Zubras and his cohorts were stretched out cold. The 3 game loss by Pop makes 1st place and uncertainty with anyone of the ID teams stlli having a chance at 1t. That means you too, Bobbin.
 Captain Kenausis' pill-rOllers, aided, abetted and sometimes "held down. by those two popular Brooklyn dentists, Dr Selens and Dr Zemans were an aid to the team when they rolled 95 or better but Selens' Se and S2, along with Zemans' two 85's were what l would call anchor scores or sOn1es thing that would hold the team down, yet in spite of that, a 100 here and a 100 score there by
 Messrs RadviIa, Al Kasidas, and John March put the Ken-zies on the winning side of the ledger for 2 out of 8 from Lasky.
 Chap Lasky's best bets were Happy Lasky the boy with the Joe D. Brown grin, who short circuited the pins for 103, Strokalaitis with three 1OO-games, Shukaitis 106 and Captain Lasy with 104 saved the team from utter rout, but such is the life of q bowler, you smash them one night, miss them another night and then I, with my mighty pen smash you and make you like 1t.

HOTPOINTS COLD
 FOR PRINCET0NS
(special to the Democrat )

Watertown, Jan 3.-Consistent complaining and miserable exhi- bition of the court game in the last two periads by the General Electric Hotpoints of Bridgeport spoiled what appeared to be strong contest, which, however, wound up 36-12 in favor of the Princeton A. A. herer tonight. At half time, the eventual winners led 12-1O but the last half was parade of points for the Prince tons as the visitors devoted more time to objections of Referee George McNamara than to the playing of the game Johnny Dunn and Mort Kielty scored heavily for the Princetons.

 Oklahoma City-The greatest .wo- mems basketball team of all time, according to'cage critics, is the
 Cardinals of this city.
 Coached by Sam Babb, the lassles have cleaned up on the class of the country in the last two years. Their victims have been the strongest in dependent, university and college squads.
 The Cardinals first grabbed the spotlight in the 1931-32 season.
 Entering the National A. A. U. tournament at Shreveport almost
 unknown, they swept through to the finals and defeated Babe Did, rickson's All-America Golden Cy- clones from Dallas, for national honors.
 Last year Babb's squad went through the season without a de- feat and again defeated the Gold en Cyclones in the nationl finals. Then the Cardinals took a 2O00- mile auto trip into Canada to meet Percy Pages Grads. champions of the dominion, at Edmonton. The gals from Oklahoma won the cham pionship of North America by talk | ing the Grads into camp in three
 straight games. The team has won nearly 8O consecutive victories since 1932.

 ON ARENA CARD
Joe King Rematched With Johnny Genar0 in
 Drudge Match

New Haven, Oct 11.-Another all-star amateur card is lined up | for presentation at the Arena to- night where Matchmaker Dick Gray will stage his second indoro show. The program Is one of the best assembled here in some time with fighters from the flyweight class right up the line to the heavyweights listed for ring duty.
 New Haven fighters are booked to share in the spotlight in four of the bouts on the program. Fran kie Angelo is slated to mix with Buddy Barnes, Bridgeport, junior lightweight; Hot Chocolate, negro warrior faces Jackie Morgan of Torrington, state welterweight champion; Mike Silocka, undefeat- ed Hillhouse high lightweight mixer, goes against Chief Two Moon, Indian scrapper who halls from Waterbury: and Johnny (Jpe Palooka) Genaro, has a grudGe fight with Joe King, Waterbury middleweight. T
 Two are return affairs. The Angelo Barnes shindig will mark the second meeting, the AlIingtown Italian scoring a two-round knock out over the Park City Irishman at the White City Stadium during the past summer in what proved to be one of the outstanding up- sets of the season. On last weeks card, Johnny Genaro dropped a close decision to Joe King when the latter staged a rally in the sec- ond and third round after taking count of nine in the opening stanza. Genaro claims that he was robbed of the duke and prom- ises to give the Brass City lad a neat lacing.
 A great deal of interest is being shown by the fans in, the return to the ring of Mike Silocka, light weight slugger. To date the Polish youth has won 16 straight fights and will attempt to add another victim to his list when he starts trading wallops with Chief Two Moon, Waterbury gloveman.
 The program will feature fight CTS from Waterbury, Watertown, Bridgeport, Meriden, Windsor Locks, New Haven and other cities about the state.

