New Britain rightfully earned the
reputation Of being the best sports
center in the state Of Connecticut
during the year Of 1928. q survey
of the sports situation shows. With
the variety Of sports promotions
conducted here and the success with
which all OF them met. the fans OF
this city can we'll afford to sit back
and view with satisfaction the work
of the various teams In all branchea
State Champions
New Britain had another state
championship team in basketball
last year. The New Britain team,
managed by Clarence Lanpher.
waded through all the opposition
afforded 1t in the state league and
came out the winner OF the PEN
nant. In competition with teams
other than those In the state
league. the local quintet moved
down all sorts Of opposition and
hung up record that compares
favorably with the quintet Of IS
years ago.
Roller Hockey
In roller hockey during the sea-
son which closed last spring, the
New Britain team, though not a
championship one, finished we'll up
in the lists and gave the fans the
feeling that the present season
would be productive OF a team that
would win the pennant this season.
So far this year. the New Britain
crew has come through with a rally
that has pulled the team from last
place to the top OF the list.
Rotary Boys League

nicipal recreation board might take
over the league next season.
Record Of Falcons
For the sixth successive year the
main baseball attraction on Sundays
in this city was furnished by the
Falcons. The Polish aggregation
banded together one of the strongest
semi-pro lineups in the state and
were coached by Raymond Begley.
The local club entered the Connecti-
cut State league but the circuit fail

Falcons dropped out.
Some OF the best attractions In
this state and Massachusetts were
brought here by the Falcons man.

classics were staged at St. MGry's
field. The local club copied its
share OF wins and, as result. large
crowds were present every Sunday.
At the end of the season the Fall
cons entered in city series with
the Stanley Works, Burritts and the
Rangers and succeeded in capturing
Its first city cham pionship. In the
Greater New Britain series with
Kensington, the Paper town team
proved too strong with Cooke
Woodman in the box and the Fal-
cons were forced to take three beat
ings in row. In all. the Falcons
had a very successful year, winning
Is games and losing 8.
Johnny Klatka, who led the
team in batting, was voted the most
valuable player on the team and was
presented with a gold watch.
High School Activities

New Britain slid back into second
place in the American Roller Hook

holding the lead for a day when the
team lost a hard fought game to the
Providence crew.

Lose to Providence
Providence, with its star rush

backed up by Archie Muirhead and
Arriuda and it's staunch defender IN
the cage, Bill Jette, proved al
together too much for the New
Britain team yesterday afternoon at
the Stanley Arena. A four goal
start in the first period, despite a
desperate attempt to even matters
up, proved too great handicap for
kid" Williams and Company and
New Britain lost its Sunday after
noon by the score OF 6 to 1.
The Hardware City crew appeared
to be slightly off color. This would
be a natural reaction from the
teams great efforts in the past two
weeks. Up to yesterday the crew
had won six OF seven games and
had slashed its way from the very
bottom Of the league to the top
position. Yesterdays defeat was
the second suffered in eight games.

As Providence had its big session in

combined with the off-cclor Of the
day. kept Williams and Thompson
working at fever heat all through
