 The Columbian Squire Circle, No. 124, of Waterbury, Conn, has just completed one of its most suc- cessful weekend trips of the year. Starting on Saturday night, the Squires took over Jimmy Lees Wilby reserve team by q score of 12 to 10. This game was a nip and tuck affair all the way through and the winner of the game was not de- cided until the last few seconds of the game. The star of the game turned out to be Charlie Cornell, Squires star center. in the last two minutes of the game Charlie put in the tying basket and then fol- lowed 1t up quickly with another twin counter to win the game for the Squires, while on Sunday the entire Columbian Squire bask etball team along with Coach "Ebby" Conlan, Physical Counselor John Martin. Counselor James Kelley and Chief Counselor Pat" Wal lace took over the high powered Squire outfit of New York, who up till that time had not lost game this year. In the first game the local Midget team won over the Midgets of New York by score of 15 to 8. The all around playing of Bobby Carr and the great defensive work of Jack Kelley and Johnny Slavin stood out for the local boys. While in the second game the varsity took over the New York varsity to the tune of IS to 8, the star of this contest was Hook" Dubuque, and Jimmy McGraw.
 Good Time
 Some of the high lights of the trip are: A visit through Radio City. a visit to Chinatown, Carey riding up and down the elevator. Joe Stevens trying to make all the pretty girls in town. Bobby Carr, looking up at the Empire State building and says it is just like the Apothecaries Hall building. John Lynch making his debut to the New York court fans and how?

Naugatuck, Jan. 3.--A strong second half rally enabled the Naugy high hoop team to trim Gil- bert high basketball five of Win. sted last night at the local "Y" by q 46-32 score, thus averaging one- point defeat handed them in Win sted by the same team last week. The surprise of yesterdays game was the shooting of Anderson, Gar net left forward, who garnered Is points.

CAUCHAN STATUS
 WITH IRISH CLUB
 CAUSES QUESTION
League Officials In sist Only one Schedule in
 FOrce--B. A. C. Ready
BY HENRY McGRATH

Relative to all of the controver- sy between William Gaughan and the public in general over the coming Irish American and Brook Iyn tilt at the Central Y. M. c. A. on Sunday afternoon, league off1- cials stated today that the sched- ule has not been arraigned to their satisfaction indicating to the hles of the evening sheets published on Tuesday, December 4th in which the said schedule was published. It is the same listing that was pre- sented to the managers at the cir- cult meeting on Monday. Decem. Der 3rd. the day after the ofhcial league opening. This schedule, IS of course on the up and up anu its fairness cannot be questioned: The more skeptical members of the following of either club would find the schedule should they buy a back copy for the date men toned.
 There has been no alarm caused in the Brooklyn section of the town, which cradles one. of the teams. The fact Is that the B. A. c. is anxious to meet the Irish and the situation seems to be one-sided. The fact that Gene Sweeney is at Villanova doesn't seem to be sufficient reason for the cancellation of the tilt. Let it be said that upon one occasion the Irish had 12 players on the floor in their practice session before game, proving that there is no de- pression where basketball players are concerned
 Bad Bill
 League officials further state that in the past they have been rather lenient with MT. Gaughan. often referred to as the spokesman and bankroll man of the Irish, but never as their manager. Should the facts be known, when the Irish and Tribunes sought a league franchise last November the officials were the recipients of a letter to the effect that John Dwyer was ap- pointed as manager of the basket ball team. It is strange that in this particular case that Dwyer hasn't been heard from and that public statements have been issued by William Gaughan who even threat. ened to take the team out Of the game. It is true that Gauehan has represented the club at one or two meetings. when Dwyer was not available, but that he was appoint- ed as head of the club has not been certified. Therefore, when Mir. Gaughan occupies seat on the players bench on Sunday along side of Jack Dwyer. he rightfully has no business there. He is spec tator.
 It has been the custom in the past that when an injustice has been done the necessary procedure is an apology and in this case the league officials have been handed something in the way of criticism that they did not deserve. Perhaps MT. Gaughan will see the light.
 In the other games on the schedule the Naugatuck Emeralds will meet the Sacred Hearts at 1880 o'clock and the Thomas club will face the Carringtons at p. m. The main go should start about 2:45 o'clock.

IndIxIdunI Standing,

The Jokers, consisting of Harry Zello, and Fred Gemino, reading from left to right, the "DiZzy'a nd "Daffy" of the league, continued their current spectacular spurt. They made good their boasts and downed the powerful Deuces in two out of three games.
 Before a capacity crowd that filled the historic Y. M. c. A. alleys to overfiowing, the Jokers barely missed making a clean sweep. The second game appeared to be lost by the Deuces by one pin, but Pat Stance demanded recount. The check-up revealed a tie game. and necessitated a roll-off in which Harry Zello slightly skidded and the Jokers were nosed out.
 Harry, however, was the hero of the first game when he made Q spare in the last frame and filled 1t with a strike to win by the slim margin of two pins.
 After losing the second game, the comback staged by the Jokers was remarkable and had the crowd on it's feet throughout the final contest. Gemino's 119 score and Harry's steady pinning were too much for the Deuces to overcome. and they were forced to accept de- feat for the second time in one evening.
 The Aces picked up two games on the league leaders when they took three games from the Jacks
 The Jacks presented their strong. est lineup with Ouimet present and Accousti absent, but still were unable to cope with the Aces pow erhouse attack. Ouimets double strike just made the last game in- teresting.
 The Hearts were right back in their usual shape. This means that the Diamonds were handed three games without murmur of pro- test. Murphy had one of his good nights, but he could have had his worst night and still the results would have been unchanged. The Hearts 157 game and 493 total set two new low records for the league.

Bay State Hits
 New Low Mark

Boston, Jan 3.-(UP)-A new 15-year low for professional box ing in Massachusetts was recorded during 1894 according to figures released at the State House yester- day.
 The figures showed that 302 box ing shows in the state during the year drew but $183960 at the gate for an average of $607 per show.
 The states five per cent tax on receipts netted the boxing com mission $9,198.64, and an addi- tional $9,817 on license fees. On the basis of these figures, Mitchell Hambro, clerk of the commission, thought 1t probable that the com mission operated at loss for the year.
 Nineteen managers, 392 boxers, and eight seconds were suspended during the year.
