series will be played in the local
armory on Friday. January 39.
This is -.the tirst time that these
two teams have met in three years.
Great interest has been shown in
the series and record crowds are
expected to attend the . contests.
Both teams have guaranteed to use
their regular lineups for all games.
if the tlrst two games are divided
between the teams. the deciding
contest probably will be played on
a. neutral court.
The Red Men have been playing
splendid ball during their last few
games and will be strong favorites
to take the series trom the Bridge~
porters. The Hebrews have not been
going so good. but no doubt they
will back up and make an extra. et-
fort to end the series with two
straight wins.
Rube Gordon will Jump center for
the Y. M. II. A. He has been a dead-
ly rival of George Smith for. the
honor at being the best center in
this part or the state for many
years. Gordon and Smith always
put up a tine exhibition when .hcy
meet. Clayton McGran will play
with the Red Men. lie will be at his
best as he is performing on Thurs-
day before his home town tans.
Bill Court and Harry Clancy will
' start the game as forwards with the
Red Men. Smith will lump center.
The guards will be McGran and
Willis Covaaash. Bennie Mason and
Clem Fauna will‘ accompany the
team as utility players. ,
The Y. M. H. A. will use George
Weider and Joe Kaplan at the for-
ward positions. Gordon is slated to
jump center. Max‘ Fltelsoo and
Willie Marron are the guards.
Schwarts and Sabine will be the ex-
tra men. Marron is one of the fast-
est players in New York City. He
is a good guard and when out

The Bridge ort Herald said the ‘
Billyw Lauder’ s
The uncertainty or what may hull-
pcn in baseball is one or the greatest i
fsocinations that game has for both
player and tan. Natural conditions
at may produce more uulookéd for
results (even when skilled players
are engaged) than is conceivable in
any other sport, where teem WV
is required. Batting illustrates
best this teature oi the some.
~Tho-writcr remembers a. game we
lost to the old Baltimore Orioles in
which Ed Deluhunty. the Philadel-
phia lclt fielder. hit four hard line
drives straight at fielder! tor pui
outs, anyone of which would have
won the game if driven two feet
either side oi the fielder. John Mc-
Gl‘aw. then playing third base for
the Baltimore Club. was nearly car-
ried out to lett field by one of these
has bits. which he sphered with his
gloved hand.
The next day we won a some by
a one tun 11111rgl11,tluough a. fluke

and the rest at that old Oriole rrou'd
said to Cross. The exact words are
not recalled. but they lott no doubt
in Cross's mind that they considered
him lucky to say the least.
It has always been claimed that
the 1924 World's title turned on a
pebble and that the Senators were
victors over the Giants becauae an
easy grounder Jumped over Lind-
strom's head at third base. Admit-
tedly all the baseball skill in the
world couldn't haVe changed the
course or that ball utter it left the
bat and we presume that "Bucky"
Harris didn't purposely hit the ball
at that particular pebble.
To illustrate from the pitching and
of the game. We recall Christy Ma-
th: wson in his prime (and no great-
cr pitcher ever faced a batter) was
batted all over the lot in a game
against the tail end club. but two
days later Matty shut out the slug-
ging Philadelphia'Ciub. with but one
bit. We venture the statement that
no stronger batting team than those
sumo Philllcs has even played to-
gether.
While such uncertainty adds keen
interest to the game it unfortunately
causes many to believe that the play—
ers do not always try their best. Let
these doubters be assured that any
time a. player gets "raucd" for a
strike—out or an error in a pinch. his
desire to succeed in that particular
DID-ll probably euuals the combined
desires of any ton of his critics.
Every player has a normal pride in
making good particularly bolero the
crowd. His success makes him more
valuable to his club and he knows
his salary is measured by that value.

Jackie Hogan the star forward
of the New Canaan Big Five, has
turned in his uniform for the re-
mainder of the season.
Hogan departed last week for
Florida. where he expects to go in-
to business. The loss oi Hogan will
be a sad blow to the New Canaan
team. He was one of their main-
stays. Hogan is a. gentleman both
on and off the court. He will be
missed by all his friends as well as
by the fans and opposing players.
Hoganuis a. small man. but his
speed and eagle eye rank him with
the best or players in this section.
It is not known who New Canaan
will use to take the piece of Ho~
