BRISTOL HIGH WINS
 4TH CHAMPIONSHIP
Noses Out Meriden by 24-22 in
 Hectic Encounter
Special to the TIerald)

Bristol. Mar. IA crowd of D. 500 persons, one Of the largest ever to attend a basketball game in this city, watched Bristol High sch ool's basketball team eke out a A to 22 win over the Meriden High school quintet at the state armory on Gen. ter street last night. The Bell City i've launched furious attack in the third quarter which virtually sewed up the contest. Ben Allaire, chosen by many sports writers and critics as the finest all-around high school athlete in the state. led the offense of the winners with a trio of baskets and four successful foul tries for 10 points.
 Allaire started off the tilt by sinking a tWo-pointer from side court. but Tomkievicz, who starred for the losers, matched the shot with one for his team. The game proceeded smoothly with neither contingent doing any great scoring and Meriden led at the quarter mark, to 5. The home club ac- cumulated speed in the second sc- mester and ran up q 13 to 10 lead by half time. Bristol then played rings around the visitors and sue ceeded in pilins up sizabe lead by the finish of the third quarter.
 One of the greatest blows to the Earnlkowmen came in the first part Of the game when Sammy Orent- lcherman. the short player with the long name, was cvicted via the per sonal foul route. As the battle wore on. other Meriden courtmen were put out on fouls and of all the starting team only Tomkievicz re- mained at the final toot of Referee Coogans whistle. The others were second strinGers but gave better account of themselves than did the regulars. The reserves. led by Cap tain TomkieVicz. chopped down an enemy lead and came within two points of tying the score at 24-all.
 Captain Eddie White of the Monahan outfit played a wonderful game defensively but failed to ac- complish anything in the line of scoring himself. Andy Palau. one of the most promising baseball catch CTS ever seen in local school ranks and a fine basketball player, tallcd four points, pair of baskets gar nered by following up his mates shots, for the evenings work. The local squad. as | whole. appeared to be little off color last night al though it defeated the Meridentes Louie La Ponte. the diminutivc Bris- tol left forward, was runner-up 10 Allaire in the matter of points scored. He tossed in a double decker and marked up three foul pops for total of five points.

 Following Thursday nights game in which New Britain lost despite the fact that the team was leading with only four minutes to go by the score of to 8, the Panthers are fighting mad. They see the chances of winning the title slowly slipping away and unless they can score a victory tomorrow afternoon, only one game will stand between them and absolute defeat

 The summary;

the razzberries he was receiving from the fans, out on the team and this caused him, more than anything else, to call fouls on New Britain when things were at critical stage.
 A large crowd of New Britain hoc- key fans is going to be on hand in Albany tomorrow afternoon. Those wishing to hit the Albany rink with the least possible delay. are caution- ed to follow the Troy road out of Albany and they will come right 10 the Montgomery Ward building. The hall is right in that vicinity.
 The New Britain players are all in good trim for a fierce battle to morrow afternoon. The Partners want to win because they feel that a victory in Albany would instill them with a confidence that would enable them to win two straight from Albany.
 The fourth game of the series will be played in this city Tuesday night instead of on Monday. This will give the players a rest from hard game in Albany and will enable them to give their best in what might or might not be the last game of the strIes.

s pc a king of Sports

Si Mcdonald. roller hockey ref cree, is quoted in this mornings pa per as declaring that he would never referee another game in this city because of the unsportsmanlike at titude of the fans here. That makes 1t unanimous.
 Fasce, the official who has been handling the games in New York state and by whom all the players swear as the best referee in the game, will handle the fourth contest in this city Tuesday night Fasce is the man who went to the mat with Fred Jean in a game played in AL hany during the past season and for 1eited contest to Albany over the action. He makes no mistakes when ie calls violations, according to the players. In oth,r words. he calls them as he secs them and he sees almost everything.
 Off the floor, one couldn't find a better fellow than Si Mcdonald. On the floor, some times his work is of high order while at other times it is very poor. Thursday night, he was far below standard and we still be- lleve that he was taking a peeve against the fans out on the local team. However, it is past history now.
 He declares that he will report the failure of the policemen at the arena to eject a spectator at his or ders, to Chief William C. Hart If he docs, we arc afraid that his con- plaint won't be taken very seriously. Sergeant John c. Stadler happened to be on duty that night and he was present in the hall while the fracas was going on. He refused to remove the spectator.
 We do not know who the man was, but those around him claim that he was not guilty of using the language that Referee Mcdonald claimed he did. He was with his wife and two children and another woman was there. It doesn't seem probable that he would have said the things although there might have been others who called names during the heat of excitement.
 But, as Dick Donnelly stated yes terday if, when he was playing against New Britain, the police were 10 eject everyone from the hall who had called him names not in the dictionary. there wouldn't be any body at the games in which he played.
 New Britain is a hotbed for royal and loyal fans and they certainly can become burned up when things don't go their way. Plenty can be said against them but there is much than can be said for them and their good points so far outweigh their faults that this city has become the best sporting center in the state.
 In the final analysis it is the man who pays his way in at the box office who keeps the sport alive and players and officials alike should re- member this. We figure that Referee McDonald's action was little too nasty. Probably he figures things the other way.
