Two Stars Missing

The Hockey Club, however, missed
the aid Of those two brilliant
young players, Tom and Jack How
ard. who were out Of the line
up owing to parental objection, 1t
was said. After the first few minutes
the Crescent team got working IN COM
bination, and the goals began TO come
thick and fast. Mickey Roach shot
down the ice, dribblinp the puck right
through the Hockey Club defence, and
swept it into the cage after about SIX
minutes of play. Half minute later
Des Jardins, during a hot scrimmagee
in front Of the cage, added second
goal to the Crescent score.
For the rest of the period the Hockey
Club put up a desperate battle in de-
fence of its goal, and no more seorI
ing was done. The second half had
hardly begun, however. than the ire
pressible Roach again dashed down the
ice, unaided, and tailed once more Tor
the Crescents.
The Hockey Club team devoted most
of its attention to Tom Mccarthy, the
sensational Crescent rover, and he was
never able to get away for an attack
on goal.
Britton Stars for Losers
The hopes of the Hockey Club root
ers were temporarily raised when red
headed Britton crashed his way. down
the side and then shot the puck into
the net with wonderful aim. Twenty
seconds later Mccarthy took beauti,
full pass from DesbJardins and hfted
the disk into the net. The final score
came three minutes later. when Con
way, from the middle Of fierce scrim-
mage. Gagged the rubber.
Just before this goal was scored Nc
Carthy and Young became invo lived IN
an acrimonious argument. and went
to the ice together in clinch. ms
was the signal for every man on the
ice TO take an interest in the proceed
ings. and for a moment 1t looked Ike
a free for-all.
The referee sent the principals to the
bench for three minutes to cool on
and the danger of a general engage
ment passed. 1t was during this excite
ment that Conway shot the last goal.
On Tuesday night the Irish-American

TO INSANE HOSPITAL.
Former Norwich Waiter Found Not
Guilty of Forgery Because of In
sanitv

John Robinson, formerly a Norwich
waiter, but of late employed in New
London in the same capacity, was on
friday adjudged insane by jury in
the criminal superior court and was
sentenced to one year in the Norwich
state hospital for the insane. The
charge against Robinson was forgery.
He secured tools in New London on
an order to which he had forged the
name of ]. n. Lapointe company. The
order was presented at the barrow {.
ComStock company'S store. Robinson S
trial was brief, as the only witnesses
for the state were Samuel Holloway of
New London, employed as clerk by the
Darrow & Comstock company; J. n.
Lapointe and Policeman Nelson S.
Smith. DIR. Thomas F. Erdman, act
ing superintendent of the Norwich
state hospital for the insane, told of
cused- Robinson testified in his own
behalf in a rambling way. He was
found not guilty on account of insan-
ity and was sent to the Norwich state
hospital for treatment.
The case against Michael Bowman,
charged with assault, was nolled.
Claude Long and Howard Jones,
sailors, charged. with the theft of a
Barrows in New London, pleaded
guilty and were sent to the state re-
formatory. Court adjourned at 1890
O'clock to come in again on Tuesday.
William White, New London, who
shot David Sparrow in Bradley street
early in December, pleaded guilty an
Thursday to the charge of assault
with intent to murder and was SEN
fenced to serve not more than five nor
less than one year in state prison,
The shooting was the result of a
quarrel over a woman and started in
a Bradley street saloon. White and
Sparrow had both figured in
wrang1e which brought them up in
police court about two weeks before,
but the case was nolled.
On the Saturday afternoon of the
shooting White and Sparrow met in
the saloon in Bradley street and the
negress was in Sparrow's company
White came into the saloon and words

White whipped out a revolver and
chased Sparrow into the street where
he fired four shots at Sparrow two
of which took effect in the latter's
body. Fortunately neither wound
proved fatal.
Sparrow's life was probably saved
by Policeman Charles Hammond Po-
liceman Hammond was on the corner
of State and Main street when he
heard the revolver shots from the di-
rection of the tenderloin district. He
rushed up Main street, down John and

ANOTHER SUE. EXPECTED
AT THE STATE PIER
Over Score of Stevedores Have Ar
rived From Baltimore.

During the last few days reports
have been circulating that another
German merchantmen submarine is
due to arrive in New London from
lowing out their customary program,
at least that in regards to German
submarines, the officials of the East
ern Forwarding Co., state that the re-
port is news to them or that they have
nothing to say for publication.
The German stoclSade on the state
pier, where the Deutschland was
screened from public view. is begin
ming to show some of it's activity that
was shown when the little green boat
was moored there. Already about rs
negro stevedores, who were among the
number of 80 that iunloaded and load
ed the merchantmen in November,
1915, have returned to New London
from their homes in Baltimore.
Unusual secrecy has been centered
about the return of the small army of
stevedores, but it is understood that
the men arrived about 40 o'clock on
Tuesday morning in charge of a man
named Frederick Lynch of Baltimore,
who acts as foreman for the COM
pany. Each man carried a suitcase
and the men and baggage were quick
ly taken to the state pier
When the stevedores departed for
the southern city after the departure
of the Deutschland for the Fatherland
several of them informed friends that
they were ordered to report at the
state pier on January 5. which date
was Friday.
Since it is a foregone conclusion
that the European war will continue
at least for another. six months and
probably more and discounting acct
dents it is reasonable to expect an
other visit from the Deutschland or
another sub sea freighter, providing
there is a second one.
