New Britain faces the opportunity of annexing the championship of the American Roller Hockey league to- night when the Hardware City crew battles Albany in the eighth game of the playoff series. New Britain, by taking three straight from the New York team, wiped out a two- game lead garnered by Albany in the first few games of thc series, and went into the lead in contests won by the score of 4 to 3. Through its brilliant play, the New Britain team has become the favorite in the betting for the series. The team faces a difficult task to- night in beating Albany on its home floor. The Albany rink is extraor- dinarily large and this gives the New Yorkers an opportunity to do more floor work than is usual on & smaller sized playing surface, The same two lineups will face each other in the battle tonight. This i8 expected to be one of the flercest encounters of the playoff and according to the dope from the New York state capital, a record crowd will be on hand to watch the teams in battle, Roller polo fans in Albany have gone wild over’ the | game and each battle between the two finds an excellent crowd in at- tendance.
