Hartford, March 5,--Jack Britton former worlds welterweight cham pion, who fights Ali Schell, German welterweight champion, In the star bout at Foot Guard hall Thursday night, worked out yesterday at the St. Nicholas gym here. Jack ar rived in Hartford Tuesday morning to wind up his training.
 He showed in his initial workout at the local gymnasium that he is still the master workman of old: Of course. time has taken some toll. Britton now being past forty, but it has not robbed the great veteran of his remarkable boxing skill.
 Britton's real age is somewhat of a mystery; like Mike McTiguc, he contents himself with saying I'm past forty" Prima donnas hide their real age from the critical public, 50 noted fighters can hardly be blamed for a like gesture.
 It is remarkable that 2, man of Brittons age can get in their against tough and promising youngsters and 1 hold his own; yet, beat those young sters with their edge in youth strength and punching power. Schell will have all that on Brit ton as veteran and youngster squar2 off under the calcium lights at Foot Guard hall tomorrow night. The Ger man is big and strong and hits with terrific force. He sent Billy Taylor of Hartford out of the fighting game last summer at Waterbury when he hit the Capital City welterweight so hard that a double fracture of the jaw resulted. Then on the last card at Foot Guard hall, Schell won on a technical knockout over the rugged Johnny Walker of Boston.
 Britton has to fight more now in ring engagements than he did when he was in the heyday; his footwork | is not as agile as it was when Jack was at the peak and he has 10 stand right in and battle.
 Schell knows that and it is the reason he is picking himself winner on a kayo over the veteran.

The "burlap anvil chorus the boys who charge George Washington with framing the crossing of the Delaware to get more cash custom CTS at the surrender of Cornwailis, are taking it on the button in plenty today. This is as result of the roller hockey series that came to a close last night, All season long, the chorus. of "in the bag has been waiting to make it's annual predic- tions concerning the playoff, but now the world is upside down as far as these gentlemen arc concern ed. The series was won by Albany in four straight games.

pionship by taking the fourth straight game at the Stanley Arena last night. There is only an echo of the bag business" about the circuit today.
 We are disappointed that New Britain didn't win the series. That is natural. So are many of the fans who attended the games regularly at the Stanley Aren during the sea- son. The most disconsolate of these are the Arute brothers, who made a noble attempt to bring New Britain fits first championship. They have the consolation of knowing that the fans in this town appreciate their efforts.
 However, we have the consolation of knowing that the team that play ed the better game. won the series. We believe that the four straight victories of the Albany club will do more for the game itself than any thing else. It is the best proof pos sible that there was nothing phony about this years series, no matter what may be thought about those that have gone before.
 Owner Jack Arute has started planning already for the next sea- son. He plans to get a strong club together at the opening of play and keep"it together for the season. He is determined that he will profit by the mistakes made this year and there isn't any doubt but that plenty of these were made.
 The roller hockey season here was, a success, despite the fact that the local team was defeated in the final series. The fans supported the game right to the last and it is al- most a certainty that they will be awaiting the opening of the cam paign next season with interest un- Ginlmed by the results of the year just finished.

The repetition of the "in the bag" charges came with such a monot- onous regularity that near the end Of the season, no one was paying any attention to them. However, it took this years series to put q con- vincing argument in the hands of those men who think that roller hockey is on the level.
