Game Tonight Meriden at Waterbury.

boW0 lUnlRnI Meriden at Waterbury Having suffered two defeats so far in the playoff for the roller hockey championship. the New Brit ain team will be hard placed tomor- row night to defeat the fast travel. ling Meriden Maroons when they appear against it at the Stanley Arena. New Britain lost a game which was all wrapped up in hard luck to Waterbury here Monday night and then took to 3 trim ming at the hands of the Hartford team last night in the Capital city. Meriden and New Britain played one of the most exciting and spec | tacular games on record in the his tory of the sport In Meriden last Friday, night The Hardware City blanked the Silver City contingent 3 10 0. Tomorrow nights game should be a duplication of this en- counter.
 LOsc to Hartford Wild Bill" pugsan. erstwhile Bristol star. now q member of the Hartford team. was the thorn in the side of New Britains contingent last night. Going scoreless throughout the contest, 1t was Duggan's floor work that enabled his mates to shoot in the points that gave Hart ford it's victory.
 The defeat puts New Britain dc ctdedly i'll the cellar in the stantling and IL will be a hard uphill fight for the home club if it is to be in the running for the championship.
 "Ruhe" Williams continued his sensational defensive game in the contest and he covered Alexander up so well that "Ossie" found only occasional opportunities 10 hit" The excellent defense of the Capital City combine upset all of New Brit aims chances
 Welch scored the first goal Of tho night when he took pass from Jean and snared it in. Alexander got loose for a shot and he cagcd point for the local team. Before .ho period ended. Welch had added an- other to Hartfords total. Hartford scored the only goal of the second period.
 Then in the last frame, Hartford ran wild, Si. Aubin scored three times and Jean once while Nov Britain. in A desperate rally near the close. managed to get two goals in the quick eye of Alexander.
 The summary:
 Hartford New Britain :. Welch. Duggan ....... Alexander
 First Rush St Auplh .-..-.......... BouC her
 Second Rush Jedh ,.......-..... Brown

TUNNEY TRAINING
 FOR NEXT FIGHTS
Social Obligations Not Interia.
 ing With Serious Work

New York. March LP,-Gene Tunney may have his social obiiga-
 'ions to fulfill while spending most of the winter In Florida but the l heavyweight champion is not allow
 ing them to interfere with prep arations for his flstic engagements
 in the summer.
 l The picture Of Gentleman Gene. as brought back from Miami Beach by the big gymnasium and muscle man. Artie McGovern. is not of an athlete in repose on the sands but of an energetic young business man concentrating upon the plans for one or two deals this year in left hooks preferred. -
 ''Tunney is close 10 fighting shape right now, training regularly and thoroughly" said McGovern. Like Babe Ruth he knows the value of -year-around competition. Gene is within three rounds of his best fighting weight now. He doesn't vary that much the year round, he told me"
 For those who may be skeptical Of the way Mir. Tunney puts in his time, this is a sample daily schedule verified by Mir. McGovern:
 Up and dressed by s:3o or s:45, regularly. after going through a series of setting up exercises.
 Ring workout, rope skipping. shadowboNinS and sparring with one or more of his camp mates.
 Hearty breakfast, about l0:3o. the first of only two meals on the daily schedule.
 Attends to correspondence and other business until about l:30.
 Afternoon diversion. usually golf. champions only sport hobby outside the ring,
 Dinner at about $. followed by evening social activity or reading before retiring in time to insure reg ular rest of at least hours,
 Tunny's rules for health and proper condition are far from con- plicated.
 If l were passing on any advice to boys and young men" Gene told McGovern. "I would urge them to do these four main thipgs-exercise consistently and properly. regulate the daily schedule. eat wholesome food and avoid stimulants."
 These are the champions rules. He neither drinks nor smokes, he docs not use even coffee or tea. Two quarts of water are part of his daily diet. While he is in training camp before Q fight he drinks two quarts of milk daily.
 The opinion abroad that Gentle man Gone has become Thigh hat' since assuming championship stature is not shared fy Professor McGovern.
 T think some of the boys do Gene an injustice in spreading that idea" said Artie. They do not un- derstand him.
 Gene is not a professional glad handler and never will be.
 Neither has he any airs around 10 promote his personality and color. The champion has never pull cd any of the How are you Kid 1, stuff. accompanied by the old slap 1 on the back, just for effect, That l may be why some Of the boys think l he's up-stage.
 There's one thing you can be l sure of, Gene Tunney knows his own business and attends to 1t himself. l If and when he takes 1t on the 1 chin. and stays down, it won't be ' because he has neglected to be fit in 1 mind and body"

