Berlin ws ASEBALL FANS "¢ RESENT ACTION Believe Kensington Team Shoutd Have Shot At Championship SERVICES IN CHURCHES August Wooding Funeral Place Today—Baseball This Afternoon—Mrs. !. Funeral Tomorrow—Notes. Takes Game Shofield Baseball fans of this community are considerably aroused by the lat- est action of the officials of the Fal- con baseball team of New Britain and the Corbin Red Sox team in ar- ranging a city champlonship serics without the regular annual inciu- sion of the All-Kensington team. For the first time in several years this community has been ignored in the selection of the teams who will battle for the title of city champ- fons of New Britain. It is pointed out that, while strictly speaking Kensington has no place in a New Britain champion- ship series, being outside of the city |ing her vacation at this time. limits, the line established this year is a fige one which was not appar- ent on other years when the All- Kensington colors were carried into each annual series. Last year the lo- cal squad, under the managership of Pat Buckley, fought a bitter bat- tle with the Falcons, Tesulting in a tie for the series before the season ended, and relentlessly squashed the Red Sox hopes for a title in the Hardware City. This year. under the direction ‘of Manager Dan Malarney, Kensington is ignored and the se- ries is being arranged without the local squad being given considera- tion. Several reasons are given by the authorities of the championship se- ries, It is pointed out that the All- K's suffered several defeats in the early part of the season when, against the judgement of a larger part of the local fans, Manager Ma- larney booked the Falcons before the team had hit ifs present stride. Falcon magnates declare that the issue between the two teams has been settled with concisively New Britain victories. The other main reason for the elimination of Ken- sington from the contest is the too- finely drawn assertion that Kensing- ton I8 not eligible for a New Britain championship series. From the All-Kensington camp, comes local reasons for the surpris- ing action. Officials of the Kensing- ton Athletic club blame the exclu- slon on money mattérs which could no be settled between the two teams. 1t is stated that a 35-45 proposition with & 20 per cent slice going to a Falcon’s official did not satisfy la- cal baseball officials and an offer from the local camp of “winner take all” was rejected by the Hardware City team. It has been promised by the All- Kensington leaders that a series will be arranged with some team, possi- bly the Corbin Red Sox, with which Jthe local squad will end the season. While the New Britain Sox have a fairly fast organization, the substi- tution will not satisfy a great por- tion of local fans who have looked forward to a settlement of last year's unfinished argument with the Falcons this season. 4 The last argument adds further dissension to a hectic season for the All-Kensington team. Its unlooked ! Porter and Sons, New for poor start early this season with its scarcity of good material from weather conditions and other impe- diments, have given the local clubJ one of the worst seasons of its ca- reer. It has been during only the last few games that the Kensington aggregation has shown anything of ts usual form and attendance at the games has been below paf. Boolings of teams from other parts the state have been hinted as * s and it is generally believed that the All-Kensingtons have lost much prestige during the present season. St. Paul's Church Mass will be celebrated at 8 and 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at St. Paul's church, Kensington. Rev. John C. Brennan, pastor, will offi- clate. Sunday school will follow the 10 o'clock mass. Sacred Heart Church Rev. John C. Brennan of Kensing- ton will officiate at the 9 o’clock mass at Sacred Heart church, East Berlin, tomorrow morning.

Bascball Today The Kensington Congregational church baseball team will meet the Eroad Brook squad this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Percival avenue fleld, Kensington. Kensington now stands second in County Y league with only their today’s rival standing between them and the set goal. To- day's game should decide the local team’s chances at making the grade towards becoming league leaders, and Coach Phillips has rounded his charges into what he predicts will be winning form.

Fiske, pastor of the church, will return to this town in order to officiate at the services. Burial will take place in Trinity cemetery, Portland, Conn. Registrars’ Meeting A small amount of business was transacted at the meeting of the registrars which was held yesterday afternoon and evening. Evidently few local residents are desirous of changing their party on the caucus lists of the town, according to the slight attendance at the recent ses- sions of the registrars. All-K's to Visit The All-Kensington baseball team will tour away to Taftvile tomorrow to take another wallop at the Taft- ville squad. So far the teams have divided their victories, each winning on the other's grounds. According to the schedule of the host team being too polite to take the game, Ken- sington should end up the three game series with a victory. The Legion league, in the mean- time, “works in a mysterious way, its wonders to perform.” If there will be a game this week-end, it is not known just which teams will take part in it. Leaders of all three squads in the race state that the schedule is so mixed up as to make it impossible to discover just who is supposed to meet who. Several games have been declared forfeited be- cause teams in the league have fail- ed to put in an appearance at the fleld. Those teams penalized for their non-appearance have pleaded ignorance of the fact that they were supposed to play and the mix-up is general. It is thought that Legion officials will get together in the near future and put the teams in their proper places to prevent further squabbling as to dates. To Return Soon Postmaster and Mrs. Bidney M. Cowles of Kensington are expected to return to this town on Tuesday, August 16, following a two weeks’ vacation spent in Massachusetts. ys' Club Wins.

News from Washington that the state department had received a Imessage from Ambassador Jacob Schurman announcing the probabil- {1ty of the Caspar Bi-plane Germania landing here had created interest in aviation circles. If the flight of the Germania should be successful, the pilots would be eligible for the Boston chamber of commerce's newly- | posted prize of $25,000 for the first ! Europe-to-Boston flight.

