{ W Speaking of Sports The managers of the teams in the New Britain Industrial Baseball lea- gue met last night and made plans for a final game for the season to be staged Tuesday, August 23 at Walnut Hill park. i The final settlement on the game will hinge entirely on the outcome of the games to be played tonight at Walnut Hill park. If the P. & F. Corbin team wins tonight and goes into a tie with the Stanley Works for first place, the game on August 23 will be for the championship of the league between the two teams. . It the Corbin team should lose and the Stanley Works team thereby be- come the pennant winner, then a star team picked from all the other glubs in the league, will be formed and will oppose the Stanley Works on the date. This game has been arranged so that the Industrial league will be able to recoup some of the financial losses already suffered this year. The managers will meet at the Y. M. C. A. again tomorrow night to make definite plans regarding the final windup of the league. New unjforms donated to the po- | lice basebl team by the lawyers of | the city, were received yesterday by | Manager Thomas Dolan. They will | be worn for the first time in the first game with the Meriden department team on Wednesday, August 24. No action was taken by the park board at its meeting last night with regard to renting out Memorial fleld in Willow Brook park for foothall this coming season. Two applications were received for the use of the park on Sundays. One was from Promoter Peter Perakos and Manager Edward J. Dailey of | i Cincinnati ..

Pittsfield 4, Waterbury Bridgeport 5-1, Albany 3-0 Springfield 4-4, Hartford 2-2 the All-New Britain football team and the other was received from the | Rangers A. C. A lengthy discussion was indulged | in by members of the board but it was decided to withhold decision o the matter until next Tuesd: t. 1 At that time a public hearing will | be given on the matter. | Alderman William H. Judd who was at a mecting in City hall was asked to attend the park board meet- ing and he stated that in fairness to any club or person interested in renting the field, that a public hear- ing should be held on tlre matter. | He said that there was some criti- | cism on the part of several in the vast of the manner of renting out the field. Judge William Mangan sald that lust season the promoters of the All- New Britain team were the only ones to make a bid for the field and any criticism of the methods wused in renting the field were unwarranted. | The question not on the boards last night appears to be whether the irk board will seek to get the usual venue from the field. Manager Dailey of the All-New Britains team i ted that he had offered a rental $75 per Sunday or a privilege m‘[ ) per cent of the gate receipts to | park board. This was the price | vlaced on the fleld last year and it is a question whether the Rangers \. C. can meet the price or not., sta of In former years when there were cnly & comparatively few seats at the fleld, the All-New Britain team has been the only club in the city seeking the privilege of renting the iield. Now that there are enough seats for 10,000 spectators at the field, other petitions have been re- | coived. Just what action will be taken on he matter is a question that not be decided until the park by meets next Tuesday night to h the arguments. an- Following the meeting last night, the promoters of the All-Ncw Brit- ain Football team withdraw their petition, will probably hold off next Tuesday night. They state that they cannot agree | a policy of alternating at the! 1d because of the fact that there re not enough games on the road | fill the dates on which another team will be using the gridiron at Memorial Field. Peter Perakos stated but until after following conference, that after the disastrous | season last year, he would unless he could be guaranteed a place on which to play. It may be that the promoters of the team will investigate to seek another field, but that is hardly likely, as there is none available. There {s a probability that plans or the formation of an All-New sritain football team will be entire- v abandoned becauss of the turn in » vents brought about by the peti- on of the Rangers club for use of Jemorial Field won Sunda; wction, however, is / lefinite.

Its first evidence will be the at- {tempt of the Britlsh women's team, led by Kitty McKane Godfree, to win back the Wightman cup in the jteam matches with the home forces, jled by Helen Wills, at Forest Hills tomorrow and Saturday. The ond feminine challenge to the native defense comes in the national wo- men’s championships, also at For- est Hills, the week of Aug. The crest of*the tide will be reached in September, when France's great team Is expected to make ja sensational bid to win the coveted Davis cup from the Amer- ican veterans, “Big Bill' Tilden and ittle Bill” Johston, at Philadel- phia. The climax will be the battle |for individ honors at Forest {Hills, with Tilden seekihg to regain the crown that Cochet knocked off ond LaCoste picked up in last year's American championships. Slanting at prospects from th point of view, the United States ap- pears to have a better chance of successfully repelling the women's |invasion that it has the men's. | This is chiefly for the reason that |in Miss Wills, America has the star |generally recognized here and labroad as the successor to the |world's title that Suzanne Lenglen held for so many years. The 21-year-old California girl, in {her triumph at Wimbledon, has al- ready shown her mastery over most lot the players who will be her main |rivals in the Wightman cup as well as the National championship matches. > «t.| In additlon to Mrs. Godtree, sho may have keen competition from a few of her countrymen, such as the 2 |ruling champion, Molla Mallory, and ;unolhvl‘ Californian, Miss Helen Jacobs, but critics are unanimous in expectation that Miss Wills {will regain the title she was forced o default last year. Tilden and Johnson have written America’s most brilliant tennis his tory. They are still a pair, veterans though they may be, but the conviciton has grown that {they cannot much longer repel France's threat of greater youth as well as perhaps equal skill. Together Tilden and Johnston won three out of four singles match- es in the Pavis cup challenge round last year, enough to clinch the de- fense of the famous trophy. They may do so again this year, with Til- den aiming at a come-back and Johnston conserving his stamina for the big battle, but the odds will be less pronounced in their favor. Johnston has always been a nem- esis to the Frenchmen but Tilden s had to give and take in his t with them series, nallenge may such as, round, uncork the Davis America’s | enough stufi check the | French thrust but it will be more { aitricult for either Tilden or John- Iston to wade successtully through the week of National championship |singles competition afterward. John- ston, with his limited store of stam- ina. finds it especially difficult to n of keen matches. Tilden, anxious to regain his crown, will be the main American hope in the Nationals but even “Big Bill's” resources will be severly taxed. On any one day he may be pable of disposing of any one of France's stars—Cochet, LaCoste or Borotra—but it would take,the Til- den of his super-days, in all proba- (bility, to turn back their combined attack.
