Rogers, for that is his first name and his previous experience was gained as manager of the world champion St. Louis Cardinals last year, is working out under hot Flori- da sun like a rookie. Weighing 174 pounds, 14 more than he started the season with last year, Hornsby today had two blistered hands and a face scarlet from sunburn to show for his first two days of training. When he is not in the cage bat- ting, the former champion of Na- tional League batters is sweeping up running lap after lap around the field, or acting as assistant pitching coach to Roger Bresnahan pending the arrival of Manager John Mc- Graw from Havana today. Further- more, he has just about decided that the Giants will win the pennant in the National League this year. Pittsburgh has a chance to beat out the Giants because they are “much the same sort of clubs” Hornsby says. The Glants’ advantage he belfeves, comes from a better bal- anced pitching staff. And as for the Cardinals, “they won't have the spirit they had last year.” “St. Louis wasn’t the best ball club in the league even though it won the pennant,” was Hornsby's comment. “It was the spirit and co- operation and good fellowship and understanding that pulled them through in first place.” Arrival of Virgil Cheeves, former Chicago Cub’s hurler, brought the squad numbers to 14, most of whoin are youthful pitchers and catchers, very light practice, consisting for the most part of conditioning work, will make up the toil until the ar- rival of the main body of regulars on March 1.

Play-by-play descriptions of bas- ketball games played by a local team | may be broadcast if present plans [for a two-day state elimination | tournament at Storrs on March 11 land 12 are carrled through, This tourney, the winners of the county “Y” leagues conductéd in #he eight coun- | ties of Connecticut for boys under 19 years of age, has been arranged with the authorities of the Connecti- cut Agricultural college and will be an enjoyable week-end trip as well as a series of games for those who take part. It is hoped to broadcast at least the final game from WCAC. Two leagues in this class have been conducted in Hartford county. The "armington entry won the Farming- ton Valley section without losing a game. The other section is still play- ing, with the championship resting | between two New Britain quintets, the State Trade school and the South church. The school has a light lead but has to meet the church on the latter team’s floor next week. That game may settle the championship, and the winner will take on Farmington for the right to go to Btorrs. The quality of play in the Farmington Valley section is not believed to have been so high as that in the league around here, and |it is expected that whichever local aggregation emerges on top of its jleague will defeat Farmington and move on to the Storrs tourney.

C. basketball team of this city will play the first of three games carded for the rest of this week, tonight in Middletown when it stacks up against the Co.

Just a few weeks ago, the Burritts triumphed over the Co. B team at the statz armory in this city and in to- night's contest, the locals will at- tempt to make it eight straight wins. Thursday night, the Burritts will | journey to Meriden to tackle the Meriden Falcons. The rivalry be- | tween these two teams has heen | ver- keen all season since the Bur- ritt have filled in the shoes of the New Britain Falcons. The game has been the chief topic of talk in the Meriuen club for some time and the Silver City tossers | are confident that they are desti to spill the Burritts in the battle. Captain Andy Yacobowicz who has heen nursing a sever cold, is expect- ed to be in good trim for both bat- | tles and with him back in his stride, the Burritts confidently expect to win both tonight and tomorrow night. Saturday night in the preliminary | at the state armory, the Burritts will |} attempt to avenge themselves against Kofsky's Co-ops of Hartford. The Co-ops defeated the locals here a | month ago and at present are lead- ing a semi-pro league in Hartford. | FRANCE ENTERS PLAY Team Is Expected to Be Made rp‘- {he received a Of the Same Players Who Have Won Past Two Years.
