MAJORS HAVE B|G
 MARGIN 0N BLUES
First Downs Few as Locals Lose
 in South Manchester

CTS for the New Britain Blues, and the Majors were but one up on the tossers from New Britain in Man chester yesterday afternoon, but when the Silk City aggregation scored four touchdowns to none for the Blues the aspect was complete ly changed. The Hardware boys could not cross the opponents final chalk mark, and while this vain at- tempt was taking place the Majors were winning by the margin of four touchdowns and one extra point, 25 to 0. The one-sided aspect of the game might have been lessened somewhat if two touchdowns had not been made in the final two min utes of play. Possibly the local boys became somewhat discouraged as the game drew to a close. Anyway, passes were worked in both the order and reverse order of things and the score went from 12 to twice that and one better.
 The first touchdown came in the first part of the opening quarter as an indirect result of a blocked kick which rolled out of the playing field at the two yard mark. The Majors tried two attempts at the center of the line but failed. However, on the third try Moske went over for the first score.
 The only other touchdown of the first half came after Fioli had run a kick from the center to the 20 yard line. Incidentally Fioli star red, breaking through the line and around the ends for long gains He came all the way from Rhode 1s- land to do it, but from the from the spectators viewpoint it was worth all the bother. After several short gains, Moske went over the line for his second touchdown.
 Defensive Battle
 After the intermission. the Ma jors went to work again but did not have as much success as in the first period. Their offense was complete ly stopped by fine defensive work on the part of the Hardware City out fit. Any offensive action which the Blues started was quickly checked mainly because of the failure of the backfeld men to hold on to the pig skin. The Blues took to the air on frequent intervals but failed to show any startling gains along this line. The teams played on even terms un- til the final two minutes of play, began to click. A pass nabbed by Nero gave the Majors the first score of the final half. Soon after a pass worked in reverse order. Tasker took a pass supposed to be directed to Negrini, Blue end, and raced for a touchdown unhampered. The last touchdown came in the final sec onds of play. The outstanding players for the winners were Fioli and Moske. Mid dleton and Kayeski were the only local players who showed more than ordinary ability.
