DODGE QUINTET SWANP NASHES 8till running in tough luck, the New Britain roller hockey team last night dropped an overtime decision to the Hartford quintet at the Stan- ley Arena by the score of 3 to 2. Witk the game tucked away, Dame Fortune turned her back on the Hardware City playerse and allowed the Hartford team to tle the score. | Then after three minutes and 14 seconds had been played in the over- time session, Tony Welch sent & hard drive at Bill Blount which was partially blocked. The ball got through his pads and barely rolled over the sill into the cage for a Hartford victory. Both teams lost a goal on fouls, Hartford getting three violations called on it early in the game. New Britain's third foul came in the third wession and evened the count at two-all. Several in and out goals were registered during the game and as New Britain had the edge in this department, the locals would have won had they any kind of luck at all. New Britain scored two counts in the first period to lead at the end of the first frame 2 to 1. Hartford returned the compliment and scored two te one in the second period thereby tying the count. Three fouls robbed the Capital City of one point and New Britain was leading. A third perfod without a score being furnished the fans with plenty of thrills, and when New Britain lost & goal on fouls, the game waxed fast and furiously without either side be- ing able to get through the oppos- ing goal tenders. Bill Blount and BIll Jette both were in rare form. Blount was pep- pered from all aldes and he chalked up & total of 63 stops. J:tte stopped 64 attempts to score h: the New Britain team. Art Bt. Aubin, one of the most popular players to visit this city, was struck in the groin by a drive from Jean's stick and although he was revived after a time, he had lost his speed. Alexander started the fireworks with e startling suddenness when he drove the first ball rushed off the spot through Jette's pads for a score. The goal was made in just two scconds or in the time it took him to get to the spot and drive it from there into the goal. Brown fol- lowed him in eight minutes after- wards with a long drive that got by the Hartford goal tender. Welch sneaked one by Blount to give Hart- | ford one point at the end of the period. ! Welch again got looke to score in ! the second period, but 33 seconds later Alexander came back and| caged one for New Britain. At this | point, Hartford had its third geal| called on it and it lost a goal. St. Aubin then came through for anoth- er Hartford goal and when New | Britain lost a goal and the score was | tied, things became interesting. The third period proved to be a hectic battle. Both teams played | desperately to score but none werc able to get by the pads of eitherl goal tender. The play was rough in| spots, but all in all, it was a clean exhibition. Welch’s shot in the over- time was a ligntining-like long drive that hit Blount's pads but with a i a5 PRACTIGR RAINED OUT th e. | i For the First Time in Two Succes- The summary: | Hartford.

Unable to match the speed team work of the Dodge quintet in the Automobils Roller Hockey leagu last night, the Nash team was isnowed under after the first period |in the preliminary game to the Hart- ford-New Britain contest at the Stanley Arena by the score of 7 to 1. With Eddie McAloon, Jr., and Fusar{ pairing up at the rush posi- {tions, Charlie McAloon backing them lup at center and Dick Hyland and Herbie Sautter taking care of the defense, the Dodge five worked Inearly perfect during the three pe- | riods. | The first session | fought one ending with the Dodge in the lead two to one. This how- ever, proved to be the best frame for the losing team. Three straight goals in the second frame and two more in the third and last brought |the score of the winners up to seven for the night's total. A great part of the Dodge victory must be attributed to the female an- vil chorus for the moral support given the team. On the east side bleachers, all members of the Mc- Aloon, fully 15 women kept up & rapid fire line of cheering that.cer- tainly must have inspired the play- ers on the Dodge team. Such en- thusiasm has not been seen or heard in years in this city. Hall did the best work for the Nash five. He played an excellent game on the offense but the Dodge defense was too much for him.

In 1923, he was one of the mainstays of the back- field, developing into a scnsation, hailed at the close of the year as one (of Yale's greatest backs. He was a triple threat and the Elis best punt- er since Ted Coy. From the beginning of the 1924 season, Stevens has been Tad Jones assistant coach.

