MURPHY DEFENDS
 MAT TITLE HERE

The first title wrestling match comes to Waterbury in several years when Dr. "Dropkick" Murphy, junior heavyweight champion of of the world makes his first ap- pearance at Buckingham hall, Fri day night to defend his title against the logical contender Jack James. Greek Wonder.
 Doc Murphy's sportsmanship has won him almost as many friends as hls ring prowess. In the years that Murphy struggled to the top, he never refused a return bout to any opponent he had once beaten and who believed he had chance in return bout. Murphy who never ducked an issue when on the road up, has lived up to his promise to meet all corners and it is for this reason that he made no bones about facing James, although the Greek lad is undefeated in these parts and certainly a worthy opponent for the champion. But Murpy is aiming for still higher mat laurels, no less than the worlds heavyweight title, and as he says himself-"I never could be 8 real champion if I barred others from meeting me when still have long road to travel and am demanding matches with the head liners in the heavyweight class"
 Murphy'S high standard of wrest- ling and James class, makes Fri days engagement a bout where both men will try their best to win but at the same time will wage clean battle without recourse to illegal holds or other foul tactics so preva- lent among certain elements in the game.
 Fans are keyed up for the great match between Murphy and James. but their interest also centers around karol Krauser undefeated Polish Apollo, whose sensational winning streak has made him the seasons biggest box office magnet. Krauser stacks up against Tony Siano for his first showing here.
 Popular Maurice Cavell of France will also be seen on the card matched with Faro Renaldo of Italy.

SPEAKERSL PROMOTERSFOR
 LEAGUE EFFORT
State Basketball Circuit Entertains l5O at In=
 auguratiOn Dinner.

An enthusiastic turnout of 15C basketball followers, made up oi players, managers, coaches. news papermen and officiais, enjoyed the inauguration dinner of the newly organized State Basketball League last evening in the Silver Chalet o1 Patsy Browns emporium.
 Enthusiasm for the success of the new circuit was evident throughout the various speakers lauding the efforts of the promoters in bringing together the nine best clubs in the state for competition which is cer- tain to find favor with the sporting element of the nine towns repre- Sented.
 Three Opening Games
 The rarty officially launched the opening of the league. Saturday evening in Bristol the West Ends will open against the Bridgeport Spring woods at the Bell City Armory. Sum- day afternoon the Naugatuck Keds will oppose the Waterbury Ashleys at the Central Y here and Sunday eve- ming the Danbury Guards will en- certain the West Haven Red Devils at the Hat Town Armory.
 Ken Loeffler, Yale hoop mentor compared the psychology methods essential to arouse the spirit of a college or scholastic player to that of a professional star. He stressed the advancement of the court game in the last two decades and urged all players to keep their eyes open for new points of the game, as the game is still young and new points peeping up continually.
 Ken Smith, sports writer on the New York Daily Mirror and a former resident of Danbury, com- pared basketball in Connecticut with that of southern and eastern sec tions and said he believed the action around these parts was far superior to that in these sections. He traced the history of the Original Celtics whom he claimed was the greatest team in the country a few years back.
 Lou Black, bespectacled sports writer for the Associated Press, gave a very humorous address using pol itics for comedy relief. He lauded the league for the efficient way the publicity has been given the various wire services and state newspapers.
 Veteran Official
 George Hoyt of Boston, first pres ident of the National Board of Ap- proved Basketball Officials, traced the advancement of the sport since he started footing the whistle 30 years ago.
 Leonard Nixon of New Britain, president of the state board of of- ficials, said his organization would work hand in hand with the league in putting it over with a bang.
 Messages expressing sorrow in not being able to attend were read by Dr. Edward T. Fischer of Dan- bury, toastmaster, from Dan Parker of the New York Mirror, Neil Coha- Ian, Manhattan Coach, Frank Menke, sports statistician, Governor Wilbur L. Cross, and Nat Holman, C.C.N.Y. coach.

GROVE, HARDER
 WON SERIES TESTS

New York, Nov. 16.-(UP) Rob- ert Moses Grove, ancient southpaw of the Boston Red Sox, and Melvin Roy Harder, Cleveland Indians right-hander, shared the distinction of being the only two American League pitchers who did not lose a series last season, according to a compilation today of pitchers rec ords by Henry Edwards, head of the junior leagues service bureau. Grove, who won IA games and lost despite his dead" arm, had the edge over every club except Cleveland with which he broken even in two games. Lefty had his greatest success against Detroit, beating the Tigers in four out of five games.
 Harder, whose seasons record vas IF wins and 10 losses, had the edge over four clubs and broke even with three others. He tied the Tanks with 2@2, and the White Sox and Athletics with 1-1. He won three out of four from both the Browns and Senators and plastered four defeats ron the Red Sox while dropping two decisions to them.

SYRACUSE STARS
 AT N. H. TONIGHT

New Haven, Nov. 16-The Syra- cuSe Stars with Eddie Convey, Jack Markle and Red Shannon invade New Haven tonight for their first test against the youthful New Ha- ven Eagles. Convey and Markle to- gether scored more points than three of the teams in the league last year and, although the Stars have won but one game, threaten to break out in a rash of goals any minute.
 Dissatisfied with the showing of his Eagles when they wilted in the last two periods against Cleveland Sunday, Coach Lepine gave orders yesterday to let down the bars in practice. Defense men were told to smack them down.
 The Eagles followed Lepine's or ders to the letter. Glen Brydson suf- fered 8 split lip which necessitated five stitches. Gus Mancuso came out of the fray with a black eye and young Marcel Trombly will go into tonight's games with a nose several times larger than the one he usually wears.

Four M0Elh0ttan
 Players Dropped

New York, Nov. 15-UP)- The dismissal of four varsity players and one freshman can didate for playing in "Outside Sunday games" left Manhat- tan University's football squad weakened today for its game hero Saturday with West Vir- ginia.

 hawk Team
By United Press

The Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs were tied for second place in National League hockey standings today. The two New York clubs, Americans and Rangers, were deadlocked for third.
 With the leading Chicago Black Howks idle, the Bruins and Leafs battled to 1-1 overtime tie last night, the first stand off of the two- weeks-old season.
 It was the Bruins first appearance on home ice, and without the Ser- vices of holdout Eddie Shore they gave ragged exhibition. Cooney Weiland put Boston in front with a first period goal, but Murphy Cham berlain tallied the equalizer for Toronto in the second.
 The Rangers, making their New York debut, blanked the Detroit Red Wings 20. It was the second straight victory for the Rangers and the fourth straight setback for the Wings. Cecil Dillon and Neil Col vile put over New York'S two goals in the second period.
 The standings:
