PIRATES CHAMPS OF WESTERNLOOP Local Baseball Club Wins Pen- nant in League’s First Year The Pirates are the newly crowned champions of the Western Connecti- cut baseball league which completed its first year of exisfence last Sun- day. No games were played last Sun- day because of the heavy rain. The league consisted of six teams which included the St. Stanislaus of Meri- den; Watertown, Waterville, Derby, Kensington Tabs and the Pirate Many good games featured the fight for the pennant with the Pirates and the Meriden Saints furnishing the star tilt of the year in an eighteen inning battle. Rain raised havoe with the schedule and many games were postponed The locals hit a fast pace through- out the year and defeated both the Watertown and St. Stanislaus teams who were the favorites to cop the The Meriden police baseball team will engage the New Britain police team at Willow Brook park this atternoon in the second game of a home and home series. The Silver City club is anxious to score a win today and make it two straight for them this year. The Meriden team won last week's game played in Meriden after a stir- ring rally in the sixth inning and because of this the team is confident of lining the New Bfitain contingent up against the wall for the second time this year. The New Britain team had its final practice last night and every« thing is in readiness to repel the in- vaders today. Manager Tom Dolan feels satisfied that his crew will take the measure of the Silver City bris gade. Billy Kline, ace of the Meriden pitching staff, will again be on the mound against the Hardware City, contingent today, while “Slim” Po- litis will probably draw the assign« ment for the home club. A record crowd is expected out to watch the battle today, which will start promptly at 3 o'clock. FIGHT IN MERIDEN Five New Britain Amateurs To Box |clase.
