" LOCAL TEAHS T0 STAGE WORKOUTS Falcons, Corbin Red Sox and Kensington to Practice Practisc scssions are in order to- day and tomorrow for two New Britain baseball clubs. The Falcons and the Corbin Red Sox have issued the call for second tryouts for can-_ didates for the teams and two days of real work loom ahead of the as- pirants for berths on the clubs. ‘The All-Kensington team will start ita initial work towards forming a strong club tomorrow at the Perci- val avenue grounds in Kensington. Large. numbers of baseball candi- dates are expected to attend the ini- tial workout as the enthuslasm in the south-end town is hotter this year than it has been in many sea- sons. The Faleons and the Corbin Red Sox got away to a good start last weck-end but little chance was giv- en either the managers or the coaches to see just what the candi- dates had in the way of bhaseball talent. Should the weather be more kind this week-end, stiff workouts Wwill be in order and in a few weeks, the clubs will be rounded into ehapo’ for their first games. With both of the local nines en- tered in state semi-pro leagues and Kensington bidding for a place in either one or the other, there ap- pears to be plenty of prospect for some good dlamond battles this coming summer- The local clubs are ' preparing to start off fast and on the right foot and for this reason every player who makes the grade right to a place on either team by delivering the goods. The same rule will hold true as far as Kensington is concerned. No one has bheen selected as yet for any position on the Paper Goods town team and from the candidates who show up for tomorrow's practice and the subsequent workouts will be se- lected the nine that will represent the club during the scason.

Hoppe and Layton meet in the final match tonight, cach with six victories and two defeats.
