The Chrysler team in the anna teur roller hockey league was no match for the Dodge quintet in the game to the New Brit ain- Meriden league contest at the Stanley arena yesterday afternoon.
 The combination of Eddie Me- Aloon and Fusari at tho rush posi- tions with Dick Hyland in center and Keeley and Sautter at halfback and goal. was altogether too much for the tail enders. Fusari and Me- Aloon showed lightning speed in bringing the ball down the floor while Hyland was a buiwark in working the pivotal position. Keeley broke up plenty of ChrysIer passes while Sautter kept numerous shots from going in the nets. Selander and Harry kieffer worked nicely for the losing team.
 The Dodge team hopped into the lead in the first period when Flu sari and McAloon scored three soals. Chrysler got one in this frame. Dodge ran wild in the sec. ond frame, scoring five goals to in- crease the total to eight to one.
