CLAvERS TAKE ON WEST SIDE COMBINATION
Strong Prelim at 8:l5 P, M.-Dancing to Follow
 Games

West End basketball fans, con- vinced that they have a local cham pionship contender in the Speed- boys, coached by Henry Caring ton will see some real hoop class tonight at the central Y. M. c. A. when the Claver All Stars from St. Peters parish, Brooklyn, N. Y, make their third Waterbury show ing of the season in a benefit game and dance which will get underway at SIS o'clock. The visitors, who claim the colored Catholic cham pionship of the country, have a real high-geared hoop array which split a pair of games with the local K. of L. club to date, losing by but four points after a 20-point deficit at half time in their last appearance.
 Promising
 The game should be exceedingly fast, with some sensational shooting on the part of both units, and is one of the best hoop setup of the season and though the Speedboys will be underdogs to their older and more experienced opponents, they are capable of putting on quite a hoop show themselves, having won IT straight games throughout the season. In Stewart, Isles and John son, local fans will be looking at as smooth a trio as they have seen this season, members of 8 club which played and won five games in single day during the present season.
 Prelim, Dancing
 Columbian Squires and Blessed Sacraments, natural rival in Water bury, are booked for the preliminary game, at 8:15 o'clock with dancing to follow the main go, to the music of Jack Fitzgerald's band. Pro- ceeds of the game will help pay hospital expenses for Joe Runividge and Russ Mclean, two regular who were hurt during early season games in which the West Sides par ticipated.

ARMSTRONCP|NS FIRST KAY0 ON LEW EEL ) M A N
Feather Champ Bothered By Boxing of New York=
 er-ROss Stock Rises

New York, March 31-(UP)- Featherweight Champion Henry Armstrong had another knockout victory on record today, but fight critics predicted a rough time for him when he meets welterweight champion Barney Ross here May 26.
 Hurricane Hennery" kayoed Lew Fsldman, New York veteran, in the fifth round of the feature bout on tho Hippodrome's benefit program last night for Charley Lynch, boxing official who died in January.
 Almost 5000 watched in amaze ment as Feldman's jumping jack tactics completely bewildered the negro feather champion from Los Angeles who missed six times as many blows as he landed. Armstrong blasted Lew through the ropes and onto the ring apron for a nine count in the first round, but could not finish him.
 Down Again
 Again in the fourth, a left hook to the chin sent the Brooklyn boy to the canvas for nine, and when he got up he was helpless, but Henry didn't land haymaker until 1:51 of the fifth. It was the first time Fcldman had ever been down for the full count in almost decade of prize fighting. It was Armstrong'S 35th knockout in his last 37 bouts.
 Feldman got up from his first round knockdown and won the sec- ond round by superior boxing. They fought on even terms in the third, but Feldman had shot his bolt and after his knockdown in the fourth he was helpless. Armstrong rained blows on him with oth hands un- til he located the button in the fifth.
 Tough Job
 If Armstrong can be puzzled by a boxer of Feldman's caliber, he can hardly hope to jump the lightweight division and snatch the welter crown from Ross, because Ross is probably the cleverest man in the ring today. And, if Ross can wealth CT as much heavy leather as he ab- sorbed in defending his title against Ceferino Garcia last fall, he should be able to withstand Arrnstrong's barrage and win on points.

leagues is important, and that he feels his paper would not be "the baseball paper of the world" if my contribution were missing.
 Frankly, I can't figure MT. Brands out. Where has he been all these years? Has he spent the last 10 years of his life, when was busy establishing myself as the original fog bound forecaster, as 8 Trappist monk? Hasn't he spoken to anyone and hasn't anyone spoken to him? Or has he mad on with the owners of his paper and decided to ruin the sheets reputation in one fell fell swoop? Or is MT. Brands, with out my knowledge, under some deep obligation to me and feels as if he must include me in the group of knowing experts?
 Whatever the reason, MT. Brands request has given my morale the biggest shot in the arm since that time on the train when the conduc- tor told Mama that I was big enough and enough of a man to start paying full fare. I have been walking cround the Tampa Terrace hotel, where all the baseball experts are quartered, with chin held high and my chest out. stop all the ex- perts and, whipping out MT. Brands request, say:
 "Didja get letter from Brands? Guess I better answer it, huh? Wants to run what I think about the teams this year in his magazine. No, no drink for me. Think I'll run up to my room and run over my notebooks and make my selections" l"
 am not going to tell MT. Brands that I picked the Washington Sen- ators and St. Louis Cardinals to win last year. No use worrying him, and besides if he's an editor it's his business to choose his own talent. After all, I didn't write him trying to sell my selections. He made the first move and it's his own lookout from now on.
 In running through my notebooks I had terrible time separating my little memos. Side by side with a note on Rulings new curve ball would be tile address of fried chicken joint, and all tangled up with the outfield prospects of the Red Sox there would be the home address of 8 captain who could al- ways find where the tarpon were running and 8 new remedy for sun burn.
 AS a result got all confused and sent MT. Brands a set of predictions that, as well as remember, had the Phillies coasting home in the Ma tional and the Browns winning by five games in the American.
 Unless I miss my guess that will bring MT. Brands to his senses and make him more careful of his cor- respondence. Copyright, 1888, by United Press)

RECREATION RUMBLES

The Giant-Tigers match was one of the best of the match games seen this year. It brought together two brothers on opposite sides, Bobby Hamel and Rudy Hamel. The Giants won the first game cos to 525 (6O8 is second high team single) The Tigers then came back strong and took the second game 579 to 531 to make it even. The Giants proved the best team when they copped the last game 513 to 483. These two teams, by the way, had been tied three consecutive weeks and now the Giants lead the Tigers by one game and six more games to roll.
 The Cubs took sweet revenge and also two games from the highly touted Braves in two close contests. Brick was high man for the Cubs and Alderman and Manzo were the Braves best.
 With Rinaldi and Piedmonte roll ing in fine shape, the Red Sox took the Yankee array two games. Mo- Hugh and Paternoster were the high scorers for the Yankees.
 After winning the first game by three pins and losing the second by ten, the Pirates came back strong in the third game to win by 17 pins. Keating rolling 364 was in rare form Chabot and Masi were the Athletic stars.

 Tampa, Fla, March 31-A MT. E. G. Brands of the Sporting News, a weekly which advertises itsell as The baseball paper of the world,' has written and asked that I send him my major league selections for the 1888 season.
 MT. Brands must be in earnest, and not pulling some sort of gag on me, because he enclosed self addressed envelope all equipped with a fresh stamp, and branded with this important lettering:
 "Rush to the Sporting News. This envelope for quick action"
 So you can see that MT. Brands really wants my choices, and wants them in hurry. It is apparent he believes that what I have to say about the National and American
