Hyland's Hurricanes got revenge on Dills Pickles last night in the preliminary roller hockey game at the Stanley Arena by trimming them by the score of to 3. The Pickles featuring 'Tanky" selander and Boomer Dill, the major domo of the squad. were unable to penetrate the tight defense thrown up by their opponents.
 Harry Kieffer worked in his usual style with keeley proving to be the main scoring ace of the winning combination. La Pointe played a nice game on the floor while Eddie Hayes was exceptionally good in the goal Newell did noble work for the losing team. The summary:

 Ancient rivals from Hartford and New Britain High schools will put on . supper basketball show this afternoon in the Hopkins street gym. nasium Of Hartford Public High school.
 A large delegation of New Britain High school pupils and as many oi the alumni as possible will follow tho team into its rivals territory Since tho Capital City team will be represented by the greatest part ol its student enrolment, tho battle oi cheers will be an interesting side light to the game.
 Every member of the Red and Gold team will give everything he has to win because they have the same spirit as the rooters. They would hate to see the Hartford fans gloating over two successive victories over them. Last fall the football defeat was | hard pill to swallow and If the basketball team can run up 75 to 10 score, it will do 50.
 Last year Hartford gave New Brit. ain its first basketball defeat when the Red and Gold team was defend ing state honors which 1t had wor the year before. This game came just after Al Havlick, regular for ward. was declared ineligible. Later New Britain lost its regular center and its other forward, Captain Mary an aZleski. and the team lost other games to put 1t out of the running for the state title. Hartford also went out of the running early wher 1t lost Hayes, a center, and Malin' owski, forward. The ruling which hurt both teams was ono against al. lowing players to participate witt organized outside teams.
 Despite the fact that Hartford hal Hayes, Cabitor and Malinowski from last years team it is going bad. Il has been the victim of tough luck this season so far. Losses were chalked up in games against St Thomas' seminary. New Haven Hill house high. South Manchester high and Weaver high. Three out of the four defeats were by one point and the fourth against New Haven wal by six points. Victories were scored over tho alumni and Crosby higf school.

Games Tonight Waterbury at Hartford. WalIingford at Meriden,

Wallingford at Meriden.
 Completely outclassed at every turn of the wheel. the New Britain roller hockey club was swamped by the Meriden Maroons in an Amert- can league game last night by the score of to l. The difference in the play of the two combinations was % marked that there was nc comparison. New Britain put up the poorest exhibition seen on the local rink this year and az Meriden kept piling up the goals going into the third period. 1t became only . ques- tion of just how large the Silver City's margin of victory would be. A crowded house sat in on the game but the bleachers were more than half empty before half of the third period had been played and disgust was expressed on all sides.
 It appeared last night that New Britain has lost about s5 per cent of the form the team showed when it ran up string of four straight victories to lead the league. Last night the locals went into second place with Meriden in the drivers seat.
 Boucher and Alexander worked hard and bombarded Jimmy Purcell Meriden goal tender. with all sorts of shots resulting in his having 91 stops, but Archie Muirhead at cen ter was in particularly poor form and the east with which tho Meri- den star rushers, Williams and Pierce. got by him gave them . big advantage over the New Britain scoring combination. Blount, al goal, was at a big disadvantage with the two sharpshooters of the Silver City quintet firing away at him and' left alone. he was hard put to 1t to keep more goals out than were real ly made by the Meriden team.
 New Britain's team work. except for the passing of Boucher and Alexander. was missing. Brown and Muirhead were hurried on ever, shot and Meriden almost always re- covered the ball after losing 1t in thu vicinity Of New Britain's cage. Time after time one or the other of tht rushers would get set for a pass and would be boxed of. The pass would come directly in front of the cage The other rusher would be blocked off and no one was there to get it.
 That was the story all night. The first period saw both teams battling hard for score. Pierce caged two goals for Meriden giving the Silver City team an edge. Williams got two and Morrison on ein the second frame making it five to nothing Boucher got New Britain's only score at the opening of the third period but Williams caged three for Meri' den before the game ended.
 , New Britain's great defense wa. entirely missing az the Merider players sped down the floor at will Tho locals had nothing to cheer about though it must be said thai Boucher and Alexander were up tt standard in their play. Purcell. great work at goal prevented then from making New Rritain's thrust. count. Unanimous opinion is giver that the local team can play mucf better hockey than was exhibited last night, especially in the position: that showed the greatest weakness during the game.
 New Britain plays in Waterbury Saturday night and Meriden opens up Sunday hockey here Sunday aft ernoon. The summary:

RiIlgers Win Again

The South church Ringers repeat ed their earlier victory over the State Trade school Seconds but had to 90 overtime before they downed their opponents by lS-17. Osborne. Vessels. and Parker gave the win- ners an 1l-6 lead in the first half. but during the thipd period Hubbell and Knowles tied the score at 12-1z. Parker and B. Wosilua sent the church ahead in the final stanza, but young Benson went into the game and sank two long shots for another tie. Then. with two seconds left, he was fouled and missed the shot which would have meant the game. Osborne made a field goal in the overtime period and Benson 8 foul.
 Vessels featured the game with what was perhaps the worlds craziest exhibition Of shooting and leaping. In the second half he made scores of one-handed shots from all angles and distances, caging exactly none. Osborne and Knowles, led the scoring for the respective teams. The summary:

HORSE RACING CURSE,
DECLARES GRAND JURY
Maryland Law Held Discrimina-
tory in Forbidding Bets Except
to Those Who Buy Tickets.

Special Dispatch 10 The star.
BALTIMORE. January 7.-Horse
racing in Maryland was assailed as "a
curse To this State" by the retiring
grand jury in its report TO the SUI.
preme bench yesterday.
IF II is wrong TO play the races
downtown surely IL cannot be made
right by buying a license at the
track" the report said. The law does
not allow betting on the races except
at the various tracks during the sew
eral meets.
III paying for a license at the track
makes the thing right. why not allow
people TO accept bets on the races any
where I'm the state on the same terms
as the game is played at the various
tracks.
Surely. by allowing betting on the
races in certain spots in this State and
forbidding IL in all other sections. a
discrimination Is made and people do
not have equal rights. yet the Consti.
tuition Of this great republic is based
on equal rights.
A ma jority of cases Of non.support
and other crimes which came before
this jury had their basis in playing the
races. IL IL the opinion of this body
the races are a curse Ia the State.

PLAN FOR EXPRESS HIGHWAYS
LINKING u. S. STUDIED IN HOUSE
Representative Tilson Tells of Project for
Fast-Moving Traffic Routes Fostered
by Government.

Plans already have been prepared
by construction engineers. Mr.. Tilson
said.
"Inasmuch as one road IL elevated
over the other" he said. at would he
possible TO so route traffic that left
hand turns could he eliminated and
thus prevent congestion.
Would Let Tolls Pay.
1.-THE cost Of constructing these
highways. it Is proposed. would he
met by collection of tolls. Ii Is be-
lieved that these tolls would be more
than offset by the saving effected on
a long trip in time. gas and wear and
tear on a car. Any profit from the
toll collected could be used TO build
other highways and expand the sys-
tenn. Eventually the system would
link all important industrial centers
in all parts OF the country.
THE highways themselves would
have an express passenger section
and also an express commercial traf.
nc section.
'It Is the belief that such highways
shortly may be started by private
enterprise IL the Federal Government
does not enter the field. and undoubt
eddy private capital would profit to q
large extent IL so employed"
While Mr.. Tilson did not touch
upon this phase. congressional com.
mittees at times have been told by
various witnesses that q system Of ex.
press highways would be Of material
value from q standpoint Of national
defense.
