LOCAL RED MEN
Hard Fought Contest Lost
by Locals, 41 to 3l—Red
Men Separates Defeat
.Combat Train
In one of the hardest fought games
of the season at Red Men's Hail last
night. the Red Men Big Five went
down to defeat before the New Canaan
Big Five by the score of 41-31. In the
preliminary game the Red Men Sep-
arates defeated the Combat Train live
by the score of 31-21. This was also a
hard fought game.
The main game was fast and furwus
from start to finish. and kept the fans
on edge throughout. There was also a
great deal of rough playing during the
contest. It became so rough at one
stage or the game that Referee
Mahoncy ordered Jackie Hogan out of
the game. The New Canaan t therf
refused to play without him. and after
awhile Mahoney relented and allowod
llognn to return to the contest. A
number of fouls were called on both
teams. At the end of the first half at
the game the score stood 13-7 in favor
of the New Canaan team. The second
half of the game was even faster than
the first half. Both teams seemed to
pick up speed during this half of the
game. and it was during this period of
the contest that Mahoncy removed
llogau from the game.
Dcvcrill. the left guard of the visit-
ors. was their leading scorer. lle'
tossed in live baskets and one foul
goal for a total of 11 points. Red Kel-
ley also played a good game, and made
two baskets And six l‘oul goals. Jones.
the center of the local team. put up a
fine exhibition. He also played during
the first half of the preliminary game.
Court was the leading scorer for the
local five. with four field goals and
four l‘oul goals. Driscoll played a
good floor game. and he had to keep
his eye on Jackie Hogan every minute
as the Uttle New Canaan forward is
one of the fastest players that has
ever been on a local court.
The preliminary game was also fast
throughout. The Combat 'i‘rain tvavn
looked faster than at any time this
season, and they surely put up a line
game against the Sepnrutrs. At.thc
1nd of the first half the score stood
18-10 in favor of the, Separates. Dur-
ing the second half the Combat Train
fought even harder than it did during
the first part of the game. and were
only outscored by two points.
Russ Smith was the outstanding
star for the Separates. He made live
lleld goals and one foul goal for a total
of 11 points. Jones, the center of the
Separates, only played in part of the
game. but tossed in three baskets dur-
ing‘ this time. Cavanaugh played a line
floor game during the time that he
was in the contest. Fagan and Bow-
man starred for the Combat live. Both
of these players had their eye on the
basket. The soldiers showed the result
of their coaching under" the direction
of Avrid chllandcr.
One of the largest. crowds of the
season was on hand and they vit-
ncssed two fine- games. The third
game of the lit-d Men—New Canaan
series will be played Friday night, in
New Canaan. This game should be a
hummer. as the local team are out. to
turn the tables on the New Canaan
live. The Separates may start their
series with the Y. M. ii. A. Separates
of Bridgeport next Monday night.
This series will be for the junior
championship of the county. and it
should result in some fast games. At-
ttr the games. dancing took place.
Music was furnished by Schule'
Jazateers.

Chicago. Feb. 6.—Geor§e Sisler last,
lear broke two records held by Ty'
Cobb.
In addition. Sisler led the American
League in batting. and was voted the
most valuable player in the American
League. .
All of which makes the year 1922
stand out as the big season in the
career of the Brown's star.
Slsler hit safely in 41 consecutive
games. That feat shattered Cdbb's
record of 40 straight, made in 1911.
In 1911 Cobb batted .420. according
to the averages. To be exact, his
mark for the season was .4196. .Last
season Sisler swatted .4197. giving
Sisler the shade by'the fraction of a
point.
In making his 1922 average. Stslcr
had only 17 hitless games. In 53
games he made one hit. in 35 he had
two. in 25 he had three. while in 12
games he made four hits. Some swat-
ting!
The Cleveland pitchers were easiest
for Sisler. Against the Indians, Sis-
ler had a batting average of .495.
