s pc ng of Sports

As was to be expected, there ere plenty of roller hockey fans who disagree with the Herald's selections Of all-star teams embracing the past season. We explained yesterday that our selections were only as good as our opinions of the various players and other fans arc entitled to their opinions of players and their worth to team.
 However. what we are now in terested in is the view of the fans of this city towards players who should be retained for the team next year. The Arute brothers, through their spokesman, Jack Arute, have asked the fans of the city to write in to the Herald their choices of players for the next year. Already several have named the players who ought 10 be retained and we will start printing these tomorrow.
 So wide and different arc the views of the fans with regard 10 .hc makeup of a polo team that many interesting combinations can be chosen in the minds oi the various pickers. Anyone interested in ex- pressing his or her views is invited 10 write in selections of players for he local team next year and these will all be printed and turned over to Manager Jack Arutc for possible use.
 This. it appears to us, is a wise way to go about getting a team hers that the fans of the city would like. After all. according to the way Jack Arute figures, it is the fans who support the team and they should have something to say about who they would like to sec on the team.
 Next season, it is cpccted, each team will be allowed to retain three players from the teams in existence today. Suggestions as to teams, should include three players of this years team. although this is not ab- solutcly necessary.
 A large number of New Britain fight fans attended the Britton- Schell bout in Hartford last night The exhibition of the veteran ring master. Brtton, was well worth the price of admission.
 Dritton spent the greater part of yesterday in this city renewing ac- quaintanccs about the town and looking the place of his former res ideace over. Johnny Glacliin. Plain vlle's leading theater manager, once a school mate of the former WelterwciSht champion, piloted him about to the places where the scenes were once familiar to the boxer.
 Other close friends of Britton met him and showed real pleasure in re- ncwing their acquaintance with him. He enjoyed his visit immensely while here and he paid q visit to the sports department of the Herald to pay his respects.
 Britton said that he has been ;ry- ing for the past five years to set away from the ring but his business ventures have been anything but successful and as the only thing he knows is fighting, he has to keep at the business to earn his livelihood. The way he acted last night. he has about Q moro good years left in his system.

 Forty new prison guards employed to augment the regular force joined the policemen.
