§ Speaking ;of Sport Albany is back all alone in the lead in the American Roller "lockey League following its victory over the New Britain team last night in the Empire State capital city. Frem acoounts of the game, it appears that the Albany victory was a syn- thetie one with a “brand new” veferee lending & heiping hand. New Britain was leading in the eontest until the referee called & third foul on the local club.

If the local club does score & victory, it will be back in a tie again with Albany for first place. Pete Gassings was not with New Rritain in the game yesterday. He is unahlé to play the road gmes on ccount of the position he holds in Meriden. There he is superinten- dent of the Southern New England Telephone Co. working force and he cannot get away from his pesition mo many times the league re- quires, He will play in all of New Britain's home games, , With the withdrawal of the Bridgeport 1 from the league and enly five teams now playing, it appears to us to be & good move to investigate the query aent in from Poughkeepsie about selling a franchise in that city, A five-team league brings the eppesing teams areund to each city a little too often. At first, the game was drawing well in Rridgeport but ef late, it h been going badly.

Oleon’s Terrible Bwedes ll‘nre(! a victery over New Britain here Sat- urday night in basketball but it shoyld never have been. Had the ‘Weaterners met the locals in a cou- ple of weeks, we think that the re- sylt would have been quite different. | Coming they did, just as Ru- benstein was back with the club the Swedes met a team that was not as highly organized as it might be. Despite this, we thought that New Rritain outplayed the visiters on th= fleer hut weakness in finding the heep, served to cause the defeat of the lecals. The Westerners displayed & brand mew stylo of basketball, playing poasession more than dcoring. The wvisiters believe that as long as they have the ball, it keeps the opposi- from wcering points.

Ralph Recane made his first ap- pearance as & basketball referee in the Burritt-Bouthingten prelimingry game Saturday night and he did a remarkably goed jeb. Througheut the game there was not a single kick registered against his decisions. Ralph had a particularly tough assignment. The previous Burritt- Southington game, played in South- ington, was a rough and tumble af- felr and according to reports it got away from the referee at times. Sat- urday night the cagle eye of Lan- ders’ girls' manager kept the teams on their best behavior.

Woburn, Mass., Plant Destroyed by Fire Woburn, Mass., Jan. 14, UP—A four and a half story factory of the Dorrington Leather company was destreyed by fire today as firemen from four towns fought the blase. The loss was estimated at $100,000. The fire had swept threugh two flogrs of the plant when discovered and the Woburn fire department called aid from Winchester, Stone- bam and Wakefleld. 8cveral families living near the factory were ordered from their homes and others prepared to fiee when it appeared probable that the flames would spread.

The deadlock which had existed for some weeks between the Arrows and Goose Gosling was shattered when the Five Aces sud- denly came to i.f. and walloped the latter team, knocking it back Into second place with & rude joilt. The Arrow victory was a snap. L. Reo topped his team in scoring. but every player on made at least one basket and no- body on the losers did anything at all on the offense.

The New Britain team ended the game with only four meu playing when two players were ejected on persomal fouls. Broadbrook had things all its own way in the first quarter and led § to 4 at the end. New Britain caged shots from all angles in the second to 19 slelore at half time. The locals drew away from their opponents in the third period and piled up a 36 to 28 lead at the beginning of the final session. A fist fight in the period halted the gime for a time.
