Speaking of Sports Baseball fans in this city as well as in Hartford will be gratified to hear that Leo Durocher, star short- atop of the Hartford baseba team, has been sold to the New York Yankees and he will report to the big league team at the end of th present season. Those fans of .this city who have seen the Hartford team in action, have marvelled at the play of the Epringfield boy at the short station, and it was only because of his weakness at the bat that he didn't seem to have a chance 1o go Digher No doubt when he arrives in the big company, the coaclies there will take him under thelr wing and give him a stance at the plate that will result in buse hits, Although the purchase price paid for Durocher was not stated, Owner Jim Clarkin of the team is quoted &s sayving that the price recejved for Durocher is the largest he has ever received for any player. The shortstop is only 19 years of age and all lovers of baseball will be pulling for him when he takes the big step. Congratulutions are in order for the boy. will e date on which Connecticut boxing fans will be watching for another champion- ship to come to the Nutmeg state.

The report is that “Chucky” would not be gracing the bench in Hartford, if someone would pay a good price for him. Hartford picked Wojak up for nothing, he has been under a man- ager who won't give him a fair chance to show his wares, and still, he can't get his release to play en another Fastern League club. The owners of the clyb would rather get & fat purse for him than allew him to play en another team where he could play ball and net always be under a cloud. EASTERN LEAGUE Pittsficld—Worcester.
