NAUCY Y VOLLEY
 BALL TEAM WON
Hartford Netmen Lose Four of Five Matches
 in Borough

Naugatuck, Jan 24--The Nauga- tuck "" yolley ball team turned back a fighting Hartford "" team Saturday afternoon at the local Y. M. c. A. winning four matches out of five. The scores of the games were: 15-10, 15-9, 15-17, 17-15, 15-13.
 All the games were long and points were hard to get. Nauga. tuck presented formidable team, and although their lineup was changed often, the new players filled the positions in able style. The local attack was too severe for Hartford. Hassel, Halloway, Baker and Abramson were especially se- were in driving the ball down.
 Standout.
 The Hartford team showed a youth, who with q couple of more years experience should rate among the best in the state. The main weakness in Naugatuck's play was insufficient steadiness in service on the part of some of the players who were trying the overland ser vice. This service is harder to handle than one delivered under hand. but control of 1t is. far from certain.
 Fritz Klambt referred most of the match. Players with Nauga- tuck were: Fred Baker, George Halloway, Whitaker, Carl Hassell, Fred Ashmore, Joseph Smith, Elton Abramson, Frank Squires, Will Baxter, Joe Valinches and Idris Alderson.
 This Is the second time Nauga- tuck has beaten Hartford out of three matches played this year. Another contest will be played in Hartford later in the season.

NSbbsNu ANS
 Miami, Fla, Jan B. (UP)--Bar- ney Ross of Chicago and Frankie klick of San Francisco fight here tonight for the Junior welterweight championship of the world, and sitting in judgment of their efforts will be two judges who will be either CD an cx-bootlegger @ q lawyer who defended Al Capone (3). sports goods salesman (4) q politician (5) a real estate sales man, or (6) q man about town.
 These are the occupations of the six judges named by the athletic commission. Two will be chosen, just before Ross and klick enter the ring, to work the bout. That is, unless Ray Cariin. Klick's man ager, out-argues the commission when he meets the officials at Wcighing-ln today,
 MT Carlin wants professional judges hired. He wants no part of the amateur critics. Unfortunately for MT CarliD, the lax Miami box ing code. calls for judges chosen at random from the body polite. Any Miami citizen of voting age who packs the proper political pull, ia eligible to judge a fight There are no eligibility rules.
 If you are q fighter, you may be judged by tire vulcanizer, a cit rus grove salesman, banker, or d left-handed plumber. The judges work for nothing. They go in on Annie Oaklcys. The fact that they may not be able to, distinguish u left hook from Il right uppcrcut makes no difference.
 They tell the story----and won't youch for it---that not so long ago there was Il fight here, and at the finish. ono of the judges was asked for his slip. He said he didn't have one, and when they asked him why, he said he had lost his pencil In the excitement of the first round.
 Incensed. the athletic commis- sion passed n rule at it's next meet ing which required judges to carry two pencils
 Today. when Mir Carlin takes his boy down to get weighed in (and hell come in at about 135 1-2) he Will ask the commission to provide competent Judges.
 Its not because I diStrust any of the amateur judges" MT Carlin iolu lIlS t}UIlFu TebH. not that. But this fight means more than any fight Kllck ever had and l want the best judges avail able. Listen, we've worked for this bout like we never worked before. It's the crossroads for Frankie, If he wins it. he'll get not only the junior welterweight title. but il shot at Ross lightweight title. And that's what we want. There fore, shall demand that tho off, cials be experienced men, and not a bunch of merchants who. no matter how honest they may be. don't stand to know prlzenghtlng
 MT Carlin doesn't know 1t, but he isn't going to get to first base. Tho commission, after letting him rant and roar for proper interval. will tell him to scram, as the boys In our set say.
 Now for the fight itself: Ross will weigh t36 1-2. KIick 135. Ross will wear purple pants, Klick black, Ross Is n z to , fayorlte.

trancnlScB 4lrcaQy nave been sold in the eight cities which will compose the league. The eight cities and the purchasers of the franchises in each city follow:
 PhIladelphIa--Bill Tilden.
 Boston--Ellsworth Vines.
 New York-BilI o'Brien.
 Buffaio-Charles Murray.
 Chicago-George Lott.
 Cleveland-Tom Mckee.
 St. Louis-Karl Hodge.
 Detroit--Dave Cole.
 Three Turned Down
 Each franchise sold for $1,000. Three other cities, Brooklyn, Provi- dence and Pittsburgh, attempted to get in the circuit, but O'Brien said it was decided to make the league an 8-club affair. The league will be divided into two groups, east and west, and the winners of the two divisions will meet in a tennis world series" The regular season will consist of about 100 matches during the months of June, July, August and September.
 "he matches probably will be played about 5:30 each afternoon. Some of them will be played at tennis clubs, and others at base ball parks. Each franchise owner will have the privilege of determin- ing where the matches will be played in hls city.
 The Big Idea
 The present plan is to have three players on each team. The eight leading professional players VII be placed In a hat, and each city will draw a player. The nexN eight players will be placed in 8 hat, and another draw held. The s@me will apply for the eight class c players.
 At the present time O'Brien ranks TildeI, Lott, Vines, Stoefen, Nusslein. Cochet, Plaa and Rich ards as the eight best professionals in the world. If Fred Perry of England turns professional as ex- pected next year, he will be in- cluded in the class A group, and one player dropped to the class B ranks.
 Daily Competition
 Each match will consist of two singles and one doubles engage ment each day, according 10 pres ent plans. Admission prices prob ably will be one dollar, fifty cents and twenty-five cents.
 T expect we'll lose money the first year." said O'Brien, but we will lay the foundation for popular iZing tennis with the masses. AL ready we have done much to make the public tennis conscius with the winter tours. The main objection to tours of the kind we are on now Is that they don't mean anything, whoever wins a match. A league would give the players more in- centive for victory"
 No Big Money
 O'Brien said the first year player salary limit of $200 a week will be imposed to keep some of the club owners from making the mistake the Federal Baseball League and the National Profess sional Football League made when they started with wild bidding for the best players.
 "This will cut down the over- head and give each club q chance to get the best available talent at the same price as any other club" O'Brien said. "Then the league will have 0 better chance to succeed"
 That the country is ready for professional tennis is proved by the success of the winter tours the past few years. This years tour already has drawn over $8O,0O0 in 12 engagements since 1t started in New York Jan. 9. Last year Vines and Tilden and two minor players drew over $300,000 from Jan. 10 to May 9.
