Speaking of Sports New Britaln's victery over the Hartford Yankees last night was a Sratifying oue in that it strengthens thé Rold of the local team on first plsee in the Connecticut State League, With Bristol and New Haven meeting tonight in the Elm City, one or the ether of the twe teams will be eliminated from the running for the state title. Hartford is about finished in its hopes for the second half ehampionship as it stands now. | New Britain is in the driver's seat. New Britain has three more games to play before the schedule Is fin- ished. Hartford comes here Satur. day and New Britain has to play in New Haven and in Waterbury. Fans in this city are rooting for Bristol to eome through to defeat the Atlas team tonight but the Bell ‘Towners have a tough job on their hands. Trupin is playing center in place of Lyman whose leg was in- Jured here Baturday night. He is considersd-as good as the player whose place he is taking. | In Hartford last night, a rather slim crowd of fans turned out to| see the game and the majority of them came from New Britain. If the reports we received are right, only $50 was taken in at the box office. This brings us back te the old contention which we have always advaneed and that is that there isn't] a city or town in the entire state that supperts eports like New Bri- tain. Take other places, some sports flourish while others are all but en- | tirely abandoned. | | In New Britain, thers is harlly| & sport that isn't being supported | and we don't mean only with re-| gard to the box office. Anyone who | attends any kind of a sport in this | city will always find that New Bri- tain teams get moral support in every sense of the word. When a New Britain team is engaged against another, every fight between players 1o the fans’ fight. One thing that marks the New Britain sport fan, however, is his or fer fairness towards opponents. In the heat of the battle, they might seek the enemy’s blood, but In cool- | ar moments, all due credit is given | a worthy foe. ¥ | | “Dolly” Morrison late of Meriden and Hartford, who is considered one of the best halfbacks in rollerhoc- key today, is aparently eut of the game for the rest of the season. He jumped the Hartford team after be- ing transferred there from Meriden and Owner Harry Starkie suspend- ed him indifinitely. The Hartford | magnate's action was backed up by | the managers of the teams in the | league at a league mceting in this| ety the other day. LEAD IS INCREASED Boston Bruins Have Firmer Hold on | First Place Through Victory Over | Pittsburgh. New York, Feb. 22 (P—Boston's Bruins had a tirmer grip on first | place in the American division of | the National Hockey Leagne today, | through a victory over their pet | %jinx", the Pittsburgh Pirates. ! In a bruising battle at Boston last | night, the Bruins beat the Smoky City oulfit, two to nothing and ad- vanced their lead over the N York Rangers, second in the Ameri- | can division standing. of four points, The Pirates hold third place, three | points back of the Rangers. Bos- | ton’s victory was the first it has | @#cored over the Pirates this year. In four previous meetings, the two teams played three scoreless draws while the other match went to Pittsburgh, 1-0. The Canadiens added another ! . point to their imposing total at the | “top of the Canadian division by en- | gaging Toronto in a scoreless tie at | Montreal. An overtime period fail- ed to produce a tally for either side. At New York, the Montreal Maroons went into second place in | the Canadian division by trouncing the New York Americans, 5 to 3.

C.emands con- eideration as the tutor of such stars as Charley Borah, Charley Paddock, Lee Barnes and others. | Realizing that he eannot stand as much of the wear and tear of a track and ficli campaign as before, Hal Osborn, veteran all-around star, may pass up defense of the Olympic| decathlon title in order to concen- trate on the running high jump,| where hs also is the Olympic king. | Osborn has told Lawson Roberts son he will enter the official decath- lon tryouts in connection with the Penn relays, late in April, to deter- mine just how much he can shoulder. | It he finds difficulty in the all- around test, the Illinols schoolmaster | |will turn his attention to the high |Dummy jump but Robertson s hopeful the | veteran will stage a come-back and tackle both assignments. { To judge from the way such stars as Ray Conger and Jummy Quinn| have been jumping into the lime. light, the sclection of the Olympic team will be anything but a cut and dried affair. Just when Lleyd Hahn looked to |7 have the middle distance field all to | | himself, Conger has come along to upset the Nebraskan as well as Dr. |Otto Peltzer, the German champion. |Regardiess of the merits of the el- 'howing controversy, Conger |demonstrated he has some speed to burn.
