CLAIM HUSBAND
Witnesses Give
 Testimony At
 LaMattino Trial
Court Continues Case Until Tomorrow When Miss AntOinette Santora Will Take Stand - Woman Accuses Mate of Street Beating

Mrs Mary LaMattino's allegation that she was recently struck and seriously hurt, was partly heard in police court this morning when her husband, James, 60, of 12S Locust street was arraigned on the charge of assault. Mrs LaMattino claims that her husband accosting her on the street punched her so hard that she is still sunder the care of her physician. Tho in- cident took place a month ago and Mrs LaMattino has brought suit for 5000 against her husband, al- leging permanent injuries. The civil action is scheduled for trial In tho court of common pleas.
 Ono of the most peculiar fea- lures of the breach of peace and assault hearing this morning was the testimony of two witnesses, who saw Mrs LaMattino fall, but who declared no one was near her when she collapsed. Whether the woman collapsed as result of being punched at some time pre- vious to her collapse or whether the absent minded husband has in- vented an invisible punch ray" will be determined later.
 Charles Murphy of 132 Charles street and Anna Ziarella of 134 Charles street wero the two who saw Mrs LaMattlno fall to the sidewalk, but who were positive that no ono was near her at the time. Time was called in the case until tomorrow morning when Miss Antoinette Santora of 132 Charles street will testify as to whether the accused husband was near at hand at the time of his wlfe's col lapse.
 A nolle was entered in tho case of John Biase, 23. of 25 Avon avo- nue, charged with breach of the of Samuel Bennett, 23, colored, of 0S1 North Main street until March End was ordered.

Superior Court Will Save Considerable Money By New

Considerable saving for the superior court at Waterbury will result from votes taken by judges or the superior courts on Jan. Q and Jan. 30th 1t is revealed in a communication received today by George Fl. Freeman, clerk of the local court from Luclus r. Fuller, clerk of the supreme and superior courts at Hartford.
 At their meeting in January the judges voted to discontinue the printing of the annual dockets which usually came out in October of each year, showing the total mum Der of cases on file in the court. The docket usually ran into several hundred pages.

When asked by Judge McGrath this morning how he was faring in his quest for a position, Carosello who is acting as his own counsel remarked: Your honor, I am still in state of deplorable indigency." A defense of this kind is so novel as to warrant another continuance in any court in the country.

RING PALS GATHER
FOR SCHAAF RITES
Three Managers of Boxer
Fatally Hurt in Bout
Among Mourners.

w YRENTHAM. Mass, February
NNI 17.-Friends gathered today
at the little white home
Ernie Schaaf built with his
fists. They came to pay parting
homage to the broad-shoulGered sailor
whose struggle toward the pugilistic
heights ended in death after a bout
with Primo Camera last Friday.
At 10 o'clock they planned to take
him to st. Mary's Church with six Of
his old pals walking beside the hearse.
There solemn high mass was to be
sung for the youth who, they said, once
wanted to be a priest.
Among the pallbearers selected were
Jerry Buckley, brother of the fighters
manager and the trainer who often
rubbed his tired muscles. Another was
Jack Mccarthy, stablemate and
heavyweight of considerable note, who
spared with Schaaf in preparation for
many of his bouts.
The three managers who guided box
ing's golden boy" were to be among
the mourners: Jack Sharkey, heavy
weight champion and co-manager, who
carried the inert form from the ring Of
Madison Square Garden in New York;
John Buckley, co-marlager with Shar-
key; Phil Schlossberg, old-time fighter.
who took Ernie In charge when they
were shipmates on the U. S. S. Denver.
The burial was to be In Foxboro.
There volunteer squad from the Bos-
ton Navy Yard planned to fire a salute

LIONS AGAIN BLOCK
YALE CUNTS PATH
Playing at Home, Columbia
Has Fair Chance to Beat
Loop Leading Ellis.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, February 17.-For
M the second time within 10 days
Y the Columbia Lions tonight will
attempt to halt Yale's march
toward the Eastern intercollegiate
Basket Ball League championship.
This time the Lions will have the
advantage of playing on their home
floor. They dropped a 1920 decision
to the Ellis at New Haven on February
7. The closeness of that game would
indicate that the Lions might well be
able to win at home. But this Yale
team hAs been a disconcerting outfit
all season.. specializing in winning all
the close ones.
A victory for Yale would virtually
clinch at least tie for the title. The
Ellis record then would stand at 7
victories and one defeat, with only two
games to play. One of those, against
Princeton, possibly will be lost, but the
other, against Cornell at New Haven,
should not be too troublesome hurdle.
If the Ellis can finish their season with
eight victories and two defeats, only
Princeton could get as much as a tie
for the title.
Yale probably will start Nikkel and
Elliott at forward, Capt. O'Connell at
center and Reese and Miles at guard.
Columbia will line up as usual with
Asseltn and Tomb at forward, Mcdowell
at center and Hartman and Meisel at
guard.

that operation of the clubs affairs
should be under jurisdiction Of club
members and officials.

time to operate Indian Spring or any
other golf club am wholly in spirit
with ideas that anticipate giving maxi

adjust its operating costs to current
conditions. I shall enjoy giving full
measure In cooperation to serve their
purposes and policies for the future, as
believe I have done in the past"
