Speak ng of Sports

The Bridgeport Roller Hockey club can be considered among the most hard-luck teams in the Amer lcan league at the present time. With four in and out goals last night, the team has made total of 16 of these in it's last four games. This makes an average of four goals that went in and came out in its last quartet of contests.
 Last nights game between New Britain and Bridgeport was one of the prettiest spectacles from the standpoint of real polo playing. The local team has all of the earmarks of a championship outfit. All of the players are just about rounding into the form they should have to be at their best and the work Of the team, it's coordination on the floor brands It as one of the top-notch quintets in the league.
 The second half of the playing season opens next Sunday afternoon. All the teams will start off with clean slate for the second round of the schedule. We warn all the other members of the American league, barring accidents which might occur at any time, to watch out for New Britain. The local team is out to win it's first championship.
 Kid" Williams furnishes a thrill every time he drives, whether he gets goal or not. In comparison with the other hard hittcrs in the league, Williams is far and ahead of them all. He takes only a half swing but he has the knack Of hit ting the ball just right and when he hits 'em they travel without any mistake.
 Spectators behind Jimmy Purcell last night after he had stopped seV- cral of these drives, remarked they wouldn't be a goal tender for the best money in the league. Them's our sentiments.
 Joe Brennan and his Brooklyn Nisitations are coming here Satur- day night. For time that is literal ly saturated with basketball class the Nisitations probably top all others that appear here during the course of season. Just to watch the Nistatons in action is q real treat for lovers of basketball.
