 Game Saturday

NAINasuci, Jan. e-The Nauea-
 Ic|N Elgh school basketball team, Nllnnen by . decisive defeat by its Nld rival, Crosby High Saturday aiHlit at the Naugy ''Y", to-day was wolnting for its game Wednesday mI&ht with Gilbert High of Win- Mt1N nt the local "Y".

The visitors, on &fe hhOrt end at half time, l6-13, 1ssplayed nice passing game in 4Re last half to triumph 34-22.
 CIose First Half
 Crosby had . considerable height ndwantage and were heftier but in the frst half they missed many n11otS for the hoop while the Garnet players were caging the majority of their fewer tries. Naugatuck got &ke jump but toward the end of the 1irst period Crosby went ahead and Nnaigy tied at 7-all just before the period ended. Baskets by Sweeney and Allen gave the Garnet the lead tn the second period and they clung 70 it until half time.
 The situation was entirely re- Ncrsed in the second half. With Murphy, Bedell and Pranskitis find- ing the hoop and Crosby passing xianB around the home team, the Blue and White shot into lead from which they were never headed. The Naugatuck team was swept off ats feet by the suddenness of this attack and never found itself again. The Garnet players were tossing wildly and shooting just as poorly.
 Two Hoops in Two Periods
 BartosinslSi was the only Garnet player to score . field goal in the third period and Myles Sweeney who led Naugatuck in scoring, toss cd In the only Naugy field goal in Che final period.
 Garner, Crosby's negro star, play ed fine bail in this half, caging sev- cral shots and preventing many Naugatuck scores by taking the ball oK the blackboard, and also using his long reach to break up passes.
 The locals were in the second hals far from the form they had shown in their first four triumphs.
 The Naugatuck second team staged 6 rally near the end of the 1lrst half to come from behind and they clearly outplayed Crosby in the second half, winning 34-2l. Ed- incrds, Farrar and Mazanski played well for Naugatuck while Gibbs and Bedell were the Crosby highlights. Score:

ENLARGED YMCAI
 SENIOR B. B.LOOP PLAYS TUESDAY
Triple Header Booked for ActiOn-Many Stars in
 Ten Team Circuit
RY THE "Yn CLuBBER

@OD@~e@N~
 With an increase in number as well as games each week, the "" Senior Basketball League will re- sume play tomorrow night, with
 five games scheduled for the week. Last weeks meeting of the board of managers saw four new teams admitted to the circuit, they being Comites, Black Knights, Collegians and Paramounts. The Black Knights are composed of many Dusty League" players, such as Norling and Hudobuenko.
 Big Aid
 Hudobuenko is leading the Dusty League this year in scoring and should prove Q great asset to the team. However, he probably will not be needed for the first games as the Knights play Joe Kenny's weak Kenosha outfit, which lost their last game to Q four man team. In the Comites' lineup is Jack Lawlor who saw service with Crosby Con the bench) last year. Lawlor is receiv- ing a great build up from his team mates but 1t is doubtful if he will improve their playing. In last weeks Dusty League, he failed to score and he was playing against many of the same players he will meet in the "" loop. The Collegians and Para mounts haven't l11uc hto offer.
 This weeks games have lot to offer. Starting of on Tuesday with the Psi Phi Thetas and the ores playing at 2 o'clock, followed by the Tri-Y, Collegians game and finish- ing up with the Centrals- Paramount game at g o'clock.
 .,. Standouts .,
 In the first game the teams are about evenly matched, both teams having a star. On the ore team is Ed Kaminsky, high scorer for the league, while the Thetas have Don Daly who also has 8 good eye. The second game brings together two old rivals (for cellar position) from the Junior league: the Tri-Y and the Collegians. The Tri-Y has a nice team this year with Gene Sweeney and Don Mcintosh, while the Col legians have Steve Meleske. In the last game, Paramounts vs Centrals, a dark horse (the Paramounts) will be seen. What they have to offer and what their line up will be is unknown. However, they meet a strong Central team out to defend their title.
 On Thursday the remaining games for the week will be played. The first game, Kenoshas vs Black Knights, offers little to the specta- tor due to the superior strength of the Knights. However, the next and main game should make up for the poor first game offered with the spartans meeting the Comites. Both teams are strong and evenly match ed, and although the Comites won the junior championship last year, they meet a team which won its lsat game with four men after los. ing their fifth on personals. Whe. ther the Spartans will duplicate re. mains to be seen.

HELEN WILLS MOODY
 IN NET MARATHON

San Francisco, Jan. 6.--(UP).- For no particular reason Mrs. Hel- en Wills Moody, the tennis player, and her professional instructor, Howard Kinsey, are going to see how long they can keep a tennis ball in motion sometime this week.
 Kinsey said he believed they would be able to bat the ball back and forth a couple of thousand times without . break. It probably would be a world record, he said. He didn't know who would keep count.
 Mrs. Moody said 1t would be a good way to keep in condition but admitted the idea probably would start new form of marathon.

