What would 2 New Britain | team be without him? Then an- | other report coming from New | Haven states that the same parties are trying to sign up “Big Boy"| Donlon of the Elm City. Nothing has been said by the men | who conducted the New Britain | team last year as to the prospects of | New Britain having a téam this vear, but we have heard that if Dr. David Waskowitz decides to with- draw from the fleld this year, sever- al others will come forth to conduct an All-New Britain team. | Just what Mulligan is seeking in | signing up pla rly date | and just what t} e significance of his | picking up Q".eil and Zehrer and, it reports are true, Humphrles and |5t Donlon, is, cannot be doped out in ! football circles in this city. | “Silent John"” Davis Is teaching in | the Lewis high school in Southing- ton and it is more than likely that he will be signed with the Mulligan | Blues this coming year. “Silent John” Is a good man on any fof .ball team. We have hegrd that O'Nell, the loeal boy, will be placed in center on the Blues this year. Gildea, the star ypon whom Mulligan depended so much last year, will not be with th: team again and O'Neil has been chosen to fill in his place. Let New Britain have the incom- parable Joe Rogers and Barnikow in the back field and the fans in this city will be willing to pit the local team against Hartford any day in the week. | We don't hear anything about tho “Four Horsemen” this season and | place our guess that high financing | is a thing of the past. There are | storfes belng passed about town as to the size of the contracts both | O'Nell and Zehrer have signed, but | the sums mentioned are hard to be- 1 e. Gly. New Britain the same line | that the team had last year with “Big BilI"” Warncr as a steady man. | Get us a real quarterback and fill | up the backfield around Barnikow | with four good running backs and | any team will have to travel at top | speed to beat us. The Burritts go to Cheshire today | to play the Connecticut Reforma- tory team of that town. Through a mistake printed in last night's ‘Herald” the date of the game was glven as Sunday. No Sunday base- | ball can be played in the reforma- tory and the game will be staged today instead. The Kensington baseball team | will leave from the T. A. B. hall in | Kensington tomorrow afternoon at | 1:15 o'clock for Merlden. The man- agement has arranged to have & | couple of buses there for the ac- | commodations of any fans who wish to accompany the team and see the game. Anyone wishing to see the ! game and make the trip can be at the Tabs' rooms at the stipulated time. Games Today New York at Detroit. Philadelphia at Chicago. Washington at Cleveland.

The Falcons will use their regular lineup with either B. Kania or Cleary on the mound. Well, the Hartford Senators drop- ped another game at Clarkin fleld vesterday, the New Haven Profs | coming out on the long end of a 2 to i 1 count. Harry Heitman, generally regarded as Hartford's surest hitter and most valuable player, warmed | up the pitchers and sat on the bench | while “Cowboy” Jones, who replac- ed him in right fleld, let an easy | grounder trickle through his legs| while the winning run scored from first base, At bat, Jones once stood | with his bat on his shoulder while a perfect third strike whizzed in. Of course, nobody has any way of knowing whether Heitman would have let the grounder roll through him as Jones did, but never having seen him commit an error at a criti- cal time, we believe he would have at least stopped the ball and pre- vented the run. As Pat Loftus, New Haven flinger mowed down the home gang with monotonous regularity by making them hit easy files to the outfleld, the fans called for Heitman. “Put Harry in and et us see some hit- ting,” they cried. Joe Morrissey, the new outfielder, formerly with Holy Cross, whacked out a solid double and a single in yesterday's game. He took care of “his territory in center field, having no difficult chances. Al White, who was recently let out by Springfleld, was at second base for Hartford. He did not hit safely, but flelded his position without a slip. He was a home run hitter early in the season, and the Hartford fans are hoping he will hit a few again, as they cer- tainly would help.

New York, Aug. 7 (Pl—Ace Hud- kins of Nebraska and Stanislaus Loayza of Chile are deadolcked in their efforts to gain honors in the rightweight division. Thelr 12 round contest at the Coney Isalnd stadium here last night was declared a draw after a toe-to-toe combat that saw the Chilean lead through the first half of the contest only to have Hudkins finish furiously. Many of the ex- Perts conceded the westerner seven of the rounds. Hudkins' final drive was effective and several times he had the South American in trouble, but Loayza, the “Jaguar,” fought bitterly to the end. The decision was booed by a large crowd.
