 Industrial league games last night were ones that all enjoyed and one of the biggest crowds of the season :. was on hand.
 = ~ T# -
 And in each game tho so-called under dog" was victorious for tho Stanley Works were picked by s majority of the dopesters to fall be- fore the Landers boys while the Lockmakers were not thought capa- ble of trouncing the league leading P. &\ F. boys
 Henry Zehrer, former High school player put up a great game for the Stanley Works and 1t is not too much 10 say that his aggressiveness and youth swung the balance Of power to that outfit.
 Heretofore the untiring La liar has had to do all the fast running about himself. Last night Zehrer kept him company and this fast stepping duo kept their opponents worried and on the hop most of the time. Captain Pelletier has said all season if he could find man who could run like La liar the team could come through. It did.
 Incidentally, Zehrer's scoring was no mean factor. He got three nice field goals and made good on four of out seven free tries.
 There is another player on the Stanley Works team who, while not noticed especially, was in the. game every minute and did great deal toward winning. This is Johnny Schroeder at guard. Johnny broke up play after play and it was almost impossible for the opponents 10 get down into S. w. territory with any degree of consistency.
 Nyborg, playing his first game with the Lockmakers, played nice floor game and "Goody' Preisser, when he went in, squirmed under and around the Corbin defense like Wiggly eel.
 Johnny Sikora, formerly with the Stanley Works, is said to be plan ming to join the S. R. x L. squad when his eligibility at this factory becomes effective.
 Johnny used to play forward with the Stanley Works.
 Next week the Lockmakers play Fafnir and the Rule Shop tackles Russell & Erwin.
 This gives the Lockmakcrs a chance to go into a tie for first place in the league.
 Tonight the National Guard team play the West Sides in Meriden. Tomorrow night they take on the Lyrics in Hartford.
 The National Guard Reserves have made the lives of Boys club players miserable all season. The club has refused the Reserves a game, saying it was above their class. H'he Reserves set up a,yell of afraid" and a week ago they shout cd so loudly that the club manage mcnt snapped them up.
 This put another aspect on things and the Reserves decided they had gone too far. Within a week they notified the club that 1t had better consider the game cancelled.
 The club season is nearly at an end. Tomorrow night they visit Poquonock for a return game with l the St. Josoph's whom they defeated | here Monday night. This team has not been defeated on it's own floor in three years and a tough battle is in prospect. Next Monday night | may find the club opposed to the A. l.. A., while the wind-up is set 10 | came on the 23rd, when the Gascos will be the clubs opponents.
 Other teams are also drawing | their seasons to q close, but the in- dustrial league schedule runs tc April 21. That is the day when the | major leagues begin their baseball season, Tho South church quintet stacks up. against the Lewis high school l junior varsity from Southington to- night at the Boys club. On Satur- day afternoon they will play re- turn game at the Y. M. c. A. with the Spartans, over whom they al- ready hold one victory.
