Speaking of Sports Adam Sullick, speaking of his try- out for the Kinston, N. C., baseball club, had a “fast” oné pulled on him while in the Southland. Adam was told when he arrived at the baseball camp that it his arm was good, he sould t make the team. He wasu't told, however, that the man whose place he was battling for was the manager of che club, He showed up well in practice and his irm, very good at all times, was the ht of the second baseman and ' stop. Yet, he was given his apers and sent home. ger told him that he was OK in every way except that he tucked experience. He told Sullick that he was afraid t he would n on the club in the middie son und for that reason, viis foreed to let him go. 0 am the had made the man: wouldn't hav iad @ position in which to play a obvious reason why N. G, rember of the Kinston, »ascball elub this year, Sullick hasn't decided as yet just where he will play, but the chances his returning to Kensington are very good this scason, although he asn't definitely decided where he vill. go. With the leading teams of the city holding practi ions today, tomorrow and Sunday, New Britain starts the 1927 season in Competition between cities which boast ball clubs will be keen with New Britain leading again this year. The Bristol Ne making plans to get cther & strong club again this season and Joe Carroll, the Connie Mack of the Lell-Town sports, will again be tell- ing us that he has a “darn fine ball club.” tog Johnny Clinch failed to appear in 4 bout in the amatcur tournament the Tabs' hall last night. He wa present, however, to display a finger mjured in training. This is another ligit that has sulfered an accident, but it is thought that he will be ready to get going next week. Tonight's tournament in Hartford “ill be the last indoor show to be 1d in the Capital City. It hasn’t swen definiacly settled yet whetk v Briizin will have outdoor show bis year or not. Wiflow Brook park is the only available spot in the city which they can be held, and un- il more hleachers are secured for tie stadium, there is little likelibood that the Mohawk A. C. will attempt ‘o stage the amateur ere. tournaments The attendan, Tabs’ hall last night tended to show hat New Britain amateur fight fans still interested in secing the s here ,and although it is t here, and although it is early to stage the fights irname iittle too outdoors. amble for the polo fran- : in this city becomes more complicated as the time approaches tor the meeting of the league direc- tors which will decide whether New Britain will have a franchise this viar and it so, who will get it. Daly & Perakos, the pair that «id the reins over the All-New a ootball team last year, are Lot after it and so is Frank Mec- Donough, proprictor of the Casino Bowling alleys. Aunother combina- tion that is looking for the right to conduct a polo team here is the Denny McMahon-Patsy Bridgett duo. It is reported that still another party is seeing to establish the game in this city but no definite information has been reccived on it The fact that so many are cager to promote roller polo in this city is a pretty good assurance that the zame will be played here, The Tabs' 11, we have it on good authority, | will be available for the game fol- jowing the inspection of floors on which the game is played. There is little damage done to a floor nowadays from roller skating in a polo game. Fiber rollers are nsed on the skates and these do not mark or cut a floor. The Tabs were lutely right in investigating first of all to see if the floor in the new hall would be ruined but, as we inde nd it, there s little chance any great damage being done, severa Then n, there i3 the possibil- ity that a new sports auditorium vill be built on mmercial street on & part of the site of the H. R. Walker Trucking Co. This bulld. ing will be 120 by either 80 or 9 teettlong and will be built expres tor polo. It is planncd to run basketball there and other sports but if polo and the other sports are kept in the Tabs' building, there will be no necessity for another hall on Com- mercial street. The entire situation revolves on the granting of a fran- chise to parties in this city, New Britain is attracting many sports.promoters here. The Hard- ware City has the reputation of being one of the best sporting towns in the state. The support given its various teams in past seasons with only few exceptions 1s evidence cnough of this fact, However, local sportsmen are capable of handling all the situa- tions here and they can be depend- ed on to seize all opportunities which present themselves, LIFE SAVING TESTS San Francisco, April 15 (A—By rrying a life line to a coast guard tter 4,000 feet off shore, and drop- uping it across the vessel's decks, United States flyers at Crissy Field yesterday performed an experiment which they expect to revolutionize method of putting lines aboard ves- sels in distress at sea.
