For the i 1 New Rritain sneases. “Red” Williams Thomson Gazzinga Donnelly Doherty .. . Hebert Welch . Blount [ New Britain, standing on the hecls of the Albany Roller Hockey club in the race for first place in the American League, has two oppor- tunities tonight and tomorrow afte- | noon to go into first place providing the goddess of luck smiles on th- local quintet. Tonight the team goes to Provi- | dence to meet “Wild Bill" Duggan | and his mates while tomorrow aft- | ernoon, the Waterbury team is dv to show here. Tomorrow afternoon’s game at the Stanley Arena will bring against each other, two members of the same family, both of wiom are| among the league's leading scorers. They ate “Kid” Williams of the New Britain team and “Red” Williams of Waterbury, brothers, | Both of these boys have a pen- chant for making life miserable for the opposing goal tenders. The lo- cal player leads the entire league in the number of goals made while his brother, in three games played, caged 17 counters. Besides the other member of the| Williams family, Waterbury will! Reds need a punch and | they nced it badly if they arc to figure in the 1929 National lcague | pennant race. Although the Reds | as a team batted only one point less | than the Cardinals last season, Cin-, cinnati was without a punc! l|»-‘ teds got lots of uscless singles, but few doubles, triples and home runs | in the pinche: Out of a squad of %S ordered 1o report at Orlando, Fla., February | 26, 17 are newcomers. They include | _eight pitchers, four outficlders, three infielders and two catchers. Three of the Reds’ best looking | newcomers are outficlders. It may | happen that Hendricks will pick up | a couple of regular outficlders as; Pat Moran did before Cincinnati won the pennant in 1919, Estel Crabtree, who batted .353 |for Oklahoma City, and Ernest Swanson, who batt .346 for the Mission Pacific Coast league club, look like a pair of players the Reds | have been waiting for. Swanson hit 53 doubles and stole 49 bases last | season. Walter Shaner, who had a | tryout with the Red Sox and batted | .330 for Chattanooga, and Jack Hill, | University of California star, are| the other two outfield additions. Ethan Allen, Marty Callaghan, | Iiverett Purdy, Curtis Walker and Bill Zitzman are the outficlders who were with the Reds last scason and | will be back again. Changes are contemplated at first ind third base in the infield. Victor Shiell, who batted .365 for McCook, Neb., will battle with George Kelly and Wally Pipp for first base. Rube | Lutzke, formerly with the Cleveland | Indians who batted .305 for Newark | last season, will compete with Joe | Stripp, who showed signs of being | a hitter after he came from Colum- bus last season, and Charley Dres- | sen for third base. | Hughie Critz-and Horace Ford. | who set a world record for double plays last season, will form the sec- | onl base combination. The other in- fielders are Clark Pittenger and |Luke Johnson, a Northwestern uni- | versity product. There are no exceptional prospects | among the new pitchers. Paul Zah- ' niser, who formerly played with the Senators and Red Sox, is coming | back from Columbus for another | major league trial. Kenneth Ash. | who was recalled late last scason | fi =1 Columbus after he had won 12 | games and lost 10, may win a reg- ular berth. The other new PETE WELCH have Al Davies, one of the fastest men in the league, in one of the| rush positions. Captain Richard *“Red” Donnelly will play center with Hebert at halfback. Bill Blount will be {n the goal. New Britain will use its champ- fonship rush line in the game with ‘Williams and Thompson playng first and second respectively. Gazzinga will play center with Barney Do. herty at halfback, Pete Welch, whose work during the recent games has stamped him as one of the best goalies in the circuit, will be in th cage.

New York, Feb. dfi—\'ou don’t have to be a big fell with a reach that sprawls all over the green to become a crac< billiard player. When you haven't a long reach and happen 10 be built rather close 1o the ground, you operate your cue under handicaps but what’s a handi- cap or two if you have a fighting heart and the ambition to be a big shot? Kinrey Matsuyama, one ‘of Nip- pon's smiling sons, ranks with the best cue artists in the world and he's there among the topnotchers be- cause he didn’t let things like rmall stature and a lack of reach bother him greatly. Matsuyama is only 59 inches tall; or, rather four fect eleven inches. And he weighs only 92 pounds. But how many balkline players can you name who are hetter than he is? Not as many as you have fingers on your left hand! And does he think he is good? Yot. in a modest way, to be sure. “Under equal conditions, I'll beat any player in the world,” he said recently, Not cocky, just confident. Ry equal conditions, he meant for each player to play on a tabhle com- mensurable with their physical size. He realizes the regulation billiard table—ten feet in length, five feet wide, nand 32 inches in height— offers ebstacles to his hest play, but he can do nothing abhout it. He knows it is just unfortunate that he is so tiny. “Schaefer is six feet tall and T'm only four feet eleven inches in The table is 32 inches high. of me above the table and that pre- vents me from seceing the far side of the obhject ball. That hurts my judgment of distance. “My reach with wmy right arm is 221, inches. Schaefer's reach is fen inches more. to finger tip is two inches less than his and the circumference of my palm is three inches less than his. Those things handicap one. “But what of it?

JACK ROTHENFLLD week, With the Meridenites 1 one victory over the locals alr in the present home and home ser- . there is no doubt but that the visitors will be confident of taking the second tonight. Because of its grcat showing in the second half of the game played in Meriden Tiesday night, the New Britain team and fans who saw it in action earlier in the week, feeis just as confident that the score for the week will be evened up after to- night’s game. Last Tuesday, after trailing along in the first half, the local crew hit top speed and ou.. played and outscored the Merid tecam. Only the great work of Cohea saved the Endees from losing tme advantage they had piled up in the opening session. The strongest lineups available to the two clubs will be sent into ae- tion tonight. Meriden will most probably start with Billy Cook and Jack Rothenfeld at the forward. Jerry Conway will be at center while Gordon and Cohen will probably play the guards, “Red” Lingner and will form the reserve force, New Britain will start with its re- vamped lincup in action, Sloman and Zakzewski will take the forward stations with “Jiggs” Donoghue at center, Shechan, Leary or Arburr will be in the back court.