PLAY PRACTICE GAME AT TRAINING SESSION Two Teams Picked Up Among Squad of Giants Working Out at Hot Springs New York, Feb. 28 (F)AThe New York Giants have made their final stand for this year at Hot Springs, | Ark., by playing a 2-all six inning ball game, The training scent moved today to Augusta, Ga. The Giants collected two make- shift squads yesterday out of the bat- terymen and another odd lot of players. Manager McGraw served a8 umpire. One side took the name “Cold Waters," with Fitzeimmons on the mound. Before the game | ended he was pitching for the op- position, known as the “Hot Wa- ters.”” Art Johnson, a left hander, Pitcher Waite Hoyt, the Yankee | holdout, failed to come to terms in| negotiations between Hot Springs | and Business Manager Ed Barrow of New York. Hoyt said he would | stay another week at Hot Springs and then return to New York. Florida rains impeded the work- outs of the Yankees and Robins at' St. Petersburg and Clearwater re- spectively. Twenty-three players turned out for practice at the Yanks' camp before the downpour of rain. | Babe Ruth disappointed many of his | admirers by playing golf instead of | donning a uniform. { Dazzy Vance appeared in playing togs with the Robins ul Cigu waier although he has not signed his 1928 contract. Bill Doak, the veteran i8pit ball hurler, received quite a hit of attention on his arrival at thci Brooklyn quarters. Racing greyhounds have averaged 500 yards in approximately 33 sec- onds, about 30 miles an hour, | TAYLOR T0 MEET LARRIVIER FRIDAY Winer of Bont May Enter National Title Tourpament —— Two amateur boxers, recognized as the leading welterweights of the state, will clash in the feature bout of the Mohawk A. C. amateur tour- nament at the Tabs' uall Friday night when Billy Taylor of HartfoPd, winner over Johnny Clinch of this city last Friday night, and Leo Larrivier of Waterbury, clash over the three-round route. Not since amateur fighting gained its present popularity in this city has there been such great interest shown in any bout as theresis in the coming clash in the 147 pound class. Both boys will be ready and fit for a gruelling battle and the dopesters are hard put to it to pick a winner. Neither boy has lost a fight in the w‘olterwoight class. Larrivier has several defeaats chalked up against him but these came when he was fighting as a lightweight. Since en- tering the heavier class, he has waded through all opposition with- out losing a single battle. Both are clever boxers and al- though Larrivier is thought to be the stiffer puncher, Taylor has a wallop that does damage every time that it lands. In this city among many of the followers of the ama- teur fight game, Larrivier stands the favorite but no one takes it upon himself to predict that the Franco- American battler will win. Taylor barely beat Johnny Clinch in last week's bout and many are judging his chances with Larrivier on this showing’ The winner will probably be the representative of this state at the national title championship tourna- ment to be held in Boston in April. Although the battle is not officially one for the welterweight title of the state, it is recognized everywhere as the one fight that will decide su- premacy in the 147 pound class Dan Murphy of Waterbury whose nonchalant manner in the ring while he was paving the way for a knock- | out victory last Friday, will make a return appearance in this city against Lou Carmell of Holyoke in one of the semi-final bouts. They will fight in the 170 pound class. Joe Truex of Holyoke will meet Weaver Squires of Waterbury in the 160 pound class. This should be a real slugging bee, Erny Langelier of Holyoke, 145 pounds, is down to meet Ray Dolin of Watetrbury Gerald Emard of Holyoke, will battl, Joe Dignal of Waterbury in the 135 pound class, This should be one of the features of the card. Phil Desavitch of Hartford, will be matched with Joe Adams of Wa- terbury in the 138 pound class. Jackie Haron of Waterbury will battle Del Poulet of thi scity in the 114 pound class. Entrics have also been received from Dominick Frisc of this city and Ray Taylor of Terryville, Owing to the interest in the tour- nament both here and in Hartford, tickets were placed on sale yester- day. ‘There are only a limited num- ber of reserved seaats and fans are reminded that these will be taken | immediately.

