 Humbeck was saved from further punishment when the referee stop ped the bout in the sixth round or what was to have been . 10 round fray. The fact that Delaney had conceded 21 pounds to his heftier opponent seemed to have made little difference.
 When tho mill was halted, the big blonde Belgian had his right eye closed tightly and was otherwise in no shape to continue. Humbeck was sent to tho canvass in the fifth by wicked right smash to the jaw and after that Delaney scored almost at will although tho Belgian was never completely out of the picture.
 Humbeck's heavy swings fire quently found Delaney's body but seemed to have inflicted no substan- tial damage. His gameness in the face of overwhelming eddA however. brought him . big hand et the end Of the fight. Delaney weighed 11s pounds and Humbeck iSS.

League Leaders to Battle New Britain at Stanley Arena Tomtrrow-New Britain Plays in Waterbury To- night - Silver City Club Not to Have So Easy Time as On Thursday = Preliminary Game to Be Started at 2:3O O'Clock and Main Game at 3:30.

The Meriden Maroons. leaders in the American Roller Hockey league. will return to this city Sunday aft ernoon to engage the New Britain team M another league contest. NMeriden handed the locals pasting here Thursday night to the tune of s to 1 but the visitors will. 1t is ex- pected. meet stiffer opposition in the game tomorrow.
 This will be the first contest under the new regulations allowing the sport to be played on Sunday after moons. The measure passed the com mon council at it's meeting Wednes- day evening.
 Meriden is considered the strong est team in the league at the present time. It's two rushes. Williams and Steve Pierce are rated as ;.mong the fastest that ever have been in the game. Lundeville. Meriden boy. is filling in nicely at center while the defensive duet of Morrison and Pur- cell is as good as there is in the league.
 New Britain will play Waterbury in Waterbury tonight. The Brass City outfit captured the champion ship of the first part of the league and at the present time. is going at a fast pace.
 The local team, after its poor showing on Thursday night. will be in better form for a hard battle Sun day afternoon. Meriden will not find the opposition az easy tomorrow as it, did during the week. The local crew was very much of form in that game but it will be expected to show better stuff tomorrow.
 The preliminary game will be started at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and the main feature will be staged at 3:30 o'clock. The doors of the arena will be opened at 2 o'clock.

In the first encounter. scheduled for 7:45 o'clock. the Center Congrega- tionalists will meet the Trinity Methodists. The former team has lost both starts but has on each try shown unexpected power during the first half. If 1t can develop stamina it will make trouble for the other quintets in the circuit. The Metho- dists. after dropping their initial game. came back last week with an Impressive victory over the First Lutherans and are ranked as dan gerous. They will also be strengthen ed tonight by the addition of Alden Hewett. who will pair up with his brother.
 The Swedish Bethany team will face the St. Matthew's Lutherans in the second contest. which will get under way at $50 o'clock. The Bethany outfit has plenty of ma terial but it failed to work togeth- CT in its first games. With some of the needed experience now acquired. it ought to be a hard foe for the St. Matts to conquer. The St. Mats. however. have come through with | two rather easy triumphs and. with Q veteran lina.up are favorites to- night.
 In the nightcap. which will start at 9:15 o'clock. the South Congrega. tionalists will play the First Luth erans. The South church Is now en- . it's championship and has . team of veterans which breexed through it first game without trouble. The first Lutheran lineup is uncerts in. but a strong team with both old and young material is being gather cred and the Swedes are by no means . set-up array.
