 Standing

Inc New Bflldln ItOIer f1oCktN team will meet the Wallingforn team at the Stanley Arena on 1 Church street tonight in an Amer i ican league game. The Wallingford
 crew, thought holding last place in the league, has started a campaign which, if continued, will surely bring the team up in the standing. New Britain occupies second last place through three straight losses 1 but tonight's game is expected 10 bring the locals up in the standing. "Gid' Brown, who was recently released from the local quintet, has been resigned to play center. Man ager Frank McDonough, dissatisfied with the showing of the team since acquiring three former Waterbury players decided 70 change Boucher around to rush. His place is in the forward line and the best available man for the pivot position was Brown, who. i' is expected, will work in very nicely in the new continuation.
 The Wallineford team has two of the best rushes in the game as scoring threats. They are Wild 1 Bill' Dugean. leader ot rushers in the league, and Tony Welch, husky Lithuanian. Hardy plays center with l.. Williams at halfback and Conley at goal. This lineup is one of tor I1o recent victories scored by the team the quintet evidently has found it. self.
 Pierce, who played first rush with the local team, has been loaned to Meriden 10 take the place of hls brother. injured in game last week. Boucher will pair up with Alexander in tonight's game and this combination with the great de- fensve trio of Brown, Muirhead and Blount, is expected to give New Britain q punch equal to that Of any team in the league. Boucher will be at first rush and his speed should make all the difference in me WOTl1.
 New Britain has been on q losing streak for two weeks now but to- nights game should result different ly All the players on the team are anxious 10 get into the scoring col. umn and the morale of the team since the return of Brown is at q high pitch. Great things are expect cd when the new combination swings into action.
