Standings w. 28 New Britain . 29 Waterbury 28 Providence 21 Fall River 21 2 Game Tonight Albany at New Britain, @ Albany, at the present time the leading quintet in the American Roller Hockey league, will be here tonight in its farewell appearance cn the regular schedule of the Ameri- can Roller Hockey league, The team at present is leading New Brit- ain by a game and tonight's battle will be a humdinger. “Red” Willlams, brother to “Kid" Williams and star of the Waterbury team, has been added to New Brit- ain for games last night and tonight and he will appear as a running mate of the other member of his family at the Stanley Arena to- night. Due to an objection offered by 1"all River, the standing has been revised giving New Britain one less victory and one more loss. A game played last week in Fall River was erroneously credited to New Britain. According to the present standing, a victory for New Britain tonight, will send the local team back into first place. Albany will have its usual strong lineup with the Picrce brothers in the rushes, Lunderville at center, Morrison at balfback and Barnikow in the goal. New Britain will have “Kid"” Williams at first rush, “Red"” Williams at second rush, Thompson at center, Gazzinga at halfback and Welch in the goal. The game wiil start about 9 o'clock. Swamp Providence Strengthened by the addition of “Red” Williams, Waterbury star, the New Britain team swamped Provi- dence under a 14 to 8 score in Prov- idence last night. Manager Jame: Sullivan of Providence will protest the game and ask that it be forfeit- ed to Providence because of the use of “Red” Williams who s still a member of the Waterbury club, The local team went on a wild scoring rampage right at the begin- ning of the game.
