Jack Pelletier showed the results Of his long experience last night during the game in the manner in z which he played Arburr. Jack was I in forward berth and Arburr was Y playing against him. Pelletier show $ ed Arburr something about hand ling the ball that Arburr can cer- tainly use If he is an obseryant boy. { Pelletier besides this, pulled the I spectacular shots Of the game when , he winged in four field baskets from well past the middle ot the floor Had he started sooner and scored I few more. the Corhin team would ! have been defeated and he would , have done 1t almost all alone. Jack Schroeder got away from hls bride long enough last night to play I In the game. and his presence was certainly felt. Jack is about as steady a guard as can be found in the In. dustrial league and his play last night was Of the brilliant kind.
 Gustafson of tho Stanley Rule U team is another guard who is fast developing into good man. His 1 work alongside Jimmy Murphy last night was of the championship va r!ety and this pair was much in eT- idence in the defeat of Lan1ers.
 Billy DarroN is out ot the gam" for the rest of the season because o' a sprained side and doctors orders, Billy has been playing 100 much basketball anyway in tho minds Of many. and it is probably a good thing that he will have to rest. Interest In the coming basketball 1 battles in the various cities Of tho state is at fever pitch. Ii happens , that the defeat of the Atlas by the ! Dixies Monday night has so upset the ! dope bucket that the entire title | question is in q muddlc which has no clearing until several more games arc to be played.
 Tonight in Meriden. the Bristol Endees, the team that is now iaN- ored 10 cross swords with the Atlas in quest of the state title, meets the Meriden Endees in the second game Of q series between the two teams. Last week in Bristol, the Bell City combination defeated the Silver City five and tonight if the Bristol team repeats Meriden will be eliminated from the running.
 The DiXies Of Hartford make an- other bid tonight for state honors when the Hartford team meets All MiddletoTn at Foot Guard hall in the Capital City, -MiddlctoWn scored victory over the Atlas in Middletown last week and If thc Dixies take the down-riyer boys into camp tonight, they will have chance 10 be in the running for state honors it is thought.
 By a queer turn of circumstances, the National Guards are still in the running and coming games will show whether they will remain in the swim or not. IL is true that the Atlas has defeated the local team three times. but New Britain has also taken a fall out Of the teams that have trimmed the New Haven crew.
 Al the present lime, the National Guards stand even with the N"rldcn Endees, Bristol EndncS. and NlI- Middletown while they have two vic tories over tho niXics Tie Bristol team plays here Wednesday March 8, -Mi,idlttown comes hack for the third game the following Satur- day and if the Guards win these t"o ! 1t will be hard telling what the on'- come of tho state title race will De. The Bristol Endecs hav" arran@"i n series with the Atlas a determine which team is tE" better. Th"n' oi course, there is great interest m what the Dixies will do from now OIL We understand that Manager lT"dc -plans 10 mako q campaign alAon- the leading teams of the state Ah" this will mean that Bristol ana Meridcn will havc to be met aS%i before things can be decided
