HOCKEY TEAM IN SHAPE FOR GAME
Wauingiord Quintet to Oppose
 Locals Tomorrow Night

Roller hockey will hold the spot light of interest tomorrow night when the fast-traveling New Britain quintet meets the Wallingford tribe at the Stanley Arena in an Ameri- can league game. The Wallingford team last night took the measure of the Waterbury five. champions of the first half of the league and dis played a surprising attack and ag- gressiveness.
 Tho New Britain team has been on a winning rampage in its recent games and all the players have re-
 ported in good shape for the battle tomorrow night. Browns thumb is responding to treatment while Archie Muirhead has suffered no i'll effects from the two bruises on his head.
 The Wallingford crew will be the same as has carried the colors of the borough through the first part of the season. Kid" Duggan and Earl Pierce are at the rush positions with Hardy in center. Williams is at halfback with Conley at goal.
 The local aggregation will have its speedy pair of rushers on the firing line with Alexander at the first gate and Boucher following through. The play of these two has been tho sen- sation of the league in its closing weeks and now that they have matched themselves in perfect har- mony. great things are expected of them. Captain Archie Muirhead will be at center while Gid" Brown, the Babe Ruth" of roller hockey and one of the greatest defensive halfbacks in the league, will guard all approaches to New Britain's cage. Bill Blount. spectacular goalie. who suddenly jumped from last place to first in the league standing among the goal tenders. will guard the cage. Tn his recent game%L es- pccially against Waterbury Monday night, Blount was 0 sensation in himself. His spectacular work Mon- day night has really proved him 10

The New Britain South church as- sumed sole possession Of first place in the Senior County "" basketball league last night when 1t downed the Pennington Triangles. 3s-37, at the Y. M. c. A. in one of the closest and most exciting games played here this season. It was the fifth straight victory for the locals, who hereby completed the first round without a loss, while it was the first time Pennington had been defeated.
 The visiting team displayed tho most uncanny accuracy from long range and, although held outside Of normal scoring distance by . tight South church defense. tho Triangles took shot after shot from beyond the center of the floor and made . bewildering proportion of them good. This was what kept them in the fight, for New Britain passed bet ter and showed to better advantage in other departments despite the fact that the absence of Bell broke up the combination which had pounded through the rest of the league.
 Pennington scored first from afleld. but New Britain tied things on two fouls From then on the game was the most thrilling kind of a see-saw affair. with first one team leading and then the other but neither getting more than two or three points advantage. The church led by a point at the quarter and had the same margin at 17-16 when the half closed. The feature shot of the half was long goal by Kennedy from the far foul line. Pennington rallied in the third quarter and took the lead. having an advantage of one point when the third period closed. In the fourth period the game actually specded up. Osborne, hitherto scoreless. suddenly broke loose to sink three field goals. and Mercy and Vessels joined in an of- fensive which gave the South church a 3s-25 lead. Apparently beaten, Pennington then made an amazing rally. scoring 10 points in 5S seconds on shots from beyond the central circle with Captain Rose do- ing the bulk of the shooting. New Britain took time out and then man. aged to stall off the visitors attack for the remaining 1-2 minutes. Mercy made some brilliant goals from the corners and led the home team in scoring. while Vessels SCOT cd five baskets and Osborne came through with three in the last per- iod. May and Parker had their men we'll covered all the way. the church defense forcing the visitors to adopt their lengthy-shooting tactics. Rose starred at this, getting six field goals from guard. while Kennedy display ed fast and shifty floor work. Bat ting" Barta lasted almost all the first half before he went out on fouls.

