cup I'M THE AIR"
SCORES SUCCESS

Showing the results of excellent
stage management and direction,
twelve principal characters and we'll
trained chorus put on the operetta
Cup In The Air" with aplomb and
pace unusual in amateur performances.
Amusing lines, good songs and some
spontaneous acting combined to make
the performance, which was given in
the Hanford high school gymnasium
Saturday evening, delight to the au-
dience. This is the third time that
the Hanford school has attempted to
put the piece on the boards and the
old charm, plus Ralph Backs able di-
rection, seems to have clicked.
The plot of the two acts centered
around the love affairs of Betty Bur-
bank and Harold Post, and Shirley and
jim Betty's father favored red blood
and Drawn in which Harold was lack
ing When Jim, young aviator, out
of-work offered to demonstrate his
abilities as a stunt fiier to amuse the
Burbanks' guests and win position
from movie magnate McCullOm, Harold
offered to do parachute jump as
proof of his bravery What was to have
been a bluff turns into reality in spite
of the efforts of o friend to eXtricate
the pale lvered Harold from his rash
offer, and the most dramatic moment
of the operetta occurred when the hum
Of the propellors was heard and the
players saw him jump. ALL of course,
ended well.
This was the first time most of the
performers had sung before an audi
ence Special mention should be made
of Ivan White who in four days
learned and creditably played and sang
the leading male part.
The cast of the principals was:
Mr.. Burbank, Ray Miller; Mrs. Bur
bank, Jean Griner; Mr.. McCullom, Ray
Clark Mrs McCullom, Margaret Cox
Harold Post, Ivan White; Jim, Elder
Jones; joe Newton Justis; Betty Bur
bank, Rose Krug Shirley, Betty JUS

Leonard And Brown

The desperation whic.I confronts MT Al. Caroly of New Haven while trying to get a boxing card to- gether that will draw a couple of thousand dollars through the box office is evident in his announce ment of Benny Leonard and Chick Brown as four-round exhibition op- ents on the next New Haven Arena card, Thursday, February 28th. It so happens that Al Gain CT, heretofore New Haven favorite and Red Barry of Washington will trade punches in Hartford that same evening but it's dog eat dog in the boxing game and the exper- iment this time is to see whether or not Brown and Leonard will outdraw Gainer and Barry. Like Jack Renault and Nathan Mann, the bout is a strictly New Haven proposition for the former light weight champion and the New Ha- ven lad met IS years ago in the Elm City, the occasion winding up with Brown on the deck when he stuck out his chin while taunting Leonard's hitting ability and all calculated to make him sore enough to forget what he knew about boxing. Brown has fought nothing but his shadow for years, while Benny's effort against Jim my McLarnin was his last noble experiment some two or three years ago. The only interesting angle to the bout will be watching Brown trying to pin "haymaker" on Leonard, who lost the spring in his legs long before he lost his bankroll.

Wlby And Naugatuck
 Meet Tomorrow; LeavenwOrth Loses

Not far from the end of it's reg ular playing season, Wilby and Naugatuck High school basketball squads will tangle tomorrow night at the local gyqmnasium in the out standing high school hoop game of the week. The result will hardly qualify either team for Yale tour nament competition, but first class game can be depended upon as Wilby and Naugatuck players present very few dull moments in any sport. The Wildcats are more than anxious to atone for a 51-14 pasting given them in Bridgeport last Saturday, while Naugatuck considers a win over Wilby or Crosby very much worth while at any time.
 Both Have Threats
 It Is a regularly scheduled Naugatuck Valley League encoun- ter with Wilby having little less to worry about now that Frank Edmonds the borough colored star, Is out of action, having become 20 years of age. In Russ Weaving and Anderson the Wilcat defense will be tested, though, while Freddy Sullivan, Pomponio and Saldukas ought to prove valuable in the Will by scoring. Preliminary to the main game, the two reserve squads of the schools will play, starting at 7:30 o'clock with the big game to go an hour later.
 Crosby basketball players, minus their captain, Joe Joyce who will be laid up for several weeks with an elbow injury, worked out this morning at Wilby gym for their game with Warren Harding at Bridgeport next Tuesday. The post poned game with Ansonia may not be played as it means nothing to either team at this stage of the season.
 Leavenworth High was set back for the second time in two weeks by Gilbert High in Winsted last night. the score ending 45 to 21, Brightman getting seven field goals and evening the series between the teams this year. Pilletto scored six points for Leavenworth. Summary:

