 All roads will lead to the Stanley Arena tonight when the Meriden Maroons. considered the classiest roller hockey team in the American league. will do battle against Vle New Britain quintet. Meriden al ways draws out a good assemhlage of rootcrs and tonight will be no ex- ception.
 Because of the fast clip at which New Britain has been travelling of late, many fans here look for the locals to pin a defeat on Meriden tonight. IIolyoke suffered another dcfeat at the hands of the Water bury team last night and this gives New Britain an opportunity 10 wind up the season on top of the Paper City quintet.
 Waterbury through it's win of last night, has cinched the pennant for the first half. As the league really finishes Saturday night only one third of the actual playing sched- uIe. the hardest grind of the entire year faces the players as they start off on the second lap of the season.
 New Britain Is rounding into form now and the team should be pretty well set for hard campaign.
 The schedule committee consisting Of Bert keane. president, and Man agers Ives Of Mnrden and McDon- cugh of New Britain, will meet this afternoon at f o'clock at the Hotel Stanley 10 arrange the playing dates for the second half of the league New Britain will start the second campaign in this city next Monday night.

 Archie Mulrhsad once purchased a classy outfit consisting of q paccr and a buggy for $40. He sportcd the gig for a short time and then sold it. blanket and all, for sl5. He then bought an automobile and without ever taking a license 10 drive. piloted the ship of state home. He failed to hit anything on the trip.
 The New Britain Professional Basketball team which played in this city last night against the Tabs ohtntet is;the representative team of the Ajax Athletic club of New York city.
 4 small crowd which wonded it's way np to the |. NJ. T. A, x E. hall last night to SC the Tabs in action did not come near the number necessary to pay expenses.
 Now that the Tabs have broken up. the realization has been brought home that several of New Britain's old basketball favorites will pass from the court game for this year.
 Carl Rostella. old K. of C.. player and member of the National Guard squad when it won the state pro fessional championship last year, has already etered upon retire
 Jimmy Reynolds will probably also be numbered among those who will hang up the shoes this year, and as far as New Britain is concerned, Taylor has probably played his last game for New Britain.
 Johnny Sheehan always a popular favorite, will continue to give his best for the Hardware City in the uniform of the All-Ncw Britain quintet.
 During the season Manager Jim t.uby more than earned his title of Square Shooter" and every visiting team has nothing but praise for him. DIRECTORS WOULD