INTEREST CENTRED IN
 APPEARANCE OF TASSI
Italian Light Heavyweight to Met as Formidable an Opponent as Gititx in Frankie Cavanassh of Bridgeport Supporting Card Appears Ons of Bsst in Years-Former Welterweight Champions to Do Battle-Nadesu and Triano to Settle Their Dispute

Although opinion on the probable outcome Of the bout between Nando rasa and Murray Giuitx both ee New Haven in this city several months ago. is sharply divided with. out either man having been given the advantage because of the act of Referee "Jiggers' Mccarthy in stopping the fight in the third round. the Italian light heavyweight champion is due to meet m oppon. ent fully as formidable as was Git litz. in Frankie Cavanaugh of Bridgeport in this city next Friday night. Tassi and Cavanaugh will battle in the feature eight round bout on the second card to be staged here by the New Britain A. c. at the Stanley Arena.
 Tassi's form in training bodes ill for his Park City opponent but Cavanaugh's record in the ring makes him . formidable opponent for anyone in the light heavyweight class. Cavanaugh. though young in years. is old in ring experience. He has had 3S fights during . meteorio career and after winning g of them. IS by knockouts. he has confident hopes of adding Tassi to his list of victims.
 The bout here promises to be moro than an ordinary scrap. Tassi has been offered "shot at the Garden" provided he wins and if he loses. Cavanaugh will probably take his place in the favor of Tex Rickard. Because Madison Square Garden is the mecca for all fighters. the offer should prove a real plum to both Tassi and Cavanaugh and they should fight accordingly.
 Tho supporting card appears to be one of the best planned in this city in number of years. Frankie O'Brien and Kid Decker of Pitts field who meet in the semi final of six rounds, are both well-known per formers in this section. Decker's win over Tracy Ferguson a few weeks dHV AuN HIN IVSo tV tI1C 0Al1tC ll&utVT by a small margin tho other night. places him on . high plane as . fighter. O'Brien's packers are confi- dent that he will give a good ac- count of himself but he will have to travel at top speed to overcome the furious attack of his opponent. Pinky Kaufman and Jakie Ryan are both former amateur welter- weight champions. Intense rivalry exists between. these two and they will be expected to furnish one of the features of the bout. Buster Ma deau and Joe Triano arc carded to meet for the third time to settle a dispute that could not be decided in two previous bouts. Mickey Ro- berts of Hartford and Reny Chadut of Holyoke meet in the curtain rais- CT.
 The card Is made up of one eight round and four six-round bouts. The first bout of the night will be staged at a:15 o'clock with the others fol- lowing closely after.

GAINS IN CHAIN
SYSTEM SEEN
FORBES
BY b. C. FORBES

Ten years from now great
changes will have been made in
the methods OF conducting large
financial, industrial and other
business enterprises. Just as the
Federal Reserve System divided
the country into IL districts, with
a. main establishment in each and
headquarters in Washington, so
we are going to see many OF our
principal business organizations di.
vide the country into zones, set up
an establishment in each and oper.
ate branches therefrom.
In q sense, what We are going
to witness is a modification of the
chain store method Of doing bust.
ness.
Finance Firm Plan
The head OF one investment
trust, for example, has just been
outlining to me that he is work
ing on the development of exactly
this kind of set-up. In each of
the IL Reserve districts will be or.
ganized a branch to serve bankers
and other dealers in securities
within its territory. The selection
of the securities to be distributed
nationally will be done by the
head office. BY this means it is
planned to create hundreds of des.
irable channels through which to
place trustworthy securities in the
hands OF banks and individual in.
vestors.
Long ago the redoubtable A. p.
Giannini intimated to me that
he had a similar vision for the
creation and development OF a
nationwide network of banks.
From his original institutions in
Los Angeles and San Francisco
he purposed to invade New York
on a large scale, then reach out
tn Chicago and, in time, cover
the whole continent. Subsequent
events have shown. that Mr..
Giannini was very much in earn
est, for he has since acquired the
Bank OF America in New York is
well as other interests elsewhere.
Group Bank Gains
Quiet progress is being made In
the developing of so-called group
banking. That is, powerful inter-
eSts able to command a large
amount of capital are actively
working on plan to acquire either
the total stock or a controlling
interest in banks in different COM
munities. In most instances the
existing management will be con.
tinued, but. where necessary. new
blood viii be installed. All the
members of such a centrally.con-
trolled group will get the benefit
of the administrative and man.
ageriaI brains of the high-pricad
executive at headquarters. Not
only so, but it is figured that
very advantageous arrangements
can be made to enable each of
the banks to acquire the right
kind Of investments for itself.
Also, these banks are looked upon
AZ very valuable potential ont
lets for new underwritings and
other securities selected by head.
quarters.