The Reymond Hillies chalked up thelr fifth straight in the Brook dyn Y Interclub league last night when they handed the Brooklny Speedboys a 25-20 setback. In the prelim the Falcons were winners over the Town Plot Indies by a 22-16 margin.
 Fouls Help
 Ability to make good in five out of eight foul trys gave the winners their margin of victory as both teams each scored 10 baskets. The Speedboys got off to a flying start and rolled up four points in the first two minutes of play, holding the Hillies scoreless, but the win- ners came back strong and were out in front 12-8 at the end of the first half.
 Some nice shooting by George Stankevich in the final half kept the winners in the lead and baskets by Joe Pomponio and Al Zacks in the last minutes of play kept the Hillies' record in the league un- blemished. Berardi and DiBiaiso featured for the losers, scoring more than half their teams total points. Last nights score:

IIeymond Guard O'DAY, FAMOUS JUMP, NEAR DEATH IN CHI HOSPITAL
Ruled on Famous Merkle "BOner" That Cost
 Giants Pennant

Chicago, Feb 22.-UP)-The eyes that strained through the fast gathering twilight at the Polo Grounds on September 23, 1908. and detected the famed "boner' of Fred Merkle are blinking their last at hospital walls.
 Hank O'Day is precariously ill. The famous old National league umpire, past 75, has been in the Presbyterian hospital three weeks.
 He lives in haze of memory. living famous baseball moments. One of them is that day when his ruling was responsible. virtually alone, for giving the Chicago Cubs a National league pennant and a world championship.
 Remember?
 The New York Giants were play ing the Cubs at the Polo grounds with the pennant at stake. O'Day was behind the plate. The Giants came to bat in the last of the ninth with the score tied.
 With two out, Mccormick on third and Merkle on first, Bridwell singled and Mccormick crossed the plate. The crowd streamed on the field, thinking the game won. but Johnny Evers, Cub second base- man, got the ball and stepped on second base. O'Day had watched Merkle dash for the clubhouse without touching second and allow ed Evers' claim that Merkle was forced out. Thus McCormick's run was nullified and the side retired.
 It was impossible to resume play because of the crowd on the field. In a playoff after the season the Cubs won, Al, and then captured the world title by defeating Detroit in four of five games.

Something New

There are plenty of Waterbury boys and men interesting in swim ing with two of the best teams in the state listed from the Crosby High school and Central Y. M. C. A. but it remained for an Anson- ia "Y" swimmer to show them something new the other night in local meet. It's the butterfly" stroke used in forward swimming and, when perfected. is quite q thing to look at, both arms of it's user coming out of the water, though it's hardly as effective for speed as the Australian or Amer ican crawl strokes. However, It's quite good to look at and novelty, after all, is what keeps the life ill any sport.

Eulogy To a Friend

It was with keen regret that I learned of the passing of Jack Coleman, old time cab bic. His death in q Hartford hospital a few days ago sur praised many of his friends though his health had failed steadily since an accident at his work more than year ago. Pleasant always, and a steady boxing fan, Jack Cole man could be found in George Mulligan's almost anytime and it was thoroughly interesting to hear him discuss in that hearty manner of his, things that he had seen in days gone by and compare them with present day occurrences. A fine character was Jack Cole man. l was proud to know him.

Yale Athletes Travel

A six weks tour of Japan for it's baseball team and a shorter jaunt in the same country by the Yale golfers has been given an o. K. by the Ell athletic authorities for the coming summer. The Japan csc are baseball mad, which accounts for the Yale trip co- incident with that sport, while the golfers will be the guests of Princeton graduate now living in Japan. Perhaps he's paying off a bet on that sur prise win Yale turned in over the Tigers on the football field last fall.
