Pet. 120 NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, BITTER DISPUTE were others who demanded a long count on handicap strokes. The committee has declared its willing- ness to increase handicaps only on the oondition that cards are to be turned in. As was predicted, Ted Hart failed to hold his lead in the twilight tour- nament. A. B. Porter, known to the initiated as “Fonz” came through with two 78's which with his 14 handicap, brings him down to 64. This puts him six strokes ahead of Hart for the two weeks play.

He stated this morning that tonight's session will decide whether the Falcon baseball team is to continue play this season or not, Saturday morning it was an- nounced that Frank “Chuck” Wo- jack had received his release as coach of the Falcon team. Im- mediately the other players on the teams who have admired “Chucky” all along, rallied to his support and threatened to quit if he was not retained. He played in yesterday's game but the argument is still echoing down the pike because the meeting tonight is being called for discus- sion of this very problem. For a team that has gone through a season such as the Falcon team has so far this year with 15 wins to its credit and only three defeats chalked 'up against it, there is some- thing apparently very wrong some- when when harmor 7 cannot prevail. The team is stronger this year than it has been in many seasons and to break it up now, would put a erimp in the fine showing by the team. From a managerial standpoint, the team fsn't drawing in the money it should at St. Mary’'s field, but that is the fault of the spectators rather than of the club. The team has been entertaining with fine baseball mostly all season and if the specta- tors haven't been paying to see the exhibitions, then, of course, the management has a legitimate kick. 1t such is the case, then the Fal- cons should turn to road games for a while and deprive the gate crash- ers of their Sunday afternoon enter- tainment for a time. This would probably remedy the situation. It seems to use that the Falcon management could take steps to force those who are attending the games at St. Mary's fleld each Sun- day to pay for their pleasure or else keep them out of the fleld. We cannot concelve of a baseball fan attending a game Sunday after Sun- day without checking in his 50 cents once in a while anyway. However, these troubles are no concern of ours except that we would like to express the hope that the difficulties being encountered by the Falcon team will quickly be ovarcome. A diamond clash of the first linen will take place at Willow Brook park next Sunday afternoon when the Corbin Red Sox team clashes with the Pexto aggregation of South- ington in a Central league game. The Red Sox broke into the win- ning column yesterday afternoon against Collinsville playing ball the way the team should and can. Next Sunday will mark the first appearance in this city of the Wrench Town aggregation and the first home appearance of the two New Britain stars who are playing on the Southington team, Eddie Ziegler and Ray Begley.

Sev- eral shifts in the lineup tonight should result in a ronger offense and defense by the “Y" crew.

WEATHER WASHES {Shuttle Meadow Golfers Forced t0 Be Idle Saturday he weatherman washed out the ament at the Shuttle Meadow golf club Saturday much to e dismay and disappointment of a rge number of very able golfers who were out to take a shot at “0ld Man Par.”” Shuttle Meadow golfers as a general rule arc game enough to play in the rainbut there are few of them who are willing to take a chance of drowning out on the wastes of a windswept and storm torn golt course such as was the case Saturday, The erstwhile entries in the tour- nament crowded the windows of the club house watching intent the banks of clouds rolling over the sky. Signs of joy and relief would appear as one or the other would remark that the weather appeared to be on the verge of clearing up and then another outburst and a downpour would send them into the depths again. It is surely a pitiful sight to see good golfers forced to sit around and twiddle their thumbs hoping for a silver lining to a row of dark clouds. How many times their hopes were blasted by the sav- «ge fury of the rain, will never be known. One foursome, more brave than the others, took to the course, garbed, it is said, in sou'westers and hip boots but despite the protection the quartet was a sadly drenched foursome when it returned from the battle. Finally, the players had to be satisfied with several rounds of bridge. Sunday morning proved to be an entirely new setting and the crowds of golfers who appeared, more than made up for the day of enforced idleness on Saturday. A starter at the first fee would have been a wel- come addition Sunday morning. Pent-up feelings of revenge showed in the long drives off the first tec as every man swung for a drive to the green an almost impossible shot. Though many fell in the rough and anded among the trees, there were others who scored clean hits down the fairw Sunday afternoon was a repetition of the morning scene. P. F. King nas won his las. tour- nament. He has declared this nim- self because as he states it “when a handicap committee lets a fellow &0 good for a couple of rounds and then takes immediate steps to squelch him, how can a fellow even get started 2" P. F." thinks the handicap committee is trying to make a Bobby Jones out of him. However, though the committee has ruined the lives of some, all wa: not clear on the coast because there Crossman for the Smedley Hart i still after him and to hear him declare himself, one is remind- ed of a certain fighter in Boston of Lithuantan extraction. “I know I can beat him, watch me the next time. What's six strokes to me?” “Fonz,” however, will probably prove to be the Dempsey in this case.
