REYMONDS EYE SCULLY TROPHY HiIlies Can Clinch Cup Fri- day in Game With
 Gents

Still in the running for the cham- pionsllip of the Washington Park Hoop league, the Raymond Hillies have visions of permanently retiring the Martin Scully trophy-the re- quirement being three successive championships. The Hillies, who meet the pace-setting Gents of the Hill in Friday night attraction at the Hill court, have won the title the past two successive years.
 In preliminary, starting at 7:45 o'clock, the Robins and Baldwin Props, tied off third place, and well matched opponents, will provide 3 Scrappy overture.
 Tough Task
 The task of winning the chaIne pionship, to the Hillies this year, will be gargantuan one. They must defeat the Gents Friday night to start the ball rolling, for if the Gents annex the St. Patrick's night game the league is completed. The Gents won the first round.
 Should the Hillies win Friday. they must then win again the fol- lowing Monday night, in order to take the second round title. Then a three game playoff will be nSces- sary to ultimately decide the cham- pionship. In other words the Hillies must take the Gents into camp in four of five possible games.
 But in the past three years, the Hillies have defeated the Gents seven times without giving the Gents the satisfaction of once taking the Doughboys into camp.

LEGION HOOPMEN
 HAVE FINE YEAR
Naugatuck Club Complies Favorable Record in
 Initial Season

Naugatuck, March 15-The local Sons of Legion basketball team won the championship of the second round of the second Sons of Legion district, when Milford recently for feited to the Naugatuck team. Nau- gatuck few weeks ago defeated Wallingford and followed this up last week with a triumph over Mer- iden. Naugatuck was leading the league and Milford was it's only re- maining opponent.
 As Wallingford was the winner of the first round, it is expected the local and Wallingford lives will meet in a series of games, the winner of three outsof five to be considered the district champion.
 If Naugatuck should emerge the winner, it will then participate in tournament with winners of other district leagues to determine the state Sons of Legino champion.
 This is the first year the local Sons of Legion have had a basket ball team and they have done re- markably well.

TOP RUNNERS MAKE SPECIAL
 TRY TONIGHT
Lash and BOrican to Run for New Records on
 Dartmouth Track

Hanover, N. H., March 15.-(UP) Don Lash, John Borican, and a pair of New York relay teams will challenge five world indoor track records on Dartmouth's super-speed boards tonight.
 They are the boards on which Glenn Cunningham strode to his miracle" 4:04.4 mile last year, and Dartmouth officials are hoping for new records for two-miles, one-half mile, 800 meters, one-mile relay, and two-mile relay.
 Lash and Borican will run against time in their specialties but will be paced by handicap field. The teams of Fordham and New York Universities will race each other in the relay record attempts. Lash has set a two-mile goal of eight minutes and 50 seconds, which not only would better him own in- door record of 8:58, but would eclipse the outdoor mark of 8:56 held by Miklos Szabo of Hungary. Most track followers do not give him much chance at attaining $50, but they do believe he can turn 8:55 if he is right"
 Opportunity
 Borican, "done out" of a 1,O0O- last week khen the starter claimed yard record in the K. of c. games he jumped the gun, will be shoot ing to shatter Lloyd Hahn's H. year-old record, but en route he will be timed at 800 meters, so he might come of with two marks. There also is the chance he will break Syd Wooderson's outdoor half-mile rec ord of 1:49.2, but indoor achieve ments are not recognized by the h. ternational Amateur Athletic Fed eration which passes on all world" records.
 Fordham is favored in the two- mile relay. Bob '-Iiegengack, Ram track coach, will send George Leary Wesley Wallace, Walter Cary, and Frank Slater, in that order after the two-mile mark of 7:416 set by oCOi 5CtoWA1 IT yCdlo dSO. l llc IN. L. U. lineup will be Martin Witte, My ron Bresnick, Jimmy Herbert and Curtis Giddings.
 Rams Can Run Three of the N. Y. U. two-milers will double up in the one-mile re- lay trial. Jimmy McPoland will run the No. leg, followed by Witte, Giddings and Herbert. The Ford ham mile squad, which will attempt to lower the 3:17 mark set by an- other Georgetown foursome ir 1883 will be composed of Ralph St. Pierre, Leary, Wallace and Slater.
 Much has been written about the unusual springiness of the Dart mouth boards, and since they are laid on bed of cinders they are undoubtedly more lively than track. with concrete base, but the track. size is believed the main factor iT favor of record-breaking. IL takes but 6 2-3 laps to the mile compared to anywhere from eight to II laps on other indoor courses around the winted circuit.

Industrial league champions again, they will be feted March 18th the leagues annual din- ner in the Chase Country Club. MT. Willie Tato, the high average man of the league, will go on a diet for the event, immediately, if not soon- CT.

Pawlosky of Scovill was the "hot" roller last night, getting 158 high single, to which he added strings of 118 and 116 for 392 high set. Scovills taking high game and Chase high team set. Scores.

very carefully he examined that
little fence from the bottom of the
steep bank clear to the edge of the
water. He smelled of each separate
stick OF that fence, but he could
smell nothing suspicious. Those
were just plain old sticks and noth-
ing else. Finally he made up his
mind that there couldn't be anything
really wrong in at least trying to 90
through that little opening. He
reached forward with one foot to
place it right in the middle of that
opening.
"Stop!" cried Billy Mink.

bank. OF course it didn't take him
long to discover that right in the
middle Of that fence was an OPEN
ing, a sort of gateway. But it was
very narrow opening. You see, it
had been made just wide enough for
Billy Mink, and Bobby Coon is a
great deal bigger than Billy Mink.
Bobby went little nearer and
once more sat down, his head cooked
on one side as he studied that little
opening. Its too narrow for me,
but If I try hard enough perhaps
I can push those sticks aside and
make 1t wider. That would be easier

how that little fence happens to be
here I've never seen it before. I
wonder what it's for. Nobody had
any business to build a fence like
that. The only way can get around
it is to climb way up that bank, and
I don't want to do that" You know
Bobby is rather lazy.
So, he sat and looked at the fence,
which was made of sticks stuck
down in the ground, and the more
he looked the more determined he
became that he wouldn't be stopped
and that he wouldn't climb that

A shiny pebble in the water or a

Billy Mink watched Bobby start

wonder what he'll do when he comes
to that little fence" thought Billy.
SO, to find out what Bobby would do,
he followed him. When Bobby came
to the little fence he sat down and
stared at 1t in the funniest way. Then
he began to talk to himself. That's
