THREE WINS OVER THREE OF
 HARTFORD'S BEST IS RECORD
All New Britain Team Last Night Defeats Kaceys 3635
 in Thrilling Game in Which Resteli and Sheehan Are
 the Shining Lights-Brooklyn A. C. Here Saturday.

As Edmund Dantcs remarks in "Monte Cristo": One, two, threc," so may the mana cement of the All New Britain basketball team comment af- ter it's third of q series of three games with three Hartford teams which resulted in three wins for the locals. Last night the New Britain boys trounced the Hartford Kaceys in the Capital city to the tune of S6 to s5 in a thrilling game with a whirl- wind finish.
 This feat of the New Britain team undoubtedly is the first of it's kind ever performed by a local outfit against three different Hartford out fits--and three victories. Not so bad for the boys who. a week ago, were believed 10 be slipping rapidly down the ladder of basketballdom. Last week they defeated the West Sides in an overtime game. Saturday night they trounced the DiXics handily and last night the Kaceys were humbled.
 Last nights game was a thriller for the fans and a most strenuous one for the players. Each team went at top speed throughout the whole game and until the last few minutes there was no let-up. Then, with but a short time to play and leading, the New Britains resorted to q stalling game and passed the ball around in the back court, content to keep it away from their opponents. In this they were successful and when the whistle blew it found the Kaceys getting dizzy trying to catch the elusive sphere and start a rally,
 Shcchan Goes Well
 During the first half New Britain clearly outplayed the Kaceys and the tally stood 24 to II. In the second period, however, the Kaceys entered the fray with new spirit and out scored their rivals by an even dozen. Tyndall had his eye peeled for double deckers and got six and a free one. Johnny sheehan, the local boy who responds to the nickname Of snow shoe" dropped in five from long range and likewise hooked in lon CT. "Fat" Hafner was better on the defense than he was on the offense and he held tho snappy little LalIar 10 one double decker.
 Restclli stars For \. B.
 On the offensive, 1t was Restelli of New Britain who loomcd as the brightest star Although playing a guard position, Hope" succeeded in swishing the net for six field goals and two he tried from the Is foot mark tallicd. l.aHar's foul shoot ing likewise was good, he getting four this way. IL goes without say ing that Taylor performed in his usual credible manner and three and three vas his scoring mark. "Chief' Lar son was banished under tho four foul rule and Woiak took his place, con tributlng toward victory with D field goal as did pelletier.
 once again the local team finds fault with tho refereeing of Brennan. They do not claim discrimination, but feel that his work was equally bad for both teams. That the game got away from him. is the claim made. week ago. against the West Sides, it was claimed that his work was decid- edly off color. Last night even the Kaceys made vigorous protests against some of his rulings.
 Brooklyn \. C. saturday
 On Saturday night the locals will play the Brooklyn X. c. Of Waterbury. This is considered very good team that has defeated the Middietown fire and also the Hartford kaceys. Me Namara, formerly of the Waterbury kaceys, holds down their center posi- l ton. Stack, former wilby star also is in the lineup. Last nights score:
