Merlden ... Waterbury .. New Britain Hartford Bristol at Waterbury. Last Night's Results Hartford 6, New Britain 4. Waterbury 4, Meriden 2. An opportunity will be presented the New Britain roller hockey team tomorrow afternoon to start evening matters with Bristol when the Bell Town quintet comes here for a league contest. New Britain has fost its last two games with Bristol and the local players are all anxious to turn the tide in their favor starting tomorrow afternoon. Bristol has come along at a fast clip and right now it is considered one of the fastest and most danger- ous teams in the league. Only Thursday night, the team defeated Meriden in a wild and woolly game by the score of 15 to 14 and in ita recent battles with the other teams in the league, it has shown plenty of stuft. Duggan and Pierce who form the rush line for Bristol have worked up a game between them that is hard to beat. Both are fast on the flo: and both are hard hitters. Backing them up in-the pivotal position is Harry Thompson, elongated center. who has entirely changed the com. plexion of the Bristol team. Hardy at halfback plays a great game while “Mosey” Conley in the goal, will rate with the best cage guard- ian in the league. New Britain will be set for a ter- rific battle, Alexander and Bouch- or will stick to the line on the rush positions while “Gid” Brown will whale away at center. Captain Archle Muirhead will be in halfback with Bill Blount guarding the cage. Preliminary Game The Dodge and Chrysler teams will battle in the preliminary game a regularly scheduled one in the Automobila league. The Chrysler team will make a desperate attempt to get out of the cellar and the players mean to start against the Dodge quintet tomorrow. The doors of the Stanley Arena will be. opened tomorrow at 2 o'clock. The preliminary game will start at 2:30 o'clock while the main attragtion will get under way about 3:30 o'clock. Lose in Hartford ' Flashing a three-man offense, the Hartford team last night completely routed the New Britain roller hock- ey quintet by the score of € to 4 in a game played in the Capital City. The Hardware City team went down nghting. Jean, Welch and 8t. Aubin formed a bombarding trio that caused Rill Blount to make almost impossible stops at the goal. He had a total of 63 for the night. Lovegreen had only $3 to his credit. This gives an indication of what Hartford's defense was in the con- test lpst night. Morrison continued his steady, consistent and efficient play and this enabled Jean to keep up in front and drive for the local The teams ended the first period tied with two goals each. Hartford's big inning came in the second per- iod when, the Capital City forwards got the only two counters in the ACE HUDKINS WINS OVER SAMMY BAKER Baros Decisive Victory From Former Army Man Now York, Feb. 15 (P—Ace Hud- kins had outmaneuvered Sammy Daker in the struggle for the role of weight division. In 10 rounds of fighting in Madi- son Square Garden last night, Hud- kins bombarded the one-time regular army sergeant with a ceaseless two- fisted attack that won him the de- cision of the judges. under the furious drives of the Ne- braskan, taking counts of nine on each occasion in the second and | sixth rounds. In keeping with his reputation as the wildcat of pugilism, Hudkins ripped out with his customary slam- bang tactics without a let up which frequently drew frenzled | reprisals | trom the out-classed but still game | Mitchel Field boxer. - Hudkins floored his foe in the sec- ond round with a terrific right to the jaw and then bored in with his rights and lefts to the body and | head, giving Baker no quarter. Dur- |ing a savage mixup in the sixth, Baker fell to the resin and protested a foul which was not allowed by the referee although the blow was con- sidered low. Baker arose at the count of nine and renewed the struggle, fighting back desperately but not enough to diminish the fury of the Nebraskan's vicious right to the jaw in the elghth doing, but he clinched and came back with a harder assault. Hudkins was given seven of the rounds and Baker three. The big chance of the night for Baker was in the eighth round when he drilled & hard right to the jaw. Hudkins ap- peared to be on the verge of passing | from the picture, but DBaker was slow in following up his advantage, permitting Ace to recover. By his victory, Hudkins has made the count two to one in his favor in his seriea with Baker. Ace was whipped by Baker in the first meet- ing on a technical knockout in the seventh round last summer, and in a return engagement, Hudkins car- ried off a ten-round decision.

Officlals of the Olympic commit- | tee, such as Gustavus T.

President Barn- ard declined to comment on the league's failure to reappoint him after - slx years as an American league umpire. Both the Cleveland and Washing- ton clubs were said to be opposed to reappointment of Rowland. Clark Griffith, Washington club president, petitioned his removal last fall for an alleged *“display of vindictive- ness.” Royland had to be escorted who be- 1. 8. Barnard, president of frame.

But then, Ray had ner ough to aspire to the professional prize ring; so now that he has been restored to amateur standing, he may have a chance when he hits the track again. And what reasons are MeGrath, Devan not come back? The hero of the 1926 games—a bigger here than Nurmi was fn 1924 —was Alfred G.
