SACRED HEARTS PLAY TRIBUNES
 IN OTHER CAME
Washington Hill Double- header Booked = First
 Round Nearing Climax

Baldwin Props will do-or-die to- night in their attempt to defeat the Robins of the Washington Park Senior League, in order to remain in the running for first round cham pionship. Victory for the Props will place them in a tie for first place with the Reymond Hillies. At the present they are in second place, tied with the Gents of the Hill, each having lost one game, and won three.
 In the other game the Sacred Hearts will meet the Tribunes, who are apparently out of the running, but who are in 8 position to take advantage of the slightest oppor- tunity for placement. The Sacred Hearts have yet to win a game, but have impressed the crowds by their spirit to win in every tilt. The first round will be completed with the games of January 28 unless a dead- lock for first place develops. Under the present circumstances this is highly probable.
 The Preps- Robbins game will start at 7:3O o'clock with the Tribes and Sacred Hearts meeting in the feature spot.

TERMS SATISFY
 BEES PITCHER
Jim Turner Likely to Earn Salary Running Into
 Five Figures
By ERNEST BARCELLA

Boston, Jan. 17-UP)-Hanging the Monday wash along the New England sports line:
 If there are to be any hold-outs among Boston's two major league clubs, you'll be hearing about them within the next week. The Bees already have put the documents ill the mail The Red Sox are due to follow suit tomorrow or Wednesday
 PleaSantest news for Bees Presi- dent Bob Quinn was a wire from his star freshman pitcher, Jim Turner saying he was pleased with 193e terms. Milknan Jim, who won 20 games his first year in the big time and led the National League in ef- fectiveness, very likely will pull down salary running into five figures.
 Indications are that the Bees key players will be rewarded with raises -. Quinn never cuts players sal ary. It's probable, however, that some of the Red Sox stars who failed to live up to expectations will get cuts.
 Though the B. A. A. marathon is three months of, Arlington Johnny Kelley already nas started condi- tloning work for the grind. He's running three times week. John ny, who won the 1885 race but just missed out the past two years, hopes to come through this time. Next tc himself, he'd like to see Les Pawsor ot PaWtucket, R. l., win the 26-mile 385-yard run.
 Sonia Henie will have something to shoot at when her skating troupe opens a five-day engagement here Feb. 2. Her greatest rival, Bess Ehrhardt, drew 49,892 paid custom CTS for her five performances the past week, That's a new ice car niyal attendance mark for Boston
 Just when it looked as if Wes- leyan had an unbeatable basketball team, along came Amherst Saturday and knocked of the Middletown, Conn, quintet, 41-36. That de- feat snapped a five-game victory string that included 5O-29 triumph over Yale-of all people-in six games, Wesleyan has scored PIT points or fraction better than 46 points per game. Which is fancy shooting in any league.
 Browns two most memorable elevenS-the 1916 Rose Bowl team and the iron man aggregation of l926-are holding a reunion here "wednesday night. They're call ing it touchdown smoker. .. The odds in next months champion ship bout between Joe Louis and Connecticut's Nate Mann are liable to be shorter than you think =. Reason is lot of long-shot boys are laying their cash on MT. Mann.

 quers Santa Clara

Senior College lea que was held Friday night and the first game had to go and extra three minutes to decide the winner Princeton nosed out N. Y. U. 29 to 26 after the finish of the regular game found both teams dead locked g all. Korowotny, played a stellar game while M. Lucas came through with the two winning baskets. A.

FOleymen Impressive in Routing TOrringtOn;
 Fight Mars Contest

Naugatuck, Jan. 17-The Nauga- tuck high school basketball team now in clear possession of the lead of the Naugatuck Valley league, will this week have to maintain the fast pace it has been setting thus far. It meets Warren Harding high tomorrow in Bridgeport and Satur- da.r it faces Wilby high of Wa terbury.
 The local outfit proved last week that it is no "at-home" team when it nosed out Ansonia on the Ansonia floor and trounced Torrington high Saturday night in the New City by a 50-38 score, Harding does not loom as formidable threat being sixth in the league, but local teams have always had trouble in the Wilby gym and the Green has usually been disinct threat to the Garnet. In defeating Torrington, the Fo- leymen showed much improvement over the Ansonia tilt and plenty of class. Naugatuck jumped into the lead and were ahead 1-8 at the end of the first period. The second period was a thriller but at the end of the half, Naugatuck led 25-19. Torrington put on it's main bid in the third period and whittled the Garnet lead so that going into the fourth stanza, Naugatuck led 32-29.
 However, in the final period, the Foleymen began working like a smooth machine and tallied IS points to for their opponents. A fight between Torrington players and spectators marred the final period and police were called in. The game continued after a To- minute delay. The incident occurred with only three minutes left to play. The Garnet Reserves lost to Torrington, 38-30.

Had Struggled Against Fumes But Fell to Floor
 Before Gaining Door
WAS CARETAKER OF
 MAHANEY PROPERTY
Member of One of Most Prominent Families; Had
 Been Former Athlete

Illuminating gas from a broken main Seeped through the lower Brooklyn section this morning, taking the life of one man, overcoming another and threatening for a time to imperil the entire neighborhood. Patrolmen Dennis Lynch and Daniel Mecca, after breaking down a door on the second floor of the Mahaney building, at Bank and Riverside streets, at 7:15, found William Mahaney.55, lying dead on the floor. Mahaney, brother of Representative Daniel Mahaney and Mrs. Nora Mahaney Harris, both prominent in state Democratic party circles, had been overcome by the poisonous fumes as he struggled to leave the building, where he acted as caretaker.
 Another Overcome
 More than an hour before. Joseph Barnosky, of 110 Chambers street. attendant at gas station at the opposite side of the intersection, had been overcome by gas fumes short- ly after opening the station. He was discovered lying on the floor by Charles Gursky, of Riverside street, and taken to his home by John Stokes. He responded to treatment and is not believed to be in any dan- ger. The fact that Illuminating gas was seeping through the entire sec tion was not discovered until John J. Marcinkus, operator of the Traf- fic Light Grill. in the Mahaney building, opened up shortly after 2 o'clock. Himself almost overcome by the gas, he called the policemen, who found Mahaney upstairs.
