Speaking of Sports Bat Battalino, who won the na- tional amateur featherweight title in Boston last week, will be intro- duced from the ring at the amateur tournament of the Mohawk A. C. in the Tabs' hall Thursday night. ‘This will be Battalino's first appear- ance in a New Britain ring since he won the championship. Ray Hogan, the “Terryville Ter- ror” will make his appearance here Thursday night for the first time in quite a while as the headliner. Bpringfield, Waterbury and Hart- ford entries will also be paired up. Battalino will be presented with a beautiful loving cup as a testimon- ial from the Mohawk A. C. in be- halt of New Britain. The New. Britain Blues will prac- tice Thursday night at Willow Brook park at 6 o'clock and all members are asked to be on hand as there is a game scheduled for Sunday and the starting lineup will be picked at this time. The Kensington and Falcon teams will battle it out Saturday at the Kensington grounds in the first game of a series to be played this year. This will be the first game for the Kensington team this sea- son and the third for the Falcons. Judging from the candidates try- ing out for the Pap¢r Goods team, Kensington will have a strong line- up in the game that should make the Falcons step every inch of the day. The local team, however, has two sweet victorles to its credit and this ought to make a whale of a + difference in the play of the two teams. oL A number of the veterans of last year's team “will be seen with the Kensington outfit again Saturday. Ray Begley, considered the peer of first basemen in this city by many, is again trying out for the position. He s recelving opposition from ‘Warren, a Kensington boy. “Yiggs” Patrus, the steadiest man on the’ team, will be at his old post at second base and this assures Kensington fans that the midway station will be covered efficiently. Joe Jasper has a fight on his hands to land at shortstop with De Vito, Hartford star, battling him fqr the place. Jasper was the short- stop on last year's team. “Buggy" Fitzpatrick is . showing the way at third base and at pres- ent has no opposition. Kensington was put in a hole when Georgle Fields recelved physician’s orders to quit the game but his place will be well filled by Fitzle. ! Adam Sullick has a clear feld be- hind the bat. Sullick is a big num- ber with any ball club and with nim playing the way he is at the present time and his arm doing wonders about the bases, the South End team is well fortified in the backstop poqltlrm. Jack Scott has been added to the pitching staff.” A few years ago, Scott was a sensation in this city in the State league, pitching for the Besse-Lelands. He was the main- ftay of the team and his addition to the mound force of Kensington is & good move on the part of Man- » ager Dan Malarney. Charlle Yale is 4 back in the fold again. His arm f went bad on him last year, but atter | severe tests, he figures that he is good for this season. [ The outfleld presents a problem for the new manager of the team. Six candidates are working hard for ) positions. Blesso, well known heavy ‘i sticker from Hartford, is trying to make the team while Eddie Zeigler, transferred from the infleld to the outer gardens where he was a sen- sation by his marvelous catches, is also showing good stuff. Paul Sny- der, for years with the Corbin Red Sox, is making a good impression, ! while Greco is showing speed in the workouts. , Wendrosky and Salad, two newcomers are also doing great work in the practice sessions and Manager Malarney is in for a tough time to pick a regular outfleld this year. Except for the advantage which the Falcons have gained because of the two games already played, the teams, man for man, shape up as equally balanced. The fans of this city and Kensington are in for a real treat when the teams clash Saturday. The game is scheduled to start promptly at 3 o'clock. q Kensington has also gained a franchise in the newly created Cen- tral Connecticut baseball league which was formed at a meeting in Meriden ast night. Other teams in the league are the Meriden Insilcos, Manchester, Wallingford, Southing- ton and Middletown. New Haven with the Hudsons and Plainville may be admitted at a later date. The league voted to play only on Sunday and an entrance fee of $100 was named. A committee consist- ing of Tom Brennan of Wallingford, Carl Hermann of Middletown and James Martin of Southington, was '\ appointed to draw up a constitution to be submitted to the franchise holders at the next meeting. MOUNT PLEASANTS WIN. ‘The Mount Rleasant baseball team defeated the Tiger A. C. 5 to 3 in a thrilling game at St. Mary's field yes- terday. The game was fast and there was plenty of good hitting. Gerent, pitching for the winners, was the star of the game. He fanned 14 of the opposition. Tarchini and Ryan also played well. The Mount Pleas- |© ants would like to meet the Laurels | and the East Ends. The score: Mount Pleasants .....201 010 1—5 Tiger A. C. .. 1012 000 0—3 ‘WINS ANOTHER GAME. The Washington School baseball team beat the Owls yesterday in a game that was interrupted by the rain. This makes 17 wins for the [/ team this year, although it was a narrow squeak yesterday. The Wash- ington School will play Plainville Thursday at 2 o'clock in Plaiuville. ", Iv . LEAGUE STANDING AMERICAN LEAGUE Games Yesterday New York 9, Washington §. Philadelphla 6, Boston b. 8t.

In two previous meéetings Strib- ling won six round decisions, but both were close and Loughran to- day was confident he could turn re- verse the decisions. The bout is bill- ed for 10 rounds. As the two young boxers prepared to weigh in today both were sure of victory. “I'm going to beat Young Stribling and then F'm going after the light heavyweight title.” Lough- ran said. Stribling countered ver- bally with, “This is the golden op- portunity of my life to show what I can really do against the leading contender for the 175 pound title.” On their records both boxers believe they deserve a bout with Jack De- laney if they win today.

Why does Web Cord gdd to the mileage of United States Tires? A. Consider first what happens in a balloon tire—the extent to which the side-wall struc- ture mustconstantlybend and recover. Com- bined flexibility and strength are demanded far beyond the needs of high pressure tires. Web Cord is the completely satisfying answer to these requirements. By soaking the cord in pure, liquid latex, each tiny fibre of the cotton is insulated with rubber. And this more intimate union between cord and ber is accomplished without the use of weakening chemical solvents. Furthermore, the latex webs the cords together without the use of cross-tie threads. One of the major causes of internal friction is removed. The result is maximum strength with maximum flexibilitv — which means maxi- mum mileage.
