Jewish Relics Saved
 In South America

Amsterdam, Dec. 24 P>-Remains of what is claimed to be the oldest Jewish settlement on tho American continent at to be preserved by q Dutch-American commission of which Prof. Richard Gottheil of Columbia University and Rabbi D. de Sola Pool of New York are mem- bers.
 The remains are situated at Sa- vanne on the banks of the Surinam river in Dutch Guiana. where Portu- guese Jews, fleeing from the Span ish Inquisition, made a settlement and built synagogue in 1885.
 Descendants of the original Por- tuguese Jews who found a safe home in Holland and it's colonies still form an exclusive community here, and have largely contributed to Dutch literature and art. Funds are now being collected by them to restore the historic settlement of their race in Hollands western colony in South America.

of the goal tenders was knocked down in front of his cage and re- covered in time to knock the ball
 out ot the way. only to have It smashed back at him. Seeing his rushes covered and observing that there were no opponents near his cage, he passed the ball to his half back who took it the length Of the ring and scored d goal. only to have the ball roll out and directly in front of the other halfback, who matched his opponents dash down the floor and while going at top speed with his ankle skates Hopping, scored on a shot from the side
 Another incident that made his tory in the amateur league was staged by Eddie McAloon and Swan son, who were on the rush line for the Independents They took the ball through the opposing team and McAloon scooped 1t into the cage, only to have 1t roll out After q scrimmage in mid-foor. McAloon and Swanson again took the ball to the cage and this time Swanson re- ceived a pass from McAloon and hooked it in. Out 1t rolled the second time, and as the speedy rushes skated after 1t, Jack" Fusari caught 1t on the rebound off the bank and caged it
 Difficult to Remain Perpendicular
 Some of the amateurs deserved their classification in more ways than one. It seemed to the fans that fully half the players had never been on roller skates until the league opened. and 1t was laugh producing sight to see the efforts they made to find their way around in pursuit of the ball. Every few minutes one of them would forget his limitations and dash after the speedboy of the opposing team. The latter would tease him along and then leave him by making a quick move towards the side. The ham. as the bleacherites dubbed the poor skaters, might stop in the far cor ner. where he would grab fran icaliy at the netting. or, as often happened. he would end his con- tribution to the play by pumping with full force against another player. Time after time. play went on with part Of the crowd watch Ing the chase after the ball, and the others screaming at two or three 'hams' trying 10 untangle them selves from "pig pile" at the other end of the rink.

Speaking $ of Sports


 Vincent Reina, matchmaker fo, the New Britain A. C., has com pleted almost all the arrangements for the staging of the second profes. sional fight card in this city on Jan nary $. He has matched Nando Tassi. Italian light heavyweight sen sation. and Frank Cavanaugh of Bridgeport in the feature bout of the night.
 Buster Nadeau of HoIyoke and Joe Triano of New Haven, both of whom appeared against each other on the first card staged here, will be principals in a siX-Tound bout in the coming show. These two battled to furious four-round draw in their last meeting here and it is thought that over the six-round route, one or the other will be able to score a de- risive victory.
 Bat Battalino will not be on the card. On advice of his physician. the Hartford battler and former na-
 
 pion, will not enter the ring until some time in February. His injured hand has been giving him consid- "rable trouble.
