i Speaking of Sportls Hudson will furnish the opposition the New Britain basketball team ere Saturday night according to a | definite announcement from Mana: ger Clarence Lanpher this morning. Instead of playing Bristol in this |city on Wednesday, March 6, the |New Britain team will play-in Bris- ol. The week nights - this city are too well taken up with sports 10 allow two games a week, in the |opinion of the manager. | Bill Reardon, manager of the Stanley hotel, has received a letter ifrom John (Chick) Murray, reputed ito be the best basketball referee in the country today and in it is con- tained a series of paragraphs in ipraise of Dougherty, Fordham uni- versity guard. Dougherty, whose first name is Frank, is captain of the KFordham eam and he will be signed with INew Britain at the conclusion of the 'ordham schedule tonight in New [York., Attorney Harry Ginsburg [will take in the Fordham-Manhattan lgame tonight and will thefh sign [efinite articles with Dougherty for jihis appearance in this city. i The Fordham star will play his rst game with New Britain Satur- ainst the Hudson team, former combination. ' In his letter, “Chic *> Murray, in fart states: 1 am very glad to Bicar that you are getting Jrank fDougherty of Fordham.” *“I have been a great admirer of his youngster since the first time saw him at Fordham.” “There is something about young Dougherty’s playing that 1 always hdmired. He, more than ayyone clse bn the team, is responsibie for their reat success during the past three ears. In the games that I have een him play, he always has been gentleman, working for his team's penefit, and in fact helped other in- Bividuals on the teams to recognition fvhich they would not have gained [Nithout his assistance.” | “During all this time, such fine raits have never interfered with his laying, and 1 feel confident that you re going to like him a lot in New Britain, To be truthful about it, you ould not have made a better se- tion among the college players nd I am sure that you will not re- hret it." That certainly is a great compli- ent coming from a man with the asketball reputation of Murray. Not eing interested in Dougherty in any ay outside of his general interest h basketball and basketball players, urray gives the l"ordham star un- inted praise. We believe that he 1l be a welcome addition to the few Britain team. That will give jew Britain two former court cap- ains at Fordham, Leary and Dough- rty and another former star there, akzew: The New Britain roller hockey | am stands in second place again bday following its defeat last night the hands of the Albany team in lbany.
