With several weeks of practice, the teams to start tomorrow night should be somewhere near top form for the beginning of the season. A weekly magazine carrying a serles of questions and answers in cach issue asked the following one day: “What player in the National lcague made three runs in one in- ning?" The answer was “Tommy Burns of the Chicago Nationals.” Tommy Burns was a New Britain man who became one of the best known players {n the world. He was a brother to the late Patsy Burns and many of the old-timers will re- member distinctly when he made the record above referred to. The Falcon baseball team, after triumphal return Tuesday to De- able, scoring it fourth straight victory yesterday, has an unusual attrac- tion carded for next Sunday when it plays the Brightwood A. C. of Springfield at.St. Mary's fleld. The visiting tcam will furnish by far the hardest opposition the Falcons will have had this season. = Dame Fortune smiled on the lo- cal team yesterday afternoon When Alexander muffed a rather easy fly oft Bucklan’s bat and gave the lo- cals a chance to score. A sidelight on the error hy Alex- gnder is given us by a spectator who stated that several children were in the field when the ball was hit and it was the flelder’s concern for their safety rather than through his own omission to cover the ball that he dropped the fiy. We have a letter here for the baseball manager of the Orioles of this city. If Manager Abe Aronson will call around before next Christ- mas, we will be glad to give him the missive. Fatsy Buckley refused to manage the All-Kensington team this year and Dan Malarney was selected in his place. Pat stated that ho want- ed a vacation from diamond worrics and everyone agreed that he should have one. Yet, he represented St. Paul's T. A. B. spclety of Kensing- ton in the organization meeting of the western Connecticut baseball league. Incidentally, Gerald P.

The Inter-Church baseball league will open its season at Wilow Brook rark this evening at 6:45 o'clock, with three games scheduled for the iirst night. The St. Matthew's, G man Lutherans, who captured the| title a year ago, will start with the| Iirst Baptists. The St. Matts. have i good many of their championship | players left and are prophesying a, cpetition of the 1926 runaway, but the whole league is out to stop this and the Baptists, not a weak team in | my department, will ba the first to | iry their hand. The South Congre- | rational church, which has perhaps | the largest squad of any team in the league, will oppose the Stanley Me- morial nine, always a dangerous ag- gregation; these two teams opened | against each other last year, the Stanmors winning by 9-1 on infield misplays in the first inning. The Swedlsh Bethany team, which has given assurances that a strong line up will take the ficld, will play it first league contest against the Tri ity Methodisats, last vear's runners- up. The umpires will be G. Preis- ser, A. Morton and C. Frederickson. The weather today looked doubt- ful, and league officials called atten- tion to the new ruling that games/ would be plaved unless rain fell for 15 minutes bgtween 5 p. m., and game time.

Court Rulings New York, May 9.—(UP)—A fed- eral court and two state athletic commissions will probably decide this week what Tex Rickard's status | will be this summer as an outdoor oxing promoter. Jack Dempsey’s urn to the squared arena is in- | volved in the controversies. Of most immediate concern to Rickard is the outcome of the in- junction suit brought against him by Walter Taylor, Cleveland promoter, to prevent the Jim Maloney-Tom Sharkey battle set for May 19 at Yankee stadium. Taylor says he has a prior claim on Maloney for a bout with Johnny Risko. The suit was argued before Federal Judge Henry W. Goddard {n court here last week and the judge promised an early | decision, which will probably be | this week. i The boxing boards of both New York and Massachusetts have bar- red Paulino from fighting in those | states until he explains, if he can, why he hasn't lived up to a contract | Eddie Mack of Boston says he | signed with him for a fight with Ed Keeley. | Paulino’s manager, Al Mayer, was i to ear before the Bay Sta boxing commission today to try to| give a satisfactory explanation. Rickard has already announced that Dempsey's first opponent in his comeback will be Paulino, and at an early date; so unless the New York and Massachusetts boxing commis- slons decide with Paulino, Rickard i may have to get Dempsey another | partner or postpone the first of the | Dempsey specials until after the Spaniard has satisfied the Boston promoter. Decisions are expected this week | from both commissions. | Rickard holds the contract for a | return bout between Mickey Walker, | Flowers. The contract was signed before the fight at Chicago last De- | cember when Walker won the deci- Walker has made plans to sail for 17 and Flowers' Miller, intends to | Europe on May manager, Walk | before the state athletic commission | today to ask the commission to pre- vent Walker from going to Europe | before giving Flowers a return bout. | BLUES LOSE FIRST i rrors By Inficld Help In Defeat of New Britain Team By Parkville | Combination.
