'Speaking | of Sports E EE22201IteteTIettsesessseeseessstssssettesteitty The finish of the City league promises to be a sizzling one. Only one week is left, and the Pirates triumph over the Burrittees Satur- day resulted In a tie between the two teams for first place. Both are scheduled to finish up this week against nines well down in the race and should win if nothing unusual happens. This would result in a play-off to decide the championshif: And the West Ends are not yet en- tirely out of it, as if both leaders their final games they can come up from third place and make 1 triple tie at the finish. lose After Zemko had been knocked from the box Saturday, the Pirate- Rurrltt game presented a funny spectacle. Huggle Carlson and Men- jou Zaleski, battery mates for the high school during the past year appeared on opposite teams but at the same end of the battery. Za- leski came out from behind the plate and’ pitched five innnings which were as fine as those hurled by his former cohort and present antagonist. But Carlson already had a lead to work on, and with 311 his stuff in such working order as it was Saturday there was no clertaking him. George Luke had an odd day ne Speedboy-Robins game. Three times in succession he grounded to Makula at third and then thrice again he hit flies to left field which Suess captured afcer hard runs. He and Makula had a race to see which third baseman could make the more errors, but Makula won when the #peedboys decided to take no more chances and Brought Gill in to play the bag. The first call for candidates for the New Britain High school foot- ball team will be resounding through | the halls of the Franklin Square building. Coach George M. Cassidy is planning to get an early start be- cause he expects a large squad of candldates to turn out and he will want to get the hest choice among the men. | | Coach Cassidy is brimful of con- fidence for a successful season this year, Last year's season was a suc- cess until the fatal Hartford ne and the loss of this contest shaded the wonderful achievements of the team up to that time. This year, the war-cry of the New Britain High school football team will be “‘Beat Hartford.” These isn't any question about the fact that the members of the team itself 11 be on their toes all through the | season and when the important game rolls around, it is the hope of | the coach and all others interested | in the team'’s future, that the squad will not be found wanting. | Rain and more rain prevented the | clash between the Corbin Red Sox | and the Kensington teams last Sun- | day. Both managers held off until | after 12 o'clock but after secing that | the drizzle and intermittent showers | would prevent any attempt to play, | Manager Buckley called up Manager Tobin and the game was called off. “According to the agreement made at the meeting between the two, in case of postponement, the game was to Mave been played the following Saturday. Next Saturday is the date set for the annual Industrial track and fleld meet and this will inter- fere seriously with the plans of the teams for a good attendance be- cause it surely is evident that one or the other will interfere. The managers are conferring to- day on the matter and after due consideration, it is expected that the game will be lald over to some future date. haseball champion The Eddy-Glover post team, the Connecticut outfit, will practice tonight at 6 o'clock at Walnut Hill park. The team goes to Providence this coming Saturday to play the championship team of Rhode Island. Unconfirmed reports from the sister state tell that the Central Falls team has won the champion- ship of Rhode Island and will there- fos be New Britain's opponents in the playoft. The New Britain team will leave the city early Saturday morning and will proceed to Providence. Tha game will be played at the Provi- dence Fastern league baseball park | and will be the main attraction of | the Rhode Island state convention. the Rhode Tsland state Aepartment has called off the an- nual state convention parade in favor of the baseball game. This, in itself, shows what an important item this is consldered by the Rhode Island Legionnaires and what tre- BEST EVER : » 28 New Improvements that increase comfort— power—cleanliness—quictness smoothness, Come in and look 'em over today. In fact, N\ - 192 Indians ECONOMY SPORT SHOP Successor to ['ADFIELD SPORTING GOODS | Waterbury mendous interest is being® shown in the coming game, Seeing that it will be a long trip for the members of the team from this city to Providence, the start for the Rhode Island capital will be made earlier than usual so that there will be an opportunity for the boys to get out and stretch on the way down, The game will be played at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The Industrial Track and Field meet will be held next Saturday afternoon at Memorfal Field in Wil- low Brook park ard to say that the interest in it is intense, is putting the question mildly. There will be a larger number of entries this year than there has ever Dbeen hefore and the competition will be keener. Most of the factories re- port at least 10 men on a team while others are clamoring to get into the meet. The entry lists will close this week and practice sessions will be held at Memorial Field to- night, tomorrow and Thursday nights. | The “Herald” is offering a trophy for the factory team that wins the highest number of points in the meet. This will be a beautifully de- signed plaque and will be set as a three-legged prize, meaning that for permanent possession, the trophy will have to he won three times. It will be known as ths “Herald” trophy and the rivalry between the factories for the honor of being the first winner, is very keen. Everything else will have to make way for the mest next Saturday as Physical Director Joseph G. Herg- strom of the Y. M. C. A, Is getting applications every day. The event that is to bring out the greatest number of fans is the two- mile open which will bring together the best distance men in the ecity. Sandberg, Brady and Mike Healy with several others who have made their names in ths college track world, will furnish enough compe- tition to make the event the star attraction of the day. Tt has been some time since the city has had a track meet in which <o much interest is being shown. The factories entered have teams of atheletes who are all set to go out and cop the prizes while a number of dark horses who have been work- ing out for the past few months, will try to cut in for the trophies being offered.
