Speaking of Sports Captain Archie Muirhead of the New Britain Roller Hockey team has the hardest head of any man in the game. Last night he caught a ter- rific drive square on the “button" and he failed to go down. This is the third bump in the face he has received In the last two games. After seeing him weather the storm last night, many remarked that he was in the wrong game when blows like he received couldn't knock him ' down., He should be a prize-fighter. Boucher is fast becoming recog* nized as one of the Lest players in the game., Were the plaudits for tlor work to be given to any simslc man last night they should have gone to Boucher because he was the outstanding star of the game from this viewpoint. We mentioned in our columns a short time ago that Conley, though a4 member of a tail-end team, was one of the best goal tenders in the league. Our statement was fully corroborated last night by his won- derful work before Wallingford's cage. No spactacle in goal tending could be compared with that fur- nished by the Wallingford man last night when he broke the league's record for stops by chalking up 116. Bill Blount had an easy time of it last night and that probably ac- counted for the four goals that Wallingford got. Blount had so lit- tle to do with "Gid" Brown stopping most of the drives at the local cage that those goals that did get by him caught him cold and lonesome with Ms mates up on the Wallingford aide of the rink. The mecond-last and last place teams of the first part of the league certainly played like champions last right. Wallingford ia getting a new center, Thompson from the west and Hardy will be shifted to halfback. When this takes place, look out for Wallingford. Manager Clarence Lanpher of the New Britain basketball team, be- cause of the numerous demands for reserve seats has reserved the entire balcony for tomorrow night when the Atlas five of New Haven plays here, The Holyoke Mohawks last night defeated the Renaissance I'ive of New York in Holyoke by the score of 32 to 26. Crowley, of the Bristol Endees held “Cappy” Ricks to a lone field goal and helped greatly in his team’s vicjory. The Harlem _five was played to a standstill. ‘That reminds us. The Negro quin- tet will make their second appear- ance in this city on cither January 21 or January 28, This will be & baitJe of battles because New Britain uot s0 long ngo, beat the Renafn- sunce Fiva just as the Holyoke Mo- hawlks did last night. We arise to remark that although, Manager Kramer of the New K team: has «aid, “We cannot af- ford to ba bgaten by teams of this caliber,” meaning New Britain, hi ag team can be beaten and has becr | twice.

GENE 70 PLAY TEX Tunney and Rickard Have s Date To Play Golf Togcther in Miami Nest Week. New York, Jan. 8 (UP)—Gene Tunney and Tex Rickard have a |date to play golf loxjther in Miami, Florida, next week. Which seems to be a definite an- swer to the so-called trouble be- tween the champion and the pro- imoter. Tunney has been saying a lot of things about Rickard, but it seems that Gene just wants to keep the world from forgetting just who is heavyweight champien. It will be remembered that Tun- ney got himself a lot of publicity a year ago by pretending he was going to fight for Humbert Fugazy, but when it came time to sign papers for the fight Gene forgot-all about any- one but Rickard.

Last winter they played three games in this sec- tion and placed two of them on the right side of the book. In their first game in this section they were nosed out in a thrilling battle by the local outfit, but quickly regained their winning stride by defeating the Mer- iden Endees and Waterbury Tabs within the next few days. in the season, however, they also demonstrated their ability by taking the Carrollmen over the bumps at Syracuse, Coach Tad Caughan, former Con- necticut league baseball star, will bring down his strongest lineup, showing some of the niftiest semi- pro performers in New York state who have compiled a wonderful rec- ord to date, placing ten out of twelve starts in the victory column. Last season the Gearmen were rcgarded as central New York state champs and also champions of the Syracuse City league. The Syracuse team may call upon the services of such performers as Eddie Mesmer, Joe Mara, Hayes and Ken McDonald, forwards; Tommy Allen and George Harter, center; and Captain Jimmy Pelcher, Joe Mack, George Mesmer and Jim- my Nolan, guards. This team is practically the same one that so ably represented them last season. In Tommy Allen, the visitors are repre- sented by a youngsters whose serv- ices are sought by the Rochester and Clevelend teams in the American league, but is unable to sign due to the fact that he will enter Syracuse |university in February. The New Departures will present thelr regular lineup which will in- clyde the first appearance of Jahnson, Jersey flash, whose initial performance in a Bristol uniform against the Hartford Yankees Wed- nesday night, was one of the out- standing features of the game. John- son will pair off with Captain Jimmy Malcolm, who has recovered from in the front court. Jiggs Donoghue will jump center and Wardy Waterman, Jim Manning and | Nelson Crowley will hold down the back court with Steg Zetarski and Dutch Leonard in reserve, WITH THE BOWLERS PALACE ALLEYS RUSTELL & ERWIN LEAGUR Recon o 8 91 78— 240 Later on | Frank | Bill | se Newburyport, Mass., Jan. ¢ (UP) ~——Thanks to Mayor “Boasy" Gillis, the red-headed ex-saflor, Newbury- port had a brand new police code today. The city’s 17 “cops™ most of whom had arrested “Bossy” at one time or another, were lined up at headquarters last night and told “where they get off.” Following are a few pithy para graphs from the mayor's long advis. ory address: “I want you fellars to keep the kids out of the poolrooms want you to keep 'em off the streets after 9 o'clock at night. When 1 was a kid I used to like to shoot & game of pool and I used to like to hang around town late, but 1 don't think it done me any good.” ers.

The fourth already is working nights. “Bossy" explained his action in the opening words of his advisory address; “We all make our mistakes,” he said, “and I've made mine. 1 was going to do a job on you fellows.
