Speaking of Sports Matty Hayes, for several years the mainstay of the Ranger A, C. in the catching position, has been signed with the All-Kensington team_ by Manager Dan Malarney, according to notices recelved from the South End team. Eddie Mack- barth of Meriden is another likely addition to the Paper Goods lineup although he is starting out tomor- row with the Insilco team of the | Nilver City. Either of these two men will re- place Adam Sullick who left the Kensington team during the week hecause of a difference in the mat- ter of finances with Manager Ma- larney. DeVito and Jasper are still being | tried out for the position of short- stop on the Kensington team. De- Vito has had the bulk of the work with the team but he hasn’'t shown a great deal either in the way of fielding or in hitting. After a few more games, Manager Malarney should be able to get a line on which of the two men is the better player. With the Pirates and the Corbin Red Sox planning to play alternate games at Willow Brook park on Sunday, the Falcons are going to meet with serious opposition in the nater of drawing crowds. Then there is Kensington down the line playing at home also on Sunday. With' three games at the pleasure of New Britain fans, sv..e one team is going to suffer. The necessity of the Corbin Red Sox in securing a home field is evi- dent from the fact that the team is entered in the Central Connecticut Baseball League but the main rea- son why the team went after a homa lot was because of the “freeze-out” it received last year in the city series. At that tinme the clajm was put forth that the Corbin Red Sox was not a home club and therefore | should not split equally in the re- ceipts from the games. Now this | reason has been entirely erased off | the boards with the Sox one of the ' official teams at the Willow Brook park diamonds. { The Falcons have a large follow- ing of fans who will keep on at- tending the games at St. Mary's field but the Corbin Red Sox and the Pirates also have following who have been denied the pleasure of seeing their favorites in action on| Sunday. 5 ]\ It always has been and it still is| our opinfon that league ball will draw more interest always than in dependent ball and when the season is well on the way, Willow Brook | < should be a popular drawing card. Criticism was expressed at the | meeting of the school board OVer .. ang Miss Carrle Froeba jour- ! Providence the few games which the New Brit- | ain High school bascball is playing | at home. This season, one sched- | ulrd game is being played here, the | one against Hartford High today | while another date is open and an- | other game might be played in this city. It we remember rightly, the main reason why these games have al- most all been scheduled away from home is the fact that interest among | the students at the high school in the home games has been laeking‘ and only a few have attended the) games played at home. Members of the board eriticised | the fact that so many games werei 10 be played in Hartford. It hap- pens that regular teams on the'New : Tritain schedule have been the La Sallette and St. Thomas' Seminary | ns of the Capital City. As these ‘cams are not allowed to travel out | ol Hartford, the games must of a ! necessity be played there, | Sheuld the students at the High | school show more interest in the | fames played at home, there would | be no apparent reason why the | High school nine should be away | ‘-om home on all except a few | dates. We believe that this interest | could be worked up so that at| least halt of the games could be played at home with a profitable return to the school athletic trea- | sury. ‘ DE " BY BILLY EVANS [ 1.

The calling of a balk is a mat- ter of the umpire’s judgment and no appeal is necessary for a decision. 3.

