Roller Hockey Game at Arcade Tonight
With the Palace pro courtmen not scheduled to use the Arcade until tomorrow night, a roller hockey game has been booked for tonight at 9:30 o'clock, when the Washington team will meet an all-star combination from Baltimore. Skating will be permitted both before and after the game.
If local fans show enough interest in the roller skating sport, the Arcade management plans to bring some of the best teams in the country here.
