 All-New Britain showed q wealth of power in the game yesterday against the Holyoke Professionals that is bound to have results in the games which are to come. The locals will meet a real strong team next Sunday in the Springfield Profess sional team and with this agsrega- ton will appear number Of stars who played against New Britain ln several games last year.
 This season should be a profitable one for the management of the All New Britain team. The first sunday with several other attractions taking place to compete with the football game, saw 700 paid admissions. fes- terday, despite the fact that the New York Giants were appearing Tn Hartford, the Falcons and Renslng- ton were clashing at St. Mary's hela and several other affairs were going on in the city, the admissions at the gate totaled 731.
 These figures also are based on the fact that the first two teams New Britain has had this year have not 3een as good as the average.
 There were quite a few Of the New Britain fans who went to Hart ford yesterday to see Mulllgan 5 Blues against the New York Giants, and according to the statements they are making about the city today, 1t will be the last time they will go to Hartford except when New Britain plays there.
 Talking to some of them today. one fact is gleaned from thelr de- scr1ption of the game yesterday In which the Blues lost 21 to 0. That is that were it not for Red" O'Nell' Zip" Zehrer, "Vic" Radzewich and last, but by no means least, Ed die Barnikow. Mulligan's team would be the poorest excuse for a football team seen around these parts in many moons.
 The way the New Britain team played yesterday and the way the Blues showed up. New Britain would have beaten them hands down, these fans state.
 Mulligan has one feature at ms games that he would do well to get rid of, and that is the handsome "Cowboy Dutch" Webber from the wild and woody West" This worthy is the poorest excuse for a football player the local men have ever saeh' But that isn't all.
 The Hartford papers have woven a wreath of romance about Wcpper that has led those who haven't yer seen him to believe that he gave a demonstration of busting bronchos before every game. He appears with cowhide boots and spurs and wide sombrero and even after he gets ln- to his football togs, he put his COW boy" hat on his head and struts about the field to let all the cash customers gaze on his unequalled beauty.
 The impressions of the local men who saw him yesterday, are toe good to pass by. T always thought g. cowboy was bow legged because he rode a horse so much" said one But this guy Webber is more knockedkneed that am." This com parison cannot be appreciated until the speakers sRanks are looked over, but he has callouses on the in sides of his knees because the! knock so much together.
 Webber appeared yesterday re- splendent in a brand new five gallon" lid and the trade marl Sears Roebuck" stood out all ovel it. He wears mustachio tha curls outwards on both sides and at least, it is supposed to give hin a, fierce look. But the Giants cer tainly twitched this hairy decora ton a-plenty yesterday.
 Eddie Barnikow smashed thu line few times yesterday and ol each occasion, his plunges wer' good for at least six or eight yards but they used him only once in while.
 Shrimp Foley looks poor witt Hartford and although he ha been given the first string place a quarterback, he'll never approacl Radzewich.
 Red" O'Neil certainly looked good to New Britain fans in yes terdays game. He is stationed a center and gave a good account 0 himself.
 The only forward pass that tn Hartford Blues completed was on from Zip" Zehrer to Radzewich.
 Word coming out of Hartfor last night was to the effect that
 number of the Blues will be flor mer members" of the team afte this week.
 One of the "whitest" remarks " have heard in some time was mad by Silent John" Davis yesterda in one of the intervals when Ii was being relieved by Happy Griswold. He had, in the first quar ter, on the five yard line, tumble q pass on play that seemed des tined to result in a touchdown.
 What was the matter with tha pass, John, when you fumbled Coach Dave Hayes asked. "Ther wasn't anything the matter wit the pass. Coach" Davis answeret
 "it was perfect, nice and low, an chould have caurht if I sim pl
