Vance helped himself to four bingles, but was unwilling to vield more than that to the entire Cin- cinnati club, which was buried in the cellar today undor a two game layer.

Chances of victory are brighter {than most of the New Britainites think. The team has been improving v\\ilh each of its reverses this year. 1€ the local nine continues to hit as it did in the Weaver game, if Party- ka can pitch as well as he scems to be able to pitch and if the fielding of the team improves, New Britain should win. So far this season the Red and Gold team secms to be the opposite of its predecessors. Every team that has represented the high school in the last decade could not hit worth a hang but could field but the hit and error columns of the team this year are running a neck and neck race for honors. Coach Cassidy will choose the following game: Zaleski, pitch; Bromberg, probably to start the catch; Partyka, first base; West- on, seccond base; Hinchey, short stop; Matulis, third base; Mechan, left ficld; Havlick, center field; and ro, right field. 1f Frank Begley attaing 2 high enough mark in studies he will be sent in at short stop and Hinchey will probably take over an outficld position. n Ready Working with the knowl it is meeting one of preparatory school track teams in the state in Suffield the New Britain High school track team has just completed a week of hard work and is out to score a victory. The meet will take place at Willow Brook park Saturday morning. With Matulis of the baseball team again ready to take part in the ticld cvents and with Reckert, Mc- {Grath and Zehrer showing improy- ed form the team should be able to score some points in the shot put, discus and javelin throws.
