New Britain has earned the title of the jonah team" on the road in the roller hockey league The local crew, playing it's heart out in battles in various cities in the cir cult, has been meeting the bumps in plenty. In and out goals one night, a badly rolling ball another and several other things have en- tered into the picture to prevent the local team from keeping its place near the top of the league.
 With the chance last night to go into first place, because of the de- feat of the Amsterdam team by Cohoes, New Britain was defeated by Albany and instead of going into the lead. the team now rests in third place.
 So much has been said about the probable fistiCuffs that will be seen at the Stanley arena tonight when Hartford inyades this city, that the managers of both teams have cau- toned their respective charges about the necessity of playing polo instead of doing an, Art Shires" on the floor.
 There are many who like the cx- ctcment of q battle of fists, but there are plenty of other fans who decry the fights. Many have become disgusted because of the flying fists displayed in almost every game be- tween New Britain and Hartford and they have threatened to stop patronizing the games. These re- ports have led the managers to lay down the law 10 the players regard ing the use of fists and fighting.
 We came across an interesting item in a New York Herald Tribune Of recent date recounting an item of the days when Bill Walsh was the outstanding baseball pitcher for the Fordham university base ball nine.
 The item, written by W. E. Han na follows:
 Ran into Dr. k. D. Beck the | other day, Dr. Beck pitched for Columbia in 1915, which was a great year for the Blue and White | on the diamond. What games they | lost you could count on the fingers l Of one hand. But they lost to Ford | ham and Dr. Beck tells q story of | that game. the point of which is | that knowing the other fellows sig 1 nals doesn't necessarily amount to | much.
 We knew their signals said |. Dr, Beck, and they knew we knew them, but they were beating IFS just | the same, and handily. Knees to- gcther by the catcher meant a fast | ball, knees apart curve. l was at | bat and I got the sign, knees to- scthcr--a fast ball.
