Bill Blounl in the goal was won- derfyl. That it about the only uur| to describe his work as his pa stopped drive after drive, hook ufter bhood and slice after slice as Meri- den's players tried to get the ball past him. He twisted and turned and battled every man as he came | inte the goal, He stopped almost | everything that came his way and | those goals that ¢id get by him were shots that were almost impossible to stop. Boucher's work was exceptional. He was aided considerably by Alex- snder who passed nicely but whore shote hit Purcell’s pads with a mo- notonous regularity. The ball was rolling bed for “Allee” but this didn't prevent him from shooting the pill to Boucher who sent eereamer after scrcutier by Jimmie (Corky) Purcell. It was New Britain's first win in the last five games but the vietory took all the sting out of previous defests. New Britain played rolle heckey : yesterday rafternpon,, and when the team is right, th few outfits in the league bet it.

Pleree again came in for a point as Williams pasked pret- tity to him and again the teams wore deadloclked. Howev: at this stage of the game. “BIb" Boucher started out to beat Merdden, and that is just what he 4id. He got three goals in st cession, giving New Britain a {hree goal lead «t the end of the kot 'ertod. The score was 7 10 4 in favor ' ©f the home club. The third period saw both toaing batting it out ull over the fioor. Boucher got another for New Brit- ain to be followed by one by Wil- Nams.
