It will be long. long time before handball fans will see another match like the one staged by the Mag brothers, Sammy and Eddie at the '. M. C. A. courts last night.

Jack Mercer is here in New Brit ain. He was a member of the fam ous old time combination that made polo the game that it was in this city years ago. Fans here have been talking about Jack returning to the rollers but it IS doubtful if he cares to get back into the grind again.

One feels that revival Of roller means whereby another crop of youngsters will take to the game. As it is now, promoters and team managers almost always have to look to the west for players. This is q strange situation when one considers that right in this section of the country, roller polo reached it's highest peak.
 Should the game be played here again, it would be but q short time until all the kids were On rollers again playing with the hockey stick as they did years ago.

Eddie started out this year as a player but he wasn't retained very long for some reason that is yet un- explained. Had the average player in the league which closed last week been nearly as good as Mac was. then it would have been l very good league indeed.
New Britain herald., 1927-04-19

Ii all the roller polo fans In this city were as keen about the game wielder of the stick in the days just around the corner, New Britain would be all burned up all the time over the game. Eddie plays a few games all over again every day of his life and some of them were ac- tually played not so long ago.

GIRLS WHO

~ writes Judge Jean Norris, the
only woman Judge in the State
of New York. in the new Dutton
book. Girls Who Did"
Girls can make as good lawyers
as men. Judge Norris claims.
Together with Is other women,
who have made their marks in
the world, Judge Norris gives her
advice in this volume of inter
views with Girls Who Did" as
follows:
1T depends upon the person.
The girl who Is interested in law
must have clear mind, and abil-
ity to grasp facts and to see the
significance OF facts, an ability TO
grasp the law, itself, II she would
be q lawyer. And she must set
herself to secure her training in
a recognized law school. In law
school, some young women who
have thought they wished to be

class work shows them that they
are unsuited for 1t. Other young
women discover through their
