Eight teams are being | schedule is about formed and the ready to start. 4 similar league was conducted last season and it proved to be one of the most interesting of its kind in the city. Enthusiasm for the re- organization of the circuit again this year is running high and plenty of interest should be shown in the game results. Two ice hockey tcams have al- ! ready applied for memlership in the proposed New Britain ice hockey league which is about to be forfed. One is the Shuttle Mcadow A.

Tough luck sat on the trail of the New Britain Roller Hockey team vesterday afternoon in its game with Meriden. The locals should have trimmed last year's champions but players are helpless when the ball refuses to go in the cage. Then, when scveral goals arc made and they come right out. they sort of take the heart out of the men shoot- ing for them. “Kid” Williams and Harr, Thompson worked like Trojans in vesterday's game and had luck given them a “break” at all, the locals would have won.

NUMEROUS TRADES MADE THS YEAR Some Major League Clubs Have Totally Revised Rosters New York, Dee. 17 UP—It may be that 1928 will become known in baseball circles as the year of the The playing season 1{s no more than two months past yet already some clubs have so radically revised their rosters than,a fan may be ex- cused for being a bit bewildered as he sces apparent fixtures shunted from one major league team to an- other or else into the minors. | It has become an annual feature for Rogers Hornsby to go on the | markets, and Emil Fuchs, of the Boston Braves didn’t dbappoint a waiting gublic. He graciously gave “The Rajah” to the Chicago Cubs for Percy Jones, Freddy Maguire, rookies players and a fat bundle of cash. 1 Not to be outdone by their Na- tional league rivals. the Boston Red Sox have consented to let Washing- ton have Buddy Myer, crack third- baseman, for the trifiing considera- | tion of five players. Myer was the | Red Sox's best batter last year and the league’s leading exponent of the art of stolen bases. Bill Carrigan, manager of the Red Sox, will have to find room for Horace Lisenbec and Milt Gaston, pitchers; Bobby Lieeves and Grant Gillis, inflelders, and Ed Bigelow, a Southern associ- ation outfielder, who clouted minor league pitching with abandon. Pitsburgh needed a left-handed pitcher, 50 the Pirates sent Glenn Wright to the Brookiyn Robins for Jess Petty and Harry Riconda, the latter an inflelder when he's not sit- ting on the bench.

ANERICANS KEEP LEAD N HOCKEY New York Team Noses Gut Chi-| Gago Black Hawks 1 to 0 Chicago, Dec. 17 (#+—A wmore bril- liant defense than offense retained for the New York Americans undis- puted possession of first place in the American division of the Nation- al Hockey League. as they defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 1 to 0 last night before a crowd of 6,000 at the Coliseum. Tho Americans flashed a speedy offense for a few minutes in the first perlod, that scored a goal by Cona- cher in 15:50. Thereafter the league leaders were content to play the de- fense, displayifig a checking gam that turned back every thrust of the Hawks into the American’s territory. Vic Ripley was the only Hawk that was able to cope with the Americans defense, 1t was the rookie wingman's speedy skating and handling of the puck in the last period that threat- ened to tie the score. The lineups: Chicago Gagdiner .... Americans Worters Loughlin | Wentworth .... Irvin ... March Goltselig Sheppard Chicago sparcs—McKinnon, ture, Arbour, Hoffinger. American sparcs—Spring, Himes, Dye, Conners, MyVeigh. Officials—O'Hara and Rodden. The summary: First period— acher 15:50. Penalties—onners. Second period—No goals .

UP—The New York Dally News published & copy- | right article by John Chapman today which said that Gil Boag, husband of Gilda Gray, had accused the mo- tion picture actress of having “fre- quently and habitually committed misconduct with her manager, C. D. Krepps. The Daily News sald it had re- ecived its information from Port Washington, Wis,, where Boag Is ing. Miss Gray arrived from Europe yesterday and denied she would marry Krepps, the newspaper sald. “Ridiculous.” she was quoted as having said. “It may be the custom in America for famous actresses and prima donnas to marry their man. agers, but as far as I'm concerned, 1 do not follow customs. “My divorce action fs going through. I'm going to get rid of him (Boag) quick, and I'm not going to marry for some time. I'm devoted to my art." Miss Gray, who shimmied her way to fame before turning motion pic- ture actress, went directly from the French line pier to the railroad sta- | tion and boarded a train for Chi- cago. There she will visit her parents— who are named Michalski and not Gray—and then she will go to Mil- waukee to see her 14-year-old son by her first marriage. Tt was in Mil- waukee that Miss Gray shimmied in the sawdust when she was growing out of her teens. In those days she | was Mary Michalski, a little Polish girl whose dancing added a new word to the American vocabulary. The Daily News said Krepps formerly was an usher in a Chicago motion plicture theater. Now he is said to earn $400 a week as Miss Gray's manager. ndo Tassi Battles George Smith Tonight ew Haven, Conn., Dec. 17.— (UP)—Nando Tassi, the Italian poet, wil clash with George Smith, Todgh Newark, N.
