| . Speaking of Sports e —— The “burlap anvil chorus,” the boys who charge George Washington With framing the crossing of the Delaware to get more cash custom- ers 4t the surrender of Cornwallis, are taking it on the button in plenty today. This is as a result of the voller hockey series that came to a close last night, All season long, the chorus_of “in the bag” has been waiting to make its annual predic- tions concerning the playoff, but now the world is upside down as as these gentlemen are concern- . The series was won by Albany in four straight games. | The repetition of the “in the bag" | charges came with such a monot- onous regularity that near the ¢nd of the season, no one was paying any attention to them. However, it took this year's scries to put a con- vincing argument in the hands of those men who think that roller hockey is on the level. The playoff series was announced as going to the best four out of sev- en games. Immediately the wise boys, both here and in Albany, fig- ured that seven games would be vlayed and the owners of the two| ieams would clean up on the play- oft. Albany won the first game in Al- bany. That was expected. Then the lawmakers took the second game in this city. That was an accident. ¥or | the third time Albany won in Al- bany, even when the wise ones had bets of two to one that New Britain was to win. This started a lot of talk. “inally, Albany won the cham- pionship Dby taking the fourth straight game at the Stanley Arena last night. There is only an echo of the “bag business” about the circuit today. We are disappointed that New Britain didn’t win the series. That is natural. So are many of the fans who attended the games regularly at the Stanley Aren during the sea- son. The most disconsolate of these are the Arute brothers, who made a noble attempt to bring New Britain #ts first championship. They have the consolation of knowing that the fans in this town appreciate their efforts. Tlowever, we have the consolation of knowing that the team that play- cd the better game, won the series. We believe that the four straight victorles of the Albany club will do niore for the game itself than any thing else. It is the best proof pos sible that there was nothing phony about this yvear's serles, no matter what may be thought about those that have gone before. Owner Jack Arute has started planning already for the next sea- son. He plans to get a strong club together at the opening of play and Keep it together for the scason. He is determined that he will profit by 1he mistakes made this year and there isn’t any doubt but that plenty of these were made. The roller hockey season herc was. a_success, despite the fact that the local team was defeated in the final series. The fans supported the game right to the last and it is al- niost a certainty that they will be awaiting the opening of the cam- paign next season with interest un- €immed by the results of the year just finished. QUTSTANDING ROOKIE T'rank Milliken of Walpole, Mass,, is Given First Place Among 22 Flingers in Camp. Pensacola, Fla, March § (P-— Trank Milllken of Walpole, Mass, former Bates college pitcher, has Leen nominated as the outstanding rcokie pitcher to date in the Red §ox camp. Thal's an honor, for in- cluding several regulars there are 22 flingers down here tossing them up under the watchful eye of Man- ager Heinie Wagner. An outstanding pitcher in th Twilight Leaguc around Boston !ast| year, Milliken is making a great bid to stick with the Red Sox. If be chould fail to do so this year he should certainly be fit for a vear in #ome Class A minor league team at the end of the training season. Harris Expecting to Have Faster Outfield Tampa, Fla., March 5 (®—Two days of full tcam practice gave Manager Bucky Harris a fecling to- day that he is going to sec his hopes for a speedier outfield realized in 1his year's edition of the Detroit igers. Harris bought Roy Johnson from the Pacific Coast league a year ago in his search for speed, and John- son 1{s filling the bill perfectly. Johnny Stone, Elias Funk and Perry Tlice are available for the other two positions in the outfield. Rice’s status is still indefinite and there is no indication that Harris has yet decided to take him off the auction lock. —DAILY— EXPRESS Retarn ticket good 30 days .
