Speaking of Sports Followers of New Britain High | achool baseball events are rooting for rain this coming week-end when the local team is acheduled to trek down to Norwich to meet the Nor- wich Free Academy team there. Norwich has a record number of victories on the baseball diamond and is easily the favorite to defeat New Britain this week-end. A well | known local weather prophet has | predicted rain for Saturday. | The return of Fred Saunders to | the team after a siege of illness has caused a number of changes in the lineup of the squad. He resumes his place at first base. Potts, who was stationed on the first sack, go to right field and Sowka goes from right field to center. Captain Hin- chey has been shifted from short to second and Kraszewsl a new- comer fn the regular ranks, Is sta tioned at shortston. As was to be expected, Louis | (Kid) Kaplan had a picnic with Georgle Day in New Haven last night. Only for the fact that Day 0 tough, he would certainly have becn forced to fold up before the end of the tenth round. Kaplan hit him at will and if his purpose wi to clean up the New Havener, he conld easily have done it As it Day had an cven margin in the and last rounds, Kaplan showed no signs of ill- ness or effects of his recent physi- cal troubles. He hit Day with everything and ept his piston lefls Jammering to the Havener face and body. Day stu A like irlwind in the first round and ended up like a whirlwind in the Jast round but that's all he did. He was holding on for almost all the rest of the time. Tew plan was forced to chase him around the ring on occasions all but turned his back on Meriden Mite at times. Day wanted Kaplan but he ecrfainly didn’t want much of Kaplan as he received last night Now ring critics are cartain that Hie Meriden mittster all set agamn | to start on a ring campaign which wil. bring him towards the light- weight title of the world. Without any more sethacks, Kaplan &hmyhlv k0 a long way before Leing stopped again. Sunday will be the signal for the outpouring of basehall fans to St Mary's field swhen the Kensington and I"alcons meet. Warnings are issued to those fans who ma it a practice of talk $ug a short cut through St. Mary's | cometery. In the fut ons | who use the cemetery as an avenue of approach to the baseball field, will be arrested and prosecuted as trexpassers. The practice has to be gtopped and recourse to the law appears to be the only way to do it. NATIONAL LEAGUE RACE FREE FOR ALL (Continued from Preceding Page) Renge, p . MG, p W illougliby.

INTERESTS ALUMNI Elisha H. Cooper Chairman of Gampaign in This City Alw ays.. a square USED CAR deal from the Buick Dealer The Buick dealer is in business to stay. His future reputation depends upon his treating used car buyers fairly. He wants to please used car purchasers because he knows that satisfied used car customers are pros- pective new Buick buyers. The man who buys a good used car —honestly rep- resented —at a fair price—receives splendid value in transportation. In his enthusiasm for the car he has bought, and the value he has received, it is only natural for him to look upon the dealer as his friend. / The Buick dealer has many such friends because he represents the true condition of the used cars he offers for sale. And that is good business—for the Buick dealer, as well as the used car buyer.
