He caged 10 goals in New Britain's 11 to 5 victory over the Rhode Is- jland crew. He was driving at the top of his form and despite the frantic efforts of the Providence de- fense men to stop him, Willlama drove, hooked and slipped goals by Jette so fast that the score keeper could hardly keep up with him. The Providence team arrived on the floor with an impressive look- ing quintet. “Wild Bill" Dugl‘an was paired up with “Jigger” Higgins on the rush line and a nervous an- ticipation was sensed as the fans got ready for the battle. When the game got under way. Higgins or Duggan was unable to do & thing against the tight de- fense network thrown up by Barney Doherty and Pete Gazzinga. These two played like demons against the fast Providence rushers. On the floor, “Cowboy” Thompson played the leading role for the home club, With his lanky stride and his long reach, the local second rush was everywhere on the floor. He showed speed a-plenty and formed a perfect playing partner for Wil. liams, Pete Welch put in the best performance of the season in the cage. He was spectacular on every shot that got by the center and halfback and saved New Britain on various occasions. Duggan played the stellar role for the visitors but he was unable to do much against Doherty. This victory brings New Britain closer to Albany as the Empire State team split a double header with Fall River. Albany plays here Thursday night and this should prove to be one of the banner con- tests of the scason. The summary: New Britain Providence Willlams ..., +. Dugan ‘Thompson . Higgins Gazzinga .

Iist fights were frequent during the game, and the penalty box was well filled. but afterwards the players of both teams mixed it on the ice behind the New York net.

Matthew's Ger- man Lutherans by 20-18 in an ex- citing game at the Y. M, C. A, Bat- urday night and kept their hold on first place in the Inter-Church lea- gue. The game was a thriller from atart to finish, and both teams threw all their energies into the play, for it had a highly important bearing on the pennant race, The Swede victory gave that team a decided edge in the struggle, while the 8t. Matts were practically eliminated by their defeat, ¥ ‘The Swedes took the lead at the start but were closely pressed throughout the game, “‘Oskle” Erickson and Anderson accounted for four points aplece in the first half and kept the VFirst Lutherans in front by a bare 11-10. Swanson made it 12-10 as the second half opened and then, as the score went to 14.10, the two teams began to alternate in scoring. The 8t. Matts would creep to within two points of their opponents, only to have the Swedes edge away again to four points, and this sort of thing kept up all the way to the end. Erickson and Anderson starred for the Swedes, Bllly Prelsser doing good job at holding Swanson, the league's leading scorer, in check. Billy also topped his team's attack with two long shots and a foul, while Klopp played well in the second half. Nyborg and Erickson held the St. Matt forwards without a point from the floor. Confined to the foul-line, however, Reckert and “Goody" Preisser did some accurate tossing from there. The summary: . First Lutheran Ttl.

It would have been a forfeit game, anyway, due to the Bible class’s use of the ineligible |McGrath, but the Stanmors played it out and won it hy better basket- ball. Arendt and W. Stohl lifted the former tail-enders into an 11-9 lead during the first half, and during the second half the two Stohls kept up the scoring in a way that discouraged the Bible class, The E. B.

Billy Reeves, Bristol Bearcat, and George Kruse of Boston, the twe middleweights who are acheduled to clash in the main bout of the ama- teur fight tournament at the Stanley Arena tonight, are both in excellent shape for a tough fight. The princi- pals have besn working hard since they were notified of the match and each will be seeking & knockout ‘when they meet tonight. Kruse is rated as the most dan. gerous opponent Reeves has yet had to face, He is known as a knockout king in and around Beston and Reeves will have to be at his best it he is to continue his winning streak. The Bristol battler in his previous appesrances in this city, has proved to be altogether teo good for his opponents. He has scored two knockouts in his last twe fights here and he confidently expects to add Kruss to his lst of victims. The semi-annual will be another slashing affair when Loule Murrell of Torrington, state amateur feath- erweight champion, swaps punches with Billy Matte of Boston. Matte is a hard puncher and & clever boxer and he should be able to extend Murrell to the limit tenight. Burrell is the nearest thing to Bat Battalino that the fans of this city have seen in some time and he is being picked as the favorite to beat the Hub City boy tonight. The rest of the car will be made up of matches between the membere of the Boston team and the pick of thé simon pures in Connecticut. Be sides Kruss and Matte, Boston will be represented by Ray Butler, 138; Jimmie Beott 123; Jimmie Munn 150. Walter O'Connor 135 and Mike Stone 130. Torrington will have four boys in action tonight and all are rated as the leaders in their weight classes. Bristol will send a three man team here for the tournament and this will include hesides Reeves, “Sunny Boy" Hayden and Jackie Basil. Both of these boys won handily in last Monday night's fights. Besides these citles, Middletown, New Britain and Plainiville will ha teams entered and a list of bitter fights is anticipated because of the rivalry bhetween the teams for honors. ‘The tournament will con. sist of 10 bouts and the first will start promptly at 3:30 e'clock. §0.

