When men consider- ed Nt to restrain crowds in minia- tura riots or the like turn around and pull the trick themaselves, the yeal undxpected we often read about really happens. And then, again, anybody would be apt to do the same thing as they in a similar sitvation. Even the coolest heads turn unaccountably hot in moments of strass and boyish pranks of assaulting the umplre and \ling each other names are in the back part of any matured brain- ready to be marshalled out when “needed.” As there is a good deal in that, the actions of the coppers might be excused somewhat but all of them should have known better. What constituted the greatest sur- prise to us lay in the fact that Lefty Palmer was the higgest offender of the aftsrnoon. Lefty, whom we class as a friend of ours, is a real likeable fellow when well-known and is generally eelf-restrained, guiet | and unassuming, The New Rrifain cops are due to stand most of the hlame for the un fortinate affair, collectively. They started most of the rumpus all aft- ernoon, piled the crowd down on the field in the seventh while protesting an umpire's decision, and finally fin- spanked children after the near-fight in the ninth. Then some of them had the gumption to back up their position At the banquet following the game— their chief even stating publicly that “New Britain couldn’t beat 11 men." Mayor King and a fow of the fair- minded New Britain officials had the vight dope in mind when they spoke of dropping the whole affair and starting in all over again on a friend- ship hasis. “Teo many real ball play- ers are spoilng the games, Geot $10.00 in Merchan our service station, 39 WASHINGTON Balloon? torist who guesses correctly the height of the Goodyear Balloon now floating over 0'Neil Tire & Battery Co. ] HERALD, FRIDAY, AU have some the | replete game and you'l real sport and amusement for fans,” said the mayors and several others and they were cheered to the eohoe, Bounds like the right selu tion, Speaking of the mayor, mebbe he A1dn't have plenty of stuff on that twister he served up for the first hall of the game, Joe Feeney, heary hitting outfielder of the New ritain team, missed the curve by fully four feet | BRENNAN STGNS UP IN ERIDEN ‘Former All-Hartlord Quarter- | back o Direct Gridders Meriden, Aug. 20.~Another moles | skin warrior stands ready to tote the |old plgskin for Floyd Boardman's ‘thn‘o National Guard eleven fol- night when Jimmy Brennan, heady and gifted quarterback of the All-Hart fords for the past three measons, was signed to demonstrate the the- ory of mind over matter for the Al den outfit-to-be, | Bonrdman' slatest acquisition to Ihis now complete backfield s a | mighty good one.
