BOXMEN MEET THE CLOCK CACERS IN
 COURT FEATURE
Chase Will Oppose Brass Combine at Central
 YMCA

What has every appearance of being the most attractive basket ball schedule of the Industrial League to date is on the books for play this evening at the Central YMCA. In the top number. sched- uled for S:45 p. m. the champion ship Clock Shop combination, who were rudely awakened by the Scovill boys last week, meet up with plenty of more worthy oppo- sition in Willie Carroll's Waterbury Box Shop outfit, the new league entry.
 The Boxers have had a good start on the season, having played several games to date in addition to their recent appearance in the Dusty loop, while the Clock cagers did not look too promising in their meeting with the Scovill clan. At any rate, the rivals are ready for the struggle with DiBiase, Ragis, Willie Carroll, Kulman and Baron vieing for points with Yanol Car roll, Hollis, Pettricini, Evans, Lefty Kane and others.

 Tn the opening tilt, Jack Grady and his Chase boys will hook up with the American Brass >contin- gent, which lost tight game to the Scovill crew last Tuesday. This contest is also quite liable to de- velop into lone for the book" with several good shots representing both teams.

MINORS WRANCLE ON SALARY LIST
 LIMITATIONS

Columbus, o, Dec Gu. P.) - The proposed salary limit for min-. or league baseball players will come in for further discussion to-day for the Pacific Coast Leagues and the American Association.
 The discussion is not expected to produce results. however, fof the officials of the three leagues are at variance on the proposal. The American Association already has adopted the $6,500 a month budget which was proposed by the execu- tive committee of the National As- sociation of Professional Baseball Leagues, now in session. The In- ternational League heads think this limit too low to be conducive to first class ball, and favors one some $2,000 month higher. The Pacific League isn't particularly in- terested in fixing any player or sal ary limit.
 It is hoped by National Associa- tion officials that the leagues will reach definite agreement before the matter is laid before the asso- ciation later in the week. The present league budget calls for $S,- 500 month or S44,500 a season. Two years ago the limit was $75,- 900 a season.
 Not Yet
 There were many rumors of play CT trades to-day aaFepresentatives of all minor leagues gathered for the associations general sessions, which begin to-morrow. It appear ed, however. that few of these trades would break before mid- week. Four hundred delegates are expected to be on hand by tonight.
 The National Board of Arbitra- tion met yesterday and settled a score of cases, chief of which al- lowed $1,166.67 salary claim by Win Clark, manager, against the Norfolk Club.
 Charles H. Knapp of Baltimore, was reelected president of the In- ternational League for one year and Warren Giles of Rochester, again was named e-president. w. J. Manley was reelected secretary and treasurer.

Today At Local 7heaters

powdered wigs, or other trappings in the production of "Too Busy To Work" his latest Fox production, Will Rogers enjoyed making this, picture. It is the coming screen att traction at the Poli-Palace theater Thursday.
 Rogers dislikes to "dress up" and in his daily life wears the most orr dinary clothes. A pair of well worn trousers, mole-skin jumper and Q white shirt minus necktie, consti- ute his most frequently worn out fit. He does not own a dress suit and, at public functions, his attire is invariably blue serge business suit.
 In "Too Busy To Work", he ap- pears as 8 vagabond wanderer and wears a costume that fits both the role and his personality.
 "Too Busy To Work" is based on a story by Ben Ames Williams and deals with the adventures of a pen- niless, happy-go-lucky tramp who either walks. or rides the brake beams of freight cars, from place to place in search of his daughter who disappeared while he was fighting at the front.
 Child Left MOtherless
 The child, now a young woman, accompanies her mother when she runs away with a man in more af- fluent circumstances. The mother dies and the girl becomes the head of her foster fathers household and falls in love with his son.
 There is pathos in many of the situations in the picture. but Rog- CTS is said to have ample oppor- tunity for introducing the brand of comedy for which he is famous. Marion Nixon, recently seen in "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm Amateur Daddy" and ''Winner Take AL" divides the love interest with Dick Powell, recent discov- cry whose only previous picture role was in Blessed Event."
 Other favorites in important parts are Frederick Burton. Doug las Cosgrove, Constantine Roman off and Louise Beavers. The pie ture is John G. Blytstone's 57th production for Fox Films.

CHANDU THE MAGICIAN AND STRANGE JUSTICE AT NEW
 

The trial is over and the verdict ia "guilty'' the> sentence is death in the electric chair. There is a short walk over the "brldge of sighs' the great iron doors swing shut and another man awaits his doom in the hot seat of Sing Sing. A daily occurrence |. there are a few paragraphs in the paper. But the story behind that tragedy is brought to the screen now for the first time in RkO- Radio Pictures Strange Justice" coming to the New Garden theater to-day and tomorrow. Norman Foster, who first achieved fame on the Broadway stage, portrays the role of the doomed man. Marian Marsh is his sweetheart; Reginald Denny, the man whose conniving placed the boy in jeopardy; and Richard Denny, the man whose Richard Bennett, the lawyer who aids in saving his life. From the chronicles of real-life stories--the press of the nation--came the in- spiration to make Strange Jus- tice." And because every scene in the production has been founded on some IdCC 1TO1Its cScIy"Ady AAOs the picture teeems with an inten- sity of modern life, according to critics throughout the country. Two opposite sides of life are vividly shown Y. the gay cabaret and night life of New York. and the drab, despairing death house at Sing Sing. Although grim and realistic at times. a beautiful TO- nance between Miss Marsh, enact ing the role of a Broadway hat check girl and Norman Foster, a taxi, driver, dominates the theme of the picture, which Victor Schertzinger directed.
 The companion picture is "Chandu the Magician" from the radio drama by Harry A. Earn shaw, Vera M. Oldham and R. R. Morgan, and features Edmund Lowe, Bella Lugosi, Irene Ware and Henry B. Wa1thall.