Parker scored for New Britain after a minute of play and, although Hamlin shortly tled the score, the local guard put his team ahead again and then Rockwell be- gan & wonderful demonstration of shooting. Standing in the middle of the floor, he dropped shot after shot cleanly through the heop and, with the ald of Parker and Barta, ran the score up to 28-4 in the first ten min- utes. The second quarter found Morey getting under way with some easy and some spectacular shots, and the half-time count was 34-10. Morey, Rockwell, Wessels, and May joined in the third quarter to push the scorc further into weird figures, although by now Southington was beginning to shoot from distant spots and put some tries in. With the count 59.23, the first team retired, and the reserves fought out the re. mainder of the game, during which period Bouthington added some points on a number of tricky shots from odd angles. Nockwell's great exhibition made him the outstanding player of the game, while Morey broke through so |easily that his shots never appeared to be difficult. Parker got five baskets land had his biggest night in three |seasons, while all the other regulars found their way into the scoring at least twice.

The game {8 being introduced into the New York circles and is very popu- lar at the present time. oller polo rules will be used with the exception of the ball and the stick. Due to the fact that there are no high banks of protecting nets around the playing surface, it is re- quired that the teams in action use a major leaguo baseball and shortened hockey stick. This elimin- ates driving and cuts down the dan- ger to spectatorg. The local team will be composed of Bob Peregrin, brother to Joe, sixth man on the New Britain team, as first rush; Jimmy Clinton, second ruph; Dick Hyland, center; Frank Hoole, halfback and Bayer, goal. Arrangements were made for the game by Ronald Cioni, former old- time roller polo fan. There are a number of roller skating rinks in his section of the city and all of them have taken to staging roller hockey under ice hockey: rules. He has staged a number of games under rol- ler polo rules and the game has proved to be very popular with the fans.

IBURRITTS AGAIN SCORE VICTORY Defeat Fast Alpines of Torring: fon By 39 to 18 Count Displaying a net-like pass work throughout the game the Burritt basketball team showed the best form in severa! games when it de- feated the fast Torrington Alpines at the Btanley Arena Saturday night. The final score was 29 to 18. Although the Torrington outfit did not make a serious threat in the @ame at any time it showed a great deal of class and probably if the Burritts were net playing in thelr best form they might have scored a victory. The visitors had a good passing attack but it was often broken up by Luty and Carlson. The Alpines were the cleanest- playing team to appear on the Stan- ley Arena floor this year., The men who wore the maroon and whits stripes of the Pin City did not make & pel foul until within two minutes and “a half of the final whistle, At that time Scoville, Terrington left guard, fouled Dar- row and the New Britain guard made his team's only foul shot.

