 Displaying little offensive strength. the New Britain Rolley Hockey quintet went down to defeat at the hands of the Meriden Maroons yes- terday afternoon at the Stanley Arena by the scsore Of 9 to 5. The local combination lacked the flash of former games and although the defensive play of Brown and Muir head was on a par with their play all season, the team as a whole was not up to standard.
 For two periods the quintets fur nished the fans with thrills in plenty SO close was the score. Meriden ended the first session with one point lead but could not in- crease 1t in the second despite two goals scored. New Britain got two in the first and countered with two more III the second.
 Four goals by the Silver City quintet in the final frame, however, settled the outcome and left no doubt as to the right of the visiting team to the victory.
 Meriden's two wonder-rushers Williams and Pierce, were in rare form. while Lundeville played a stellar brand of hockey at center. Morrison, proving his worth to the league leaders as a halfback. never was better at the defense post while Jimmy Purcell played a spectacular game in the goal.
 Alexander opened the scoring in the first frame with a pretty goal right through Purcell's legs. Will Hams and Pierce came through with two successive shots into New Britain's cage to put Meriden in the lead. Muirhead got a drive the en- tire length of the floor into the Meriden cage to tie the score but before the period was over a shot by Williams was caged and left the score at the end of the session 5 to in favor of the Silver City con- tingent.
 The second period developed into a sweet battle with both teams play- ing desperately. Pierce opened the scoring with a nifty exhibition of ball-carrying and a goal scooped from in front of the cage. Alexan- der caromed a drive from Browns hockey into the net. Six seconds afterward, Williams scored again for Meriden but Alexander hit one out of the air that lodged in the Meriden cage. leaving the count at the end of the frame 5 to for Meriden.
 Williams started the third period with . hard drive that got by Blount Boucher scared a drive into Meriden's goal but Pierce came down the floor again and caged an- other for Meriden followed by two from the stick Of Williams that settled the issue.

planted.

had been up for three years, in
which Smith said: "A chain Of farms
might help the situation. At least
the business methods embodied in
the situation would bring the only
relief that l can possibly think of.
