That batile may decide the new Nationa) champions. There was no change in the situ- ation yesterday for the leaders in each league were returned victori- ous. The Giants and the Cardinals, however, both had close calls. The Glants apparently were doom- ed to defeat at the hands of Eppa Rixey and the Cincinnati Reds when the last half of the ninth opened. Here Rixey gave Bob O'Farrell, a pinch hitter, the only pass he issued. O'Doul ran for O'Farrell but was forced out at second by Welsh. The latter, however, scored the tying run on Andy Reesc's triple to right field, Joe Btripp fruitlessly protesting that spectators had interfered with his fielding of the ball. In this crisis, Leslie Mann came through with a single scoring Reese with the run that gave the Giants a 4 to 3 vic- game - The Cardinals were given a ter- rific battle at Brooklyn but finally edged out a ¢ to 3 win in 15 innings. Douthit's Texas league double scored Dabbit ‘Maramville with the winning tup/ Maranville got on base only " cause Del Bissonette fumbled his s rounder.

One more Cub defeat or one Cardinal victory and Chicago's last mathematical chance for the pennant will be gone. “The Pittsburgh Pirates needed moat of their 17 hits to score a 13 to 8. victory over the Boston Braves.

The opposition afforded by Stonewalls of Holyoke will been as nothing compared to the strength of the Bridgeport team A perusal of the roster of the team tends to show thut a crack eleven is to invade this city next Sunday. IYor ends, the team has Burcheski and Walker who were with Lafay- ette in 1925 and 1926, Fenwell, late of the New York University, and Sabo will bs at the tackle positions. Sleichert of the Connee- ticut Aggies and Smith will ba the guards, while either Brody or Davis will be in center. The backfield is fast and shifty and is composed of Suchanny. Eross of Villa Nova, Boyan and Mead of ‘rsinus college. Jackobowsky of Villa Nova will play fullback. The New Britain team will prac- tice tonight and ugain Thursday night in preparation for the game, Another workout, the stiffest of the entire week, will be staged Satur- | day afternoon at Willow Brook park.

It will prob- Olably be the same as last Sunday excepting that xhifts will be made in the backfield. Buckley will be placed halfback and zevich will probably be at quarterback.

BATTLE AGAIN IN the have wlevcoce 0 0 0 Kensingfon and Falcons Will Meet Again on Next Sunday After furnishing one of the most spectacular baseball battles of mod- ern times at St. Mary's Field last Sunday afternoon, the All-Kensing- ton and I‘alcon teams are girding the series to be played at the Per- cival avenue grounds in Kensington rext Sunday. The old cry of “Indian Sign” has come up again among the fans meaning that Kensington is wioss32532=> It is a known fact that, in previous city championship baseball series, iensington has had what appeared to be a team inferior in many re- speets to the Falcons but the Fal- cons were mever able to win. This bas led y fans to believe that the Kensington team has the “In- dian Sign” on ihe Falcons. Whether this is 0 or not, Man- ager John Cabay of the Falcon team issued a statement today in which he said that “Indian Sign" or no, the Falcons would even up the score next Sanday afternoon. He pointed out that only a “break” in the game when MeCl dropped a throw from Johnny Klatka to get a run- ner going into second, gave the Kensington team its one opportunity to score and win. Manager Eddie Moore of the Kensington team doesn't belicve in the “Indian Sign” business this se son. He stated today that the Ken- sington team demonstrated beyond doubt that it had the cdge on the Faleons last Sunday and he dently expeets to come through with three straight victories over 1ihe Falcons in the present series. The question of the Ifalcons play- ing the Burritts again is at a and- still at the present time. Just what dute or dates will be settled on re- mains beween Managers Cabay and Lasky. Kensington occupies the full at- tention of New Britain fans at the present time. Those who watched ame la week W ¢ carried laway with the spuctacular game | staged for their benefit.

