Speaking of Sports Keen disappointment was regis- teved last night in Waterbury by a group of New Britain roller hockey fang whe went over to the Brass City te see New Rritain in its first game. When Williams, Thompson and Doherty failed to appear on the floor, the beys thought they were getting a “run around.” Manager Frank McDonough was as mych at a loss to explain the fail- ure of the players to show up as were the fang, according to his stery this merning. However, with the dawn came the explanation. Tele- grama recelved today explained that Williams will not be able to be with the team until the first of next week. He is arranging for a leave of ab- semce from his pesition at his home but cannet get awsgy until Baturday. Manager McDonough will use Jimmy Clinten in his place until he arrives. Doherty notified the local pilot yesterday afternoon that he would be with the team starting today. Harry Thompson was held up in New York and was unable to get here on time for last night's game. Tonight, Thompson and Doherty will be in the New Britain lineup for the first time. Next week, the New Britain team will get under way with full steamm ahead. ‘The Plainfield basketball team scored a complete surprise last night by handing the Bristol Endees a stinging 37 to 20 defeat. The results of the game brought back to mind a conversation we had with a friend after the Meriden game. He said that New Britain looked good enough te defeat Meriden and Bris. tol but he would bet on Plainfield to win here, We didn't pay much attention to him at the time but we respect his opinien a greut deal more now. Plainficld has Brusso, Kaster, Red- diug, Tisdale and Dissinger, an im- posing quintet. . Although net much: is known about the Eim City Five, except that three former Atlas players are with the squad, the team manager and the players are about as cocky as anything tbat could ha imagined. This, we imagine, will be dispelled quickly in Saturday night's game. Tt s reported that *‘Pee-wee" Werwaiss may be with the New Haven squad. This is the first in- formation that he have had that Werwalss was a basketball player but it is said that he is pretty good.

As long as the New Haven team feels that way about the impending | game, it is sure to be a good battle when the two quintets clash. The visitors have un imposing list of players on their squad and these will keep the New Britain crew humping all the way. “Zcke" Chadys, by his own re- quest, will play against Al Sloman. The bitter battles waged betwees this pair in the last two seasons whenevgr New Britain and the Atlas teams have clashed, has given the fans plenty of thrills. Sloman 1s travelling at top speed this scason and if Chadys is to hold him Satur day night, he will have plenty of trouble. Now Britain's combination has been hitting a fast pace. The quin- | tet has alrcady defcated four com- binations Including the Meriden En- dees and the Brownsville Favori {amateur champions of Ne Sloman and McElwain form a pair of forwards as has been seen in this city while Zakzewski, Shechan and Leary have started out on what begins to look like their bhest season, The contest Saturday night will Istart promptly at 9 o'clock and will e followed by dancing.
