13 » @ Speaking H of Sports ; Many reason have been advanced 80 far this season for the lack of in- terest being shown in the start of work for baseball in this city. Therc is, however, only one cause for the | amuthy shown during the past week. | and that is the weather. Warm weather is bascball, Until the that really mean th. start blowing acros meadows no one ¢ get the fecling of bascball. To enthused over anything, it is necessary to have that peculiar longing for that particular jeet. This is true of baseball, redit the weather with being le 10 all good practice ses- To prove this contention, one has to look to the week just previous 1o nud remember the liordes of a1l devotees turned out for practice sessions on the various diamonds in the city. necessary Daliy bree spring is her the fields and tor n Like in all scasons of pust vears, | Just as soon as bascball weather is here to stay, the “bug” will be as busy as evc Then we will have some real developments along the line of the grand old pastime. New Britain will be centered in league play this year if plans of the local teams are realized. The Fal- cons and the Corbin Red Sox have signified that they are to enter a league and All-Kensington is a sure- fire bet to enter a circuit also. The Falcons and Kensington. it is reported, are to be members of the Connecticut State Bascball league, while the Corbin Red Sox will be members of the Central Connccticut Baseball league, Meetings of those interested in the formation of these circuits have been held for several ks but up to the present time the definite makeup of either circmt is, # is understood, very problematical. Some teams have definitely decided to enter but are not g0 keen about the prospccts for the coming year. Practico sessions will be held the Corbin Red Sox and the Ialco next Saturday afternoon. Tlhe Ial- cons will hold forth at St. Mary’ ficld while the Corbin Red Sox will be at Willow Brook park. Looking over the diamonds atf Willow Broow park will give those | who love baseball a good fecling. | er the direction of Park Su intendent Ralph Walnwright, c1 of workmen have accomplished won- ders there. by A close inspection of the grounds and revclation of the. plans in the works give conclusive proof that the Willow Brook giamonds will, hy far, be the bost in the city this year, The outficlds have been cleared of all trees and the infield surfaces have Leen covered with gravel and loam which will make them fast and al- niost perfect, | | The Kensington A, €. possesses one of the best baschall fields in this vicinity although unfortunately the location is rather out of the way. Is of the club are planning on ng with William J. Bryan, superintendent of the Connceticut Co., relative to bus service from Up- son's Corncr to the field this year. If there was such a service, it is probable that many fans from this city would be at the Kehsington Laseball park to watch the games | there each weck-end, Things arc moving very slowly : the Shuttle Meadow Golt club. T! tournament committec hasn't done very much in the way of starting | things because, it is said, of the poor weather. However, there will be plenty doing within the nest week or two and the season will be on in | full force within short time. Large number of golfers have lost no time or opportunity to get in | their strokes during the carly spring months. Doth at Shuttle Meadow and Sequin, there have been plenty of golfers working out the winter kinks uand there should be plenty of activily in the negr future. | The fact that the police werc | called on to stop incipient golfers from practicing on the grassy slopes of Walnut Hill park, is, to us, one | of the strongest arguments vor | of @ municipal golf course that could e offercd. lartford has its Goodwin Park and New Britain should have its golf course. Mayor Angelo Paone has al-| ways been a strong advocate of more | &pace for outdoor recreation and his ! «iforts in pushing park projects in | this city have borne much fruit. We | would suggest that he take under! advisement the question of a public | golf coursc for the city within a short time, | A project of this sort could easily be made a paying proposition and it | would be. used extensively, there is | no question of a doubt. Many in this city cannot see the game at all, but' let them get a club in their hands | once or twice and that is all that is | needed. We have scen some people who laughed at golf. laughed long | and Joudly. Then these same ones started to play and and no more whole hearted devotees of the sport can be found. We certainly would like to seek a golf course in thio city where de- votees of the ancient game could disport themselves to their heart’s content. Its arrival and the adoption of the suggestion is in- evitable. Eddy-Glover Unit, No. 6 To Elect New President There will be a regular meeting of Eddy-G.over unit No. 3, this eve- ning at 8 o'clock.
