Speaking of Sports The revival of roller polo in Con- necticut has been @ success in most Instances, the old time fans with many new ones flocking to the games in large numbers, Meriden cannot accommodate the numbers who want to see the games while other cities in this state report con- dition about the same. In all the hub-bub of excitment among the fans of several years ago, the city which would likely be the best in the state for polo cannot have the game for the simply réa- son that there isn’t a suitable hall in which it can be played. Should roller polo be played again in this city, there doesn’t seem to be any doubt whatever but what it would be an immepse success. ‘Traveling about in sporting circles in New Britain, one finds that there is a burning desire of the fans to have this city represented by a polo team, There are several halls in the city which might be adapted to the game, but none of them aré sultable. The best bet is the state armory, but as the rulings of the board which ! has control over the military build- ings now #tand, the state buildings | cannot be used for the games. It is stated that the men who are mem- bers of the military companies sta- | tioned in the buildings have cales- thenles as a part of their drill and in getting down on the floor, they would get slivers in their hands and otherwise have their drilling spoiled. The board was to have met in Hartford last night to discuss throw- ing the armories open for roller polo but because of the illness of three of the members, the meeting has been postponed indefinitely. It was sald that the board was in favor of | allowing the game to be played in the armories. days when the game section of the In the flourished in this country, New Britain led all other | cities in playing the games. Then, special trains would carry the fans from Waterbury to this city and vice versa to watch a game and Hanna's armory on East Main street, the center of sport attractions in those daye, would be packed to the doors. Those who are interested in the game and the possibility of having a team in this city and there are many who are intenscly interested in it, feel sure that New Britain would again lead the way in attendance at polo games in this city. . The stage 13 ail sct as far as pro- moters are concerned because there are any number of men who are anxious to get a franchise in thiy city and start the game. But, the main question is a hall and unti this can be settled, there will be nothing doing in the polo line in New Britain, Ed Dailey who was the origina- tor of the idea in this city, Denny McMahon of Meriden former man- ager of Louis (Kid) Kaplan others are secking a way to get a team started here, but the glimmer- ing hopes are about faded out. Tomorrow night, the atage will he all set for the preduction of a bas- ketball drama at the state armory between the Eimwood Endees and the Yational Guards. The locals will be in destructive frame ot mind thinking of the loss in Meriden Wed- nesday night to the Meriden Endecs and a great battle is being anticl- pated. Al Sloman will his family over the holldays but Rubinstein the star of Sam Pite's Colleglans will take his place in the New Britain lineup. Rubinsteln played for the first time with the National Guards in Meriden Wednesday night and al- though he wasn't able to show a great deal because he is yet unused to the style of game played in this city, he has the good« as a basket- ball player and will make good.
