Speaking of Sports “BIb" Boucher of the New Britain Roller Hockey team is out of the ®ame temporarily with infected toes caused by soft corns. The flashy forward of the local quintet was about town yesterday wearing a bed room slipper on his left foot. He | Wwas unable to get his shoe on. He was sorely missed in the game with Hartford last night. New Britain was heaten in the| Capital City but it was only uflerl Hartford played sensational hockey | and a terrific battle by the New Britain players. Hartford appeared to have everything coming its way. | Meriden comes here Thursday night and this should be a bitter battle. Meriden fans claim that the third period of last Sunday's game went nine minutes overtime in or- der to allow New Britain to tie the acore and then win in an extra pe- ridd. Boucher may be able to get back in the game by that time and Meriden will get another good run for its money. There i one thing we would like to see in the roller hockey league and that 1s an all-Connecticut team. Bome city in the state is able to get together a combination of Connecti- cut players that chould rate with the best teams in the league. At the present time, it is hard to find many | Connebticut players on the rosters ' of teams in the American League. Lundeville of Meriden is one ex- | nple of how players can be devel- oped. He is & MerideR boy who | started In the amateurs. He was| placed in the Meriden lineup aud he has done very good since becom- ing & regular on the team. There has becn plenty of talk about the player situation in the| league being a closed shqp. If this 18 80, then it 18 up to the managers of the various teams to take it upon | themselves to develop players from | among the ranks of the amateurs | playing In the preliminary games. In the local league, there are a number of boys who give promise ©of having plenty of hockey talent. Already a movement has been start- ed to give youngsters a chance. ‘Waterbury has taken a former Crosby High school athletic star as the sixth man on its team. Bristol has secured Eddie McAloon, junior, as the extra man on the squad. More of this would tend to give the game of roller hockey a longer life. Predictions have been rife that the game would last only a year or two becauso the player situation hag become such that no more can- didates for places on the team, with | the ablility to play along with the | " veterans,can be found. Development of youngsters is the only zalvation of the game and the | appearance of more and more Con- necticut players in the games played throughout the circuit, would tend to increase the interest of the pres- ent fans and make new ones as the years go by. There fs food for thought in the suggestion. \1 KAPLAN IN TRAINING Meriden Battler Recovers From il ness and Will Meet Two Oppo- nents This Month. | Dennis McMahon reports that Louis (Kid) Kaplan is working hard | for his coming contest at the New Haven arena on Monday, February | 13, with Bobby Mays, of New Lon- | don, holder of the Connecticut light- weight championship. IKaplan must win over Mays to hold his standing | in the lightweight division, as Mays #s not known outside of the state of | Connecticut. £ Kaplan is also matched at Roches- ter, New York, with Joe Trabon of Kansas City on February 27, and then later on he may show at Madi- | mon Square Garden in a return bout | with Bruce Flowers. At present Flowers is considered as one of the leading contenders in the east for the lightweight championship, but | Kaplan defeated Flowers last vear, and the latter must reverse this lone decision he has lost in two years to strengthen his claim for a crack at the title. Kaplan is again in good physical shape and intends taking on at least two matches a month until he re- gains the position he held in the lightweight division. Among those whom the Meriden Buzz-Saw fs anxious to meet are Billy Wallace, |1 Jimmy McLarnin. 8id Terris and the rest of the lightweight contenders. CALDWELL A STAR ¥ale Gridiron Luminary May De- velop Into Much Sought College Baseball Player. New York, Fcb. 8 (UP)—Bruce Caldwell, the Yale football hero, may develop into the much sought after oollege baseball player of the year before he hangs up his togs in June. The Yankees, Senators, Giants and Robins are very interested in Cald- well, and it is said that the Yan- kees have Caldwell's word that he will let them have a priority claim | on his services if he elects to play professional baseball. Caldwell, however, has been care- After ful not 1o do anything to Injure his ¢ amateur stonding and cause a reoc- | currence of the fncident which caused him to be barred from the Princeton and Harvard football games last fall.
