Three important games are sched- uled at the Boys club tonight in the Naugatuck valley intermediate tour nament. At 6:30 the strong Water bury Hurricanes under the leader ship of K. O. Perugini, will oppose the Baldwin Aces in 8 game that has caused much debate ever since the drawings last Friday night. At 7:30 the club Bees play host to the Bristol Bears in 8 game that is tagged as natural because both home clubs. At 8:30' the Bristol teams claim superiority in their Cross Bones meet the Brooklyn Senads and judging from the play CTS list from Bristol the local team will have 8 play excellent basket ball to come out ahead.
 The third round tilt between the West Side Juniors and the strong Holy Name quintet, originally sched- uled for Saturday evening has been moved to this Friday evening at 7:45. Both these teams are strong con- tenders for the crown and both moved down all early opposition.
 Last night only one tilt was held at the club in which the Crusaders turned back the efforts of the Water vile A. 0. to move into the third round bracket. Bowen was outstand- ing for the winners tossing in eight hoops and playing a fine defensive game. Summary:

Italian American Recreation League

Whew! What a week these boys put in last week. After the bowl ing matches we all walked home in a daze and wondered how this league will end up. One thing is certain-there will be a play-off for two or more positions, for as the standing is just now there is only a difference of six games from 1st to 7th place. The Brown and Cali for1lia game tonight will tell the story.
 The biggest upset of the night was the Navy's 3 to 0 defeat of Cali fornia. Navy went right to town taking advantage of every little break that came their way. This Navy team is right on the top be- ing only one game out of second place and three games out of first and with intentions of being the No. 1 team in the next four weeks. For Navy (Boiled Ham) Panadino was sliced for 347. (Spiced Ham) Capobianco was not so spicey for 302. (Veal Cutlet E. Cont was not dipped in crumbs with 301. (Roast Beef) B. Cont was raw with 303. (Tenderloin) Perrazella was nice and tender with a 369 score.
 California without the services of Joe Napps was no match for Navy and took quite 8 drop in their standing. The California team was at their worst in this match and if they expect to stay in second place they will have to come out of their trance. Picking out the worst bowler of this team is the hardest task. (Corned BeeD Cim- inera without the cabbage was no good for .270. (Tripe) Garafola was pretty tough with 284.

TOUGH SCHEDULE AHEAD FOR L|THS Pawtucket TOwnies Here Saturday Danbury
 Game Sunday

A double-barreled dose of poten- tial poison awaits the K of L hoop sters over the weekend, with the Pawtucket, R. T., Townies, who have already beaten them this season, coming to St. Joseph's hall Saturday night and the Liths hitting the trail for the armory at Danbury Sunday evening for return tussle with the Guards, who are still aching from that three-point setback the Knights dished out to them Tuesday.
 Coach Harry Huey's charges have swept through their last six games, including victories over both Dan- bury representatives in the state semi-pro world, but their winning streak will be put to the sternest test yet by the tough double bill just ahead.
 The Pawtucket team trimmed the Liths, 47-38, last December and last Saturday night invaded Meriden to wallop the capable West Sides, 8O-49, scoring 50 points in the last half, 20 of which were contributed by Char lie Swanson, who checked in with 28 for the evenings work.
 Swanson and Wilson Farley were the big guns in the early season victory the Rhode Islanders regis tered over the F.. of L. tossing in 35 of the teams 47 points.
 High-scoring basketball is the key- note of the teams style of attack and with the Knights averaging A points for 21 games themselves, 8 wide-open battle to delight the fans looms for tomorrow evening.

Veteran 7ur4en Doubt Houpard Horse Can Come Back
Seabiscuit Goes To Stud
 As Record Chance Fades
By JACK GUENTHKR

United Press Stan Corresponaenfl Arcadia, Cal, March 9-(UP)- Seabiscuit was retired to stud to- day, just $36,0OO short of the ale time money record, while Trainer Tom Smith whistled past the adage that 'They don't come back" end bravely talked of winning the @100.. 900 Santa Anita Handicap next wins ter.
 Smith said the retirement would be only temporary and that the 1888 champion would resume train. ing next year. But many horsemen who have watched the Biscuits slow recovery from a ligament in. jury suffered at Santa Anita Park in February were quick to count 10 over a remarkable career. Their arguments were numerous. Here are just few:
 The chance of recovery from the injury-a ruptured suspensory liga- ment in the left foreleg-is remote. A similar ailment permanently re. tired Top Row, winner of the 1886 Santa Anita.
 Seabiscuit will be seven years old in January. He still needs $36,000 to push his earnings of $340, ,880 past Sun Beau's mark of $376, TIA. Only one American flat runner, Extern. inator, was able to amass such Q sum in his seventh year. Gets Heavy The chunky son of Hard Tack gains weight in tremendous propor- tions if not worked. He was 200 pounds overweight after two month layoff, and in year of rest might gain as much as 500 pounds, seriously hampering his training.
 All during that year the opposi. tion will be growing stronger and the Biscuit can hardly improve. A large number of turf writers believe his stablemate, Kayak II, winner of the $100,000 classic Saturday, could defeat him now on 8 weight-for-age basis.
 Against all this there was only Smiths record of training Wizardry and his hope.
 Three mares of the c. s. Howard stable were inspected by veterinar. ians and will be bred immediately. They are Fair Knightess, 8 stout handicap runner herself year ago, Carvola and Illeanna. Others will follow at the end of the Santa Anita meeting when Seabiscuit is vanned to northern California then brought back to Hollywood Park in Ingle- wood.
 we want the Sun Beau record" Smith said. "But not badly enough to send Seabiscuit to the post lame. I don't want him ever to look bad in a race. I want the public to re. member him always as the truly great horse he is"
 Howard said Kayak would be sent after the Dixie Handicap at Pimlico, the Massachusetts Handicap at Suf. folk Downs, and the Gold Cup.

 It marked the initial victory in the Conn. State league playoffs for the West Haveners. Semenkovitch, Ferrie and Petrefessa played bril- liantly for the Devils, with McNally and McGuirk, former Celtic twins, hooking g points for Danbury.
 In the preliminary game the West Haven Falcons defeated the Milford Waysides, 58 to 42. Main game score:

Capt Iannocone made a foul goal and F. Lamberti then put in a basket by 8 hook shot. Joe Lamberti was high scorer for the Lourdes with 4 points while Falvey was tops for St. Thomas also with points. In spite of the low score both teams played a swell game.
