Rain again yesterday stopped all games In the Eastern league. Al- though in the early part of the sum- mer thers wasn't much rain to spoil the schedules of either the hig leagues or the Eastern circuit, the weather man is more than making up for it these days. We hear that the factories in the town are all het up over the indus. trlal track meet that is to Le run off at Memorial field In Willow Brook park on September 5. This {s as it should be and it is expected | that the first indusirial meet to he held at the new field will be one that will be a record breaker. For a long time hints have been passcd out in this column that a track and fleld meet should be held in this elty and we are glad that soma one hss taken it upon himself to start the ball arolling. Athletie representatives from the factories will gather in the “Herald” Monday night at 8 o'clock to talk over the details in connection with the proposed meet and at the meet- ing, soms conception of what the track meet will amount to will he secured when the representatives report on what they might do. Fac- tory officials are interested in this| sport as it is a great thing for the morals of their workmen i The offices of the factories in New Britain have a good supply of college men who should be able to make some marks in the city. Tt is #aid that the marks made at Memo- | rial field on September 5 will stand as records and that the meet will be an annual affair providing enough interest is shown in the coming events. It is reported that a num ber of athletes from the Stanley Works have already stated their in. tentions of training for the meet, whils Landers, Trary & Clark, one of the leaders fn athletics in the eity will also be represented in large numbers. A taature of the meet that will be qnteresting to many will be the open 100 yard dash with the champion- ship of the city at stake. This should bring in all the runners of the elty hecause nothing of the kind has heen attempted in the city in recent years, Reautiful silver cups will be avwarded to those coming fn first, second and third in the events and these are at the present time being engraved. They will be on exhibi tlon in Porter & Dyson's window in | & few days and those who plan to| take part in the meet may have a| éhance to view the prizes for which | they will try. ! i | This first industrial meet of the | eity will also have an added feature | in a one-mile relay closed to teams | from the factories, This will be| termed the “Hardware City Special” | and will start a precedent for o(l\nrs‘ to follow. Another attraction will the the 100 yard swim for women end this ought to bring out a er:b‘ number of mermaids who have besn @isporting at Willow Brook pool. | Interest in this section of the eountry is centered just now on the | championship bout between TLouis | (Kid) Kaplan of Meriden and Babe | Herman, Pacific coast battler.
