Speaking of Sports Managers of teams in the Ameri- can Rolter Hockey League will meet today in Hartford to discuss the closing of the playing season next month. Whether the league will end or not at that time is a question \ that prevented action at the meeting held here Monday afternoon. Harry Starkic, manager of the Hartford team is in the hospital re- ceiving treatment for a carbuncle, His condition is not regarded as se- rious. “Gid" Brown, center on the New Britain team, is suffering from & badly swollen right hand and this has handicapped him greatly in his play. He reccived a bruise in Mon- day night's game here and yester- day around the knuckles, the hand was almost twice ita alze. Archie Mulrhead {s a walking eripple from injuries reccived in re- cent games, Archie received a cut on his right knee in a game last week. Last Sunday, he was hit on the muscle on the left leg. He has & bruise on his left jaw and another cut on his right cheek. r Archic’s only comment when re- marks are made about the numer- ous bruises he receives, is that he s in the wrong game. He thinks he should have been & prize fighter rather than a hockey player. herc's plenty of action these days and e::ulnn at the North End park skating pond where ice polo has gained the popular chord with these who love ice sports. The thaw of last night tollowing & deluge [} rain has probably interrupted the sport for some time ‘but previous to the warm spell, many skaters were indulging in the pastime. he game is played with a ball flmihr‘t‘o NRY used in roller hoc- key and with the small “shinny’ sticks. Eddie McAloon,- Junior, is & star at this game. fhe .deluge of rain last night spoiled a possible chance for Bristol fans to see father and son In action in the game between Bristol and New Britain, Eddie McAloan, senlor, is sixth man on New Britain and ¥ddle, junior, is sixth man on Bris- tol, I might have been possible for father and son to get againat each ether in the contest. e Boucher had especially tough luck in the contest with the Bell Towners. He had at least five in and out goals in the game. With Bris. tol winning § to ¢, had thess other goals, three of which were absolute- 1y in, been scored, New Britain would have had a sizeable lead. Interest in the game here betwecn New Britain and the Atlas basket- ball teams is rising to fever pitch as the date for the contest draws near. The quintets clash Saturday night at the Stanley Arena. The Atlas Five, it became known today, has also cancelled its game with Bristol scheduled for Friday night in New Haven. The New Ha- ven management made a request of Manager Joe Carroll of the Briatol Endees ta call off the game for this week. The reason is that the Atlas players want to be in the best possible condition for the meeting with New Britain Saturday night. New Britain, having cancelled the game with Waterbury in Waterbury Thursday night, had probably the same reason for this action as New Haven did in postponing its clash with Bristos The game Saturday night should he an epic context. TWO GANES THIS WEEK Tigh School Quintet Mcets Bulkeley Friday and Meriden Five Satur. day Afternoon. Authoritles at the New Britain High school have arranged for a double basketball attraction at the school during this week. Bulkeley High school of Hartford will be at the gymnasium on Friday afternoon and Laurel Busineas College of Mer- iden will send ita crack team to this city S8aturday afternoon to gain re- venge for ar overtime defeat it suf- fered in Meriden recently, 8o far this year the team has en.

New York, Feb, 15 (M — Interest i track affairs mouated today with the presence of Roland Locke, Ne- braska’s sprint star, who is here to joln the New York A..C. with prospects of competing in three in. door events during the next two wecks. Locke, who holds the world's 220-yard record, will make his initial New York appearance at the Neow York A.

The enthustasm of the United Statea, as indicated in differences of opinion batween players and officials regarding whether America's best chances are in the European or | American zpne, is echoed in the an- | tipodes where Auatralia after a | year's absence from the interngtion- alista is having some trouble in se- lecting its team. Australia’s contingent which will play In the Furopean zone probably | will be composed equally of veterans and newcomers to foreign courta Gerald Patterson, he of the cannon- ball service, and John B. Hawkes, now conaidercd the greatest singles player below the equator, are the veterans. Besides their singles ability they are famous as a doubles team. ‘The youngsters, Jack Crawford, 19 year old junior champion, and H. O, Hopman, & sensational Sydney youtn, probably will round out the team. While Hopman is not likely to en- #age Ih any of the matches with the strong teams in the Eurepean zone, Crawford undoubtedly will be given a chance to display hia prowess at the net. Crawford's daring is reminiscent of Brookes and Wilding who kept the Davis cup in Australasia through six campaigns. When Patterson waa last {n the United States, he made a prediction that young Crawford was Gestined to be one of the world's | outstanding players. Crawford's brilllance in the laat two years has more than justified Patterson's forgpast. The youngster thoroughly outclassed all the junior players of the island commonwealth and has shown superb form in the senior eventa. An Indication of his | strength and versatility was reflect- ed during ‘the recent {invasion of Australia by the French plyers. In the Australlan singles cham- plonships held at Bydney early this month, Crawford extended Jean Borotra, the bounding Basque, rto five gruelling scts hefore the French. man could win, Then last week, 1n the team play between Australia and France, Crawford defeated Borotra 6.1, 6-4. | Patterson and Hawkes are report. od in great form and with the aid | of this brilliant youth, they view the forthcoming clashes in Europe with more optimism than they had since Tilden and Johnston defeatcd Brookes and Patterson in five straight matches in the 1920 ehal- | lenge round at Auckland, New Zea- land.

Hartford's entry in the Ameriean Roller Hockey league, fresh from a victory last might over the leagus leading Meriden Maroons, will clash with New Britain at the Stanley Arena on Church street tomorrow night. In its last appearance here, the Capital City crew was defeated by the local club but a new spirit will inspire the visitors in the game to- morrow. Fred Jean, Hartford captain, in- censed because his proud boast of last week that Hartford could beat New Britain easily, was shown to be only idle talk, has raked his charges over the coals and the visiting team will be out to win tomerrow night. Whenever Jean is in fighting trim there is bound to be plenty of firc in the game. Hartford will have its usual line- up with Welch and 8t. Aubin on the rush line, Jean at center, Arriuda at halfback and Lovegreen in goal. New Britain wil have Alexander and Boucher at the rushes, Brown at center, Muirhead at halfback and Blount at goal.
