Last Nights Results Amsterdam '. Hartford 4. Tauton 5, Albany 1.
Official Standin,
Games Tonight Albany at Hartford.

Paving the way for it's own rise to the top of the American Roller Hockey league by it's sensational vic tory over the Hartford Indians at the Stanley Arena last Wednesday night. the New Britain Panthers, without lifting a hand. are in first place to- day as q result of the defeat of the Indians last night by Steve Pierce and his crew of Amsterdam Hurri- canes. Hartford was without the services of Fred Jean. the leagues bad boy. Jean was injured in this city Christmas night after d series of fisticuffs with "kid' Williams during the game.
 Hartford has the chance to tie New Britain tonight by a victory over the Albany Lawmakers but the New York state crew is by far the favorite because Jean is not expected to be in the game tonight. Albany hasn't yet won a game on the Hart ford floor and the jinX might be broken tonight.
 Jean Under X-rays
 Jean had N-ray pictures taken of his injury at St. Francis hospital yesterday in order to determine whether his rib is fractured or not. The result of these pictures, it is ex- pected will be known today and will determine Jeans immediate future. Jean expects to be back in the game next Sunday.
 Meeting Today
 League officials will hold a meet ing at the Stanley Hotel in this city this afternoon. A schedule of games will be arranged for next week and action might be taken on the trans fer of the Bridgeport franchise to Cohoes, x. Y.
 The New Britain team has no games scheduled until this meeting names it's playing dates. The team will get into action on Sunday against a yet unnamed opponent. It is not expected that the team will be playing in this city next Wednes- day night. Instead. New Britain will probably keep it's regular playing date on Thursday night next week.

Pasadena, Cal, Dee. 27.-- They call it the annual grid classic, and this year at least. it will be worthy of the name.
 The two teams that meet Jan. | have been ranked among the first tCur in the country. Notrc Dame has usually topped the list, then Pittsburgh, Southern CaIitor- mia and Purdue. If Pittsburgh Wirs by a good margin, they will have equal claim with the Fighting Irish to the mythical national crown.
 Money Bchnd TOjano
 Picking the winner can hardly be more than d guess. There is plenty of money to back the 'rro- ians. And many fans believe that Pitt will win. The betting is even.
 In selecting the probable winner there are d few questions that stand out in the mind of the public.
 l-Can Plttsburgh's defense of passes break I'D the Trojan acriai attack? The same attack that ran wild and rolled up 4J points against Carnegie Tech.
 2-Can the All-Amorica Donchcss and his running mate smear those | powerful off-tacl,ie thrusts with threc-man interference? The same , power plays that have gained five 10 50 wards per shot against the ! best of opposition this SeaSon, 3-Will the elusive Saunders run ragged against the Panthcrs as he did against Carnegie Tech and Stan ford? Tbc same Saunders that wigglcd out % yards and q touc. down agalnst the powerful EocInc team.
 i 4--Will the Panther passes spread cut the Trojan line and allow Park inson and Uansa to plunge through l center for long gains, Or will the dependable Barragcr and Dye hold them in check as they did SmallnS and Rothert of Stanford, two of the greatest plungcrs in the west?
 5-Is the reserve strength Of Pittsburgh equal to that of south crn California? Or will those ten or l : Trojan backs go into the game fresh and tear the Panthcrs to pieces?
 Passes and Power pItl's defense Of forward pass s Is hcralded d, one of the best ID the country. It's d cinch that Troy will not run wild against Pitt as they did against Carnegie. But it is quite likely that the outcome of the game will depend on this more than any other point.
 And tl.o Trojan power plays. ]Ccl. Sutherland Is said to have one c; he bcst~ pair ot clls in the COunj,y. Certainly no one can diSputC DOu- chess. AnG ii IS at tn" ends that many ot Troy1 plays are aimed Thornton, and Norton of California effectively stopped them. It is likely that Pittsburgh will.
 As to Saunders. He may 2ct away for one or two long ruus Even Norrr Dame couldn't keep him bottlcd up entirely.
 Southern CailtCruia is not rspc ciaIly strong ou defense 0, pas&Gs Both California and Notrc 'Dmn' were able 10 work their aerial at. tack with success.

