Two roller hockey teams, crippled by the loss of players through in- juries recelved in games and other- Wise staged a fast and furious battle at the Stanley Arena last night and when the dust had drifted, New Brit- ain had toppled Albany by an 11 to 6 score and thereby had returned to ita place a half game behind the league leaders. New Britain was without the serv- jces of Barney Doherty, stellar hailf- back, while the Pierce brothers of the Albany team, were suffering from injuries recelved the night be- fore in an automobile accident. Earl Pierce was forced to leave the game before the first period had ended. Joe Peregrin played second rush for New Britain while Gillette team- ed up with Steve Plerce for Albany. The teams staged a fast battle in the first period and the scores came thick and fast. Williams opened the scoring of the night with a fast drive from the side of the rink. Peregrin followed him with another | &oal for the home club and Williams came right back to score for New PETE GAZZINGA, Britain. Thompson and Peregrin chimed in with two more before Steve Pierce could break through the great defense thrown up by Gaz- zinga and Welch to score one for Al- bany. Thompson ended the period by driving a goal for New Britain. The home team led 6 to 1 at the end of the period. Albany failed to keep up the pace in the second frame but Steve Plerce worked harder than ever.

Williams and Percgrin worked nicely together on the rush | NERIDEN LAURELS IN RETURN GAME Silver City Team Expects to Beat Burritts Again Following its unexpected setback at the hands of the Meriden Laurels last Saturday evening, the Burritt basketball team will be more than anxious to avenge the defeat when the two aggregations meet in a re- turn game at the Stanley Arena to- morrow evening at 8 o'clock. The Laurels broke the Burritt's winning streak of 11 straight games and gave the locals their second defeat in 17 games. The visitors presented one of the strongest lineups to appear against the Burritts this season and ran up & lead in the first half that the locals were unable to overcome despite a furious second haif rally. The Lau- rels proved to be dead shots on long tries. While admitting that the Laurels were & fast combination, the Burritt yers laid the defeat to their tired condition. Four of the players were playing- their third game in four days while Captain Al Havlick was missing from the lineup. Manager Baunders heeded the wishes of his team and booked the Meriden five for the return game Saturday eve- ning. 2 The Meriden five was elated over it victory and is confident that it can take the locals into camp again. A defeat for the Burrits would just about ruin their title hopes for the year. Manager Baunders will start Yankubowicz and Havlick at for. words, Luty at center and Darrow and Carlson in the back court. Gill, who led the locals on the offensive last Saturday and Rose will be ready for action. The game will start at § o'clock. Plans for the deciding battle of Ilhe Burritt-Community series are ut @ standstill at the present time. Iif- forts were made to bring the state champs here Baturday but the man- iagement of the Communities re- quested an increase of $10 in the | guurantce over the previous ones. WILLIANS EQUALS RECORD IN RACE Olympic Star Wins Canadian Indoor 60-Yard Title Toronto, Ont,, Feb, 22 (M—Percy Williame' flying feet have brought him the 60-yard championship and they did it in record-equalling time. The slim Vancouver sprinter, was Leaten in one of the trial heats of the 60-yards at the Canadian na- tional indoor track and field cham- pionships here last night but came back to win the final in 6 1-5 scc- onds, equalling the world's record. | In the trial heat, Williams, off to & bad start, was second by half a foot to G.

Kaplan was all set for a layoff aft. er he had disposed of Phil McGraw, the Detroit Greek, in easy fashion in the main bout at Waterbury re- cently, but when the articles were signed for him to meet Mueller he changed his mind instantly. Fight- ing Mueller and fighting McGraw are two different things as Kaplan and | 'hh board of strategy well know, and orders were immediately issued for the Buzz 8aw to go back to work. He went back, and every day this week was busy at the Charter Oak Gym in Hartford going through his paces, ' Twelve and ffteen rounds of boxing were the order, and in addi- tion to this there were the calisthea- fcs and the road work. In sizing up Mueller as they have the pilots of Kaplan, Lou Brix and Denny McMahon, are making ne mistake. They both admit the fine Mueller's record speaks for itsell He holds & decision over Ray Miller, famous Chicagoan who in tura is the winner by knockouts over such men as Tommy Grogan, Ruby Goldatein, Jimmy McLarnin and others. On Mueller's list of accomplishments, besides his victory over Miller, are records of wins scorcd in bouts with Jackie Pilkington, Eddie Elking, Ruby Stein, Pete Petrolle and a host of other fine lightweights, One change has been noted in the Arena under-card. Clyde Jones, promising Jersey blond who was taught the game by Joe S8hugrue, will meet Georgie Day in the semi- final, The rest of the card remains the same, with Hughie Devlin of New London and Oscar Goldman of New York, in a special eight rouni- er; Frankie Bush of Manchester and Amedeo Grillo of Ttaly, in a six; and Frankie Marino of New Haven, and Tommy Duggan of New London in the six round opening bout. CELTIC JUNIORS LOSE T0 PHANTOM RESERVES Combination of Block, Buchas and Ginsburg Carries Team to Victory The basketball combination ef Block, Buchas and Ginsburg was too much for the Celtic Juniors and as a result they were turnd back by the Phantom Reserves last evening at the Sacred Heart gymnasium, 37 to 24. This was the eighth game won by the Reserves -out of 12 |games played and jt was not until the final stanza that the Phantoms were able to do anything. The Phantoms were out in front at the end of the first period 7 to 6. In this session Ginsburg scored twice and Block once from the fleld, while Crowley's two baskets and a two-pointer by O'Dell made the Cel- tic scores. Both teams fared a little better in the second period and when the half was over the Phan- |tom Reserves were on top 18 to 13. It was in the final session that the Reserves were able to hit their stride and once they did, baskets were flying in from all angles. The Celtics tried desperately in the clos- in_ minutes to bring their score up but in vain for the lead of the Re- serves was too great. The fcature of the game was the |Ginsburg for the Phantoms.

Basketball fans of this city will in action tomorrow night a quine tet representing the Young Men's Russian Association of Passaie, N. J. Which is geputed to be -ne of the best court combihations in this sec- tion of the country. This reputa- tion is borne out by the fact that the team has already this season, tumbled the Paterson, Visitation and Hakoah teams, three of the out- standing quintets in the American basketball league. The team is composed of stars of colleges of a few years back and the quintet has been playing together for a number of years. The com- bination is a fast travelling one and is noted for the speed of its pass- work. Yollowing its victory over the Meriden Endees last Saturday night, the New Britain quintet has regain- ed entirely its confidence and despite the imposing record of the visiting aggregation tomorrow mnight, the squad confidently expects to come through with a victory. se: The visitors will iine up with Ha- | sior and Walfe in the forward po- sitions, Davis at center and Lamel- | la and Cough at the guaurds. New Britain will has its regular lineup in the' game with Sloman and ewski at the forward positions, Jiggs” Donoghue in center and Leary, Shechan and Arburr at the guards.
