TILDEN PLANS
 SPORTS BOWL
 IN MANHATTAN
Would Compete With Mad= isOn Square Garden in
 Boxing and Tennis
By STUART CAMERON United Press Sports Editor)

New > York. (UP)-UnleSS the Messrs William T, Tilden and Will liam O'Brien ccme to their senses shortly, the Tilden Bowl, an oval shaped structure costing in the neighborhood of $75,00O. soon will rear it's concrete ramparts almost in the center of the isle that is Manhattan.
 Encouraged by the success of their professional tennis venture, MT Tilden and MT O'Brien have, it is understood, laid complete pIas for the erection of the sports site of a National Guard armory, a block bounded by Columbus ave- nue, Broadway. and the streets Sixty-seven and Sixty eight.
 According to reliable reports ground will be broken for the bowl early in the spring, and the whole thing ready for use by early Sum- mer. Strangely enough, tennis will not be featured at Tilden Bowl, but will date behind boxing and wrestling, which will be featured.
 According to present plans the boxing end of the arena will be placed in the hands of Jimmy (Bowtie) Bronson, widely known fight manager, who is best known for his development of Gene Tun- ney.
 Track affairs will be in charge of Hugo, Quist, one-time manager of Paavo Nurmi, the Flying Finn Cor was it the Galloping Ghost). It is understood that Jed Harris, not ed Broadway producer is interest ed in obtaining the rights for musicales, paeeants, concerts, ball. lets, opera, and the such.
 The plans call for an arena which will seat better than 18,OOO for boxing, some 10000 for tennis and around 20,000 for track, mak. ing it of approximately the same seating capacity as Madison Square Garden.
 Only time will prove whether Messrs Tilden and O'Brien are smart or not. Granted, they could not choose a more apt time to buck the Garden, which has been de- clining in pofuiarity, especially in boxing way, at an alarming rate. Tilden Bowl. with the popular Bronson in charge certainly could steal the boxing play from the Gar den, what with nine-tenths of the iHdHdScTS SO duHOySu WlIH JiInIuy Johnston of the Garden that they refuse to fight under his promo tion.
 But the Gafden has hockey, 6 big g-noney-maker. sewed up. It also has a monopoly on the six day bicycle racing trade. And it has a roof, which would give it first. call over Tilden Bowl on conventions, Propositions flower. dog. horse. and all the ther shows. These ere the things which keep an arena oco cupied week in and week out, and are the real money makers.
 But why worry about the other fellows money? If the Messrs. Til den and O'Brien have too much of what it takes, rhere isn't any nicer faster way to get rid of it than to build a stadium.

'REYMONDS SHADE
 SHADOWS IN HOT BROOKLYN GAME
League Rivals Tie for Lead After l5-l2 Contest Be-
 fore Capacity Crowd

Trailing by a point at the end oi the first half the Raymond Hillies came back strong in the final half to take a 15-12 decision from the Shadows last night at the Brooklyn Y before one of the largest crowds to witness a junior tilt this sea- son. As a result of the victory the Hillies and Shadows are tied for first place in the second round and providing both teams win their league games next week a playoff will be necessary to decide the win ner of the second round.
 Slow To Score
 The first period found both teams playing defensive basketball and as a result the first eight min utes of play saw neither team scor- ing a point, the period ending 0-0. The Hillies took twice as many shots as their opponents in this period but none of them found their range. The Shadows were first to score when midway in the second period Capaldo was pushed when he endeavored to shoot a sucker shot after dribbling all the way down the court and he made good both foul tries to give the Shadows the lead. A few minutes later Sweeney was fouled by Pete Pomponio and made good on his attempt giving the Shadows a three point lead. The Hillies continued to lombard the hoop but failed to count until just before the whistle blew ending the half Freddy Sul- livan threw in the first hoop of the night and the half ended here with the Shadows, altough they had failed to score basket in the entire half. leading 3-2.
 Cunha Does It
 quarter the Hillies started to click and just after the period got un- derway Cunha threw in a nice shot from the side of the floor to give the Hillies the lead for the first time. The winners failed to hold 1t very long however when Johnny Snug scored two baskets in rapid succession to give the Shadows the lead. Baskets by the Pomponio brothers and two by Cunha how ever gave the doughboys a 1928 lead at the end of the third period.
 Tn the final period Pete Pom ponio fouled Benny Yoksha and was banished from the game on four personal fouls Yoksha mak- ing good the foul try. Eddie Jo- seph replaced Pomponio and Yoksha managed to get away from him to score a basket leaving the trailing by a point. Toby Ramon who had been having hard luck with his shots scored his first hoop of the mite to give the Hillies a three point lead and they held it for the remainder of the game. Cunha and Pete Pom- ponio featured for the winners while Snug and the floor work of George Stankevich was outstanding for the losers. Last nights score:

