';stalling" and generally befoggine
the issue, were whirled back at the
knights Of Lithuania speedboys by
Manager Ed Fitzpatrick Of the
Loew-Poli basketball combination,
which knocked off the western,
Jacksons, bridgeport city champions
in comparatively easy fashion last
night by a 1873 count. The Liths
demand for 500 guarantee to play
q game on the stage Of the tlaeater
Is. what has Manager Fitzpatrick
particularly incensed, as may be
judged from the following letter to
the writer. -
Tcrrington Next
In the meantime, plans have gone
right ahead for the next contest
ON the stage, the Torrington Full
Fashions, conquerors Of tl-s Water
bury. Boys Club Cadets, Waterbury
Olympics, Middletown Speedboys, st.
Johns of New Haven, q. 8. Rubber
and Naugatuck Chemical, Thomas
ton American Legion and Hulps
Collegians Of New Haven. Jim
Tracy of Waterbury, ex-Wilby high
school star plays regularly with the
New City combine.
Relative to the 500 guarantee
asked by the Liths, the Poll man
agement may pay that amount If
they can get the same in a return
game ON the K. Of L. court, or
play the latter team, winner take
all on a neutral floor. Mr.. Fitz-
patrick,s Inissiye Of today, via early
mail, follows: >

Mr.. John Cluney,
Evening Democrat,
Waterbury, Conn.
Dear john
Picked up The Democrat last
night, and was surprised at the
clever way the knights Of Lithu-
ania, through their spokesman, John
StankuS, are eradeavoring to evade
the direct challenge, which was CIV
en- to them, for q game on the stage
Of the Loew Poll tfeater, against
the Poll Big "5".
