s Silver City Roller Hocke) Team Displays Ample Su- periority in Victory—Speed of Visitors a Marvel- ous Thing to Watch — Hardware City Crew Makes Best Bid in Second Per iod—Final Score is 9 to 4— | Blount in Wonderful FQrm Tending Goal. Wallingford 3, Waterbury 1 The New Britain Roller Hockey team was easy prey for the Meriden Maroons in an American league game staged at the Stanley Arena. The Hardware City combination daz- zled by the speed of the visitors, went down to defeat by the score of 9 to 4 hefore one of the largest crowds assembled in the spacious auditorium this seasor The five-man combination of the Bilver City team, worked more smoothly than any seen on the local floor and every individual was floor. With Pierce in center, one of the best players ever seen in action in this city, three-rush game with ard mates Williams and Lt ed that the vi keep the ball as lo and also to bring it down Britain's goal whenever the thoug struck them Only's Blount's great work at the goal for New Britain saved the locals from a tworse beating. The guardian of the net who last year led the league in stops, had §9 last night to his credit and every one y wished to New ht of them was a stop of the spectacu- | lar variety. Never before in any the home games has he been h with such a bombardment of well placed shots as was sent to him last night. “Jigger" Higgins played with the Meriden team and showed fully as much cleverness as any of them but the New Britain team work was ab- solutely unable to compete with the speed and accuracy of the Meriden players. Willlams the first rush flashed about the floor with Lunde- ville working with him to perfec- tion. Pierce was everywhere while very few drives of the locals for the Meriden goal could get by the half- back, Morrison. It wasn't long before Meriden scored three goals. New Britain for #ix minutes made the league cham- pions travel at top speed but on one sally, Lundeville hooked the ball by Blount for the first score. Six scc- onds after this, Williams caged an- other and before the period was over, Meriden had three. jams got two more counters in the sccond period before New Britain could get started and then the Hardware City five brought the crowd to its fect with a sensational that gave the home team three Higgins and Mercer started meback and “Jigger” showed assable in getting by the . He scored New first point. Then with nice Mercer was able to get geals. the two mo; Pierce made a savage drive for the net n the third period and caged a goal while Lundeville followed with another for Meriden, Eddie Me- Aloon came through to get one for New Britain but two more by Picrce | the ; and Lundevills gave Meriden count 9 to 4. One of the features of the zame was the fact that no fouls were call- ed on cither team. Referce Rorty, when any rough work w done simply cauttoned the players favoly ed and kept the game going. Meriden just sailed along in the last minut keeping its lead and defending its goal. The Maroons, after last night's showing, have been conceded the championship again this year, unless the other teams in the league pick up. The summary: Meriden Willlams ... Firs!
