WW ! Speaking Hof Sports LSS I LI SR IR o Developments yesterday sent the stock of the All-New Britain foot- boall soaring sky high. Manager Ed. Dailey succeeded in securing “Shep” Bingham for the games with the%‘llnmrd Blues and he wil} be seen in action with the local team at end. He has been playing With the Brooklyn Horsemen and wilt be allowéd by his team to play in the games. g But, though Bingham's* ' telegram stting that he would be here on Wednesday was a pleasant bit of news, Manager Dailey also secured another player who was with the team last year for the remainder of the season. He will be with the team Sunday afternoon for the bal- |y ance of the season. 1 For reasons of his own, the play- er has requested that his name be kept out of print, and this wish will | be pespected by us. We will try to tell the public who divulging his name. We have christened the' player George Ducon, That almost tells the story. He is a backfield man whose* work last year was a marvel. He can carry the ball, pass and s @ kicker extraordinary. In fact, he won the first game against Hartford last year with two field goals. If that last one doesn't tell who he is, then we have to give up. ¥ Ducon will be with New ‘Britain Sunday afternoon against the New | London Submarine Base team and anyone in doubt as to his identity ¢l know him as soon as he steps out on the fleld . with the Britain team. s I New | I | *his rounds out the New Britain | backfield into almost championship | class.
