The team members are all aces in | their various positions. Wolfe, lert forward, is recognized as the star of the team, He is the big point getter and he will have to be watched here tonight if the locals are to win. He has an excellent running mate in Hasfor, a powerful floor work- er and a keen shot for the basket. Davis the cenfer is sought by many teams but he is a tower of strength | to the Russians. Lamella and Clough. the two guards. are hard men to get ! by and they are also dangerous scor- ers if they advance up the floor. Against this crew, New Britain will send in its great quintet of Zak- zewski and Sloman at the forwards. ggs” Donoghue at center and either Bheehan, Leary or Arburr at the guard posts. This quintet suc- ceeded in coming out of a lengthy slump to beat the Meriden Endees last Saturday night and it is out again this week to make it two in a row.

Christner New York, Feb. 28 (#-—Meyer (K. 0.) Christner, the Akron rubber puddler. has proved that the reputed dynamite in his right hand is no myth, but in the proving he found one jaw that refused to vield under blasting from that potent weapon. Making his second appearance in Madison Square Garden since he knocked out Knute IHansen, the melancholy Dane, Christner lost the decision to Paulino Uzendun, rough woodchopper from Spain, in an ex- clting ten round match last night. The decision was eminently fair for Paulino, after a had start, came lack to give the Akron slugger & thorough trouncing in all but the jast of the final eight rounds, In the final session, Christner, arm-weary as he was, staggered the sturdy Basque with one terrific right to the jaw and then vainly sought an opening for a finishing punch. Paulino, undoubtedly badly hurt, rallied his failing senses long enough to step inside the next right hand jolt Christner threw his way and then bored in too close for the Akron fighter to use his only effect- ive weapon. The final bell found a groggy but courageous Paulino whaling away with both hands to Christner's hody. Christner had Paulino in some distress almost before the battle was a minute old, His right cracked like a pistol shot on the Basque's chin a1l Paulins retreated. badly stun- ed. Again and again the Ohioan ac- curately found his target with that right, but Paulino finally got in close cnough to hang on and recuperate, Again in the second round Christ- ner punched the Spaniard about the ring while Paulino, vainly trying to get his bearings, made not a single gesture of offense, unless a few wild feft hooks that did no damage are considered. The start of the third round found Christner leading by a wide margin hut it was not long until there was a sharp turn-about. A heavy left hook thudded home on Christner's rtomach and the Ohioan wineed per- ceptibl Having made a dent in his rival's armor at last. Paulino confined L attention exclusively thercafter to Christner's body. That was good strategy, as it proved, for the steady tattoo Paulino pounded on the Akron hattler's torso event- tally slowed him up and took much of the sting out of his punches. From then on it was all Paulino. barring that tenth round rally by Christner, Christner did not have time to use his right hand. He was too busy trying to formulate a de- fense for Paulino's body attack. He never did find a defense and thercin lies the story of his defeat. Battered and roughed around for seven rounds, Christner did - rally iong enough to come within an sce of flooring and perhaps stopping Paulino in that last round, but the Basque had piled up too big a lead to lose except by knockout. And for all the power in his right hand, Christner could not sweep the rugs ged Spaniard from his feet, The match attracted a capacity crowd of 20,000, ‘The weights: Paulino 19 ner, 195, | Christ- : MUELLER HAS WIN + OVER RAY MILLER Kaplan Faces Rugged Opponent in New Haven Tuesday Night Out of Buffalo, N.

Tomorrow afternoon at the Stan- ley Arena, the Fall River roller hockey team will make its farewell appearance of the season in this city playing the New Britain team in one of the remaining games on the schedule of the American Roller Hockey league. The Fall River club is featured with Art 8t. Aubin on the rush line and “Bib” Boucher center. Alse on the squad is Ferdie Harkins who, in the years gone by, was known as a speed king on skates. Today he re- tains a great deal of his apeed and g cunning as a player. “Gid" Brown, last year with the New Britain quin- tet, is the halfback, while Jimmy (Corky) Purcell is the goal tender. This is an imposing lineup for any team to face and with New Britain still weakened by the absence of Barney Doherty from the lineup, the Fall River club is very confident of winning the game. Joe Peregrin who surprised the lo- cal fans through his excellent play last Thursday night against the Al- bany team, will most probably team up with “Kid"” Williams on the rush line. Harry Thompson, the wing: footed speed demon of the local team will roam at center while Pets| Gazzinga, understudy of the great| Doherty, will be at halfback. Pete| Welch, whose work before the cage| stamps him as one of the best goal- ies in the league, will be before the cage.
