FOUR H. S, SUADS ARE IN TRAINING Baseball, Football, Track and Tennis Men Limbering Up Daily Athletic activities at the High school are in for one of the busiest| seasons of the year. No less than four | teams are practising almost daily in preparation for their respective sea- | sons. The track team is under the coaching of Willlam F. Delaney. The | baseball team, which is under the di- rection of Coach Cassidy, is starting to show good form. The tennis team, | which is being coached by Robert Goff, is also going along fairly well, although several of the veterans have left school. For the second time fin the history of the school, the football squad will have spring training.

This is the largest squad out for any of the teams. Coach De- | laney expects to weld the squad into a successful team. With several vet-| erans to form the nucleus of his team, | there is every chance that he will| make his job a success. Several imen showed up«well in the first outdoor practice of the season at the New Britain Machine company track on South Main street. "Bill” Kiniry, Abe | Finklestein, Howard Linton and “Bob" Kiniry are sctting the pace for | all the candidates for the 100 yard| dash, “Battler” Murtha and Gilbert Chambers are the leading 220 yard, men, while Captain “Charley” Quig-| ley, “Duke” McCabe and “Clancy”| Bell are ahead of the other men at the quarter mile. “Billy"” MeCabe will cast his lot with the track team this spring. It was rumored that Coach Cassidy of the baseball team was after the services of next yrar‘ni football captain to play the outfield for the baseball "team, but “Sock" states that his speed would be wasted | on the diamond . | “Duke” Quits Diamond “Duke” McCahe, veteran of iast year on the baseball team, has decid- ed to quit the diamond to join the track squad. He will be sorely miss- ed for he was not only a good infield- c¢r but a finished outfielder as well. With “Duke” gone the outfield sit- uation will be worse than it was be- fore. The only hope is to find a “dark horse” among some of the 25 players who are trying for the team. The in- field is pretty well settled with the exception of second base. There are geveral recruits hattling for the posi- tion. At present it seems to be a toss up hetween three candidates, Watson, | Kania and Taylor are showing up well for the position. The rest of the in- field probably will be as follows: rather a slow starter in the spring, the White Sox for an average of .680. got 14 hits in 17 times at bat for an Forty-three thousand is the record distribution of play-by-play accouni. of important games by wireless makes| aouncement of each play of the game, the possible attendance at any game at least 10,000,000, radio taken major league baseball to the distant farm, ranch and mountain Young fans and old fans, lis- tening in at their receiving sets, will figure for attendance at a major league baseball game.

The officials of the Southington A. C., under whose auspices the bouts + are heing staged for the benefit of the Southington Public Heslth assocla- tion, have announced that the seven bouts will be arranged so that each pair of mittsters will face each other | for the three minute rounds. In the | event that the referee decides that | the match is a draw at the end of the | third round, the contestants will cons tinue the milling for another round. | This means that the fans' who will at- | tend the show will see at least 21 and | probably 28 rounds of good figting. | All Well Known. The merits of some of the individ- ual boxers who will appear in the | Mountain Town Friday night have been known to a large number of the followers of the amateur matches for some time. Bill Cunningham of Southington recently fought in New Haven and after four gruelling rounds he was given the newspaper decision for a win, although the referee decid- ed against him. The bout was for the featherweight champfonship of the state, and since then the Southington boy has earned the sobriquet of the “Southington I'lash.” Joe Banack, who hails fom Wal- lingford, will be seen Friday night in his last go as an amateur.. He is booked to retire from the amateur class and will enter the professional ranks in the next few weeks fighting under the colors of the Meriden A, C. He will stack up against Kid Chaney of Meriden, and these two are said to be two of the toughest welterweights in the amateur ranks of Connecticut. Two coming stars who will be seen on the stage will be John Pilkington of Meriden, brother of Charlie, and Young Kaplan, brother of the Silver City’s pride, Kid Kaplan. The ad- vance dope of these two has it that, although they are appearing .in two different bouts and are not to be op- ponents of each other, they will give a good account of themselves. Both have been carefully tutored under the watchful eyes of their respective brothers, and as both Charley Pilk- ington and Kid Kaplan are known throughout this section of the coun- try, they should be able to give some good pointers to the youngsters. Kid Kaplan will have some time in the role of referee. This, as far as is known, is the first time that the kid has been the third man in the ring, and the fans are now wondering if there will be a family row in case that he decides against his brother.