Providence Reds
 At New Haven

New Haven, March 16 = The Providence Reds, still uncertain of their first place status. will provide the opposition for the New Haven Eagles at the Arena on, Sunday night. It will mark their final ap- pearance here this season.
 Perched at the helm of the Can- Am standing, the Reds afe by no means assured of their berth since the competition in the closing weeks of the season has been of a most keen nature and it is possible that a complete reversal may take place among the three leading clubs. namely the Reds. Beavers and Cubs. Undoubtedly it will be the aim of the New Haven Eagles to remove their bitter rivals from the top spot of the league.

A protest filed immediately after last nights 25-24 victory of the Chase team over the Ansonia White Flashes had to be disposed of this morning by committee of high school coaches, including Will liam K. Schofield of Crosby, James W. Lee of Wilby and Louis F. Laun of Leavenwofth who agreed on a decision this morning in favor of the Chase team as finalists to- night. Ansonia had protested the manner in which official timer, Robert Kiersted had handled the watch in connection with the tim ing of the Chase-Ansonia game. alleging that the time of the final period was cut short. The protest committee decided there were no authoritative grounds for the pro- test, which was overruled.
 Laun's Verdict
 Louis Laun, Leavenworth high coach and a member of the protest committee, was unable to be pres ent at the protest meeting this morning in Bill Schofield's office, but sent his decision by pen and ink. It follows:
 Tournament Director:
 Sorry not to be able to get over. Called in to take over an emergency class this period. The situation, as I understand it. Official timer, who has had charge of numerous games constantly annoyed by rooter in this particular game. Game ended to the satisfaction of the referee.
 Had there been difference of more than one point. the team pro- testing would not have considered the protest. There is nothing to show that the timer in any way could favor the winning team if the referee inspected the watch and was satisfied that the timer performed his duty in an able man. ner. To me it appears that an en- thusiastic rooter would want dis honest timing to favor his team.
 LOUIS LAUN
 Not So Coed
 Though the game was close from start to finish, the basketball dis played was not of first class va riety. Ralph Santopietro with 12 points stood out for the winner, with Seipkowski of Ansonia carry ing his teams burden throughout. The score:

NAUCATUCK WILL ENTER TRACK TEAM
 IN WESLEYAN MEET

Naugatuck, March. 16 - About a dozen track athletes will represent Naugatuck high at an interscholas- tic meet to be held at Wesleyan college in Middletown on March 24. The local athletes have been practicing for this affair and indi- cations are they will try to make fine showing. Naugatuck's track teams have seldom rated on a par with it's teams in other sports but they have usually done quite well considering the competition faced and the comparative lack of mater ial.
 Just at present there is an un- usual Hull in sports activities at the high school. The weather has not yet been conducive to outdoor base ball work but Coach Foley today said that just as soon as the Rec reation field gets in shape, practices will be held there.
 More baseball activity is expect ed next week. With the advent of warmer weather interest in 1t is ex. spected to be keen.