WASHINGTON FERRY CO., ROUND" CLOSING AT STATE TONIGHT; TWO FEATURE PICTURES TOMORROW

Performances this evening con- clude the engagement of the in. tensely absorbing dramatic smash hit washington Merry Go o-Round' with Lee Tracy, Constance Cum mings and a brilliant supporting cast. Everyone who has seen this picture praises it in glowing terms. It's new, differently and as timely as to-day's newspaper. By all means see 1t before it concludes it's local engagement at the State to- night.
 Tomorrow brings a double feat ure program headed by beautiful Carole Lombard. starring in "No More Orchids"
 Cast as the attractive young heiress, Anne Holt, Carole delays the sailing of an ocean liner from France for two hours because she takes fancy to do a bit of late hour drinking in Paris. She alse gets herself engaged to a Prince Carlos because her grandfather, a slightly stern and slightly vain gen. tleman, thinks that royalty would be good for the family. Besides he sends her every month handsome slice of his huge fortune just for occasional purse-change.
 Then she bumps into the attrac- tive Lyle Talbot, young not too affluent lawyer who has great disrespect for idle daughters of wealth. He considers not worth the ground she walks upon, which is a very novel opinion in her petted and spoiled life. The attitude in- trigues her: the intriguing gets her; she falls in love, thereby setting Cupid into competition to royalty. What happens then is best left to be seen.
 Walter Connolly, Louise Closer Hale and Lyle Talbot, each in his way, makes this Columbia picture a thing of rare and fine pleasure. "No More Orchids" has the warmth that fine players and excellent di- rection always contribute, so that the celluloid becomes real and vi- tally important to the audience.
 The companion feature is to be "The Sport Parade" with Joel Me- Crea, Marion Marsh, William Gargan and other favorites.

BY DAN THOMAS

BY. DAN THOMAS Hollywood.-Facts from film land: It looks as though Warmers won't make that picture based on John D. Rockefeller's life after all. After spending many months and rewriting the story two or three times, they finally got one which met with the approval of the wealthy oil magnate. Then the scripe was turned over to George Arliss, who was slated for the star ring role. And he refused to even consider it.
 Marshall Duffleld, former All- American grid star at the Univer- sity of Southern California, is am- bilious to become a film director. So he is getting his start as assist ant to Richard Wallace on Ronald Colman's next picture. James Glea- son and Edna May liver made such a hit in Penguin Pool Murder" that they will be teamed in a series of comedies. Frank Lawton, young English actor now in Hollywood, is carrying on a heavy courtship by cable with Evelyn Lave to London. But she still refuses to say 'yes'' on the grounds that he Is too young.
 
 Looks as though Boots Mallory, young Broadway star who recent ly was brought to Hollywood, soon is to be joined by her husband unless he's convinced that his place is in New York. Marion Marsh is playing the older and sophisti- cated sister to Joan Marsh in "Wise Girl" Try to tie that one. Lilyan Tashman came back from New York with diamond broach six inches long and four inches deep. Just a little keepsake from the big city.
 Olga Baclanova now is an Amer ican citizen. One of the drags on a married man in Hollywood is that he must maintain two cars-or else play chauffeur for his wife. Lew Cody has new pea-green suit which can't even be described as awful. The manner in which Zazu Pitts uses her hands on the screen isn't an acquired art. She confess ed the other day that its just nat ural--she never has known what to do with them.

The Connecticut Light and Pow CT Company League has resumed it's bowling hostilities after a re- spite of one week due to the Tur- key Day holiday. While the layoff seemed to have bad effect on the bowling soupbones of some of the members, 1t did not dampen their ardor for they showed up, primed with "wim and wigor" and turned in matches during which excite- ment was very prevalent.
 Just cast your eye over the above standing to convince your self of the closeness of the race. l ask you, did you ever see the likes, of 1t? The first twelve teams are all clustered up like bananas on a stalk, with only three points separating the gang which holds forth on the top of the heap and the custodians of the twelfth berth.
 Ray IAutcnschlagcr and his "COwbays' are still leading the pack even though they were tossed for three points by Joe COlucci's "COmbOes." In the first game of this match the "COmBOes" by shooting 525 proved that they are not to be classcd as cellar warmers and intend hopping over into the first division without bOthering to take any detOurs. With Frank Byrnes, their anchOrman, who at the present time seems to be at the peak of his game, there is little doubt that this cult is sure going to be the stumbling block Of some of the boys with pennant aspira- tions.

 The story is an intensely drama tic one based on the novel or Burns who was sentenced to ten years on chain gang for the inert of less than five dollars. who twice escaped and is still a fugitive. The screen play depicts not only the terrors of the fugitive's flight from bloodhounds and armed guards, his skulking from hiding place to hid ing place, a man without a coun- try, but the terrors of the camp itself with it's drudgery, its whip ping post and other tortures.
