One of the most interesting events on the program and one in which New Britain fans especially will be interested, is the five-mile mara- thon from the State Normal school in Stanley Quarter to the track at Memorial field. Because of the pres- ence of Dan Healey, local distance star, in this event, his backers are | looking for him to outdistance the ! field, It will be an entire afternoon and evening of sports enjoyment for the fans of this cit Besides the trac and fleld events, there will be a base- ball game between the New Britain and Meriden department teams. There will be a sensational para chute jump from an airplane and there will be a tournament of 10 boxing bouts in the evening. An immense crowd is expected to turn out to watch the athletes in action and evidences that the at- tendance will be large is given through the tremendous advance gale of tickets For many boxing fans, the battle royal to be staged as the concluding event on the fistic program with five colored boys from Hartford as the principals, will be the first ever seen. Those who have seen an event of this kind. know what to expect | hut those who have never seen one. will never know what a battle royal 1s like until they view the spectacle in the ring.

He is g0 attached to the game of hasket- Pall that he wants to get in condi- tion and play ag He will begin training in the fall and at the end of each week he will undergo a physical examination fo see whether or not it has an adverse effect on him. Cronin, always on the opposing team whether it was a New Britain- Hartford game or a New Britain- Meriden contest, has had a desire to play with New Britain for several years, he says. He claims that in the fall of 1926 he wanted to try for the New Br tain ieam, but Manager Lampher did not think he could use him. Re- alizing that he was to have a winter ©of idleness after 15 years he quit training and was therfore an easy victim of sickness.
