 The game is in it's third year in this city and, at the present time. according to all indications this city Is represented by the hest team that has been here in that time Right now. New Britain and Aur- sterdam are tied for first place m the league standing and with the two teams meeting tomorrow artrr- noon and again on Thursday night. either has good chance of getting lead on the other.
 The Arutc brothers have been consistent fans at all inc home games here. They have been deep ly interested in the progress of the team and when the opportunity pre- sented itself to purchase the fran chise. they seized it and the deal was put through yesterday.
 . The team will not be changed. That was the first announcement of the new owners. No one connected iu any way with sports believes in hrea king up d winning combination. Now Britain has just that at the present time.
 There will be many in town who will be sorry to sec Frank Me- Donough pass out of the roller hockey picture. He revived the game here and met with great success for the past two seasons, Only just now have the fans begun to warm up 10 hockey again and a bright future is predicted for the new owners.

 The stable arrived in Washington, D. C., to make n showing at ke.- mans xtheater MuIdoon and his fighters dropped into the famous Harvey's Oyster House for food.
 The presence Of three champions was bruited all about the place: cv"n congressmcn and senators displayed interest
 But the greatest interest WIS shown by three Negro boys who were adept oyster openers. They talked quietly among themselves as they studied Muldoon's menaSc.
 
 The dusky trio got off early th,I night, and went to kcrn2n's thcatcr Each time champion appeared. one Of the oyster openers was pD hand to accept the challenge. An l each time, the dark boy won his battle.

recessed until tonight, when Gov
ernor Moody will give his views in
support Of 1t. He listened IN on the