ROLLER HOCKEY TEAM SWAMPS PROVIDENCE—BRISTOL ENDEES CRUSH LOCALS IN BASKETBALL GAME — WEDNESDAY—HIGH SCHOOL MEETS HILLHOUSE HIGH AT STANLEY AREA HARDWARE CITY QUINTET OUTCLASSED BY BRISTO New Departure Basketball Team Swamps New Britain by 38 to 25 Score — Visitors Show Perfect Team Work In Game—Local Basketeers Display Demor- alized Attack and Defense—“Hank” Arburr Stars —Play Manchester Recs Tuesday Night. Out-played and out-gamed for 40 minutes of play Saturday night at the Stanley Arena, the New Britain basketball team again bowed in de- feat before the Bristol Endee quintet by the score of 38 to 25. From the play of the teams during the game, the second in the week in which New Britain was defeated by the Bell ' Town aggregation, there was no com- parison. Bristol, showing a defense that the locals were unabe to pene- trate and a smooth-working, slick- passing offensive that the New Brit- ain five was unable to stop, gave as pretty an exhibition of_perfect team play as has been seen in this city this year, The New Britain team was de- moralized. From the beginning of the game to just home crew was unable to pass, shoot or guard. Britol, playing a cautious, well-organized game worked the ball to within shooting distance of the goal and invariaby sank its shots pil- ing up a lead that grew larger with every minute of play. With Richman acting as the stem around which the well-oiled cogs re- volved, the Endees showed com- plete mastery of the situation at all times. The team gave the appearance of a major league basketball com- bination that was riding on the high crest of a victorious wave while New Britain presented the picture of a shattered shell of a team, unable to cope with the dazzling work of | the opposition. The first half was a nightmare for the New Britain fans and a mil- lenfum of delight for the Bristol | rooters, present in large forces. Aft- er a slow start, Bristol scored through a free try by Richtmyer at the 2:45 mark to be followed by a basket by Picken at the 3:30 stand. 8loman caged New . Britain's first basket as the watch read 5:06 and while Bristol was piling its total up to 18, New Britain went scoreless in a dismal exhibition of play and only at the 17 minute mark, was the team able to get through the stone wall erected by Bristol's stalwarts and score its sccond basket of the half, The score at the rest period was 18 to 4 in favor of Bristol. Second Half .. ‘The second half started off with the New Britain team fin little better circumstances, Manning started the scoring for Bristol with two free tries and Picken added a ficld basket before Bloman broke ice for New Britain with a pair of successive free tries both made good for the home club. Bristol piled its score up to 28 and then New Britain started to click. However, a short-lived rally was wiped out completely as Bristol's team put on a burst of speed and at | the 14 minute mark, the count stood at 36 to 17 in favor of the Bell | Towners. In the last five minutes the New ball it showed all night and the home team worked on more than an even basis with Bristol, but to no avail. Arburr had been put into the | game in place of Bhechan and it was his work on the floor that brought | the home club out of the fog to sec clear weather ahead. Tn the brief | space of five minutes, New Britain's spurt cut the Bristol lead from 36 to | 17 to the final count of the game. | 38 to 25. New Britain's comeback was a complete flop. Tt was the most l|fi-1 moralized exhibition ever put up by the present combination and w | presented to the largest gathering of fans of the season. Mentally sick |more than four before the end, the | Tritain team played the only hasket- | Britain team looked a combination of rankest amateurs against a team of championship caliber. On the other hand, the Bristol quintet made the game worth while, Even the most partisan of New Brite ain fans who came to sneer and snicker at the Bell Towners, were forced to applaud the Bristollites as they staged a passing exhibition that equalled anything ever seen here, Richman playing at the foul line, formed a pivot around which the Bristol team worked and the passe work was dassling and continued for minutes before & break was made and a basket caged, It was a great exhibition and the fans were forced to display appre- ciation.

Play in Manchester The New Britain feam will meet the Manchester Recreations in Mane chester tomorrow night. After the disostrous showing against Bristol Saturday night, Manager Clarence Lanpher has secured George “Jiggs' Donoghue, former RBristol Endee star, to jump center for the local team. It is hardly likely that Struch- bury, highly-touted New York player, will be retained by the local management. His poor showing Saturday night hasn't gained him any popularity, The addition of Donoghue to the team will cause a shift in the lincup, Jimmy Zakzewski will be shifted to forward to pair up with Al Sloman while Donoghue will play the pivot. The guard positions will be split up between Leary, Shechan and Arburr. The Manchester Rees have won 14 out of 15 games this year. The team is composed entirely of Man- chester players.