A veteran team that has already won a championship, its prospects are exceedingly bright. Next to Illinois the most hope- ful groups appear to be at Wiscon- sin and Towa. Reports come of | abundant new material to add to |squads that remain farily intact from 1927 and squads that. toward the end of 1 were beginning to show great power. Wisconsin had a big, fast. rangy line last year but lacked backfield power and experience. The line re- mains. Rebholtz and Rose, two | great matural backs, will have the plunging of Smith, a sophomore, to help round out a strong attack. Wisconsin should have its hest team in several years. Towa also had an powerful line in 1927 and this year strengthens its backfield with Me- Lean, the pound plunger. As a | member of the Haskell team he was the highest scorer in the country two years ago. McLean will be sup- | ported by Armil and Glascow, both good backs with experience, and by Gensvold, who was ostanding as a auarterback on the freshman team. Purdue will be another dangerous team if Jimmy Phelan can find a line of average strength to help a backfield which may turn out to be the strongest in the Big Ten. “Pest” Welch, 199 pounds and fast, should he one of the season's outstanding Lacks, a perfect man aronnd whom {to build a versatile attack for he can kick or pass and is a remark- able ball carrier. Welch will have Carraway, @ prep school mate, and Harmeson, a heady quarterback, to help him.

Some strong replacements will b needed, however, to make that tcam a strong contender. Michigan lost practically all of its great team of 1927. The key men in that team were Gilbert, the west's best punter and an exceptional for- ward passer, Oosterbaan, a great leader and an end whose equal may not appear anywhere for a season or two, and Baer, an All-America guard. These men are gone and. with themy, many other veterans. Rich and Miller remain as a sound foundation for a strong backfield and the line has its elements of strength. Michigan has a great deal of building to do and must depend rather heavily upon new material, Minnesota, like Michigan, suffers severely from losses by graduation.

Only two or possibly three of the veterans were regulars on the 1927-1928 team, but the others saw considerable action during the #ea- son and have had the cxperience necessary to make them outstanding candidates for the quintet during the coming secason.

Albert Benjamin, also a regular guard, is expected to try out for the high school team. Foremost among the old men who are back for another year are Joe Goffa and John “Red” Compagnonc. Goffa can play any position on the floor and will probably be groomed for center, where he played at the end of last year, *“Red"” is an excel- lent guard. Tony Kerelejza, who oc- cupied a forward berth during the latter part of last season, is expected to find a regular place there, while Walter Grusha, sub forward a year ago, and Jake “Hoggo" Parparia captain of the 1927-1928 reser team and sub on the first team, will be among the most likely contenders for the other forecourt position, Joe Boubus, center, and Stanley Zembrowski, forward, are back from last year's reserve team. This reserve teum won the intermediate city championship. In addition there is a wealth of new material, most of which has had considerable experi- ence with the various teams within the club. Practically the whole Python team, which was runner-up for the intermediate city champio ship, 18 trying out for places on the club five. These new men include the great- est array of forwards ever placed at the disposal of Coach Ray Anderson, the ofiensive candidates being Adolph Markavich, Mike Paluch, Al- bert Rakutis, Matthew Paluch, George Rowinski, Leo Bancovich, and Leonard Anderson. For guard positions there are Joseph Normant, Carl Bochnert and John Winters. Winters and Rakutis are also pos- sible centers. In addition Ambrose Andrews, the first negro lad ever to try out for the club team, is in the fleld and is expected to land a berth on at least the reserve team, The club has established a rule that no player who has passed his 21st birthday may continue to rep- resent the club. This regulation is becoming a uniform one with Roys' clubs and will make games with other clubs easier to arrange. last vear the local organization did not observe this rule except for the Boston game, and the necessity of using two different line-ups proved a handicap.