For the first time since the season began the Fafnir quintet will have it's regular lineup at the start Of the game. Bclscr, HavIiCll and Matnlls who have been out at various times are in good condition and are ready for the opening whistle.
 Howard BclScr who has not been with the team this year will start ai forward with Al llavlick who was out for several games Matulis will be back ill the guard position where he will probably be assigned to take care of Elmer Swanson, the Stanley Works scoring acc. The other two regulars who have been playing since the beginning Of the season will round ont the team. Gerry GicrochowSli will start at center and Mickey" Buchcri will be Matulis' running mate at guard.
 Coach John GrobstCin will start the lineup that has kept the colors of the Stanley Works flying high in all but one game this year. Al die" Howett will be the center; FL mer swanson and Arnold Rcckert, forwards, and Two Point Abramo- Wicz and Harold Carlson, guards.
 Last Place at Stake
 Again two of the many teams which have been fighting to stay out of last place will play each other. ! P. Go F. Corbin and the GascoS have each won one game this year. Fol lowers of each team claim their charges are capable of better things. | Included in the lincups of each team arc players who are still do- ing big things in professional and semi professional teams.
 The Gascos have JohnnE Shcc- ! han, member of the National Guard team; Carl I;estcIi, member of ! I.anphcr's Now Britain .tcan, and , "Huggy' Carlson. ono Of the out i standing players on the Burrltts. i F. X r.

What is the longest golf carry ever
made?" asks S. F. No official tests I'M
der correct conditions have ever been
attempted with the longer wallops

ground, no favoring wind and the pres
ence of such long hitters as Gambler of
DCtAO4C, WOO0 IAd1Ss 10OODy
Fisher and one or two others who would
find the job of carrying 26O yards close
to the limit. The average long hitter
among the leading professionals can
rarely carry 245 yards under the condi-
lions named. A few years ago Bobby
Jones won long distance hitting con-
test from big field of amateurs with
three carries that average 226 yards
driving across a polo field with no ia
voring wind. The length of roll doesn't
mean anything. Under certain condi-
tionS, over baked courses, only fair hit
tiers have driven over 400 yards with a
following wind A following wind and
a baked-out course can make almost
anybody a long hitter. Both Johnny
Farrell and Bobby Jones figure that a
250-yard carry on level turf is close to
the limit for all except possibly one or
two phenomenal slashers.

Nineteen twenty-three, for an exam

Five years may not mean so much

The passing show of 1928 featured

FEW DETROIT MEN
SURE OF POSITIONS
Bucky Proposes to Revise
Team GreatIy-More Slab
Power Needed.

Associated Press STAFF Writer.

~ ETROIT. January 1S.-1n thu
spare figure of Stanley Ray
mond ("Bucky') karlsruhe
H. says he isn't promising any
thing-rest the hopes of Detroi
base ball fans that an ailing Detroit
Tiger this season will receive a Stimu-
lating tonic.
Harris, who takes George Moriarty's
place as manager of the Detroit Amer
lean League club, at present is engaged
in giving the Tiger a thorough over
hauling. He has refused. however, to
make any predictions regarding the ami
mails health during the coming season.
Few regulars will be back, and even
fewer of these will be certain of their
places, Bucky has announced. Charley
Gehringer, Harry Heilmann and Marty
McManus of the infleld; Jonathan Stone
and Harry Rice. outfielders; owen Car
roll and Vic Sorrell. pitchers, are among
those 1airly certain of appearing in the
lineup
Weakest in pitching, the Detroit club,
which finished In sixth place last year.
will have a revised staff. Heading the
list is George Uhle, brought from Cleve-
land in trade which took Ken Hollo-
way. pitcher, and Jackie Tavener
Shortstop.
Prudhomme Promising.
From Toronto of the minors comes
Johnny Prudhomme, a right handler,
who Is expected to develop into head
liner. Carroll. Sorrell. Josh Billings and
Earl Whitehill Of last years team will
be available, while Lii Stoner and Sam
Gibson are on the doubtful list. No
changes have been made in the CATCH
ing staff to date. Larry Woodall, Mer-
win Shea and Bill Hargrave are on the
roster, and Ed Phillips of Toronto. who
worked out with the club during train
ing last year, is a possibility.
The Coast League has been drawn
upon to furnish Roy johnson of San
Francisco. designed for the right-field
berth. johnson is a slugger, hitting
close to 400 last year, and Bucky has
high hopes for him. Fat Robert Fo-
t1ergill, who Is having his poundage
troubles, probably will be utility out
fielder.
Heilmann may have to stage battle
for first-base position with Dale Alex
ander, International Lacquer, who was
acquired this year.
Soluble New Shortstop.
Heinie Soluble, from Houston, is the
shortstop candidate, replacing Tavener.
Chick Galloway remains to give Soluble
competition.
Tables are reversed for Bucky and
George Mcbride. When Bucky was
holding down second sack at Washing
ton, Mcbride was his manager. Now
Mcbride, as coach this year for De-
troit. is working for his old employee.
With President Frank Navin, a new
half owner of the Detroit club appears
in the person Of Walter o. Briggs, au-
tomobile body manufacturer Briggs,
however, Is not expected to take an ac-
tive part in the clubs management.
The Detroit club will go to Phoenix,
Ariz., for the training season.
