 After the near riots at the Stan ley Arena, last night while New Britain and Hartford were playing roller hockey, there is liable to be a full-sized racket here Christmas night when Hartford returns here. New Britain goes 10 Hartford in the afternoon for the first half of a double -headcr.
 We dubbed Fred Jean, the Arr Shires Of polo yesterday, and he bore out his nickname last night. We have been wondering who tht fan was who was using his um- Erella so freely through the net or Jeans head when he and Williams were graphing in the corner of the rink.
 Benny Huck, the stalWart police l ,1t,,.,, L.f broke ono fans leg, trying 10 get him away from the Hartford cap tain. Jeans scalp may still be on his head but his cranium is certain ly sore after last night.
 Bob GrifCith5 came near taking a poke at Dyson last night The so- called "Hartford Flash" failed to sparkle fast night as the veteran New Britain center covered him like a wet blanket. Barney Doherty was his usual self last night. We believe that it is supcrhuous to say once again that Barney is the best halfback in the league. He proves this more and more in each game.
 When Referee Si Mcdonald an nounced that on Christmas after room New Britain would play in Hartford, a row of Hartford part sans in the gallery kept shouting Bring 'em on but when Si an nounccd that Hartford would return nere at nsht, tine Hartford row of rooters wasn't so hot about 1t.

 It certainly looked like old times last night. Fred Jean cant keep out of q scrap on the local floor and there will be plenty of excitement when he gets back here again next Wednesday night.

That was in the old days The Hartford Indian certain ly had his war bonnet dented last night.