The situation in amateur boxing circles in New Britain was given a thorough airing before the common council license committee at city hall (ast night, the meeting ending with the granting of « license to the Stanley Arena to stage bouts this season. A. 8. Perlstein, owner of the arena, made a special trip from New York to he on time for the meeting, and frankly told the com- mittee he was desirous of entering the boxing gamie whether it cost him money or fot. “If I lose, that's my business, and I won't ask' oue to help me out,” he said. got the arena and with connections in New Haven I think 1 can give the public of New Britain good shows and probably educate some of those who are not interested, to the extent that some new fans will be made.” John T. Lennchan of Hartford, representing the Mohawk A. C., said the club intends to be in the field again this season, ‘having been granted a license by the committee a few months ago. The committee made it plain that the danger of conflicting as to date might well be guarded against, because the ordi- nance under which the committee is operating gives it power to gevoke licenses, and Lennehan and ~Perl- #tein felt they would have no diffi- culty compromising in the field to the satisfaction of everyone con- cerned. John Whaler, representing the Hardware A. C., said it is his inten- tion to operite new talent shows be- cdause there are 50 few amateur box- ers in the game that the amateur field actuatly is non-existent since the A. A. U, expose. He was inter- erted in the Mohawk A. ¢'. shows last ycar and said the club lost $750 after having had a successful sea- gon financially the previous year. One show staged last year cost the club $1,350 before the doors were opened, Whaler said, and others were quite expensive, also, yet the public thought the game was a big mon maker. A profit of $175 to be divided three ways after Whaler had made trips to New York and Tsrooklyn, left little considering the time and effort cxpended. The meeting was quite heated for a time when Perlstein declared that he was a heavy taxpayer in New Britain and felt entitled to consid- cration to the extent of having the Mohawk A. C. declare whether or not the intent was to run amateur or professional shows. He feit he should not be held up; as he wanted Ito go out at once and prepare for ( the scason, and if he could not have | a license to conduct amateur shows | he would go to Commissioner Dono- | hue, who has charge of the profes- | slonal game in Connecticut, and "apply for a license to stage bouts of this nature. He demanded to know how many members of the Mohawk A. C. were New Britain residents and Whaler answered that James E. Burke of 133 S8huttle Mcadow avenue pays taxes in this city. Henry C. Zehreg, made applicatinn for a license to conduct football games in this city for the seasons of 1928 and 1929 and the committee voted to grant it for the present sea- son only, on account of the fact that |the personnel of the common coun- I cil and committees will be changed before the season of 1999 arrives. Zehver explained that his reason for wanting a license for hext season also was that promoters of the game in past seasons are watching the Nutmeg A. C. this season and if EYS SA BLoo-or DRESSED IN GING-UMTon.

C. should be protected against other bidders. He related that the promoters of the All-New Britain team of last season had the name incorporated and demanded a percentage of receipts for the use of the name, after the Nutmegs had gone to the expense of $35 for sta- tionery undef the name All-New Britain. Thas was an {llustration of the ends to which competitors for the promoting privilege will go, he said. William May, representing the Rangers, said the board of park commissioners has granted three dates this season to his team so that it will not be necessary for the club to be on the road every playing day. Zehrer told the committes this ar- rangement was entirely satisfactory to the Nutmegs, and the Rangers’ were granted a license. RETAIN HIS TITLE Sammy Mandell Stll Ooccuples Lightweight Thronc Despite Teche nical Knockout. Flint, Mich., Sept. 26 (M—Sammy Mandell still remained lightweight boxing champion of the world to- day due to the foresight of his Man. ager, Eddie Kane. Although he was the victim of a technical ‘knockout at the hands of Jimmy Goodrich in the second round of a 10-round bout here last night, Mandell's title was not af. fected because of a stipulation ine serted in the articles of the ree. ment by Kane, that Goodrich must weigh in over the lightweight limit of 135 pounds. A “round house” right swing that landed early in the first round broke Mandell's collar bone and although he finished the session he was un- able to respond to the bell at the start of the sccond round. A state boxing commission phy- sician diagnosed the injury as a fracture of the middle third of the left clavicle, Mandell was treated by a 1’ sician at his hotel and then his home in Rockford, ll. He j» ably will be unable to fight fo. cral months. MAY PLAY SERIES In Event of tie Between Cardinals " and Glants, Three Games Will Ee Staged. New York, Sept. 26 (®—In the event of a tie between the Giants and the Cardinals for the National- league flag, a three-game series will be played to determine -the cham- pionship. John Heydler, president of the National league. today interpret. ed “three-game" series to mean the same thing as references to the World sries as a “seven-game” af- fair—that is, three only if necessary. The National league copatitution, however, is not clear on the point, nor does it specify where any such games shall be played. Mr. Heydler said the date and site of any pley- oft would be decided by a telephone vote of the directors immediately after a deadlock.
