Ariola and Rinaldi had big games to overcome Howell'S efforts.
 The battle of the year is on for this week. The Blues and Stars, cur- rently tied for the leadership will clash head on and midnight Thurs day will find one in sole possession of first place. The tSarS are out for revenge as Christie's team nip ped them in two of three a while back. Eddie Duhamel, pilot of the Stars has agreed to wheel Christy to work in a wheelbarrow If they lose all three games.
 The Stripes and Eagles clash in another important match. Both are very much in the race, and couple of victories either way would make lot of difference.
 The Reds are destined for better things and meet the Whites this week. The latter team won three in their last squareof but Jimmy Fitzmaurice insists this won't hap pen again.
 The averages were posted last week and show a considerable im- provement over the percentages compiled by the league at the same time last season. Bert Kelly was all smiles after 88 games last week. =. /. Shall we mention the first two Bertha? :. MT. Ralph Bradley was way of last week. He says the cigars Rinaldi was smoking was too much of handicap. Did you ever bowl with Louie Falcone and his pepe?

The Whites. rising up with ven- geance after losing eight out of their last nine starts, made the Blues sing the blues by whipping the league leadeNs in two straight games and had them hanging on in the third but last ditch rally saved the night for Bill ChriStie's boys and enabled them to stay in a tie with the Sars for the top spot.
 Perry White had his srike ball working to perfection and also had a little cooperation from Green and Owens this week to say nothing of Captain Carosella's and Virginia Sheperd's fine scores, this combined win the lousey (don't like that word but it sure fits) bowling of the Blues (Pat Ariola excepted) explains the situation. Mike Festa had two neat games but we won't talk about the other one.
 The Stars managed to hold the pace by winning two games from Bill Germans luckless Eagles, who seem to like to drop those close ones. Al Ellis and Mike Machareli were the whole show for the Stars while Leo Bakmazian and Billy Cor man showed no affects from the previous evening and rolled up cred- itable scores.

 ALL QUIT WITH HARTFORD FOES
Stellar Semi=PrO Football Game at Municipal Stadi-
 um Sunday

Their goal line crossed by two of five opponents to date, Duke Delpo's Waterbury Indies will strive to re- gain its winning ways Sunday after noon against the strong Hartford Pros. The contest is scheduled for the Municipal Stadium with the opening kickoff carded for 2:15 o'clock.
 The Indies will be making their first appearance on a local field since their opening of. the season against the Bronx, N. NY., Spartans six weeks ago.
 Determined to step back into the winning side of teh ledger after a surprising 1912 setback at the hands of the league-leading All- Torrington eleven, the Indies went through another lengthy workout last night at Hamilton park.
 Jimmy Grove, Lefty" Farrar, "Cappy" DeBlasio, and Butch" Sterniak, standouts in last weeks losing contest, will again be counted on to carry the mail against the veteran, hard-running Pros, who boast of the strongest running att tack of any of the clubs entered in the Connecticut Semi-Pro Football League.
 Strong Forwards
 The Indies line, composed of Leo LaRusso and Tony Marinelli, ends; Chet Perry and Chick Sargent, vet eran tackles; Chuck" Pettine and either Jack Quintliani or Gus Pol man, guards; and either Armand Fisher or Billy Kripaitis, center, will again bear the brunt of the attack. This combination has played an av- craze of 57 minutes each game this season and have allowed but 20 points in five contests.
 Ofdcials for the game announced last night are John Chick" Kelley, Joe Connors and Al Kellie. Fay Vim cent originally scheduled to officiate will be unable to be on hand as he had a previous assignment to off, ciate professional game in New Jersey.
 Patrons who received rain checks for the opening game may use the passes at Sundays game, Manager Delpo announced last night.

They are: Ed Lowe, Tom Cul- linan, Joe Began, Tom Bowling, Al Began, Jim Roach, Joe Gallagher, Sip Johnson and Al Chestone.
 It will be severe loss to the Spar tans and an advantageous gain for the Wilby Wildcats when both Al Began and Jim Roach join the Lee- men early in December. Lanky Al Began, one of the greatest defensive guards the "Y'' has ever seen, will be seeking that post for the Green and White. While towering Jimmy Roach bids for a forward berth.
 The Spartans played exactly fifty-four games last season winning thirty three. This year the team will play the main attractions on Sunday afternoons at the Hut in place of the unforgetable Varsity.
 The Spartans will play all their games on Sunday afternoons and on Saturdays will arrange outside games with desiring teams.
 In few weeks the Spartans will open their hoop season with pow erful array down in Rhode Island. Later they will travel to upper New York State to do battle with the highly touted Pores Hill Gophers.

BY HUGO HooKJAB

All sorts of possibilities confront the fighters and fans on hand for the second indoors boxing show of the season, scheduled for this even- ing in Buckingham Hall and spon- sored by the Waterbury A. c. which put together some of the best bouts of the outdoor season and then came through with Robinson Montanari return go to open the indoor season two weeks ago which ended with 8 sensational knockout in the fourth round.
 Tonight, the same "Cat" Robin son is back again, this time to meet a young man reputed to have knocked him down four times in a fight last winter, which went the limit, Robinson losing the decision to Pete Woloff, a sturdy, reputable welterweight from New York, who is handled by Jack Moore, man. ager of Irish Eddie Dolan. In addi- tion to beating Robinson, Kolof is said to have defeated Doug Marsh, the clever Canadian who was quite an attraction in Waterbury a year ago; Babe Synott and Billy Cam panelli, the latter a high-class Wor- cester welterweight; Tony Ferrara and Nick Pastore, good New York club fighters, and Al Costa, the New Bedford boy who holds the only de- ciSion scored over Devon's Red Moi fett in two years. If Koloff is in that sort of company, he should be plenty able to cope with the best Robinson has to offer, which is why Buckingham Hall will be we'll filled tonight by fans who want to "get a peek" at Kolof, who is making his first showing in this city. Of course, 8 win over Robinson will make him an immediate attraction, in view of the Negro's knockout of Francesca Montanari two weeks ago.
 Action Ahead.
 The bout is one of two eight round affairs that is expected to produce plenty of fistic thrills. In the companion eight rounder, Dick Turcotte makes his second local showing in three months, against Vic Finazzo of Baltimore, stable mate of Louis Kid Cocoa. Finazzo holds wins over Yucutan Kid, Bob- by Brittan and has stopped Joey Greb which indicates that he is able to mix with Turcotte, who is in good shape and going after knock out win, so that he can meet up with Jimmy Bell of New Haven, and eventually tangle with Red Moi fett in the indoor fight of the sea- son."
 PrelimS.
 Bell is paired in sixer tonight with Alphonse Cortez of Puerto Rico, who has won eight bouts in a row, according to advance info relative to his ability. Maxie Katz of Waterbury, who now owns quite a little victory streak of his own, covering some six fights, is paired with Frankie Albano, who has beaten New Haven Tony Gillo this past summer in Waterbury. When Katz heard Albano was putting on the dog" he said: "I1l take him in two rounds"
 Frankie Topazio of New Haven and Al Marine of New York are the show openers in four round setto that might be mighty interesting for the boys lack science but have plenty of swing. They should be in the ring about 8:30 p. m. at which time they will be introduced to the paying patrons and others by An- nouncer J. Freney, the Beau Brum- men of Waterville street.