MACK RECEIVED .S35O,OOO FOR 4
 ATHLETIC STARS
Al NiemeC Goes to As; CrOnin Has Problem to
 Distribute Talent
RY FRANK MuRPHY


 United Press Stan CoFresp0ndent)
 Boston, Jan. 6-(UP)-Visions uf Boston's first baseball championship since 1918 seemed more than Q pipe dream today as the names of Shortstop Eric McNair and Outfleld- CT Roger Cramer were added to the rostetr of Tom Yawkey's million. dollar Red Sox.
 Purchase of McNair and Cramer from the Philadelphia Athletics was announced over the weekend, con- flrming reports that had persisted since the big league meetings when the Red Sox acquired another pair of Connie Mack's aces, First base- man Jimmy Foxx and Pitcher John- ny Marcum.
 New Record
 The $350,000 paid Mack for the quartet represented the biggest money deal in baseball history. Tn addition, the Red Sox gave the As two unproductive pitchers, Henry Johnson and Gordon Dusty Rhodes; George Savino, rookie catcher, and Al Niemiec, rookie in- fielder. Part of the deal was trans acted in 1895 and the others tn 1886, 1t was understood, so Mack's income tax payments would be frightened.
 The addition of McNair fairly loaded" the Red Sox with infield talent ;that of Cramer packed the club with 300 hitters; and the twain seemed to put Boston Q few jumps ahead os the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians as the team for the championship De- troit Tigers to beat.
 With Manager Joe Cronin, Foxx, McNair, base-stealing Bill Werber, and Oscar Melillo available for in- field duty, not to omit Babe Dahl- gren and bib Williams, one fans guess was as good as another's as to makeup of the inner guard. That's Joe Cronin's problem" Gen. eral Manager Eddie Collins re- marked.
 Looks Good
 Cramer, who rapped out 2l4 hits in 644 trips for .S32 average last season, combines with the veteran HReinie Manush, recently acquired from the Washington Senators, to give the Red Sox two-thirds of a Slugging outfleld. The third out fielder will be selected from MFcl Armada, Dusty Cooke, or Arthur tSkinny) Graham, promising rookie.
 With Rick Terrell doing the catching the Red Sox now appear to be strong in every department but pitching. Bob (Lefty) Grove, Yves Terrell and Johnny Marcunl, who won a total of 62 games last season, will need hurling help which may or may not be provided by Johnny Welch, Lefty ostermeuller and Jack Wilson.
 It wouldn't surprise if Tom Yaw- key, who buys baseball bric-a-brac the way some millionaires buy a titan or a tintoretto, digs into his pocket once more to make those l936 Red Sox a "sure thing"

LOCAL CONCERN
 WINS DECISION
American Brass Victor in Land Fued Over We.
 hicle Department

An old fashioned land feud be- tween the state department of mo- tor vehicles and the American Brass company, in which the local concern emerged victorious, resulted last week from the disclosure that the inspection lane on Thomaston ave- nue encroached on Brass company property, 1t became known today.
 After protests by the company and measurements by engineers of the state department of motor vehicles, one of the sheds housing the ap- paratus used in testing cars was moved about a foot nearer the high way. The shed which brought about the dispute, according to The Dem- ocrat's informant, is the last in line, driving north on Thomaston avenue. The remainder of the ap- paratus was found by surveyors to be on state property.
 The controversy of last week is the second in which the motor ve- hicle testing station has become in- volved since the system was insti- tuted here last year. Located orig inally on Freight street, the lane was moved to its present site this year when city officials received pro- tests on the Freight street location, which 1t was claimed. constituted a traffic hazard. Opponents of the Freight street site held that lines of cars waiting their turns at the sheds and turning around when inspec- tions had been completed created 8 dangerous congestion.

Orange street, was ordered held um- der bonds of $1,OO0 for a hearing Monday. Judge Edward Mascolo refused Q recommendation made on behalf of the accused that bond be fixed at $500.
 Stating that the offense charged to Shulkin was more serious than that of the two lads, Judge Mascolo reduced their bond from $1,000, the figure set yesterday, to $500 each. The two youths, Frank Mahoney, IT, of IS Lafayette street, and John Charpinski, 19, of IA Lafayette street, will also be tried Monday. They were arrested Thursday night by motor patrolmen when allegedly caught removing metal from the American Brass Co. plant.
 Shulkin was arrested last night by Lieut.. Detective William Pol- lard, Detective Sergt. Henry John son and Detective Joseph Bendler. The officers reported that they found copper stolen from the Am erican Brass Co. in Shulkin'S ware house. Bronze goods found at the warehouse were identified by Spec ial Officer Jerry Mccarthy as being the property of the New Haven Railroad.
 Several counts may be lodged against Shulkin when he is arraign- ed Monday, detectives stating that their investigation would be con- tinued over the weekend.
