B Y Speaking of Sports President Jack McGuire of the Junior City League, has called a meeting of the managers of the teams in the loop to be held Mon- day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in City Hall. Various matters are to be discussed including dates for post- poned games. The ending of the Industrial leage last night with Corbins scoring a clean-cut victory over Fafnirs, causes the pennant to be held in abeyance awaiting the settling of a tle between P. & F. and the Stanley Works. These two teams will get together at Walnut Hill park on Tuesday af- ternoon, August 23 to decide which shall claim the pennant. The stan- ley Works will be closed down all next week and for that reazon, Man- ager McConn {s afraid that he couldn’t get his team together. There will be a public hearing given by the park board next Tues- day evening in City Hall to accept petitions from athletic clubs in the city who are desirous of renting, Memorial Field in Willow Brook | park on Sundays for football. At the present time, the All-New Britain Football team and the Ran- ger A. C. have submiited petitions for the use of the field and at a meeting held the other night the| board was unable to arrive at a sat- | istactory agreement with regard to which team should have the neld.i If the board decides to allow the teams to alternate, there is a strong possibility that the All-New Britain team will withdraw from the field | because of the fact that the pro-| moters feel that it would be a Igsing | proposition to attempt to stage home | games every two weeks. | The battle between the Corbin Red Sox and the Falcons is on. Man-; agers Tobin and Cabay got together last night and completed all details ! in connection with the proposed | series to decide the champlonship | of the city. Many fans have asked the ques- tion why Kensington hasn’t been in cluded in the championship race. For the past two years the Kensing- ton team has heen included in plans | for a play-off for the city title but! this year. the team has been left out | in the eold. A fine line may be drawn to say that Kensington isn't a part of New Britain but, this has never been thought of before. Both the Red Sox and the Fal-| cons are planning, it is understood to stage individual series or game< with the Paper Goods town team CITY LEAGUE GAMES First Division Teams to Meet Those in Second Half at Walnut Hill Park Tomorrow. .

The Burrtts will play the rebuilt Tabs on Liamond No. 1 at 4 o'clock in the feiture game of the after- noon. The Burritts are still charg- ing madly through the league and sweeping aside all opposition, but the T. A. B. aggregation has been greatly srengthened by the addi- tion of rew players and should make the leaders play at top form. The Piates face another tough propositior in the Speedboys, whom they bardy managed to defeat in the first round of play. Charley Miller's foys got only two hits off Richtmya and must do hefter than that if hey are to repeat their previous victory over the improved team of youngsters who will take the fielc against them on Diamond | No. 2 a 2 o'clock.

DELANEY AWARDED BOUT ON A FOUL (Continued from Preceding Page) darted like long whip into Paolino’s face but e became careless and a wild right fo the side almost drove Jack through the ropes. He came back viciously, plastering Paolino with a two handed body ramming that didn’t bother the Spaniard a bit. In close Paolino landed four stiff jolts to the body and coming out drove a hard right hook to Jack’s neck. The procession was on again, Jack stabbing and beating through openings as Paolino missed but kept plodding forward. They were in a clinch at the bell. Round Five—They came right back into the clinch but neither could gain an advantage. The Span- iard's curling left wound around Delaney’s neck, costing him two right jolts to the chin. Paolino threw a long right into Delaney's body just before Jack's left to the chin turned the Basque half way roynd. Jack swapped two rights to the body for his own left deep under Paolino’s heart. The Basque missed Jack's chine by a foot with a long left swipe at the gong. Round Six—Dancing gracefully on his toes, Delaney speared the Basque three times with lefts to the head. Paolino drove forward and nearly fell through the ropes as Delaney hooked him full on the chin with a left. Still plunging forward with blood now coursing from his nose, Paolino hammered a short right to Jack’s ribs and followed with a right hook to the chin. Pecring over his own as well as a dozen of Delaney's | gloves, Paclino foliowed Juck into a corner. He alinost fell and Delaney wred him - with a right to the Jack was hitting with hoth hands to the chin when the bell | rang. Round Scven—Delaney hardly breathed heavily in his corner while Paolino’s handlers sponged his gory face frantically. The rights were thudding again in to Paolino’s head and his left eye was now cut. Pao- lino lunged in close, missed, and took Delaney's short right full on the chin. rissed a low swing. Paolino tri to shake hands with the referee. The Basque swung three more lefts in low and the re- feree chased him to his corner, awarding the battle to Delaney on a foul after one minute and 57 seconds of fighting in the round. Preliminary Bouts Dick Fullum, Yonkers middle weight, and Felix Sportiello, rugged importation from Italy, fought four fierce rounds to a draw in the open- ing preliminary of the Delaney- Uzcudun fight tonight. Both scored knockdowns, Sportielto with a short right to the chin in the second. and Fullum with a left to the head i NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1927. the third. Fullum weighed 159 1.2, Sportiello 160. Hilario Martinez, colorful junior lightweight from Spain, whipped Sammy Vogel, clever New Yorker, in a 10-round preliminary. Martinez gained the verdict through his stiff | body punching that had Vogel wob- bly in the final session. The weights were Vogel 141, Martinez 140. Dave Shade, veteran California middleweight, outslugged Joe Ander- son of Covington, Ky. in a slam bang 10-round semi-final. David was altogether too fast for the southerner, making him miss fre- quently and leave wide openings for clean wallops to the head and ribs, but both mixed at a lively pace. Shade rocked Anderson with a furious attack to the head in the second, third and fourth rounds, and started blood streaming from the southerner’s nose in the fourth. Anderson rallied furiously at times but could not cope with the Cali- fornian’s attack. Anderson put on a sensatiqnal spurt in the closing round but was outpunched. He weighed 159 1-2, to 157 1-2 for Shade. T0 PLAY CHURGH LEAGUE CONTESTS {Four Games to Be Staged af Willow Brook Park Tonight It the meteorological hoodoo |which has been pursuing the Inter- |Church baseball league for the past {month can be shaken off the trail, {four games in the ecclesiastical loop {will be played at 6:45 o'clock this cvening at Willow Brook park. Three |of them are regularly scheduled en- (zagements and the fourth a play-off lof a washed-out affair. Both of the prominent contenders will face hard teams and good crowds are expected. The First Lutherans, now riding | | - iteh crest of a wave of victories which {has swept them into first place, have |the Stanley Memorial team as op- ponent this evening. The Swedes |have captured eight games in a row and appear to be headed for the pennant, but the Stanley Memarial outfit has had time to rebuild itself and, if it can conquer unsteadiness afield, should be able to slug its way on almost even terms with the lead- ers. The game will be played on the “grass diamond.” The St. Matthew's German Luther- jans, who fell to the position of run- iners-up when the Swedes defeated {them last week, must tackle the {team which handed them their first |defeat of the season—the South Con- |eregational church. The St. Matts imay not be at full strength, but they {will throw in plenty of strength from their large body of reserves and will be hardly weakened at all. The South church will have its full ine-up on the field and hopes to ex- tend its run of victories to five. This being the postponed game, it will be played “in the jungle.” On Diamond No. 2 the First Bap- |tists will engage the Swedish Beth- |any team. The latter combination has played good ball all through the vear and is favored to win this eve- ning, but the Baptists have a trick of pulling the unexpected and, even with Keiffer missing, may spring an upset. The Center Congregationallsts and Everyman's Bible class will meet cach other on Diamond No. 1. The E. B. C. is now represented by one of the strongest teams in the league and has been giving the two leaders |heart qualms in its recent games. The Center church has been riddled by illness and vacations, but much of its early-season strength will be back in the line-up this evening.
