?Spee'akingi of Sports “Manager Cal is evidently talk- Ing only for " is the comment of Masager Eddie Moore of the on team on the statement talle by Cabay yesterady. “We stand ready to meet him at any time he says but he evidently doesn’t want to play us. If he wants to teet with us and talk terms, then et him designate the time and place through the mewspapers. Any' pub- dic place in New Britain except the Falcon club is agreeable to us. We would rather meet in a newspaper “Any games that we have on our Ust will not prevent us from meet- Ing the Falcons. Manager Cabay says that he has s0 many series in the works that he Is afraid that he won't be able to find dates on which to play Kenstngton. I would like to remind Cabay that there are several other teams in New Britain that he hasn’t yet signed up. KFor instance, there is the American Legion team, the Burritt Juniors, or any other team in the Junior City league. There are the Pirates, the West Ends and the teams in the senior City league. There in also the Wash- ington team, champion of the Ro- tary Boys' league.” “It he is out to play all these teams, he will certainly make a great recerd for his team this year. Most of these teams will play him for nothing except the glory of playing the Falcbns.” “That appears to he Cabay's in- tentions, However, if he wants to play migs with us, let him come out in the open. We haven't anything 10 hide and 1 can’t see what he has. ‘There 18 only one explanation to the people 1n Kensington and that is that Manager Cabay has a very bad case of cold feet “We are sitting pretty financially here in Kensington. We don't owe any money for our baseball tcam and although we haven't made any, we stand even on the board which ia botter than other teams can say. We are not out for the money but it certainly does get our goat to hear Cabay raving about this and that championship when he is side- stepping Kensington.” “No matter whether we play the alcons or not, 1 am convinced that 1 have succecded in smoking Cabay out of his hole. His purpose s very wvident. My challenge for a scries £till stands and if he doesn't want a scries, my challenge for a single game in any public park in New Hritain with nothing except the game at stake, still stands.” “Furthermore, I will at any time post a bond with any responaib person in New Britain in any rea- sonable amount and Cabay can do the same and we'll play for that. In tact we'll do anything to play the I'alcons as long as the series is ar- ranged as it should be arranged.” “Kensington would be ashamed to contract for games With every kids’ team that is in existence, If ~we can’t play teams down here that can Kiye us a baseball game, then we don’t want to play at al “Manager Cabay has adopted an arbitrary attitude in this matter. He publicly states that he is ready to do business with Kensington at any time and yet he makes a proposition that no one but a team in despera- tion would accept. 1 hate to think that he is figuring on these games solely from a box office standpoint and for that reason, I would like to play him on any one of the following basis: 50 per cent for each team, 60 win 40 lose, 75 win 25 lose or win- ner take all. “Now if Cabay is ready to talk terms and he thinks his team is bet- ter than mine, let him produce. I don't figure that it is fair for Cabay 10 think he can hook up with any team with him taking all the gravy. 1t he has his mind on money alone, then I am sure he won't play us. It he isn't after the money, then he will play us, at least, one game in a public park where the public won't have to pay to see the game and where neither team will make any money.” “I and the officials of the Ken- sington A. C. stand ready to meet Manager Cabay and any of his rep- resentatives at any time next week to talk the matter over. We talked 1o Cabay before he signed up the Burritts but he didn't take us in order. y night next week will tind us ready to talk over the series with him. If Cabay doesn't want to talk business with us then he must stand gullty of having cold feet.” “Until he gets ready to talk, not hot air, but terms, let him keep on playing the Sokols, the American Legion or any other junior team and let him' pile up his record of victor- , But don’t let him chim any championship until he ..as played us. BARRED FROM TRACKS Terry Durggan and Frankic Lake Are Under Ban Because of Brawl at Hawthorne, Chicago, Sept. 1 (M--Because of their brawl in the paddock of the Hawthorne race track recently, Ter- ry Durggan and Frankie Lake, Chi- cago “Beer Barons,” have been banished indefinitely from all race tracks in the United States, Can- [ada, Mexico and Cuba. Durggan and Lake became in- olved in the brawl when they ob- jected 10 a claim made for one of their horses at Hawthorne. In the fight that ensued, it was charged that they drew pistols and threat- ened R. Z. Jenkins, Californja turf- man. James Mogee, a trainer, also came to their aid when they were attacked by a jockey, who attempt- ed to ald Jenkins. Durggan and Lake, who have a large stable, announced after the Hawthorne expulsion that they planned to quit the track.
