'BACLEY OUT OF
 CROSBY'S GAME
 AGAINST NAUCY
Scholastic Muddles Break Up PIanS-Leaven-
 worth Plays Tonight

Sparkling opposition faces Leav. enworth, Wilby and Crosby high school basketball teams, beginning this evening. Two of the three To- cal entries play on foreign courts, Louie Laun taking his Black and Gold cagers to Watertown tonight for a Western Conference joust with the Watertown high lads, said to be sure contenders for the league championship this season. After two weeks of practice, the Leaven- worth boys are ready for action, and intend to surprise the Deland team with a win on their own floor.
 Bad News
 With marks out at Crosby this week, Coach Bill Schofield became apprlsed of the fact that Joe Bag ley his strongest defense player will be among the missing when Crosby and Naugatuck tangle on the borough court tomorrow night. HoWie Neubert also may be out of action for the game, de- pending on his scholastic strug- gles to-day. The absence of these two players will detract from the "color" of the game to a certain extent, particularly in the case of Bagley who was expected to be pit ted against George Nixon Of Nau- gatuck, player as big as him self. Either Johnny Cammarano or Jim Coogan of New Haven will officiate the game.
 Ready to Co
 JNtIkv,a hnnn bnnefula arc on edge for their game tomorrow night at the Wilby gym when Ed die Reilly comes to town with his Central high school aggregation. Coach Jimmy Lee has the boys in shape for the hard game, which he expects to win, as the Wild cats showed plenty of speed against the Alumni. Yet, Central teams are never easy for Wilby, which presages a red hot contest, which will be followed by dancing. The reserve teams meet in q 7:30 pre- linn, which also should be interest

%NN~" H~NNIANNn'sA41e-s'- : .z+H~AN
 By HENRY McLEMORE

Ky HENRY McIEMORE United Press Stan COrrespOndcnt) New York, Jan 5--UP)-Fear
 that the New York state athletic
 commission, long one of the finest
 comic trios on the sports circuit
 was losing It's zip, has been allayed by It's order for an investigation oi wrestling in this area.
 The commissions probe was | prompted by the charges of one
 Hack UIansen Pfeffer, until re- | gently chief imports for Mons Jacques Curley, proprietor Of
 wrestlings most inuential and ex- tcnsive menaBerile. 1t was Mr
 PfeHcr's duty, while with Mons
 Curloy, to make occasional visits
 to Europe in search of strange
 new talent.
 Let 1t be said for MT Pfeffer that he never failed. His was the
 knowledge, and his alone, of the
 mountain retreats, desert fastness-
 es, and salt licks, where the great hulking peasants aboundcd. Armed with nothing more formidable than
 q pair of lawn spats, Malacca cane, purple-dotted shirt and cutaWay | coat, Mir Pfeffer would invade the wilds and return with q magnifi-
 cent collecting of wrestling flora
 and fauna.
 Then Mr Pfeffer got fired MT Pfcffer said 1t was theold double
 cross. Mons CurIey said it was be-
 cause MT Pfeffer had lost his touch the divine gift possessed by all
 animal trainers-and his herd
 would no longer follow his com mands. MT Pfeffer organized his
 own circus, but when 1t failed he
 turned on Mons Curley and
 charged him with operating a trust
 in which many of the matches
 were pre-arrangcd.
 Just FOolin'!
 Public apathy was tremendous.
 To the cItizenry, MT Pfeffer's charges were about as sensational | as the Buenos Aires poultry quo- l tatiOns of November 17. 1881. But
 10 the athletic commission 1t was d
 call to arms. Clayton. Jackson and Durante-no pardon, we mean
 General Phelan, Bill Brown and
 Walker Wear, the commissioners,
 subponaed MT Prefer, Mons Cur
 ley, Tom Packs, Jim Londos, Ed White and host of other promi- hcnt Erunt and gfoaners.
 Just what the commissioners will investigate is something else. They
 cant very well investigate the pre- arrangement charges for several years ago they formally ordered that wrestling be billed as "exhi- bitlons' and not matches. Inci- dentally. their ruling on this mat ter. under the commission's char ter, became state law. Since this
 rule was passed on the prefalso
 that wrestling was just nice, clean tom -foolery, 1t would seem that l the commissioners have already
 settled the business of fake l matches.
 Our suggestion is that the com missionerS investigate themselves l about why they started the investi- : gation on wrestling in the first | place. The chances are that if they investigated themselves deeply | enough they'd fire themselves, and 1 then we could have that nice big 1 room where they sit and smoke | cigars for plnOchle.
 Or don't you like pinochle?

 At the present time there are dozens of teams trying to sched- ule games with the Hlllies but as they can not play more than three games a week, some of the teams will have to wait a while.

LOTT SATISFIED WITH TENTH SPOT
 ON TENNIS LIST

Chicago, Jan 5-UP)-George Lott, Chicago tennis player and member of the Davis cup team, IS satisfied with his tenth-place rank- ing by the U. s. Lawn Tennis as- sociatlon, he told friends before he left for Miami, Fla.
 Ralph Westcott, president or the Chicago Tennis association, has protested to William M. Fischer, New York, president of the U. s. T.. T. A., over Lott's ranking below several players he has beaten, mo- fabiy Gregord Mangin, Sidney Wood and Bryan Grant. Lott was not advised of Wescotts protest.
 The national ranking will come up for ratification at the annual meeting of the U. $. l.. T. A. at Pittsburg Feb 10, but tennis ofii- cials here do not expect any change to be made In Lott's ranking.

LOCATELu, BERG
 IN SECOND BOUT NEXT WEEK FRIDAY
Tough Italian and English Windmill Met in LOn-
 don a Year Ago

New York, Jan 5--No sooner did Al Francis and Frankie Jacobs sign on the dotted line for Cleto Locatelli and Jackie (Kid) Berg, respectively, than the two topnotch lightweights who will continue where they left off in a London ring several months ago, in a scheduled ten rounder. at Madison Square Garden, a week tonight, went Into hard training.
 An unusually large crowd saw Berg go through his paces yester- day at Stlllman's. He did \ten rounds of work consisting of three sparring with Charley Marto, and the remainder bag punching and calisthenics. Locatelli showed plen- ty of pep in his work out at the St Nick gym.
 When Berg donned the gloves for the first time Wednesday in an- ficipation of the Garden star bout he scaled 145 pounds. Trainer Ray Arcel, who has been conditioning the gritty Englishman ever since he came to America in 1928, will have Berg tip the beam at 13S pounds at two o'clock on the af- ternoon of battle, so he says.
 Getting Ready
 Beginning to-day Arcel will en- gage three more sparring partners. That's how anxious iJ he to have Jackie in the proverbial pink when Inc faces the Italian. Last year Berg engaged in seven battles in England and lost only one, that to Locatelli. Victory over Berg induc- cd the Garden ringmaster. Jimmy Johnston, to invite Cleto to exhibit his wares in this country. Many thought Johnston had pulled a boner because Locatelll hadn't had q chance to get acclimated when he matched him with Tony Can zOneri, but the skeptics were forced to take back seat after the Mus solini entry came along so well.
 Six weeks ago Berg fought Tony Falco. He had been out of the ring several months during which time he married. The Falco scrap has helped to get him back into shape. He spent two weeks at Saugertles, N. Y., roughing 1t around the coun- tryslde which, too, helped him put on some extra weight.
 Hell be the same old Berg, tearing in and fighting mad when he faces Locatelli,' promises Arcel.
