NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD TUESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1926 Speaking : of Sports Qo e The Eddy-Glover post baseball 1~eam. champlons of the state of Connscticut, will practice tonight at 6 o'clock 8t Walnut Hill park. The team la scheduled to meet the Bris- tol, R. L, team either this week or next and Coach Larry Mangan wants the boys to get all the prac- tice in this week that is possible. Manager Howard Timbrell is await- ing word from Reglonal Director Roy E. Rice of Waterbury as to Where the first game will be played and arrangements will probably be made to bring the Rhode Island team hers next Saturday. Joe Ring, last year's captain of the Hartford High school football team and rated as one of the best ends ever to have worn the blue and white of that school, will enter Niagara University in Niagara Falls, N. Y., next Saturday. Joe plans to keep up his active campaign in ath- letics and his friends are expecting to hear much of him in the coming vears, Tonight at 6 o'clock at Willow Brook park, the Stanley Rule & Level team will play the P. & F. Corbin outfit in a postponed game. This contest was originally scheduled to be played on July 31 but was called off and arrangements were made to play it last Tuesday eve- ning. It rained then and the game is set for tonight The Btanley Rule will also play the New Britaln Machine Co. team at Willow Brook park Thursday eve- ning at 6 a'clock. This game was scheduled for August 21 and was called off because of the inability of the Newmantics to get their team together, With these two games off their chests, it will leave the Stanley Rule & Level team.with two postponed games, the Landers and Fafnir games. The game with Landers | will be played probably on Satur- day afternoon and if this is the date set, the fans will flock out to see tha teams battle because of the im- | portance of the game. A win for | for first place with the Universals. | the Stanley Rule will mean a tie | The date for the Fafnir game has not yet been set, but it is expected that the managers wjll get together | and play this game off very soon. | R. & E. has two games to play off. One is against Corbins and the other against the Stanley Works. No dates have yet been set for these two contests. Managers John Tobin and Joe Veniskl will probably come to some | agreement regarding & series be- | tween their two teams, Friday night. Both met wit representatives of their clubs in attendance, in the| “Herald” ofice last night and talked matters over. It will be difficult for the teams to find dates on which to play | thelr games, but the feeling is that | Saturday would be as good as Sun- day for the games to be staged | We feel that the managers have come to the concluslon after all the talk that is going on about town, that there isn't any use in keeping | away from the baseball public what | it wants because of technicalities. When the arguments against the two teams playing are considered, one can readily see that the reason | the serfes is not being played is be- | cause of a technicality, namely, | whether the Corbin Red Sox should | receive as much money as a home team. - Some may think that the Red Sox should not receive as much as the home club and others may think | just the opposite, but the fans of the city are not Interested in this phase | of the game but they are solely in- | terested in seeing the two teams clash on the diamond. | | We don't care to express an opin- | ion on the matter at all, preferring | like the :najor portion of the fans, to let the team managers battle this out among themselves. We hops, for the sake of baseball in this city, that the two teams will get together because constant bickering and petty arguing doesn't do the situa- | tion any good. Those who have been connected | with baseball during the last 10 or 15 years know only too well that the game has never paid either mana- gers or players in this city except in the last few years. Occasionally a team would pull out ahead at the end of the season. One example of this was the Ploneer team that held forth at the Ellis street dia- mond, but this team, also met a slump In attendance of customers and if the truth was known, little money was taken in in the final years in which the team existed. In the last couple of years, the Falcons, Kensington and Corbin Red Sox have all realized a profit from the season’s play. One team might not have received the support that another did, but whether the bal- ance on the credit side of the ledger was large or small, the fact is that money was made. It will take but very little of the present squabbling over a city serles to spoll the situation and kill the in- terest of the fans. Everyone likes to see a baseball game against a good team from out of town, but such a game can’t begin to compare with the annual battle between the home teams for supremacy at the waning of. the season. This argument is put forth in the hope that both Managers John To- bin of the Corbin Red Sox and Joe Veniski of the Falcons can see their way clear to arrange a series which would in the end, be one of the best ever seen in this city. The Rangers A. C., will hold a #pecial meeting at 7:30 o'clock Wel- nesday epening when Harry Bonney, who has beer selected as coach of the team for the coming season, wilt talk to all candidates. Last Year men and new candidates are urged to be present in the Ranger A:C. room: rn Church street. g Baseball Standing AMERICAN LEAGUE Games Yesterday Washington 12, New York 6.