Aoi'o"iiiS 'lc victory of the Stan ley Rule Girls basketball team over l-anders last night, an argumen. has arisen over the piayoft of q tie game carly ln the season between the two teams. Manager Recano of the Tnt- Nefsals Believes that the schedule is Ihlshed and the tie game should not De played He claims the champion snip on the strength of the fact that his crew has won eight games lost one and tied one
 Coach Jimmy Murphy of ,he Stan Icy Rule team and Coach Pat" toons of r. & F. Corbins are oppos- cd to him and claim the game should be played.
 A meeting on the question will be held next Friday evening at which tlmn the question will be thrasheu ont If 1t is decided that the game will be played. the contest will be staged next Tuesday night. in all probability.
 Tho mons league will begin a Sat urday schedule this week, Stanley Rule playing Corbiu Cabinet Lock,
 We have been asked our opinion on the argument in question and without regard 10 the claims of either manager or without interest in 1hc outcome of the league, we would Say that common sense would dictate that the tie game be played off.
 To our minds. a tie contest is the same thing as no contest. In a tic game, no decision is reached and therefore no game can be counted. To make the schedule complete each teams standing should show 10 games played. that is the total of wins and losses should amount to the number of games on the sched- ule.
 At the present time, Landers and 1 Stanley Rule show one game less !, than the other teams because Of the |! lie game. Therefore, In order 10 | have the standing complete. the | game should be played
 Tie games in major league base | ball are all played off no matter ! what effect they have on the stand | ing. It is q common sense ruling and should hold in the local basket pill league.

new CONDITIONS
FACING EXCHANGE.
Concentration of Full Day in
Four Hours Big Problem
Before Market.
BY CHARLES r. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, May 19.-When Wall
Street opens for business on Monday,
after the fifth Saturday closing this
Spring, 1t will face a new set Of work.
ing conditions and the possible effect OF
the Chesapeake g. Ohio decision, which
was rendered after the market closed
on Friday.
The necessity Of closing the exchange
each day at 2 o'clock will create de-
mand for concentrating about the same
amount of business in four hours as
had previously been done in five. The
ticker cannot run much faster than 1t
has been running. and with the simpli-
fication of stock abbreviations about all
has been accomplished in promoting
the rapid publication of quotations that
is possible under present methods. In
stead of getting the final quotations
around o'clock the public will be able
to read them at about the time the
market ordinarily closed.
Plan Is Experiment.
It still remains to be seen whether
this extra hour into which will be
crowded all Of the business that it IS
possible for the exchange to transact
viii relieve the pressure in clerical
forces in Wall Street. Further efforts
to accommodate the business of the
Street may be made along the line Of
semi-weekly instead OF da:;'i clearings.
The Chesapeake decision followed
closely after that by the commission
in the Wheeling & Lake Erie case. in
which was denied the right of officials
Of the New York Central, Baltimore
& Ohio. and Nickel Plate roads to sit
on the board of the Wheeling 6s Lake
Erie Railroad This may throw control
of this situation into the hands of the
Pittsburgh and West Virginia interests
who are the largest individual holders
OF Wheeling stock.
Have Discounted Denial.
Erie stocks have already discounted
to some extent an expected denial by
the commission of the Chesapeake ap-
plication. There is no intention by the
Van Sweringen interests to dispose of
their personal holdings, as they expect
to go on developing this road along the
same lines as they did in Nickel Plate
under the direction of President J.
Bernet.
The decision emphasizes the atti-
tude of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission toward railroad consultations
and especially to that phase of mergers
where there are involved financial sit
uations TO be considered.

Dun's Sees Nothing In BUSINESS
News to Excite Street.
NEW YORK, May 10 OP.-Dun's
says:
With the heaviest dealings In stock
market history, accompanied by violent
price fluctuations, purely commercial
developments have continued dwarfed
In interest.
The contrast between the excited
speculation and the conservative opera
tions in general trade has become still
more striking and Is a phenomenon
quite without parallel.
Nothing in the current weeks news
respecting ordinary business could have
accounted for the furore in Wall Street,
the unsettlement there being in no sense
a true reflection Of the mercantile stu
alton. The latter discloseS no essential
changes from the conditions recently
prevailing. irregularity remaining Its
chief characteristic, and wholesale COM
modify quotations reveal no marked pre-
dominance of either advances or de-
clnes In manufactured articles, as
distinguished from farm staples, there
is an absence of a decisive upward
trend such as would prompt buyers to
make important commitments against
probable future needs, and the bulk OK
the purchasing continues to be for i'm"
mediate or early requirements.
