Chase And Wordens In Crucial Game At "" Tonight

One of the outstanding games of the Industrial league season is on the books for this evening at the central Y. M. c. A. court when the Chase company squad, winners of the Democrat state tournament last season and the Worden outfit, state Industrial league champions of 1933-34 meet in the feature game of double header, scheduled to start at 8:30 o'clock.
 First Game
 An hour or so earlier the Scovill and Waterbury Clock teams will take the floor in which shapes up as ding dong battle from the first whistle to completion of the game. Chase has been leading the circuit to date with Wordens and U. s. Rubber of Naugatuck, but one game behind. All of which means that win for Wordens tonight will knock Chase out of the sole leadership of the league thus far in the season.
 Dancing will follow the pair of games, the basketball contests to be officiated by Don Post.

Bill Gaughan, who ha0 littIe 10 worry about, said that it was great while 1t lasted. Jack Dwyer, who happens to be a little deaf was glad of the fact. That eliminated the Irish-Americans.
 One of the principal questions circulated seemed to be: "who real- VI owns the Sacred Hearts? The managers were presented with a letter from the Silent A. A. of Manchester who were formerly entered in the circuit under the name of the Hearts. They asked for the $12.O0 due them on their franchise, meaning that the fran chise was theirs. John Howard, vice-president and acting chairman stated that he was the owner. II is something that will have to bs thrashed out between the Man. chester team and the Hearts and brought to the attention of the managers at the next meeting. N is known that regardless of who has the franchise $13.00 has al- ready been refunded to, the Silent Men and this amount must be made up somewhere.
 Money Men? Charges of professionalism were hurled at the Irish by George V. Casey of the Washington Hills Gaughan, who actually heard, ths remark retaliated and replied that
 there was nothing on the Sham rocks books that allowed for pay ing basketball players. Casey fur
 ther charged the Irish Americans as being social club and not ath- letic in spirit or manner and that | fhnVy vNt tfv,r nkk

 that two of the teams should be | dropped at the completion of the first series and recommended the Irish as one. On the latter charge

 Sure would" I answered, pleas ed with the opportunity of getting first hand information of the new racing machine.
 He led me to a window of the building and, in a voice like that of diamond merchant exhibiting the Kohinorr, said:
 "Look!"
 Mysterious!
 Tucked away in a distant corner, comletely covered save for Occa- sional bright blue patches by a heavy tarpaulin, was an object that might have been a dozen ice-boxes, a row of coffins or a winters SUD- ply of kindling wood.

 Sir Malcolm also is great mind changer. He can say yes and no, and vice versa, faster, and more often, than a prima donna with a poodle dog.

 It was this situation that finally forced MT William Sturm to ex- treme measures. As CampbelPi spokesman, MT Sturm was yessine and no-ing all over the place, and the gentleman of the press were highly annoyed. So, Mir Sturm sal down and created . new word "nes."
 Thereafter Mir sturm anfswered all queries with . firm, polite "nes."

New York, Jan 8.-UP)-Mr William Sturm, American charge d'affaires for Sir Malcolm Camp lbell and creator of that most sing llllar word 'nes," was in today and n excited1y sat him down and began belaboring him with questions in regard to Campbelps coming shot nt his own worlds speed record.
 When was he coming over? Was this to be his last ride down Daytona's Beach, and was his heart set on 300? Had that gall liant if snorting old lady, Bluebird. been tuned up to do 300 or better? What happened to his plan to make run over Salt Lakes crunchy surface and was 1t true kh6t Lady Campbell would watch From Daytona's dunes this time?
 Mir Sturm proved very disap- pointing. He didn't know when Campbell was coming over. It might be late January, and then 1t might be early or late February. He couldn't say for sure whether Campbell had made up his mind to make this his last rendezvous with death, or whether 300, 325, pr 400 was his goal. All he knew about the new Miss Bluebird was that she had four wheels in the rear to better her traction, that these wheels were enclosed in the body ito better the stream-lineing, that her motor was the same hush- hush Rolls-Royce, and she was F3igger'n hell"
 Tho best could get out of him regard to Salt Lake was that the plan to attempt New worlds speed record over dried-up lake Mas just "one of those things" The only thing he was at all sure about was that Lady Campbell would be a member of the party Alnis year. having broken the reso- 1ution she made in 1928 never to watch her husband make, and Keep. q date with disaster.

LESSON 1.-The Stance
 The main point to bear in mind is to feel at ease when addressing a shot. (See photograph p. Face your shot squarely, holding the butt of the cue about twelve inches from the end with your hand touching your right hip and the feet in the position as shown.
 Then turn to the right, or to- ward the cue, leaving the right foot where it was and letting the right hand hold the cue where 1t was originally. Now you are in the position shown in photograph number 3.

 GETS DUBLTNSKY
 ROSS TITLE CHANCE
Plan Promises ChicagOan Shot at Junior Welter
 Crown

Both Harry Dublinsky and Lou Ambers, who clash in a scheduled ten rounder, Friday night, at Mad ison Square Garden. are in hard training. The former, who ar- rived from Chicago yesterday, will do his stun at Stillman's and Am- bers will continue hard work at the Pioneer. They will appear be. fore the Boxing Commission at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon for physical examinations. The weight of the match calls for 1140 pounds at two o'clock on the afternoon of battle.
 Two more tens, one eight and four round opener complete the card, one of the best arranged by Promoter Jimmy Johnston. Lew Feldman clashes with Petey Hayes in a rubber contest, each having beaten the other, and Indian Quin- tana meets Jo lei Ken in a return bout. Leonard Del Genio, whom a great many predict will ascend the top rung of the lightweight ladder by 1936, meets a sturdy foe In Frankie Wallace, of Cleveland The curtain raiser will bring to- gether Pat Robertson, an Arowak Indian and Lew Monte, of South Brooklyn.
 Upon the arrival of Dublinsky came the information from the lips of manager Jack File that a man who is most anxious to see Ambers beaten is Sam Plan, cham pion Barney Ross pilot. Ambers. 1t will be recalled, was named No. 1 challenger for the title. Ross Is not anxious to fight the little human windmill Ambers for more reasons than "Wild" Bill Lyons has toupees. "If Dublinsky whips Ambers," promises Pian," he can have a shot for the junior welter title with Ross. So let Harry knock him out if he possibly can."
 The last time Dublinsky fought in the Garden he turned back Tony Falco, who had previously whipped Young Peter Jackson. This will not be only Ambers' first star bout but his initial appear ance in the amphitheatre.
 The Herkimer Cyclone, or Am. bers, owns a wonderful record consting of Al victories in AZ starts. He has whipped Tony Herrera, Johnny Jadick, Billy Hogan, Young Firpo, Roger Barnard, Paris Apice twice, Coco Kid. He has scored kayos over such good boys as Billy Lynch, 4 rounds; Jackie Davis, 4; Tommy Baschair, 2; Eddie Dempsey, 3; Mickey Paul, 40 seconds, and Philly Rafferty, 2. He has been boxing four years. He is 21 years. His height Is 5 feet 5 inches. He can easily make 135 pounds. He turned the tables on the only man who licked him in the "pro" ranks, one Steve Halai- ko. In the amateur ranks Ambers lost only one decision. in 50 bat ties.

Remember, you are to leave your right hand holding the cue on the same line 1t was originally, as shown in photographs numbers 2 and 8. In bending over, place the cue in your bridge hand and lean forward until your eyes are directly over the cue which is in line with your shot. This position Is shown in photograph number 4.
