 Tho Bristol Endeee naAAs . s~r-] prisine comeback a&atn1t the sturdy Mertdsn Eades Basketball tean sat- urdiy night tn Brssta by wtnainx v to t4 befors one .sof ths slareest crowds to gather It the Bristol State Armory In several moons.
 Tho Bristol team played tho aame kind of . same against the 94ver City quintet as New Britain did when the Mertasaites playe6 hsre . week ago saturday ntght. Every effort waa devoted towards stopping tho scoring attack of Cohsn.,
 The Belief Of Nanagers Clarence Lanphsr and Joe Carroll that Aeri- deh h only ordinary without tho help usually given the team in the scoring lists by '.Hsrb" Cohen. has been borne, out In the last two games New Britain stopped Cohen and New Britain won. Bristol did the same last saturday night and Bris- tel won. Another :. cass, Of 'When Ruth goes good. so do the 1ankeeA"
 "Gas-House'' pete daxzingA wins the blue ribbon for the ability to mako tho most ferocious faces while g polo game is> in proGress. So intent is Pete on winning the hall game that he wean . perpetual frown.
 Jimmy Purcell of the Fall River team, diminutiye cage guardian who is more commonly known n "Corky Hill," is about as colorful . goalte as there is in the American Roller Hockey league. Short of stature and with no great sise to him. "Corky" all but stands on his head as he makes his stops before tho cage. Hs is one of the best in the league.
 Because of his early season rustt- ! ness, Pete Welch h down in the standing among tho goal tenders. His work at the present time brands him among the leaders. Very few shots ret by Pete these dayA
 Daves and Blount havo quit Wa terbur7. Some say it ts because of sympathy for Red" Donnel1y who was released. The story of the real inside dope on the situation is that when the manageres agreed to end tho seAson on March ,. the two de- mandsd six weeks pay. Naturally | they were told to 'try and get it." We clnnot youch for the truth in this tory.
 Manager Frank McDouough is thinking about adding Bib Bou- cher .o the New Britain team for the post-seaSon series which will most prob.bly be played with Albany for the championship of the league. Be- caus. of the loss of Barney Doherty and the improbability that he will play again this season with his tn- jurel leg. New Britain has to get an extn man. Boucher should be pop ular addition to the local quintet.
 Iohcrty will probably be able to get back into his toES again in a shdt time, but it will be taking too grat a chance to allow him to play aftlr suffering the severe injury that hedid in Albany last Wednesday night.
 t was . funny situation that arse Saturday night which led Res tell and kravchak to stage short dbplay of flsticuffs. The whole af- far was started by Ray Hoist.
 Restelli was after the ball at the vrst end of the court with krav- ulak right behind him. Hoist came hnning up behind kravchak and in turning, he gave the Russian 'hove. Kravchak, impclled forward, nit Restelli like a ton of brick and
 By this time, Hoist was at the other end of the court so that kravchak didn't know who pushed him. He started running towards the other end of the court to get into the play when Restelli. with ire in his eyes, leaped on him, caught him by the neck and tried to tear his head off. Kravchak. still in fog, turned to defend himself and Res tellt swung.
 The funny part of it all was that Referee Clyde Waters turned just in time to see Restelli so for Kravchak. No serious harm was done and the incident was more comical than 1t was serious. Both men were ban- ished from the game but the referee decided to allow them to finish as there were only two minutes to 90. : For the benefit of those fans who attended the boxing bouts last Mon- day night, we wish to inform them that they will have the pleasure of seeing in action tonight the great boxing team from the City of .
 With the advent of the Albany team here next Thursday night in the American Roller Hockey league game, fans here will get an idea of how the teams will compare in the play-off series which will take place after the league closes.
