Game Called at 2:30 p. m. At Walnut Hill Park— Locals Won First Clash With Silver Cityites. The first game in the Vocational School league to be played in New Britain will take place at Walnut Hill park, Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, daylight saving time. The Meriden Trade school will furnish the opposition for the lgcal apprentices. Two weeks ago thel same teams clashed in the Silyer city and the Hardware boys were returned win- ners by a 19 to 0 score. Reports from the Silver City 'say that this game was the turning point for the Meriden boys and since that time they have displayed a stellar brand of the national pastime. The locals have been putting in some hard ses- sions and are out to prove their for- mer victory was not a fluke. They realize, however, that only a bigh class performance will return them victorious. The infield will in all probability line up as follows: An- derson, first base; E. Anderson, sec- ond base; Kulikowski, shortstop, and Fusari third base, while the outer garden patrol will consist of Snosko, left fizld; Herold, center field, and Vance, right field, Vettorello, who held Meriden to two hits in the pre- vious game will probably shoulder the pitching burden again. There {s, however, a possibility of Tolli, a | southpaw, starting on the rubber as | he is anxious to show his ability. As ugual Miller, the fiery backstop, will don the mask and protector. The | locals will step to the plate in the fol- | lowing order: Vetorello, pitch; | Fusari, third base; E. Ahderson, sec- | ond base; Herold, center field; An- derson, first base: Znosko, left field; Vance, right field; Kulikowski, short- | stop, and Miller catch. This order | has produced good results and much is expected JThursday. “Mike” Lynch will call the plays g0 a square deal | will be in order for everyone. The | iocals are tuning up for their game 20th. The S8ilk city trade achool has a good record and the locals realize they must he on their toes to de- feat them. School spirit is running | high ,and it is expected that nearly {the whole student body will attend both the games at Walnut Hill and | the one in South Manchester. | {Pitcher Played Scveral Games With Arm Broken | | Baltimore, June 20.—Jean Dubue, | piteher and outfielder of the Syracuse International clubs and former major | the Detroit téeam.

But that's all wrong. The truth is Gibbons has one inch longer reach than the champion and right now he is as heavy if not a bit heavier than Dempsey. Broadcast placards showing meas- urements of the two give figures {ndi- cating Dempsey's reach is two inches greater than Gibbons'. But they, too, are all wrong.

Earl Thomson is the former Dartmouth hurdler, one of the greatest athletes ever turned out from the Green Mountain college and holds the intercollegiate-record for the 120- yard hurdles of 14 2-5 seconds.

Although not yet a week old, the City League is already beset with all the troubles that handicap a Ran Johnson, in fact, the troubles that now face the league are discouraging from the very start. At a meeting of the league council last night, officials an- nounced today, it was decided to permit the Stanley Works team to withdraw from the league, In view of the withdrawal of this team, the game which the Rangers won from them last Thursday night has been ordered stricken out, Another team is to be secur- ed to take the place of the Stanley Works and it was thought that Landers might be accepted, but as no representative was present last night no action on filling the vacancy was taken, Still another difference was aired when the Dragons officially protested the game with the Berlin Construction team last Satur- day, which the Berlin boys won 17 to 2. 1t is said by league offi- cials that the Dragons claim Werdelein, the Berlin captain, was not eligible to play and therefore the game should not stand. More trouble loomed on the league horizon when the Dragons and Fafnirs, who are scheduled to play at Walnut Hill July 4, served notice that they do not intend to play, ’lyark on hey re- port that inasmuch as it is a holiday they will be unable to have |the services of all of their players and therefore cannot play. The Pirates-Independents game scheduled for the Fourth still stands, however. Tomorrow night the Independents clash with St. Mary's at 6:30 p. m. at Walnut Hill.
