 for the first time. His work was of stellar order.
 With the exception of the first fev minutes in the opening period, and th' fateful time in the third period whel the West Sides threatened to score the New Britain team held the uppe hand Of the game
 For flr7e yesterday the work O Fitzgerald, the head lnesman, wal deeply under the skin" of the New Britain management and rooters. Fitz gerald. is a former captain Of the Tigers of Hartford, and he will be re. membered for his conduct at Seymour Park few years ago.
 New Britain football fans were ou, in large numbers yesterday at Clarkir Field, and the showing that the locals made was generally accepted as being satisfactory.
 Those who witnessed the Trojans. Merrick A. A. game at Vibberts Field were pleased with the splendid exhibi- ton turned in.
 The Rovers of this city decisively trounced the Crimsolls of Plaiuville, 26 to in Plainville yesterday after noon. The battle was waIRly waged. One of the best plays of the afternoon occurred in the fourth period when McInerney of the Rovers intercepted forward pass and raced 50 yards for a touchdown. Polits, Levine and Spit co also made touehdowns Reed played a brilliant game 1t fullback for the Rovers.
 The New Britain High school team got another waloping at s. Nary's field Saturday afternoon. But going down to defeat, the home boys did not show any lack of spirit. It would be just as reasonable, to ask common laborer to turn his attention to watch making with no experience and do the job, as to expect the local boys to play football as it should Ae played. with the coaching they have received so far.
 The alleged coach of the New Brit ain High school team gavssa brilliant display of brains, after New Britain had scored a touchdown in Saturdays game. by walking up and down the sidelines, telling those who listened to him, that he knew the boys would score as soon as they lined up for the play that sent Reynolds over the line.
 Words cannot explain the terrible manner in which the High school lads tried to tackle the New Haveh back field men.
 For no good reason that anybody | can explain, Coach" Cassidy was call ed into c0hference following a angle over a decision in the fourth l period of Saturdays game, with the result that the decision was against the home boys. This gave the New Haven team a life, and on the next play, Crabb put his team in the lead with field goal
 Captain Murtha pulled off a sensa tional run on completed forward pass in Saturdays game, that was one of the features.
 The New Britain fans gave Manager Kiniry's boys big hand when they raced out on the field yesterday. The locals presented natty appearance in the new jersies.
 Fitzgerald gave an exhibition of
 
 temper in the third period yesterday. that did not add to his popularity. Some fan poked a remark at Fitz, and he ran and tried to jump over the fence and into the bleachers. AS far IS is known, there was no great exodus through the gate to get away rom him. Manager Begos of the Trojans team, 1as booked the Valley Park eleven Of for next Sunday afternoon 1t Vibberts Field { Gene Cummings, the former New Britain player, had to stand consider lble raging yesterday. Dummy" I ,eemed to share with Fitzgerald the I putt of the jibes from the local crowd. I Humphrey Muldowney did good { lays work in leading the cheering 8 or the New Britain crowd. r That the local crowd backs up it's t cam in other ways than enthusiasm 0 vas shown seevral times, when plenty [ ,f dough" was producel to support
