Night Hawks to Roll YOOkies for
 Corner Crown
Special Match at Grand Alleys

Special Match at Grand Alleys
 After a month of dickering Ernie B. l.. Schiavone, manager or the Night Hawks and The Pride of County Kerry, namely Johnny Heath. manager of the Y. M. c. A. Yookies have reached an agree ment whereas their respective teams will meet at the Grand alleys Friday night for the championship of Templeton's Corner and The Bowery. The followers of both teams have been after the two managers to, arrange this game ana plenty of rubles are at stake. The odds at the present time are (. 7-S to 9 5-16 In favor of the Night Hawks with plenty of takers. It IS expected that the odds will dwindle at game time, because Kerry Heath has been secretly practicing in his cellar and has perfected ball that will cause BL. Schiavone to grow 1-16 of an inch and that is some thing that all the best doctors in the country have not been able to do for him. Butch DeVito and his Brooklyn Bronchos have been after BL. Schiavone for a match but the eminent Doctor of BL won't even listen to his proposal until they dis pose of the Yookies. There Is no question but what the Night Hawks will carry off the honors for the night according to advance dope by some of the leading bowling ex- perts in the city. The lineups are as follows:
 The Yookies-Cotton Bells Evans Kerryman Heath, Electric Al Licht, Palooka Rozum, Soup Despins, Mop Malsch, Grover Whalen.
 The Night Hawks-Duck Arm Tata, Doctor of BL Ernie, Darky Dan Suozzo, Pig Head Spiggy, Mickey Mouse Tony, Crooner Min the Slip, Pussy Foot Carosella.
 Any other team in this city look ing for a match with the Night Hawks can arrange same by com municating with Banjo Eyes Ernie Schiavone or through these col ums. If Louie Martino and Rocky Diorio can get their teams together some night in the near future let them come along as we will send them on their way home talking to themselves. Send your chal- lenges in early and avoid the rush boys as Ernie and his Night Hawks leave next month on a southern trip where they will take on all the leading bowling teams in the country. Did I hear some wise guy say they were going on a trip to Washington to bowl the e. A. R.
 Five? No they are not. They will bowl Marie Dressler and all the girls over 60.

Loughran, neither of whom would draw half as much 2"
 Colonel Fitzpatrick suggested that Hamas start moving toward the championship in a buildup scrap with the winner of the King Le- vinsky- Walter Neusel bout, sched- uled for the Garden on March g. The soft-spoken MT Harvey told Fitzpatrick that he never had heard of either Levinsky or Neusel, and that he was not interested in the title. He adjusted his spectacles, tugged at his dropping mustache. picked up his cane, and the con- ference was over.
 Levinsky Out
 For the Garden, Hamas appeared to be the logical contender to build up. Baer will not do business with the Garden, and King Levinsky faded from the tintype in his re- cent poor showing with Charley Massera. Neusel has yet to ac. quire a reputation.
 Meanwhile promoters outside the Garden are busy negotiating for a Hamasr Baer bout. Yesterday Tim Mara, who staged the Hamas- Loughran and Baer-Schmeling bouts last summer in New York, offered to match Steve and Baer at the Polo Grounds or Yankee Stadium in June.

CrichtOn and DanleliO Lead Clubbers to Second Win
 Over West Ends
Special to The Democrat) )

Terryville, Feb 16.-One of the smallest, but one of the best drilled amateur teams which has shown on the Auditorium floor here in several years. made their debut here last night before a capacity crowd and playing under the colors of the Waterbury Boys Club Cadets surprised the spectators by completely outplaying the more ex- perienced West Ends, 26 to IS.
 This was the second victory the Brass City lads turned in over Bill Hagaman's boys this year, doing the same in Waterbury three weeks ago. Showing a small center in the person of Jimmy Crichton, former Wilby high flash, but one most-talented in. handling the leather, the clubbers got off to an early lead which they failed to re- linquish. Gen Damelio, mite for ward, led the point makers with five double-deckers.

the whole meeting was like a bee
hive-and that is easily proven when
l tell you that at that meeting two
Legion posts went over the top for
1885. They were Hinckley and AskOv.
Memberships fell right in your lap,
and they came without effort.
Now, there are no bumper crops
around that section; granaries do not
bulge and green food is not available
for the cattle. But the adjutant of
one of the posts said: 81 have been
in the Legion since it started and
never before have l seen the men,
berships come in so easily" That's
something! They came easily because
they were after them and had given
their post members something to in
terest them.
Funny how many different types
of meetings YOU come across as you
fit about the state here and there.
Some of them are just meetings.
no more could be said. Many of
them are gatherings where business
is transacted and then social hour
is enjoyed. Some of them are action
personified from the start to finish
and those are the kind that have the
attendance, and all that business.
They make something out of it and
the boys want to go along with them.
Now then, with a spot like that log
hut to meet in, / can't see how any
man who is eligible can beat himself
out of a visit there occasionally to
preserve the memories and Incl
dents of our association in the great
war" Brother, in a place like that
those memories and incidents come
bouncing right back at you like a
rubber check!
You like it-much. liked it much,
l know that!

State Adjutdnt
Praises ASkOU
LegiOn's Hall

Two weeks ago C.. A. Zwiener
attended a rally of the American
Legion held in the Askov Legion
log club house and was one of the
speakers. He was so impressed
with his reception and the home
of the Askov Legion post that he
devoted his weekly column in
1.-THE Minnesota Legionaire" to
the following comment:
Last Friday evening l spent the
greater part of several hours in a
Legion home, it being the log cabin
hut and home of the American Le-
gion Post at Askov. All of the time
that l was there l looked about me
and all the time l got to thinking
more and more about this unique
post home and from that l went on
to thinking of the initiative that it
took from the members of that post
to build themselves such a home.
This place is more than an ordi-
nary log hut. Fashioned from trees
cut in the timber land nearby, the
interior is beautiful with good-sized
room and a full basement, with two
mammoth fireplaces, one on the main
floor and one in the basement. These
logs were hewn out and put together
by members of the post and every bit
of other work, aside from the con-
structing of the fireplaces, was done
in spare time by the Legionaires.
In one corner is little kitchen
cite and a ready place to prepare
those hot dogs and hamburgers that
come in so handy in the evening
after the business of the meeting has
been transacted and time for relaxa-
tion comes along. Well-placed and
finely decorated light fixtures finish
up the interior in manner as pleas
ant and comfortable as many homes.
But what l thought about most
was the initiative displayed by the
men of this post to set up such a
structure. 1t cost them about five
hundred bucks and it is worth at
least two thousand; they saved nick
els and dimes by applying their own
efforts, day and night, to make their
home complete. 1t took staying quail
tiles to do that. This post has nor
NAL membership of perhaps 20 or 25,
which makes it all the more apparent
that they have the Legion at heart
or else they would not have gone to
the trouble, work and effort to make
themselves so comfortable.
Somehow or another the reaction
to attending a meeting in a beauti-
full, honey place like this made you
find something in the whole business
that you do not find under normal
conditions. You felt different about
it all. You were impressed with the
beauty of the whole thing, the work
that it must have taken to make it a
reality-but in addition you felt like
you were having a meeting of the
Legion right at home, even though
you may never have been in the place
before.
Occasionally they threw another
log on the fire. and sat there before
the blaze to discuss the pros and
cons of this Legion. Many fellows
and many women were there and
