In the early season battles Russell & Frwin and Landers were consider- ed the weakest outfits in the league. However, the Rusawin team which will take the floor tonight should be the strongest that has appeared this scason. “Biffy” Levine, Phantom star guard, has become eligible and with the addition of George Luke who be- | came eligible a few weeks ago added to the team which started the sea- | <on, R. & E. will do its best to win ‘tg second game in succession.

Cabinet Lock is one of the league's tough luck teams. Last year it lost four games by one point and last week it dropped another one-point game to Stanley Rule, A victory for | Fafnirs will aid it in keeping the fast pace set by the Corbin Screw team. This may be a rough contest. | Fafnirs will start McGrath at cen- ter, Belser and Havlick at forwards and Matulis and Mieczkowski at | guard. Cabinet will use Klopp, cen- | ter; Walthers and Stohl, forwards | and Larson and Yankaskas, guards. Girls’ Game tooters for every other team in the league will be united in roofing | against the P. & F. Corbin girls in | the opening game of the night. 1If| the Lockmakers win this gam against North & Judd girls, Landers will be eliminated. A defeat will leave the Park street girls in a tic for first place with the Cohi Screw misses. Fach will have won three games and lost onc. This game is really the most im- | portant of the season and the girls | will fight to win.

The answer will be supplied to- night in Madison Squarc Garden when thess two hard-hitting light heavyweights meet in a 10-round bout which may have an important bearing net only in the 175.pound division but the heavyweight divi- sion as well. With Loughran about ready to forsake his light-heavyweight crown to campaign in the unlimited divi- sion, the winner of tonight's fight will be in direct line. to succeed Loughran, Only Jimmy Slattery, the Buffalo boy who has been troubled by inuries and iliness re- cently, will stand between the win. ner and a claim to the 175-pound title or a match with Loughran it he clects to defend his crown. Loughran’s designs on the heavy- weight championship have caused him to announce his change of residence from Philadelphia to Chi- cago, which city he believes to be the fight center of the country. Growing fast, Braddeck may bhe a full-fledged heavyweight before the end of the year. The young Jersey City fighter has one of the bes right hands in boxing.

Ga Albany at New Rritain. Providence at Fall River Whether New Britain will go back into first place in the American Roller Hockey league standing or not, depends on the outcome of its clash with the Albany quintet at the Stanley Arena on Church street to- night. Ousted out of the driver's seat which it shared with the New York statd team, last Wednesday night by Fall River, the logfils are half a game behind their opponents tonight and a win will put them in sole possession of the leading posi- tion or a loss will drop them farhter down in the list Britain will probably be without the services of Barney Do- herty, stellar halfback, in tonight's game. Barney was ill with the grip all day Wednesday, but despite this, he played in the game Wednesday night, but had to retire after the second period. He wus in bed all day yesterday and it is hardly likely that he will be well enough to get in the game tonight. This will give Albany a decidrd advantage because Barney is one of the strongest defense men in the league. Upon the shoulders of P'cte Gazzinga will fall the burden of keeping Earl and Steve Pierce un- der cover. Harry Thompson will Le at center while Perregrin will be at second rush. Albany will have its full force of players in the game. Steve and Earl Pierce will be on the rush line with Lundeville at center. ‘Moll, Morri- son will play halfback with Barni. kow in the goal.
