BILLY COUTU TOBE
 HOCKEY REFEREE

Bill Stewart, former manager of the Waterbury BrasscoS and the man who never played hockey and yet piloted the Chicago Black Hawks to the National Hockey League championship last season, is a stick Ter for things United States. Brought up in an atmosphere of that strictly American" sport of baseball as coach, manager and um- pire, Bill wants to see more United States boys as players and as ref ereeS.
 His campaign has gained follow CTS, and not the least of these is Billy Coutu, who is Canadian born but right now interested in be- coming a citizen of these United States.
 Coutu, one time firebrand of major league hockey, later one of the most colorful and strongest defense men in the minors, is back once again on the list of referees in the Intam loop after a fling at coaching.
 Bill had success as coach at Providence and in New Haven fin- iShed last season in the play-offs, although the team was eliminated in the first round of play. At the beginning of this season there was some curiosity as to Coutu'S where aboutS, especially as he had voiced an intention of taking out citizen papers. Coutu answered the curious himself when he showed up in New Haven a few days ago.
 I'm back here again." he ar- nounced, "and I'm going to live here. Remember last year I said this was going to be my home? Well, that goeS."
 Coutu praised Stewards stand 'This hockey may be Canadian game, but it's pretty much a United States proposition now," he said. And If we make our money down here in the states, this is where we should live. That's the way I feel about it."

UTHS SET FOR
 KRUECER CLUB BrOCkton Boys Here Sat- urday-Meet St. CyriIs
 Sunday

Coach Harry Huey's K. of L. cag- CTS have a weekend chance to pull up to the fifty-fifty mark for the season, taking on the Krueger Brewers, of Brockton, Mass. Satur- day night at St. Joseph's hall and invading Bridgeport Sunday eve- ming for tussle with the St. Cy- ril's array. Two victories would give the Knights an even break in six games.
 The Brockton team is one of the talleSt ever to show hereabouts, showing two six-five performers and another just an inch shorter.
 The club captured 35 of 43 con- tests last year and bagged the Southeastern Massachusetts cham pionship.
 StandOutS
 Ed Flynn, at center, all-state two seasons back, and John Augustine, former captain and guard with BridgeWater State Teachers, are the tallest members of the squad, while Big Ben" Smith, former Provi- dence college captain, is a stulnpy six-four.
 Just to make things tougher on the opposition, the club has an am- bidextruous shooter in Howard Wadleigh, one of the Bay States most colorful performers.
 However, if the Knights can hold the form they displayed in trim ming the Greenpoint outfit last Saturday the Brewers are going to be in for 8 tough time.

BY JIM JANNETTY

With the fans on edge and creat- ing tremendous tumult, Babe Mat tolini sunk a beautiful center shot to give the aggressive Aviglianese team, a 32-30 overtime victory in the feature tussle of last nights Senior League games at the North End "" over the "Y" Triangles. In the other games, the Wolves won out over the Cadets 35-21 and e Ganezers last second foul gave the rejuvenated Trojans 23-32 win over the Lou Chestone coached Spartans.
 Allen Ouimet's Triangle boys start ed out fast and took a 11-8 lead at the end of the first quarter and pulled away to a 15-8 count at the intermission. The Italian lads with Babe Mottolini pacing the hoop at tach pulled up to 20-22 score going into the last canto. A nip and tuck period it was with Ray Mazzaferro and Mottolini caging last second hoop to deadlock the game 30 all at the final whistle. In the overtime, Bame did his duty and the game was over 32-30 in favor of the Avig- lianese. Ray M.zzaferro played bril- liant for the losers. The score:

 New York, December 15. CUPl = The star that will blaze brightest across the world of sports in 1889, in the opinion of the nations sports editors, is young Joe Gordon, sec end baseman of the New York Yankees.
 He got more votes than anybody else - B per cent - as the answer to the question of who will be the athlete to show the greatest im- proyement in the new year. Close behind with 12 per cent came Bob Teller, fireball pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. Bobby r. 5, chief hope of the United States in the international tennis wars now that Don Budge has turned profes- sional, finished in third place with 10 per cent.
 Promising
 Gordon, playing his first year in the major leagues, hit .255 and elded .960 in 1888. He was streak of fire in the world series at the plate and in the field. The sports editors who voted for him said all he needed was experience to equal feats of such great second basemen as Lajoie, Frisch and Gehringer,
 Coming up with eight per cent of the votes was that familiar name, Dizzy Dean. Those voting for De an predicted he would come back and have great year with the Chi cago Cubs after his arm is rested through the winter. Ben Hogan, promising young professional golfer, also received eight per cent.
 The rest were scattered among. Van Lingle Mungo, Brooklyn pitcher; Bill De Correvont, the nigh school football sensation who will play in Northwestern's back field next year; schoolboy Rowe, Detroit pitcher who will try a comeback after a season in the

St. Thomas
 Bowling Bits

AS the season goes on, the race seems to be getting closer and closer. This year, the teams are better balanced with the result that any team may still win first place.
 Father Donnelly's team broke ali records with 578 for high game and 1907 for high team-what a team when they get going.
 Through the fine bowling of Danny Perrin, Jimmy Grout and Bubsy Mc- Hale, Freddy Rappelt's team took two out of three from George Bolan's leaders.
 Walter Gavin took high single, 134 and high three with 345.
 Guess George Miller must have given his team pep talk as they took three games from Ed Fitzger- aids team who were tied for first place.
 Jacky Grout, Chrissy Griffin, Paul Cronin and George Sloss had an average of 335 pins which is some bowling in any league.
 Father Culliton showed the ef- fects of his absence the last few weeks due to illness, as he bowled only 246.
 The Smith brothers, John and Sam were away of form and turned in low scores.
 Jacky Grout was pitted against his dad and what beating he gave him.
 Our president, Tom Foley, hit his stride and had every string well over 100.
 Captains George Bolan and "One Ball" Charley Keeley both dropped below the 300 mark.
 Jimmy Officer and Ed Fitzgerald were overheard sympathizing with each other-both had dropped three games.
 Bill Brennan hit 328-guess Bill must be after high single.
 Bill Weir couldn't seem to get one and two pin spares with the result he lowered his average a few points.
 Russ Dow's wide and handsome curve ball failed to function except in the last string when he knocked over 112 pins.
