But only new and then a real good team is formed. The Columbias who took the Junior City championship at St. Mary's field three years ago have now formed for the season of 1923, and they are not » |juniors now but real young players. It it could be remembered what they did in 1920 when they walloped all comers, one would take interest in the fast nine this year. The Columbias are back once more but with stronger and more experienced men. Their first meeting was held on the first of this month. The captain and manager were elected. Ben Huck, who has put in a wonderful season in basketball this year with the Cres- cents of the local Boys' club, has been chosen by his mates to lead the Col- umbias this year in baseball. Harry Schact is the manager. Art Pilz handed out the medals to the Columbias three years ago. Then {the players scattered about with va- rious athletic clubs. So after gath- ering together they decided to organ- ize once more and show the local fans what they will do this year in the 16-17 year old class. This Sunday they will battle with |the Cubs. The latter are boys who | have played with teams like the St. Thomas seminary of Hartford and the St. Mary's nine of this city. The bat- |tel will be a good one and St. Mary's |fleld will be the arena. | It did not take long for the man- |agement of the Columbias to obtain | .286 | games for they have the next ten days | | full. Nevertheless the Columbias | would appreciate challenges and they | will be answered promptly if address- {ed to Harry Schact, manager, Talcott | street, City. H. §. VS.

H. 8. | baseball team in preparation for the | coming game with the Gilbert High school of Winsted was held on the | Walnut Hill diamond after school this |afternoon. In the future the team will practice four nizhts a week and rest the day before the game. Re- | ports from the town of more fancies than facts have it that the upstaters |are out to take the measure of the | Red and Gold team. The team has been working hard to correct the faults that handicapped them in the opening game. pected that the team will work much better with a week's practice togeth- ler. The team that defeated South Manchestsr had not worked together bfere. The team that will start the game tomorrow will have all the ad- vantages of team play. Clayton Gray, veteran of last sea- son, may pitch tomorrow. To date it |is unknown whether or not the boy [from the upper section of the New England states will be eligible to play. It is expected that he will get the as- signment if he is eligible, “Jackie” Conlin will pitch if Gray is ineligible. The rest of the lineup will be: Neipp, catch; Beagle, 1st; Kania, 2nd; | Reynolds, ss; Hjerpe, 3rd; Weir, If; |Grip, ef; and Watson, rf The Yale-Amherst game yesterday was awful.

Then one bad fight spoiled the big opportunity. Gibbons was matched to meet Har- ry Greb at Madison Square Garden. | The two had met before and there was little to choose between them. however, had been making such an impressive showing that it was belleved he would have no trouble with the much lighter Greb. | The result of the meeting was qul'ei to the contrary.

All of the 3000 fans who flocked to the American League park to join Ban! Johnson, president of the American League, and Secretary Denby in hon- oring Scott, knew he had already par- ticipated in 999 straight games.

Gibbons certainly wasn't himself | that evening, while Greb was in un-| usually good form.
