" The late strike in the mills hnn‘ caused a serious financial depression in the Whaling City, and this has caused attendance at the games to be very slim. At first, it was pro- posed to send the New Bedford club to Meriden. In fact, an offer for the team was being considered when the Providence deal started. 1t is probable that the Fall River team, which is also finding the go- ing*tough, financially, will be trans- ferred to Meriden. This will spread the league out consderably with a hop from Providence to Albany be- Ing the longest to be made. Bib Boucher will be away from the game for a longer time than was at first figured. Jast Friday his mending leg was examined by his . | doctor and the examination showed that the bone was not knitting pro- perly.

Pounding at Renault's body with a steady fire of short jabs, the Basque wore his opponent down in the early rounds and had him bar- 'tling to prevent a knockout in the final frame. In the eighth round and again in the tenth Paulino ap- peared on the verge of a knockout victory, but the Canadian managed to weather the attack.

They did some elever work on the floor yesterday and although Williams scored all of the goals, Thompson fed him most of the passes. The New Britain team’s winning streak was suddenly halted last nizht in Bridgeport but it is only temporary. Tomorrow night's game is the one the fans in this city want to see the locals win. That is the game with Albany, formerly the Meriden team.

Despite the absence of McElwain from the New Pritain basketball lineup, Meriden was fortunate in coming through with a win. The Jindees had to wait until three New Pritain men had been banished from the game via the personal foul route before it could draw away from New Britain. Restelli, Zak- zewski and Sloman were sent to the showers. This took most of the scoring power of the team away.
