Speaking of Sports £2202earetaestotaeete Tt attIsIIassstsiIniIILiy Saturday is going to be a big day for New Britain sport lovers. The Industrial Track and Field meet will be held at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park, the Landers, Frary & Clark and Stanley Rule & Level teams will probably play in conneetion with the meet as an added attraction and ths Corbin Red Sox and Kensington will meet in the sacond game of their series at Ken- sington. Besides thess home events, the Eddy-Glover post, American Legion team, Connecticut champlon outfit, will be playing the Central Falls team of Rhode Island, champion team of that state in the sectional championships and the Washington team, champlon aggregation of the New Britain Boys' baseball league, will be enjoying the fruits of vie- tory on its trip to New York. The American Leglon post here | has done wonderful work with the baseball team which represents it. Thus far, the post members have zone to considerable expense to cquip and outfit the team and for the first time, the post is calling on the general public to 2id in the| vork being carried on. This appeal to the public will not 20 unheeded, we feel sure. Every- body here wants to see a New Brit- ain team crowned national cham- pions of the American Legion base- ball league and the team has been doing wonderful work towards that | end. The local boys have already | copped the Connecticut state cham- | pionship. They start out Saturday | to now down Rhode Island in the sectional contests and if the team | wins, it will piay the winner of the New York-New Jerscy sectional serfes for the chance to go to Phil- adelphia to play for the national | title. Sending the boys to Providence | and then having the Rhode Island team coms here the following week, is going to cost some money. In order to do this in the right way, the post has issued a number of tickets which will be sold among the gener- al public, the money derived there- from to be used to defray expenses of the team. In another column of this fssue | will be found the names of the stores in which the tickets have been | placed and it is hoped that the pub- Jic will support the movement. The Corbin Red Sox and the Xen- sington teams will play the second game of thelr five-game series in Kensington next Saturday. This game was to have been played last | Sunday but owing to the rain, it was | interest a large number of fans, The Stanley Rule & Level team held second place in the Industrial League up until the last game they played with the P. & F. Cerbin crew. In that game, the Corbin crew pulled out with a 2 te 1 win and dashed the hopes of the Rulers of tieing the Landers crew. Still, the Btanley Rulers say that they can beat Landers and they won't be satistied until they can clash with the league leaders on the diamond. The twe teams will surely get together Saturday and then the fun will begin. Saturday will be the big day for the members of the Washington baseball team. The champions of the New Britain Boys' League will be given the time of their lives in New York and if the party is any- where near the success that last year's was, it's going to be some party. The Washington crew will have & chance to see Merwin Jacohson the former local boy, in action with the Brooklyn team because they are scheduled to see the New York Giants and the Robins clash at the Polo Grounds. Dwight Skinner has the tickets already and nothing re- mains but to get started from the Hotel Burritt about 7 o'clock Sat- urday morning. The party will first go to Bronx Park Zoo where Headkeeper Toomey will act as their personal escort through the various depart- ments. They then have dinner and after that comes the baseball game.

Manager Tobin of the Corbin Red Sox wants the game played next Saturda Pat Buckley of the Kensington | team wanted to put the game back |g week because of the Industrial | Track and Field meet which is be- ing held Saturday at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park. Aside from the small atendance that will be a fhe game Saturday, Manager Buck- | ley doesn’t fizure that the two teams | should interfere with the cfforts of | the Industrial Athletic council to bring back track and field athleties to this city. Manager Tobin in this argument hecause he states that because the football season is coming on, base- ball should be out of the way ‘as soon as possible. So far, nothing has been done in this city with re- gard to the formation of a foot- ball team. There have been rumors znd rumors but nothing has come ot it. There are certain movements under way which might result in the city having a football team, but there has been nothing definite done yet, Personally we don't give a hoot it the game is played or not but we wouldn't like to see the managers get into a squabble over the matter. There has been enough arguing on the present series to last for a litetime and none of it has helped the local baseball sitaation. At the mesting of the Industrial Athletic eouncil last night, a game between the Stanley Rule & Level and Landers Frary & Clark teams as an added attraction for the track and field meat Saturday. This will be a real blood game and from pres- ent indications, there will be a good deal of the leng green wagered on the ocntest, The Stanley Rule backers all say that their team, at its full strength, can beat Landers while the Univers- als scoff at this idea and they say they will give the Rulers the worat trimming of the season.