The machine, which is an electrical device patterned after the modern typewriter, is designed to T e messages from other police stations without the aid of an oper- ator. Messages may be transmitted to other departments having the same service by simply typing the message, a copy of which appears on a large roll of paper attached to the machine. The key.board, in addi- tion to the various letters of the al- phatbet and numbers up to 10, has keys used for carriage return, feed line, letters and figures. Six other machines have already been installed in the state New Britain, w Haven, Hartford, Wil- limantic, Manchester and Bristol are included in the present loop and Naugatuck, Danbury and Middle town are to be added next w Representatives of the Southern New Enfiland Telephone company. owners of the machine, stated today that early next year Ansonia and South Norwalk will also be added and other cities will be brought in just as soon as such cities authorize the necessary expenditure. It was also stated that the system would be ex- tended to include Massachusetts in the event it proved successful in Conecticut and in that event, cities in the Bay State would be cut in with the loop serving Connecticut. It is expected that within a year approximaely 18 cities in the state will be equipped with the new serv- ice. The telephone-typewriter, or tele- type as it is also known, will receive words at the rate of 40 words a minute. It also has a similar trans- mitting capacity but the speed in sending rests almost entirely with the operator. For the use of this service, the city of Bristol is to pay the South- ern New England Telephone com- pany a rental of $50 a month. The rental charge is based on the size of the city, Hartford for instance, being obliged to pay $125 a month. The machine remains the property of the telephone company. Telephone representatives yester- day cited a case of the value of the machine. Last week, a message was received via the teletype by the Meriden department from the New Haven police to the effect that a youth had escaped from Cheshire. Within a minute after sending the message, New Haven received a reply from Meriden that they had the man in question locked up. The machine was placed in opera- tion for a short time yesterday afternoon but some adjustments were found necessary. It is expect- ed that the new service will be com- pletely adjusted and in operation some time Monday. Mothers’ Club Picnic The Mothers’ club of the Baptist church will hold a picnic at Rock- well park on Tuesday afternoon August 16th. A basket lunch will be enjoyed.

But 28 of the number in question attended the summer school sessions. Amateur Card Well Atteaded Approximately twenty-five hun. dred fans paid admission to Muzzy Field last evening to witness the card of amateur bouts staged ’q the Park Athletic club. Although but eight bouts were originally scheduled, twelve were put on dure ing the evening. Most of the bouts furnished plenty of action, but the real go of the evening was between Henry Bell, colored, of Hartford, and Charlie Rasmussen of Terryville, Johnnie O'Keefe of Hartford, ama- teur featherweight champion of Connecticut who refereed this bout, {met with considerabls disfavor when he awarded the decision to Bell. Both William J. Dufty and Raymond J. Casey, the judges, voted the bout a draw and it was at first so an- nounced by Announcer John Fitz- patrick. O'Keefe, however, disagreed With the judges and awarded the verdict to Bell. It was later ex- plained that draw decisions were not permissible in amateur Louts. “Hon- est” John Willis of New Britain refereed several of the bouts and his appearance in the ring was ac- claimed with applause. The resulte of the evening’s bouts were as fol- lows: 112 pound class—Ed Lawson of Ter) lle, won on a technical knockont in second round from Jack Rome of Hartford. 126 pound class—Nick Christie of Bristol won on technical knockeut from Sanchos Girard of Hartford in second round. Girard was down for the count of ten in the first roummd but Referee O'Keefe permitted the contest to go into the sccond round 145 pound class—Charlie Stevens. colored, Hartford, won on a techni- cal knockout in the fourth rqund from Johnnie Baker of Bridgeport Baker had several teeth broken off and did not wish to continue. 156 pound class—Rudy Novak of Thomaston won on a technical knockout from Bille Rose of Terry- ville in the second round. Rose frac- tured a thumb during the en- counter. 120 pound class—Jack Sharkey of Bridgeport won on technical K. O. from Mickey Stone of New. Britain in second round. Stone’s handlers threw a towel in the ring when they found their man hopelessly outclass- ed and in danger of a knockout. 133 pound class—Mik Malliguazzi of Hartford, scored a technical K. 0. over Milo Norton of Terryville in the second round. 118 pound class—Paul Cavalieri of Bristol knocked out Frank Gravel of .Bridgeport in the third round.

Supernumerary Suspended At & special meeting of the board ot police ‘commissioners held last Tuesday evening, Supernumerary Poilceman Arthur Myers was sus- pended until further action by the board on charges of insubordination. Mayor John F. Wade presided at the meeting which was attended by Councilmen Raymond Crumb and Homer Judd, Chief Ernest T. Belden, Sergeant Daniel McGillicuddy, Po- liceman Myers and Attorney J. P. O'Connell who represented Myers. Considerable secrccy apparently surrounded the meeting and this morning when the *“Herald” repre- sentative called at the office of the city clerk to look over the minutes they were not to be tound in the |book in which the police board min- utes are recorded. The Information was passed out however that Coun- cilman Crumb who is secretary of the police board had instructed that if anyone asked to see the minutes they should be informed to get in touch with Councilman Judd who is also & member of the police board. However, he informed the writer this morning that so far as he knew there was nothing secret ahout the meeting. He willingly divulged the information regarding the suspen sion. The meeting which was called at the request of Supernumerary Myers lasted approximately three hours. It is understood that Myers protested because of the fact that he was no receiving a larger share of the work assignments, it being his contention that as he had served during the se- vere winter weather he was entitled to more consideration than other supernumeraries at this time. It is also understood that he intimated to Chief Belden that he “would proba- bly be used more regularly it he told everything he knew as did some of the other officers. Whan it was pointed out to him by the chief that he had worked considerably more than any other supernumerary, al- though he was one of the last ap- pointed, Myers stated that he would brifig the matter hefore the police |commission. The meeting last Tues- lday evening was the result. PRI VESSR -YESSR~- ISNT THAT NICE oF AIMTD WRITE ME
