Pills Hit Stride.
The inclusion of Howard Britain in
the line. up of the Philadelphia F. G.
virtually made n new team out Of the
local American Leaguers. Those who
braved the elements to see the Phils
down Fall River, 8 to 2. marveled at the
wonderful improvement in the play Of
the Walderite with the Chelsea star
on the side lines.
At no time were the New Englanders
dangerous. due to the remarkable man.
ner in which Britain led his team and
fed his front liners. He also scored two
of his teams goals and his passing was
responsible for several or the others.
The records Of the American League
are a tribute to the prowess Of Britain.
Although he had been on the side lines
since December 10. he never relinquished
his place at the head Of the scorers, and
he boosted his total with pair more on
Saturday, and there IS little chance OF
any one giving him any kind Of a run
for scoring honors.
