. Foxx came second with .364, and Lou Gehrig, one of the powerful factors in the New York Yankees championship vic- tory, was third with .349. Outflelder Heihie Manush of Washington registered fourth with l .342, and Babe Ruth, Yankee right | fielder, achieved .341 for fifth po- sition. He made Al home runs. The race for individual honors between Alexander and Foxx fin- ished in spectacular fashion. Wal. loping out IA hits in 124 games, Alexander battled Foxx to the final inning of the last game. When it was all over, some of the unofficial averages indicated FoxS had won by the fraction of point But an official recapitulation showed Jimmy three points below | Alexander.
 No batting records were broken On June 20 Rober Cramer, young outfielder for the Athletics, made six singles in six times at bat in a nine-inning game, tying the mark. Lou qehrig hit four con- secutive home runs in Philadelphia on June 3, feat unprecedented in modern baseball, although Bob Lowe and Ed Delehanty did it back in the '90s.
 Ben Chapman of the Yankees captured base-stealing honors with 38 stolen bases, eight more than Gerald Walker of Detroit, while Ruth hitting Al home runs, re- corded his eleventh season in which he has hit 40 or more cir cult clouts.
 Team batting honors were won by the Athletics, who averaged .290. The Yankees were second with .2S6, and Cleveland third with

Booth in Thomaston

Taking a leaf from the book of the local American Legion which sponsored a boxing show last week to aid it's Christmas cheer fund, the Thomaston Legionnaires will bring Albie Booth and the New Haven All-Stars to the Locktown tomorrow night to play the Thomaston Kaceys at basketball, proceeds of the game going to the legion cheer fund, intended to make Christmas a little brighter for some of the buddies. That the attraction is a good one, is hardly necessary to relate, for Booths team is an able one, capable of furnishing the best of opposition to most state hoop combines, while the prospect of seeing Booth himself move around the floor will probably fill the Thomaston high school gym to overfiowing.

Girl Lion Tanners

Artful Art Lunny and his Lions club bowling team are picking on some classy opposition tonight when they try duckpin conclusions with the Genlot girls team at the East Main street alleys. If con- tinued conversation has any rela- tion whatsoever to bowling, the merry mortician can be depended upon to do his share toward talk ing the pins into coma that will cause them to fall over. The match itself is quite a novelty and continuation of the mixed con- tests begun last week when the girls sent the Waterbury Bremen back to their hooks and ladders with no trouble at all. Now their ambition is to twist the tails of the Lions into bunch of figure eights, which will not, however, daunt the versatile MT Lunny who will probably arrange. 8 series of bowling matches>a all winter if nec- essary, until the Lions bring home the bacon. The match is scheduled for S:15 p. m.

Efforts of Coach Manherz during the past two weeks have brought excellent reward for he has found- ed up stellar group of graduates, who like to swim on any and all occasions. The opportunity to re- turn to the Alma Mater and ex- hibit their collegiate prowess and improvement and at the same time aid their high school, was eagerly taken advantage or, with the re- suit that spectators will see a classy group of merrnen In action during all events from the 40 yard spring to the relay.
 Classy Squad
 Eddie Smith, last years Dart mouth tank leader will captain the Alumni swimmers. while the Cros- by leader Is unknown at this writ ing. In addition to Smith, will be seen Johnnk Monaghan, one of the best swimmers ever to come out of Crosby, whose after-high-school work at Hanover was also some thing to be proud of. Smith and Monaghan will take part in the 100 yard streak and the back stroke events. Then there's Povalaitis, Krieger, .Lally, of Connecticut Ag- gies; Burke, Walker of Dartmouth and Bachman. Vaughn, Gooding of Fordham and Bill Breen of Will liam and Mary, may take part in the meet if they can be contacted before Thursday.
 Uncertain
 The present crop of Crosby start CTS is uncertain with nothing de- finite aside from a large squad from which to pick the Alumni opposition. At this writing. it looks like Reville, Foxx in the 40 and 100 yard swims, with Leary and Pronovost also in action in the century.
 Lusk and Phillips will probably be the Crosby entries in the back stroke competition with Leggett and Charron scheduled to dive for dear old Crosby. White, and either Morris or Lazeski will compete in the breast stroke number with Cor cotGn and Grisia in the 220 swim. The relay team will probably in- clude COfcOran, Griffin, PronovOst and Griska. All of these entries are subject tochange as Coach. Man herz is far from decided whom his best swimmers are this early in the season.
 The meet, scheduled for 8 D. fla., Is open 10 the public and is sure to constitute an excellent evenings under ideal condi- tions, at the Crosby pool.

BURNSIDES EASY FOR
 BROOKLYN COMBINE

ball troupe provided very little of the opposition expected of them as city champions Saturday night, being beaten by the Brooklyn 4. c. troupe 40 to 32 in a game marked by no less than 30 fouls. Matty Sheehan and Harold Ma loney with 12 and 10 points re- spectively led the scoring parade, while Ed Thayer was the best of the visiting sharpshooters. Ray Daly and lil' DanI Carol with 9 markers apiece also had a promin- ent part in the scoring. which was close enough during the first half but turned into a rout during the final twenty minutes of play under the old rules.

Service De Luxe

COgnizant of the increased in- terest in Sunday night hockey at New Haven, the New England Transportation company has ar- ranged bus service to take care of hockey patrons after the game to out of town points from New Haven to Hartford. For Water- burians, the bus can be secured as late as 11:1O p. nn., and i'm the event of an overtime game, the bus will not leave until the contest Is finished. Which goes to indicate that no opportunity is passed up that will improve transportation service or increase needed business fin these times of geen competition. Lack of transportation has kept many people away from the hockey games, who would like to see them, but that difficulty has now been eliminated.

 Chicago. Dec 1s-(UP)-Chica- go Bears defeated the Portsmouth, Ohio, spartans on the indoor grid iron at the. Chicago Stadium last night, 9 to O for the professional football championship. The Bears scored a touchdown and a safety in the final period to win the title considered the exclus- i've property of the Green Bay Packers.
 The playing field was six inches of dirt and tanbark spread over the stadium's concrete floor. The field was sixty yards long. forty yards short of rule book length. Easy for Kicl<ers Players standing on their own goal lines punted into the other teams end zone all evening. Punts from the middle Of the field land- ed in the mezzanine, balcony and adjacent territory. One kick knocked the 'BL" out of the Black Hawks hockey sign. Another hit a sour note on the organ as the or- ganist was playing. for some ob- scure and undetermined reason. a song about cutting down the old pine tree.
 The organist played sIllinois Loyalty" when Red Grange caught forward pass for Q touchdown. By mutual agreement neither team attempted field goals. Windows cost money.
 Only one punt was caught and returned during the entire contest one went out of bounds, one was downed. The rest landed against the walls or sent spectator scsurry- ing to cover.
 For three periods the Bears and Spartans kicked and passed to no avail. Tn the final quarter, Nesbitt. Bear halfbach. intercepted a pass and ran to the Spartan seven yard line. Nagurski bucised the line twice and then passed to Red
 Grange for the tochdown. Engei- bretsen kicked the goal for the point.
 Two Point JuggIe In the last minute Wilson, Ports mouth fullback, fumbled a pass from center as he stood in his end zone to punt, and the ball went bounding away into foreign terri- tory for an automatic safety, giving the Bears two more points and their to o victory. The Bears finished the season with seven victories, one defeat and six ties. Portsmouth ended with six victories, two defeats and four ties.
