The game proved a very rough one from the start, as the New Britain team started in the rough play and kept it up throughout, and the visitors naturally had to keep their end up When the first half was over the score was to in favor of Wallingford the New Britains made a. goal from outside the lines, which of course should not have been allowed. There was a dispute over the decision Of the referee in allowing the goal. Befofe play was resumed one of the outsiders struck O'Brien of Company Ks team heavy blow in the side, which knocked him cut The New Britain manager called the team off the floor and the game ended The action of the crowd was disgraceful, as was the treatment of the visiting team.
