RICHARDS LEADS FIELD
Tennis Star, Now Professional. stands First Among Amateur Players in New York.

New York. Dec. tPl --- Vincent Richards, now a member of Charles C. Pyin's professional troupe, stands first among local anna eur tennis players for the 1926 season in the ranking Of the Metropolitan Lawn Tennis association.
 Richards joined the professional ranks after complctiop .of the anna tour season of 1926 in which he defeated William T. Tilden. former national champion, in three out of four matches. 1nasmuch as several members of the Metropolitan rank ing committee are members Of the United States Lawn Tennis associa- ton committee on ranking and eligibility, 1t is generally believed that Richards will be accorded the same recognition when the national rankings are announced.
 Mrs Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, winner of the women's national championship last season, heads tho women's list with Eleanor Goss second and Miss Martha Bayard third. Dr. George King is rated second 10 Richards in the mons ranking with Jerry Lang. former Columbia university captain, third. and Francis T.

FOOTBALL SEASON
 COMES 10 FINISH
Snow Makes Possibility of Game
 With Hartford Very Remote

The probability of a second game. hetWeen the Hartford Blues and AL New Britain football teams this ,'tar is very remote after the snow storm of yesterday and although no defnite announcement has been forthcoming from the managers of either team only q formal confer cnce will he needed to call off the Tame. if is thought. The Hartford Blues were scheduled to finish the National League schedule against the Providence Steam Rollers in the Rhode Island capital yesterday aft ernoon, but after making the trip there. the Hartford team was forced to come home because the miniature blizzard prevented any chance of playing the game.
 The first game was played a wecl: ago Sunday at the Velodrome in Hartford and even then, the weather was too cold for spectators to sit in the stands and watch The second game had been scheduled for next Sunday but the early snow of the year will prevent the contest being staged Besides this, the weather is toN cold for either players or spec tators and the sec son might as well be viewed as finished.
 New Britain will be in the foot ball field again next year, accord ing to statement by Promoter Peter Perakos. He stated that all though the past season was not financial success the reason can be laid to the weather more than 10 anything else and he is of tho firm belief that another season with a would see a good financial return to professional football promoters.
 Dr. David Waskowitz has made the statement that he will retire from the football promotion field after the present season. He was re- luctant 0 go into the business again this season but finally gave into the persuasions Of many Of the football fans of the city,
 T. may he also that New Britain will have dollar footha'l' next year. Attendance at th" games during the past season seemed to indicate that the majority Of the fans protest against football that costs more than a single dollar, Estimates on the cost of bringing teams h7re and the placing of a team on the field will be drawn up and, if possible, th" price of admission will he kept down to the level of "onn buck" 1t is said,
 Definite plans for the season. Of course, cannot be laid out until next year. but the assurance that the city will be represented again In the gridiron competition in the state, will come as welcome news 10 many fans who have been following the fortunes of the local eleven again this year.
