TRIES OUT RECRUIT
John McGraw Spends Considerable Time With Utility InfIelder At Keystone Sack.

New York, Feb. 22 ~-The experts" who have been picking Andy Cohen or Andy Reese to play second base for the New York Giants apparently failed 10 take John McGraw into their confidence. Yesterday at Hot Springs. Ark, where the Giants advance guard is training, he sent Melvin Ott, utility outfieldcr and pinch hitter at the
 =ystone sack, where he kept him for some time giving him instruc- tons on how to handle ground balls.
 Although this unexpected move doesn't necessarily mean that Ott has the inside track for Rogers Hornsby's old job, McGraw Eaid he didn't think there was "any harm in seeing how Ott performed there."
 Ott's chief barrier to a regular place on the team has been due to hia legs which are not considered strong enough to stand the pace of daily play. Were it not for that the youngster probably would be in the lineup every day for he wields a potent bat

 BRISTOL IN HOCKEY TILT
Duggan and Pierce Team Up Nicely in Win Over Hard. ware City Quintet-Meriden Maroons Also Lose to Hartford Team - Silver City Crew Scheduled to Play Here Tomorrow Nght-Defeat is Severe Set. back for Local CIub-Exciting Finish.
League Standing

Bristol Is certainly proving to be poison to New Britain in the Amer ican Roller Hockey league race for the second half championship while Hartford furnishes the 'jinx' for Meriden. With New Britain and Meriden battling it out for first place in the league standing at the present time, both teams received severe jolt last night when Bristol trimmed New Britain z to 5 and Hartford downed the Silver City aggregation II to z. The results leave the stand ing unchanged.
 New Britain will be presented with the opportunity of climbing astep nearer the throne tomorrow night at the Stanley Arena when Meriden comes here for a league game. With the departure of Morri- son, the Silver City combination has been weakened great deal more than was thought at first and New Britain stands an excellent chance of WlhnlnR.
 Last night Tn Bristol, New Britain ran into snag in the person of the two Bristol rushers, Kid" Duggan and Earl Pierce. These two were In excellent form and they accounted for all Of Rristofs scores.
 AleXandcr's skate broke and he was forced to retire from the game. Eddie McAloon took his place but before he could get warmed up to the job, Bristol had the game won.
 Boucher's work on the floor was was exceptional and in the third period, he caged two goals to tie the score. Bristol, however. came right back and scored two more giving the Bell Towners the edge at the conclusion of the game.
 The summary:
