With "Red". DonnelIy added to the Amsterdam roller hockey quin- tct as regular center. the New Brit ain Partners ran up against an i'm movable snag last night in the New York city and lost its second straight game Of the second half of the league play by the score of 9 to ,.
 It was a fast and thrilling battle from start to finish despite the four point margin of the New York state team at the end of the game. Lun- derville put his team into the lead at the opening of the game and New Britain, despite the hard work of Williams and Earl Pierce. was un- able to catch the fast travelling combination.
 AS has been usual in the last few games, New Britain staged q spirit cd squirt but the faster the panthers went, the faster the Amstcrdammers sped along. It was q surprising showing for the team that was in last place in the first half play, and last nights result gives a warning 10 the other teams in the circuit that. with Donnelly at center.
