MoAloon, of; o The 1921 season which has just been brought to a close by the St. Mary's Parochial school baseball team, was one of the most successful in thae his- of teams representing , the club having won 26 and lost but five games during the year. The team finished second place in the school league, and had the distinc- tion of being the only team to defeat the Grammar School nine. On Labor Day, the Oriole Juniors of Hartford, who claimed the championship of that city, having won 24 out o! 27 games, was vanquished by the locals, score 12 to 1. For many years fast teams were turned out at St. Mary's school and annually the club clashed with the nine representing St. Rose's school of Meriden. Games were also played with local school teams. After an absence from the diamond of a few years, Rev. William A. Downey organized and coached a squad last year which made a very creditable showing. This year's squad came through the season with even a better slate after meeting some of the best junior aggregations in this locality.

Philadelphia, Sept. 16.—In a wan- ing tennis season, plana are already being made for both national and in- ternational play next year. Whila offi- ciale of the U. 8. Lawn Tennis asso- ciation are not yet in a position to an- nounce fixed program, it is known that there will be another season of “bril- liant play between American and for- eign racquet stars in 1922. Among the nations from which Davis cup challenges are virtually conceded next March are Australia, South Africa, Japan, France, Canada and Belgium. With easier financial conditions, it is not unlikely that several other Euro- pean and far ecastern countries will also enter teams for the international court trophy. From the present viewpoint, tha Australian combination appears to be the most formidable for it is known that the Antipodean association plans to send Norman Brookes, Gerald Pat- terson, James Anderson and O'Hara- Wood in quest of the cup. Brookes and O'Hara-Wood are expected to pair in the doubles, while the burden of the singles will fall upon Anderson and Patterson. Japan will return Kumagae and Shimidzu as the basis of its team. From South Africa will come Norton, Blackbeard and one other player, while England is likely to send Lowe, Woosnam and two other contestants to be selected from the younger gene- ration of British Isles tennis stars. Against the foreign invasion which expected to play both in the Davis Cup preliminaries here and the 1922 national championship tournament, the United States may have to secure, at least cne additional cup defender. The most logical candidate at present is Vincent Richards, but the Yonkers youth: is still growing, having added an inch and a half in length this year. He lacks the physical stamina to play gruelling tennis of the international standard, but another 12 months may rectify thia handicap.

Two separate teams are to b¢ placed in the fleld this year by the Trojans. One squad will average 125 pounds and the other 150 pounds. The manage- ment, backed by the club, has made arrangements for uniforming and equipping both squads. As soon as a program of preliminary training is completed, the teams will be in the field for games. On Sunday afternoon, the . Sham- rocks are scheduled to open their' season, stacking up against a fast Plainville club. Practices are being held regularly this week in prepara- tion for the opener.

The club made an excellent showing last season. 2o Manager George Scheyd of the Red- lands has his charges ready for the referee’s whistle and is busily compi}- ing a schedule of games.
