FIVE LOSES
Defeated by Fast
Stamford High
School—Red Men
Seps Win from the
Butchers
Before a highly spirited and one
of the greatest crowds ever as-
sembled in Red Men’s hall. the Nor-
walk High school basketball team
last evening went down to defeat to
combine by s. score of 38-20. Some
375 ardent Norwalk rooters were
Indly’ disappointed at the end of the
game. In the preliminary game
the Red Men Seps won from the
Butchers to the tune of 26-23.
The Hy game was really spectacu-
lar last evening in every sense of
the word. Spirit was at a great
height and was possessed by every
one present. The locals although
outclassed in every point of play by
the Lock City quintet. worked hard
to avert a defeat but found no sue-
cess in their attempt.
lrwin Holmes. the star High school
athlete. who but recently was ad-
mitted to the High school squad.
having been left off because of sho-
lactic dlmculties. came back strong
last evening and proved himself the
star performer for the Green basket-
eers. In addition to scoring five
points himself he found time to keep
close guard on Kuizo, star Stamford
guard. who was held scoreless. Tom
Skidd. captain of the Green group,
did some fair work in his floor tac-
tics and was able to hold the two
forwardw placed against him to three
points.
Spirit which prevnded the crowds
to so great an extent also entered
very strongly among the players and
had somewhat disastrous results.
Jack Anderson. Norwalk left guard
who substituted in a portion of the
game for iek llvlfant. although in
but a very few inlnutes. found time
to have a conflict with LiVolsi. the
opposing left forward. The two lads
fell into trouble over some petty af-
fair and started a spirited fistic duel
in the third quarter which caused
quite a bit of excitement for a few
minutes but which finally culmin-
ated in a warm handshaking and a
mutual apology. This incident goes
only to show further the heated spirit
of the evening.
King, the Stamford right forward,
did the most work individually for
his team. scoring 17 points and
manoeuvering well on the court.
The score at the end of the first
half of the game stood 19-9 in favor
of the opposing number. The second
half as the first found Stamford
the conqueror and greater scorer.
There is no getting away from it.
Stamford has always produced a bet-
ter team than Norwalk and even to
the present day can rule as the un-
disputc monarch over the local lly
presentation.
The Scps-Butchers' game was a
fast one featured by the clever toss-
ing of Roy Jones who ruatlcd the
netting for a total of 10 points and
who in addition roped two fouls. The
star ccntm‘. as in last week's game,
shows himself in tip-top. A-l form
and should be due to travel with
faster company before long. \Vard
Malkin was the outstanding per-
former of the Butchers.
The first game of the evening. the
Hour-Sentinel event. was a fast
match with the latter always in the
lead and the. ilour boys always trail—
ing far behind. \Veslberg of the
Sentinel performed creditably us did
Walsh of the Hour who turned in
some pretty shots and one from the
center of the floor.

making of major league teams, and
North. South East and West their
quest is rewarded. Every major lea-
gue team is made up of men recruit-
ed in widely scparted cities. towns
and hamlets in widely separated
States. Take. for instance the Giants.
Examination of the Giants' roster
brings to light the fact that the thir-
tycight players whose names‘uppear
thereon represent no i [than twen-
ty States. and-that the My «ection
of the country lacking representation
is the Northwest. Men may be men
out there in the great open spaces.
but apparently they do not become
Giants. At least not at this particu-
iar time. The Northwest has con—
tributed to the makeup of Giant
teams in the past ond now has sev-
eral able bodied sons on other teams
in the big show.
California tops the listof present
day Giants having given five men to
John McGraw. Next to CalifOrnia
ranks Tennessee and Ohio. with four
each. Massachusetts, Texas and
New York are on even terms with
three each. willie \Vest \‘ir lnia and
Illinois claim two apiece. T to States
which are represented by one man
are Missouri. New Jersey. Kansas?
Maryland. Rhodo Island. Kentucky.
Pennsylvania. Arkansas. Indiana,
Wisconsin. Georgia and Louisiana.

These are Bill Terry and Joe Bradi

liavencroft. From Ohio there are
Hank Gowdy and Bill Southworth of
Columbus. Heinie Groh of Cincin-
ati and Force Malone of Milan. lu-
cidcntally, um.. Hickory Mose Soi-

Glenn 'olystt, left. slated to be in-
disns‘ main catcher the coming
season. and Steve O’Neill. veter-
an of twelve um signs. recently
traded by the la ans.
By NORMAN E. BRO\\'.\'
Back in the baseball season of
1910 Steve O'Neill. slur calchci of
the Siiumokin Blues. made his de-
but ptotessionai baseball with the
Elm clubln the New York State
league. lie had played but 28
games with that outfit waen Connie
Mack deemed that the "kll" should
be given a big leagua trycut. lie
promptly bought Steve but as
promptly decided he didn't need the
youngster and let him go to Vicious-
.ter in the New England league the
following season. Stove never got. a.
chance behind the bat. for the
Mackmcn—then thundering alcfig
the upper road in baseball.
The Cleveland scouts decided
Steve was s. comer, however, and
on their advice that club bought
Steve. The following season he
caught the majority of the games
for the Cleveland outfit and from
that year on was the team's regu-
lar catcher. A few years“ later he
stood out. as one of the'best catch-
ers in the game and bodied an-
nauliy nith Ray Schalk of the
White Sex for catching honors.
The other day the Indians let him
go to the Red 86:: in “1.! deal that.-
put an lndlan uniform on 'George
Burns once again.
And now.-the gent who is slated
to succeed him is Glenn Myatt. an
other one of Mack's casters.
unit's Thrown In
Back in 1919 Myatt was catching
for -Houston in the Tess... league.
One of the nlngers he bundled that.
year was Byron Harris. Connie
wanted Harris. and to make the
deal moro attractive the Houston
club threw in Hyatt. Hyatt went to
kaertown and warmed the bench
for two masons while Cy Perkins
caught. his usual bridisnt game day
in and day out. At one tube Connie
tried to make an outiiela-~r out of'

Young Mulligan the local scrap-

of his career. made quick work of
Johnny Neil of New York in their
bout at the Stamford armory last
evening. Neil was substituted for
Johnny “Snips" Nelson who failed to

bout showed that Mulligan had
broken his hand as the result of
landing on Neil's jaw.
At the start of the bout Nell went
after his man in fine style and it
looked as if the bout would develop
into.a real scrap. but a, few heavy
biosvs on the Jaw from Mulligan
soon slowed his man up. With but
eight seconrs to go in the first round
Mulligan landed a heavy right on
