saturday Results Holyoke 6. Wallingford Q.

The New Britain Roller Hockey team will try to avenge itself on the Waterbury Shamrocks at the Stan ley arena tonight for a defeat suf- fered in the Brass City Saturday night when the two teams clash in an American League contest. New Britain went down with flying col OTIS in Waterbury over the week end by the score of 10 1. and the play CTS figure that they can turn the trick on tho Brass City outfit tonight.
 Through the victory over New Britain, Waterbury went into q tie for first place with Holyoke. while Meriden stands third in the list and New Britain and Wallingford fourth and fifth. New Britain can step into tho shoes of the leaders through a few consecutive victories, and to- nights game is expected to start the Hardware City outfit on the road 10 the top.
 Waterbury will bring what many consider the classiest outfit in the league here tonight Davies. the young flash. and Harkins. the vet eran who has lost none of his old time skill, will be at the rushes with Red" Donnelly at center. Barney" Doherty will play halfback and Jette will be in the goal.
 Against this outfit, New Britain will pit it's pair of flash rushers, Bib" Boucher and "Shiek" Alexan- der. Captain Muirhead will be sta toned at center. with Brown at half back and Blount in goal. Browns eye has improved over the week end and he will be in better shape to take up the great defensive work he has been showing since his return to this city.
 In Saturday nights game, Blount was in wonderful form, but the Wa terbury offensive was too strong with Brown on the injured list. Davies and Harkins sped about the floor and peppered the local goalie with shots of all descriptions and enough of them got by to give Waterbury the victory Muirhead scored the only goal for New Britain.
