Speaking of Sports sty ‘With the city tennis championship starting off today, the Boys' league champlonship decided yesterday, New Britain winning the state title in the Legion baseball league and the Fale playing Kensington again_tomorrow, sport fans in this city have certainly enough to oc- cupy their attention over the week- end. A few of the rules governing the playoff of the first round in the tennis championship are given as | follows: All games in the first round must be finished by Monday, Augus 31. Games may be played on any courts agreeable to both players. The New Britain Tennis club courts may be used and umpires for the games will be furnished upon appli- cation to the club. Reservatipns must be made of club courts for games through W. H. Van Oppen, Telephone 345. The eight seeded played in the eingles are A. Benson, Dressel, Kron, Bassette, E. Benson, Kirkham, R. Lienhardt and Christensen. | The Eddy-Glover post team cer- tainly came through in great style to win the state champlonship in the Legion Baseball league yester- | day afternoon. The New Haven | team will be about as strong an ag- gregation as the locals will meet | while they play this year and a vic- tory over them, is a great step to- wards the national championship. The team meets the Bristol, R. L team next Saturday in the first game of a home home series.
