Speaking f[ny v f bl e § The story has spread that most of S the New Britaln games would be o f p o r t s played away from home, but this [Eeriecssocstanataesasmsssananananasaoossecsesessy isn't yet known because only a The Corbin Red Sox ars all sst to my. Mike Gibbons, Tommy's brother, taught Delaney to box. Gibbons was asked by a Strouds- burg man today what he thought of Dempsey. “I have not seen much of Jack,” replied Tommy. “You fought him 15 rounds,” in- sisted the fan, ol atting g s nd.

The Sox players will all meet at the K. of C. rooms on Franklin uare tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock ready to go to Kenaington. The team has had a two weeks lay- oft and according to the dope ex- pect to win both tomorrow and Sun- day’'s games. The Bed Sox still hope to arrans a game with the Falcons before ti curtain is drawn on the present sca- son and the members of the club are willing to bet that the Falcons don't win. The Leglon team is out to win| also tomorrow against the Rhode Is- land team that defeated the locals last Saturday in Providence. The locals have their backs to the wall and tomorrow will furnish the at- traction in the city by playing & double header at St. Mary's geld. The first game will start promptly at 2 o'clock and the second will follow immediately afterwards. Another champlonship game on the program tomorrow is the meet- ing between the Pirates and Burritts for the championship of the New Britain City League. Thess two fin- ished the regular schedule last week in a deadlock for first place and the extra game was necessary. It will be staged at Walnut Hill park at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Both outfits are in for a tough| battle and Without a doubt, they will be in' the contest for all they are worth. The tickets for the American Legion game are selling well at the various stores in which they were placed, it is reported. This is the first time that the Eddy-Glove# post has approached the general public for funds with which to carry on the work of the team, and there isn't any doubt but what New Britain will be behind the team to a man. boys on the team are anx- ious to carry the fight right through | to Philadelphia, and as the winner| of tomorrow’s contests will play the Yonkers, N. Y., team at the Polo Grounds, home of New York Glants, on September tomorrow's two games will be battles to the finish. The local Legion post s in need | of money to keep its team going, and as the locals pay th expenses of the visiting team, the sum reallz- ed on the sale of tickets on tomor- row’s games will be used towards| tais purpose. New Britain has never denigd an appeal for funds for any worthy cause, and if it is a cham- pionship that is in the works, New Britain will certainly do everything expected . of it in furthering the cause of baseball. “Monjue" Zales showing great form in the second team backfield of the New Britaln High school foot- ball team. If he continues to play as sensationally for the next week and a half, he will undoubtedly re- place one of the present backfield men, Fengler, Claire, Matulls or Carlsony Zaleskl seems to be the greatest find that has come up in High school in recent vears. He played sensa- tionally in basketball last winter. Ed Dailey's announcement today that he had signed Thompson, star of last year's team, to play at the halfback position agaln this year, will come as welcome news to the followers of football in this: city. Thompson flashed brillfantly in last year's games and his work was of such high order that there isn't any question but what he will be a good addition to the eleven again this year. the announcement that Thompson has been signed, Dailey also stated that the other tackle position would be filled by a player whose ability goes un- questioned in this city. Mystery surrounds the - identity of this player and although he is known to the inner circle, his name will not be announced by the manage- ment immediately. Along with Sunday will find the All-New Britain team all set to take a fall out of the New Haven Blues.

October 10 is the date set for this world wide attraction officials come through, New Brit- aln fans will have the opportunity of seeing Grange, Tryon and all the other great gridiron stars who are on the team. Grange's team is playing in Bo: ton on October 9 and on their w; sily drop off here and play the wcal team, The policy to be followed by the local management this year with regard to the price of admission has been met with favor all over the city. The management decided not to make any extra charge for bleacher seats but will have one price at the gate. This will entitle the fans attending the games to a seat in the bleachers, but “first come, first served” will be the ru under which the games will be conducted. The season opens noon at Memorial fleld in Willow Brook park. The game will be started at 2:30 o'clock sharp and New Britain will win.
