 Ths local players anticipate g rough session in the Capital City to- night as the Yankees have a bare chance of coming in under the wire for first place in the second half race. New Britain. on the other hand, is determined to retain its position in the lead against all odds and the local players can be relied upon to give their best in the con- test tonight.
 From all reports, nearly as many fans as attend the games here, will be on their way to Hartford to- night to watch the battle. The sue cess of the drive of the Hardware City quintet towards the champion ship of the second round of the schedule and the victory of the team over the Atlas last Saturday night have get the fans in this city afire and New Britain will not lack for rooters tonight.
 Hartford and New Britain split even in the first half. New Britain early in the season, took the measure of the Capital City team in Hartford but in the second game, New Britain was nosed out by one point in the game played here.
 Hartford will present its usual lineup with Murphy, Gubersky and Torrant at the forwards, Hurley at center and Friedman and Hafner at the guards. New Britain's first lineup will take the floor with Slo- man and Rubenstein at forwards. Zakzewski at center and Sheehan and I.eary at guards.

 Speed in Amateur Game
League Standing

Dill and Newell. working nicely together as the forward pair of the Oakland Pontiac roller hockey team last night. handed the Nash team a whitewashing to the tune of to 0 in the preliminary game in the Automobile League at the Stanley arena last night. Between them, the two rushers scored seven of the eight points for the winners. Frank kieffer scored the other one.
 The ball was certainly not rolling for the Nash players last night. Pass after pass rolled on the wrong side of the men as they sped down the floor. and many opportunities to score were lost because the forwards were not in scoring position on the various plays.
 Frank kieffer did exceptional work for the winners on the defense and he paired up well with his goal tender in keeping the Pontiac goal undented during the game. The Nash team was exceedingly weak in the defense positions, Hall being the only man who seemed able to stop Dill and Newell as they passed to and fro down the rink.
 Pontiac jumped into a lead in the first period that was sufficient 10 give the team the game. Dill start ed with a scoop into the side of the cage. Newell followed with another a short time after. Then Dill sent two screaming drives into the net and Newell ended the period by scoring Pontiac's fifth goal.
 Two more in the second period, one by Frank Kieffer and the other by Dill added 10 this total and a last period score by Newell gave the Pontiacs total of eight. It was in the last period that Nash showed its best stuff and the players made a

This will be the first of two mems games and it will be preceded by a girls game between the teams of the same factories and followed by another mems game between P. & +.

One of Stanley Works defeats was at the hands of Corbin Screw five in the first game of the season. Since the first week in December. the Buttmakers have won every game and they are now at the point where 1t will be pro. nounced a dangerous contender or just an "also ran."
 In previous years the Buttmakers were always a group going nowhere but the team is now at the point where it can upset preseason dope, if it can come through tonight.
 Corbin Screw has proven to bs nearly impossible to beat. It wins on its off-nights. In the last two games. the Screw Shop team has been of form in the early part of the game, but came back to win. It defeated the Corbin Cabinet Lock team in the final second of play and 1t defeated New Britain Machine in an overtime period.

New Britain herald., 1928-02-21

New Britain occupies second place in the American Roller Hockey league today by virtue of sensa- tional win over the Waterbury team at the Stanley Arena last night by the score of to 3. A harder battle has not been fought by either team than the one in which both engaged last night. Play appeared to be slow in comparison with other games be- cause of the fact that the two teams were, in the early stages of the game, strictly on the defense and the players devoted most of their at tention to breaking up the opposing drives for the goals.
 Starting with Browns drive in the first period at the 1:l2 mark, which bounced off Alexander's legs and into Waterbury's cage. one of the most bitter battles in the league vas played. For the remainder of | first period and all through the sec- ond frame. no scoring was done by either team though both quintets were playing for all they were worth.
 Barney Doherty was the outstand- 1 ing star of the game even though his team was defeated. His work at halfback prevented New Britain's rushers from caging more points than they did and wherever the ball was, there was Barney blocking, kicking, hitting and passing like the champion that he has always been.
 Alexander, Boucher and Gid Brown formed trio of goal drivers that put the game away for New Britain. Alexander and Boucher were never better than they were last night though they were extend- ed to the limit against the form being shown by Doherty. Archie Muirhead was a stonewall in him. self on the defense and his work formed the major part of New Brit aims success in keeping the Water bury drives away from New Brit aims goal.
 1 Neither team was able 10 open the scoring lists until the third period. Then six goals were registered. three being made by each team. One ! proved to be an unfortunate break , for New Britain when, as he was 1 playing the ball in front of his own cage. Boucher accidentally kicked it in giving Waterbury an additional goal which the team did not earn. | Alexander did most of the scoring for New Britain, but it was the team work of the entire quintet that spelled victory. The two New Brit ain rushers showed plenty of speed in getting around the floor while Brown was everywhere, up the floor in the attack and back again on the defense.
 Davies and Harkins played hard to win, but they were unable to touch , the game played by New Britain Red" Donnelly shone at center for Waterbury while the work of the two goal tenders, 1lount and Love- green. was nothing short of sensa- tional.
