One of the novel features of the contest was the fact that Captain Beers of the Silk Town combination all but beat handedly. He had an unusual run of making 30 out of his team's 34 points and had a 100 per cent record for his foul shooting. . The end of cach quarter, excepting the last, found New Britain leading by just one point. Terminating the first session, the New Britain Traders led 7 to 6. The second found the lo- cals in the lead 11 to 10 while the third saw them still towing the Silk Towners 24 to 23, The game was a pretty ducl be- tween the (wo captains, Beers and Prazbryz.

One of the greatest basketball at- tractions in the country at the pre: ent time will be seen in action in this city Saturday night when the Visitation Five of Brooklyn, N. Y., plays the New Britain quintet at the | Stanley Arena on Church street. The | visitors form a member organization of the American Basketball league and they are considered one of the strongest combinations in organized | basketball. | The team has two great forwards as scoring threats. Joe Brennan, alled “Dynamite Joe" is one of the Dest scorers n the circuit and only | Tuesday night scored 19 points in a |league game. He has been going | great guns and is the most feared man in basketball today. His run- ning mate, Conaty, was high scorer on the team against New Britain last year and he also has been going great guns in league play this season. Herlihy the center, Scrill and Cooney form one of the tightest de- { fensive combinations in the Ameri- can league. All three are dangerous scorers and all in all the quintet is due to give New Britain one of its hardest tests this year. The identical team played here last year and although New Hritain won from it, this year's combination |ig Playing remarkable basketball. The quintet occupies last place in the American league standing but this was cansed by carly season re- | verses which have not yet been rce couped. New PBritain, affer its two heart- rending games with Bristol, will be fully recovercd and ready for Saturs day's battle. Just what the combina- tion will be is a question. Williams or Sheehan might play forward with Zakzewski in center and Sloman in the other forward position. Leary | will be paired up with Sheehan or Williams at guard. | The game will start promptly at 9 o'clock.