The warm rains, combined with the muggy weather, have made condi- tions ideal for the pursuit of George H. Brook Trout, and we for one are confident that fish have been caught pretty steadily throughout the week. The coming of the midges and mosquitoes have opened up the fly fishing fleld to those who prefer the feathered barbs to the barn- yard hackle, although most Con- necticut brooks are so surrounded by brush that most of the feather flinging activities have been con- fined to ponds. TYou chaps would do well to keep your eye on Harold Percival Dyken, once before mentioned in this col- umn. This wary boy has, somewhere up his sleeve, what must be a won- derful brook or pond, with evidence pointing to the latter speculation. | A couple of weeks ago he brought in & 17 inch trout which he claimed was caught ‘“somewhere in Ken- sington.” This week he toted home a 15 inch beauty which he claims was caught in the same place. They haven’t been single fish either; Har- old’s creel Is usually pretty well filled with nine and ten inchers. It's getting so now that he can't leave town without having a bunch ot the boys trail him in an en- deavor to locate that mythical place. So far he has managed to dodge them and we are lacking ex- | act {information as to just where these big fellows dwell. We have one wild guess which we are going to try out this afternoon but we’ll be wearing false whiskers so don't try to trail us. A new means of changing one’s luck has been introduced by Her- man Wells of this city. Herman's luck, since the opening of the sea- son, has not set the world afire. Herman's pride and joy has heen !X his long flowing moustache and the reasonable deduction arrived at by : the disappointed fisherman was that something drastic must be | done to change his luck. Result: Off comes the moustache. Herman's friends have told him that he looks positively naked without the adorn- | ment but the determined rod wield- er has not swerved from his pur- pose and the upper lip mtill re- mains without its follage. The biggest fish we have heard of coming from Reservoir Number 4 came to us from a talkative oc- cupant of a barber’s chair the other day. He escaped before wo could get the lather out of our mouth to find out who he was but the details included a pickerel which measured 31 inches and weighed four pounds, caught with | worms in the reservoir on Tuesday | evening. That's a nice pickerel, men. Reports from the shore show a slackening of the flat fish run ani the beginning of the white peren invasion. One Sunday Captaln Al-| tred Griswold, Rudy Zimmerman, Al Schultz, Miss Eleanor Zimmer- neyed to Clinton Beach and took out 53 white perch. The salt water fishing season doesn’t really open for us until the black fish start taking fiddler crabs off the hooks but reports tell us that there are plenty of thrills connected with They run from eight to 15 inches with an} occaslonal 20 incher grabbing the hook. Louis Schwartz and TLarry Ed-{ wardson tried the Coppermine brook last week-end and got 13 nice trout between them. Let it be said in all modesty that we were the ones who taught Larry how to string up a rod and now the un- grateful cuss threatens to beat us at our own game. Why, even the day he started his campaign against brook trout, he beat us with 32 dace to our measly 18, but we. rounded things up by catching #I.i real honest-to-Joe trout -— a four inch infant that had to be thrown back, but a trout for all that. Thursday afternogn wae treated to an afternoon’s fishing as the guest ot Jack Vance at the Natchaug Game Club's Stonehouss | brook above Willimantic. We had | a lot of fun with the little ones, which crowded the brook so that | we had to scare them away to get our bait in the water. It waus an eventful afternoon: we nearly stepped on & black snake big enough to have been in a circus around a pretty lady's neck: we caught a couple of trout; we got asked out of a brook that we took for grant- Natchaug club; we nearly got arrested in South Manchester by a youth in a khaki suit and a shiny badge who waved red flags promiscuously at a detour; we watched Jack throw brown hackels and royal coachmen around Wheaton pond and we got lost a couple of times in the bar-’ gain, It was a great day. A trip out past White Oak pond any one of these May afternoons is reassuring in that it shows a con- crete example that the youngsters of the coming generation are as rabld about fishing as we all used to be. The “bent pin brigade” 1s seen ont there in full force, the re quirements for membership in this organization consisting of a couple of penny hooks, a fairly long plece of store string, an alder switch and flve worms. In our day it used to be Doer's pond and before that it was lockshop pond. Youth moves with the trend of civilization and tomorrow’s Fish and Game associa- tion drags out shiners with enthu- slasm at the spot where once big pickerel ruled the depths. The stream that crosses the Plainville-Southington road at Dun- ham's ‘bridge is a favorite haunt of the night sucker spearers. Most of these enthusiasts of the torch and trident are made up of the younger element of conductors and motor- men. For some strange reason the boys in blue who ding-ding all day find a great kick in slapping the steel to suckers in that stream by night.

Plenty of trout —800d weather—pickerel snapping at everything that moves—salt wa- ter fishing reported good—go to it, boys, and lots of luck! See you muext week.

New York, May 14.—(A—The {idea of an eastern intercollegiate | football conference, or “Big Ten" given some impetus last fall by the Harvard-Frinceton break, may take | firmer root in the new move to set up a “dictator” for the selection of | gridiron officials. | Officlals of most of the colleges | trown on the conference notion just | now as “premature,” but it is no secret many of them regard the possibility favorably and hope, in time, to knit together a group along the lines of the western con- ference. Football men would regard the centralizing of authority in choosing officlals for . the “big games” as a step toward | a conference. It remains to he seen | whether the finitiative, taken by Yale in agreement with Harvard and Dartmouth, will influence other | eastern institutions. | i unquestionably | 1t ta interesting to note in the 1927 foothall schedule the increas- ing number of games listed among a | suggested eastern “big ten"—Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Cornell, | Princeton, Pennsylvania, Columbia, Army Navy, Brown. Harvard and Princeton have split | apart but the Crimson meets Dart- { mouth, Penn, Brown and Yale this | fall. | Yale plays Brown, Army. Dart- ' mouth, Princeton and Harvard, | Columbia and Cornell, |~ Cornell and Dartmouth, old rivals | themselves, each have three other | games i the group—the Ithacans | with Princeton, Columbla and Penn; | the Green with Harvard, Yale and | Brown. | Columbia, Princeton, Navy and | army play the smallest roles in this | mythical aggresation for 1927.
