Speaking of Sports Word received from F (Chucky) Wojak who is playing With the Decatur, Ill, team shows that the local boy has landed \\i(ll‘ a bang back into league baseball. | In the first game in which he played, “Chucky" walloped out threc hits aul also copped a prize for making the longest hit of the day in the pirk. Kensington has always done things rightly aud the opening of the base- bl scason Saturday afternoon is certainly going to be no exception. Plans ave already in the works in the South End town to have St. Paul's T. 'A. B. drum corps out to parade about the town and lead the grand march®to the bascball field while i is cxpected that Mrst Seleetman Cirter will toss ont the first ball, With the lneup of candidates who ave trying for places on the Kensing- ton team, the Paper Goods town will be one of the leaders in the Con- necticut state league, it appears. Berg and Huband, the battery which kept the Corbin Ited Sox on top throughout most of last season, will be performing for IKensington this Year and this forms a dire threat to 21l other teams in the ‘league. The Falcons start off in the Con- necticut state league next Sunday wlien they meet the Kensington . team at St. Mary’s field. The | Falcons are building up a strong club and Meriden, Manchester, Bris- tol and Torrington will have to travel at top speed to keep hoth the New Britain and Kensington teams down. The Falcons will also practice Thursday night of this week at 6 o'clock at St. Mary's fleld. Coach Ray Regley has decided to atart on A campaign to develop the hitting strength of the team.

The weighing-in ceremonies, just a mere formalily because both men are down to weight, is the only pro- ceeding before their gloves are laced on to their very busy fists and the 30-minute session of fighting begins. Th: bout is listed for ten rounds and the indications point to ten of the liveliest rounds seen in a Con- {necticut ring in some time. There |is nothing which would indicate that |the bout will be terminated early by |a Knockeut, for meither Day nor | Kaplan is eredited with possessing a |murderous punch, but neither man {can be beaten for giving real battle. For the past threc weeks hoth |Kaplan and Day have been in seri- |ous training for this meeting tonight |and the call to battle will find them {on keen edge. 1t scems to be a |foregone conclusion that for thrills the cxhibition to be given by this pair will be the feature of the year and an over-capacity crowd s ex- pected to jam its way Into the New Haven sports anditorium. Kaplan remains the favorite to win the verdict—he will have to to continue in the game and will un olthe doubtedly hang up if he does not [come through—and the odds are {high. But with all the favorites and high odds Day will enter the |ring as the choice of a deterguined |few who are weighing the two men on their present merits, The attraction of the main bout, |the popular prices of $1.50, $2.50 and $3.50, and the fine supporting card whic) has been arranged, all comhine to point to a large evening. The semi-final of the card is a main bout in itself, for in this Bobby Mays, ex-lightweight champion of the state, looks up with Joe Tra- bon, of Kanusas City, a hardy fighter who several months ago gave Kap- lan a hard battle at Rochester. Tra- bon will give Mays all kinds of trou- ble and there are many picking him to win. Trabon passed up a main bout at Rochester to meet Mays here, the idea heing to get before a Connecticut audience and to secure another shot against the Meriden Suzz S Jolnny Scalzi, Bridgeport's fav. orite featherweight and a real com- ler in the pro. ranks, tops off the preliminaries fn a s&ix round hout against Murray Fuchs of New York, and a second six-frame go looks zood with Pinkey Kaufman of Hart- ford, lined up against Tony Tessa SHoW, A MAN GIWING IMITATIONS o -TH' VoLl OF CATS OA A FEHCE GOIN' MEE-OWR-R-R-OWR < AN' T WAS -TH?