Determined to gain revenge for |its defeat by New Haven Hillhouse in the Elm City a few weeks ago, the New Britain High school basket- ball team has been going thsough daily drills under the direction of Coach George M. Cassidy. A vie- tory for the New Haven team will give it the Triangular league cham- pionship. If the Hardware City five is suc- cessful in winning from its Elm City opponents, it will have a chance for a tie with New Haven provided that team is defeated by Hartford Sat- urday and New Britain can defeat |Hartford in their meeting an March |16 in the Stanley Arena. New Brit- ain High school has not won a Tri- angular game this year. It lost both game in football and the first two of the home and home games in baslketball. Chances of winning the first tri-games at the expense of Hartford and New Haven in basket- hall are great since New Britain will be playing on its home floor. The Red & Gold team has mot ost two games in basketball to New |Haven for several years back. The {Elm City outfit has been taken twice {on a few occasions and has won its home game on several occasions, but ‘it has not succeeded in winning jvery often on New Britain's floor. | This is a year for New Haven to break the New Britain jinx, New Haven defeated New Britain 33 to 26 in New Haven in the first eeting of the two in basketball his season. The team that will probably take the floor is Alex Zaleski and Henry Krasjewski, forwards; Fred Saun- ders, center; and Eddie Sowka and Louls Landino, guards. Because of the constant shifting voesess Glick | | | die Sowka, is forced to stay in the back court. This shifting has been in effect for the past four games. Occasionally alumni players who formerly carried the colors of the Red and Gold team stop in to watch the players at practice, They com- ment on the speed and cleverness of the players. If the team can muster up a de- fense that will hold Pitch and Gil- dea, the game is won. Golden opportunities listed aplenty ‘in Herald Classified Ads.

Industrial Basketball league to advance to within a half game of the Stanley Works in second place tand to within a game of Corbin 'Screw team which is in firat place in the two men's game at the Stanley arena tonight. Opponents for the night are Stanley Rule and Corbin Cabinet Lock quintets. The opening contest of the eve- ning will see Landers and New Brit- ain Machine girls in one of the few girls’ games left for the season. Although Stanley Rule and Corbin Cabinet Lock teams have been beat- en in former contests with their op- ponents of tonight, they have been playing a better brand of basketball |in the last few games, and have been | beaten only by spurts at the finish, Girls’ Game Landers girls are anxious to “‘clean up” at the expense of the New Brit- ain Machine five before the game with Stanley Rule next week. The race for the girle' title lies between Stanley Rule and Landers with the |P. & F. Corbin team having an out- Iside chance. The only losses chalked up against the three leaders have been by one of the other two. None of the three tail-end teams have been successful in putting a victory over on Landers, Rulers, or P. & F. Corbins. After tonight’s game Landers has two games to play, one with the Rule Shop a week from tonight and a play-off of a tie in the opening game of the seasdn. It Landers loses to- night there will be a tie between the Unjversals and Rulers which will probably be decided in the two games with Landers. The Rule 8hop team plays P, & F, Corbins Saturday. Should the P. & F. and Landers teams defcat the Rule Shop there is a great possibility that the play-off game may not be necessary. Landers girls will lineup with the same team that carried it to seven straight victories this year. It fol- lows: Jacobs, center; Sartinsky and Terwilliger, forwards; Drayer and Lynch, guards; New Britain Machine will have Sinkiewicz center; Musso and Nappi, forwards; F. Kendzior and 8. Kendzior, guards. First Men's Game Stanley Rule will go on the floor with the following lineup: Walthers, center; Bengtson and Morin, for- wards; Murphy and Corazzo, guards, Landers will probably start the fol- lowing lineup: Kaminsky, center; Bucheri, ¥. Marsall, and L. Marsali, forwards; Preisser, Nester, and Litke, guards. Fafnir-Corbin Cabinet | TFanirs will start with the usual {ilneup: Gierochowski, center; LaHar jand Havlick, forwards; Matulis, | Wilson, and Beloin, guards. The probable lineup for Corbin Cabinet Lock will be O'Toole, center; Walth. ers and Yankaskas, forwards; Lar- json and Ostroski, guards.
