 The following Saturday, the New Britain team meets another tartar in the Lithuanians from Maspeth. 1 l.. I, On February 22. thc Brooklyn l Nisitations make a return appear | anco in this city On March 1. the ! Philadelphia Red Caps, sensational | colored quintet, returns here for it's | second game with the locals.
 This is an ambitious schedule for | any basketball team and the New | Britain quintet will have to be at its best 10 win any of thesc games. The | rl,
 day night against the Seneca lndi- ms but it is generally agreed that the players were only suffering from one Of those nights" that eventually | como 10 every good team.
 President A. W. Kcane Of the American Roller Hockey League evi- dcntly has only one worry and that is. that New Britain might win the second half championship of the { league and get into the playoff with
 Albany. winner Of the first half. His expressions ancnt the signing Of so many stars by the local club, bear this out without much question.
 He bcmoans the fact that New Britain has the highest paid club in inc circuit in fact, in the history Of the American League. We begin to wonder just what it is 10 President keAnc whether New Britain has a corner on the stars in the hockey league. We say that if the local man- aG"rS arc sports enough to go ahead and spend their money to get the strongest possible club together. then it is nobody's business but theirs.
 Every other manager in the < league has the chance to secure the best available players if he wishes to go out and invest for them. This is true in any line of sport. Because Jack and Frank Arute have the guts ] to take q sporting chance in an en- : dcavor to give New Britain a champ < ionship team. is that any reason for the president of the league to be- wall the fact? !.
 Just because Hartford has proved | to be such d poor sporting center / that 1t cannot keep even a roller hockey club. 10 say nothing of q bas kctDail team or any other kind of Il | club. that is no reason why Hartford | should kick because New Britain is {. ahead of il in every way. In sporting circles, New Britain is so far ahead Of the Capital City that one cant even sec Hartford for dust. The Hartford club transfers to Mcridcn V starting tomorrow night. S
 kcanc is worried about what will P be done to New Britain next fall when another season rolls around, The local club owners believe m '. jumping their fences when they come |; to them. They aren't interested right A now in next season, They want q |, winning team in this city and, as Jack Arutc" has said, he'll have winning combination here if he has z. to go broke to get one. Ir
 With Hartford losing it's team, it NJ looks as if those interested in the " roller hockey situation there, are bit pccved because New Britain goes on sercnely. No doubt sport promot- 1 CTS in Hartford arc cnvious Of the M way New Britain fans support sport L., projects hcrc. That's the explanation II Of the entire matter.
 President Keane tried to prevent J. 'Eed' Donnelly from coming 10 this t' city. He wanted to give him to AL p bany. He was prevented from doing j.. so because Donnelly had given his word to the local owners that he would play here. Maybe President r Ieanc is pceved because he has found G; one club that won't obey his orders. F. Just criticism was expressed by members of the Bridgeport Kacey cam last night when they complain - d of the condition of the basketball r. loop on the west side Of the state II trmory floor This has been defective | II since the beginning Of the season II md both inc visitors and the local II cams have had great difficulty in | making points because of it's Slanting II position. II, Last night the New Britain team II an wild in the first half and scored II many points through the netting Of II he east goal. At the samo time iL
