New Britain herald., 1926-02-01

The cry was raised that Hayes was
 giving them tho worst of 1t in call
 ing fouls, but the statement by the
 New York manager clarifies this
 situation. To many of the local
 spectators, Hayes seemed to be more
 strict with the home team than
 with the visitors.
 One bad feature about Saturday
 nights game at the armory was the
 Kissing from the sidelnes. Investi-
 gation showed that a crowd of boys
 who copgregated on the north side
 Of the armory did the most of 1t. In the crowd were several members
 of Q well known juvenile baseball team that won the championship of
 the city last summer. They were
 missing the visiting team and many visitors in the hall were of the opinion that New Britain fans are | crowd of poor sports. The bows, when called for it after the game, stated that it was because they did not think that they hisscd during the game.
 They know themselves that they
 'ouldnt like to be hissed or booed when they get onto the baseball ulamond. Their actions Saturday night were the worst form of poor hportsmanShip' that anybody could snow and to prevent it in the future, Manager Lanpher will, if it is rc- peated, mako it so the boys will find 1t difficult to get into the game.
 Hope" Rcstelli scored the incest tackle seen in New Britain this or last year whom he downcd Moskowitz on the floor during the game. Hope lost his head something ho docSn do very often and on play, lte dove for the centcr's legs and tackled him as neatly. Both players it' u fouls called on them. Had Restollt landed with the haymaker h" sent in the direction Of Mosko- Witz, We are afraid there would have been a terrific jam.
 Laliar, playing in Red" Reynolds place filled in nicely and played a good floor game. Too much cannot be said about the work Of "Mert' Taylor because it was work. Taylor is built so that he can stako praise without it affecting him.
 Billy DuIach's work stood OIL during the game He played a neat floor game and filled in 10 perfection at center when Rcstclli went out on personal fouls. No one could have worked any harder than kilduit dur ing the game. "rcdders'' was bound ing from one end of the floor to the other breaking up the wonderful rriSS cross pass of the visitors and his efforts stopped q large number oi shots that might have resulted in baskets.
 When all is said and done. how ever, the National Guards arc not the same team without Johnny in the game. "Suowshocs" did not feel exactly right Saturday night and did not start, He wasn't long on tho sidclincs, however, when he received the S Q S. and his work while in there had its results, The New York team was clever at hand ! ling The bal, but Sheehan can match the best play they know.