Confidence of a high degree ex- istb In both camps as the day for the all.important valley semi-pro gtidiron conflict approaches. Wa tefbury teams iii past years have always found Tliomest6n's Ponies q tough lot upon which to place harness of defeat, and the TribuI1es will be buckfng up against what unqdestionabiy is Thomaston's hest football machine since its cham. pionship days Of 1881.
 Ponies Fav0rite
 It is expected that the Ponies will enter the tussle with the odds in their favor, but as neither of the elevens have really been tested to date, 1t isc difficult to provide a cleancut cofnpaTison. The Ponies have beaten the Burnsides of East Hartford, and the Tigers of New Britain by comfortable margins, whereas the Tribunes have, taken over the All Hartford delegation and Eastern A. A. of Bridgeport. Opposition furnished by any of these outfits ie however, not of the highest level.
 Tribes Outweighed k It is reasonable however, to concsde the Ponies an advantage in weight and power, but in their first two encounters the Thomas ton club, composed for the most part of huskies, seemingly lacked the proper speed to match its br0wny tactics. Therefore, lighter as they are man-for-man, the Tri- bunes may surprise the Clock Town outfit by flashing series of plays where speed provides the founda- ton for their execution.
 The game shapes up as being the best in years in semi-pro circles, hereabouts.

The race this year promises to be a Cardinal-Giant finish. As early as the third week I. Palzy Jacobs, do hereby predict the fol- lowing standing:
 Jenusaitis (with the help of the brotherly act of Lesunaitis) to fin- ish in first place, with Vaitukaitis n very close second if J. w. Stokes stays away from his namesake, Embalmer Johnny Stokes.
 Zubras, with the help of Dr Bermuda" Selens overcoming the handicap of "Waterwagon" Dan Stokes, a good third. Danisavage with (good controD Sharley Dub auskas minus the help of (out of control) "Jay Jay" Stokes, plus the help of bend John. Oh! please bend John Bender, minus the CO., operation of Insure U. Slokus. plus Mike Sheronas' screw ball. should end fourth.
 Maxaika may talk himself into fifth place, if KOpiczh would throw his third ball second. (Kopiczh can get more spare leaves than all other bOwlers cOlnbincd.)
 Atty Bronsky, Cibulskis and my pal Cal Danisavage are of no as- set. "Slide half way down" Yana- vich for sixth place due to An chor" Dr Zemans. Pete Drevinskas and Dr Colney cannot do a great deal of help.
 
 Tom Dclinks, with the exception of Al Rice, needs 8 new team. With all his handicaps, he should finish ahead of Sardinskas, whom, I the great "Palzy" Jacobs predict the cellar. I feel sorry for "Sardy". How were so many chumps placed on one team. Just imagine bOwl- ing with hams like Joey Yanayich, Albie Vaitukaitis, Eddie "Cappie" Yanavich, Marty Myself" Jacobs, and Eddie Sparks" Lasky.
 To the one who can name the following team, Dr Zemans will pull all of his or her teeth. Team ?: A glass juggler, an Indian medi- cine man. a cold masseur, col lection agency of two, and one good crab.
 Pitcavage's team took it on the chin for two. games. "Black Dla- mond Shukaitis and Jack Bruzas both hit 13O and 13f. Must be that back room inspiration, while their captain was a successful flap, hitting 289 for three years. Yen- kulunas wants to be anchor man next week. Wonder what the rest of the team thinks?

The Cubs welcomed Bob Nelson to their roster Friday night and he helped win two games for them in their battle with the Giants.
 Mike Carlo tried hard to win the first game for the Giants, hls 145 game not being enough. Gene Casey helped him ont with . beautiful S5, the cause of losing this game. Mike rolled SIS for the evening.
 There were some excitement in the final ames. The Red Sox won their only game of the evening from the "A's" by one pin, 564 to 563. Maybe Jim "A's" Cooney's 8S didn't help the Red Sox. The Yam kees also came through, winning two games. the last game by one pin from the Pirates, 633 to 532. McHugh certainly needed support in this match. Mack must have rolled his lifes worst games. getting 77, 85. 96 for grand total of 25S. Maybe you will get your good scores in when your team needs them, Mack.
 The Braves were in rare form, their lowest man, German, hitting them for 314 and their top man. Al R0den, hitting them for S02. The team rolled 17O3 to set back the TamMany Tigers three straight.
 The boys were congratulating George Berube last week for the 1892 score A. Berube bowled with the St. Ann's team, also on arrival of bouncing boy last week. George admits being papa but wants no credit for his brothers scores with St. Ann's team in the Holy Name League.
 The boys wonder why Bill Reed doesn't use his own surname. We understand it's not Bill but CIar- ence.
 On our honor roll this week in- ciude: Roden, 3s2; Carlo, SIS; Mar tin. 368; J. Brick, 356; Alexander 352: R. Hamel, 351; Berube. 349: Piedmonte, 346; Larson. s45; F. Brick, 34s; L. Hamei, s42; Wynn. s42,

Flew York, Again the heavy weight situation Is in mess.
 Steve Hamas' failure to score decisive victory over Art Lasky, the Minneapolis Marauder (there were a lot of the boys who thought Art got the old hokus-pokus on the decision), clearly demon- strates that there isn't a challen- ger worthy to step into the same ring with the Baby Baer.
 Lasky. the widely heralded He brew who rang up such an inn pressive string of victories on the Pacific coast, was expected to mop up on Hamas. the colorless plod- der from Penn State. That he didn't seems to indicate that Art was rather over4rated.
 That Stevie won surely is no recommendation that he be the next man to meet Baer, although
