" many nights, of Sports Rain again interrupted the pro- gram of sports for the week yes- .terday when it came down in tor- rents just before 3 o'clock in tiine to prevent the playing of the Rotary Boys' League games at Walnut Hill park. For the second time in as the Church League games at Willow Brook pard had ;10 be called off. Senfor baseball teams in this city have been forced to cancel or post- pone four Sunday games during re- cent weeks because of rain and wor- ried managers are hoping for a “break” soon in the weather. It 18 high time for the managers ot the leading teams in the gity to get together if they are to blay a city champlonship series again this vear. At this time last year, nearly all the details to be followed out were planned and dates for games were already set. If there §s such a thing as a city series in the minds of the managers this season, then the weather we have been erjoying lately would cause them to startthinking seri- ously of making arrangements. For the past several seasons, now, efforts have been made to decide the champion of New Britain and despite the early start of last sea- son, the games between All-Ken- sington and the Falcons were never finished because the season had ad- vanced well into the football time before all the games were finished. Should the managers decide that .they want to pla voff a city series “this year, we would be glad to co- | operate with them again in any way possihle. Wa think that the series, which has been made practically an institution in this city, should be carried out each year at the end of the baseball year to decide the mythical championship of the city. The teams meet outside opposi- tion during the year but their rela- tive strength s not decided until the series Is played to determine which is the best outfit in the city. Men about the state who are in- terested in professional football, are losing no time in making prepara- tions for the season which is due to | open in a few months. Plans which were discussed at the close of last season for a state league, are he- ginning to take shape and it is en- tirely possible that a circuit will be formed. It will be interesting to the far of this city to watch the details con- cerning - the National IFootball league. This circuit went on the rocks last year and whether teams in this section of the country will be allied agajn with the league, is a question that is bothering many. Manager Ed Dailey of the All- New Britain Football team is hustling about these days sending out letters to prospective p: ex- plaining terms and playing condi- tions as they are New Britain this coming on. Tom Humphries, although he suf- ult of te fered & severe burning as a re an electric shock during the wi and able to play. He will be invi is reported to he in condition again to make a tryout for the All-New Britain eleven again this fall. Fans in this city will be glad to see him able to get into the game aguin, It may be possible that a gr part of the Fordham unive team of last year will be represent- ed on the All-New Britain team this season. Jim Manning a veteran star of a few years bick, may play here while the chances of securing zewski, Leary, Graham and a few others who-made the football name of Fordham known throughout the country last year, seem to be very bright. Should these men become mem- bers of the All-New Britain Football team, then we know of at least two fans in this city who will not miss a game. Théy are Judge Bill Mangan | and Harry Ginsburg. 1f Fordham ! was never on the map, this pair would have broadcasted the merits of the university to the entire world. RELEASED WITHOUT BONDS THROUGH ERROR Misunderstanding Causes Short Pe- riod of Unrestricted Freedom— Also Re-Arrest. Because the bondsman in the case of Ralph Lawrence, Joseph Lang and John M. Kossick, former- ly with the Burritt Motor Sal corporation, did not have sufficier equity in the real estate he owns to cover the $1,500 bonds required, the three men were re-arrested and locked up in cells at police head- quarters last evening. The men were brought into court yesterday charged with ob- taining money under false pre- tenses. Through their attorney, David L. Nair, they waived exam- ination and were continued in the same bonds of $500 cach for their appearance at the Scptember term of criminal court. They were released fn honds fur- nished by Sam Rudman of East Main street. Following court action yesterday. through a misunderstanding, the bond was not renewed immediat and the men were free for a br period without bonds. evening separate Last bondsmen were obtained for each man and again they were released.
