LOCALS DEFEATED BY HOLYOKE TEAM Hockey Quintet Shows Little Form in Paper City Last Night's Results Meriden 6, New Haven 2, The Holyoke Roller Hockey team of the American league easily de- feated the New Britain quintet in a game played in the Paper City by the score of 6 to 1. The Holyoke team showed superior during the contest and outplayed New Britain in every department of the game. New Britain was again without the services of “Jigger” Higgins, star rush on the team and although Mercer and McAloon played a nice game together, the Providence star's absence was keenly felt, Fred Jean was the outstanding star of the game. His floor work was of high order and it was around him that most ot Holyoke's pas: work was centered, Bayer, local hoy, who is tending geal for the Paper City outfit, was exceptionally 8ood on the defense and it was his work in a great measure, that help- ed the home team to win the game. The contest was exceptionally clean, Referee 8i McDonald having no occasion to call any fouls during the night, The summary; Holyoke New Britain Hart .. McAloon 8t. Aubin . .« Mercer Pean ..., .

Answering the big marine's avowal that he will battle twice and pos- | ibly three times in the coming year | —once for Rickard and twice, pers | haps for some other promoter—the czar of Madison Square Garden de- Iclared that Tunney only has to | choose his opponents ta gain “all ! the bouts he wants” indoors this | winter, A | “It Tunney seeks fights to ward off the ring rust that he says brought about the ‘long count’ knockdown Jack Dempsey scored at Chicago then he can have them and in plenty," Rickard declared, “All he | has to do s step into the Garden, 1 fight for the champion's end— ] cent of the gate—and T'll put | him on every other week. His | carnings will be nothing like th- re- turn from the one fight last Septem- ber that netted him close to a mil- lton dollars, but if he is really in earnest, the financial aspect of the thing will not deter him. | “But Tunney is just bluffing him- self when he talks of three heavy- weight champlionship matches in a | year, Gene told me at Chicago that | one was enough, that he didn't want lany more. There is a $1.000,000 | purse in the lone scrap, but only one show like that can he put on in a season. This offer would allow Tun- ney, t0o, to comply with the regula- tions of the New York boxing com- mission, that requires a champion to defend his title at least once every six months.” Although Rickard's contract with the champlon binds Tunney for only one fight {n 1928, that contest can be held any time up until October, | the promater &aid, and would act as a bar to Tunney's seeking matches elsewhere unless a new agreement was reached.

Rickard held a conference yester- day with Leo P.
