Speaking of Sports The appearance of the New Brit- sin Red Wings in New York last night created a sensation for the large crowd of réller skating enthu- siasts present. They had never ssen & fully equipped quintet befors and when the ldcal” players came onto the rink with their pads and stops, ‘wonderment was expressed on all sides, George Bayer drew more atten. tion than the big bear does at the z00. He wore the full regalia of a &oal tender and to the uninitiated, this s certainly a sight well worth . seeing. ‘The game was & fast one although the locals were not too anzious 1o .win, It was received with such fa- vor, however, that arrangements were made to have the Meriden semi-pro team play there next week, —_— N\ New Britain, that is the Red ‘Wings, will appear for their second game in the New York rink two reeks from last night. George Bayer landed a job as goal tender for the New York club last night. Manager Ronald Cioni was carried away with his performance and the fans went wild about him. Jimmy Clinton has also been hired to play on the rush line. They will &0 to New York every Wednesday night. Circus shots by members of the New Britain and New Haven Hill- house High school teams were the Teal features of the basketball game at the Stanley Arena last night, New Haven had unusual luck with them and the majority of the points scor- ed by the Elm City in ita victory mas on these trick shots. This atyle of play is a detriment to the New Britain team. The play- ers are constantly trying for these classy shots when they should be playing for good old-fashioned pass- work. The team dues not seem to work the ball in. A player gets down on the side of the court, looks the other way, and “hooks” the ball in the direction of the basket, New Haven seemed to be just as had but the Elm City team made & good percentage of their shots, POLO PLAYERS PREPARE FOR TOURNEY MATCHES Pacific Coast Champlonships to Be Decided As Play Starts Saturday Del Monte, Ci Feb. 7 M—Del Sonte today temporarily became the polo capital of America as famous players of the game lined up for. preliminary play in the Pacific coast championships.

The summary: New Britain Blues Girls PHILLIES ACQUIRE GREATER STRENGTH Toum May, Bo Hondod lor Some thing Better This Season —p— New York, Feb. ¥ (UP)~Things are 'looking nu for the Philadelphia Phillies. After spending seven out of the last ten years in the National league celiar and the other three in seventh place, the Phillies may be headed for something better this season. For one thing, the Phillies will have one of the youngest inflelds in the majors and certalnly far from the worst. Don Hurst at first, Fres. co Thompeon at second, Tommy Thevenow at short and Pinkey Whit. ney at third will give the Phils a young, hustling infield which should compare with any in the Natienal league. Thompson is looked wpon as one of the best second basemen in the league, Hurst, whe played in 107 games for the Phils last sea- son, suffered during the last three weeks from a leg injury, Thevenow a star with the Cardinals in 1926, hopes to regain his form in new sur- roundings this season. Whitney is one of the timeliest hitters in the majors. He drove in 100 runs last scason, his first with the Phils, which was ten more than Paul Waner, socond batsman in the league with an average of ‘370 and only three less than Hornsby, the lcague's leading batsman. The Phillies have only five out. flelders on the squad. They are Chuck Klein, who made good in sen- sational fashion last season; Lefty O'Doul, acquired in the trade which sent Fred Leach to the Giants: Homer Peél, youngster from Houston; Deénny Sothern, who was with the club last season; and the 40 year old veteran Cy Williams who can still sock ‘em. Great things are expected from Peel, who was up befors with the Cardinali An . injury slowed him up last spring but he batted at a .380 clip during the last two months with Houston. ‘The Phils have 14 pitchers, six of them new additions. Luther Reoy, who has had tryouts with the In. dians, Benators and Cubs, will be given a thorough trial. He won 20 sam nd lost only 6 for Birming- ham last season. Phil Collins, who won 15 and lost 15 games for New Orleans; Jim Milligan, who won 12 games and lost 7 for Byracuse and was with the Phils the last two weeks of the 1928 season;: and Earl Caldwell from Waco, who won 12 sames and lost 14 last season, are the other new pitchers of promise. Virgll Davis and Walter LeNan are expected to 160k after the catch- ing again. Both re youngsters, joining the Phils last season. George Susce, & former University of Pitts- burgh star, will be given a tryout behind the bat. In his effort to bulld a winning team out of the Philliés, Manager Burt Bhotton has discarded most of his veterans and turned almost en- tirely to young play:rs. There arc only four players past 30 on the squad of 29 players. Besides Wil- liams, the veterans are Alex Fergu- son, 30, Bob McGraw, 31 and Lefty 0'Doul, 32. The Phillies tentative squad fol- jows: Catcheérs—Davis, Lerian, Busce. Pitchers—Benge, Collins, Milli- gan, Ferguson, McGraw, Baecht, Roy Sweetland, Willoughby, Ulrich, Green, Infield—Hurst at first, Thompson at second, Thevenow at short, Whit- ney at third. Friberg, utility. Outfield—Klein, O'Doul, Sothern, Williams. WITH THE BOWLERS FRATERNITY ALLEYS Peel, B. Lindberg Anderson Daylatrom Frisk K. Lindverg 101 a2 $37—1smt A. Odman Linn 1.

The game was the firet real roller polo game seen in the etropolitan rink and it is proving to be one of the most popular sports ever seen there. George Bayer, especially, with his goal tender’'s paraphernalia, brought the house down as he did his stuft before the cage. The fans were given thrill after thrill as the ball bounded off hia pads. As a concession to the Wew Britain team, the management played with the regulation ball and regular sticks. Yale, a former star, was the big pin for the New Yorkers while Clin. ton on the floor and Bayer In the cage, starred for the locals.
