Speaking of Sports Well, well, we're going to have & little of the old-time Hartford- New Britain rivalry in sports be- sginning as soon as Sunday when the Blues and the Hartford Pion- cers step into action. Then again October 28, November 11, and pos- sibly November 18. And on Satur- day of that same week the annual Hartford-New Britain High school struggle will take place. —— Both the professional and the high school teams have golden op- portunities to clean up this year and their followers are looking to them to do so. It's a long time since both teams have finished on top. Well, if the Red and Gold team wins over Stamford Batyrday, the New Britain High school fans can look forward with confidence to the Hartford game. It all depends on Saturday's game. Bring on the roller hockey sea- #on, Harry Keefer has returned after an extended stay in Vermont. We're all looking forward to see- ing Harry back on the floor again and when we said floor we meant it. When Vermont academy comes to this city to play the New Britain High school team it will have the name of Westergren in its backfield lineup. Westergren is a New Brit- ain boy who played football for the first time in his life last year with the Blues. When the New 'Britain High school team goes to Stamford it is hoped that the players will not be crowded out of their seats by a lot of “ringers.” In the trip to Pitts- fleld the bus was filled with them and the players were “fagged out” when they arrived in the Berk- shires. X From the present outlook all the Nutmegs have to do is defeat the Sub Base and the Hartford Giant teams to win the state professional championship. Considerable improvement in the manner of conducting the team was noticed in the Nutmeg-Bridgeport game last Bunday when Henry Zehrer handled it from the side- lines. Some thought he left some of the substitutes in the game too long, but we think he had the right dope. Why take a chance and let regulars who are nursing injuries stay in the game when there are substi- tutes who should be given a chance to learn the team's style of play available. The battle Fitz an® pornett fought! in 1897 was repeated over the ra- dio the other night. That's one the experts ought to be able to pick, anyway. Babe Ruth, keeping up his tradi- tion visited a crippled boy in a St. Louis hospital. They probably had a good time talking over their trou- bles. We heard of a bloke Who clean- ed up at the race track yesterday. He took a hunch from the recent world series and bet on the horses that limped. Next fall, we understand, it will be suggested to Commissioner Lan- dis that the Yanks choose up sides and provide the customers with a few bascball games. With the Falcons receiving title of city champs and the Ken- sington nine of Greater New Brit- ain champions, peace has been re- stored in baseball circles and the bats and balls will be stored away until next year. Ray Begley is asked to :ommuni- eate with Manager Cabay of the Falcons at once. It seems Ray has moved and he failed to leave his telephone number behind. The Harvard-Army practice rivalry has taken a new turn. Firat the Cadets failed to stop the Crimson style of attack when the scrubs used it, while Harvard’s new plays pro- duced free scoring. Yesterday the Harvard scrubs trled Army forma- tions ‘and the varsity fell down on the defensive job. The Army play- ers stopped the contest by not scrim- maging yesterday. Joe McKenny, Boston college coach, has his own way of deciding who will hold varsity places. With an open date Saturday, McKenny in- tends to send his whole squad through a stiff scrimmage and let the regulars and subs settle the mat- ter among themselves. Georgetown plays New York uni- versity two weeks from Saturday. Fordham completed more than half of the paswes it tried against N. Y. U. Therefore Georgetown already has started developing a passing attack to use against the Violet. Lehigh has not shown much strength yet this season but it is not -because Coach Austin Tate has failed to recognize the weaknesses. After numerous experiments to find his strongest combination, Tate is working with each man to produce the best individual resuits. It was too hot for the jegulars to work at Princeton yesterday, but the second string men got & taste of real action. Rutgers came over for a 20 minute scrimmage session with the Princeton reserves and went back seven points to the bad. Chick Meehan has four new as- sistapts at New York university. The next opponent of N. Y. U, Rutgers, has & squad made up principally of former New York high school pla: ers 80 Meehan has called in all the ‘men on his squad who came up from the Metropolitan ranks to advise him as to their habits and weaknesses. The loud cheers from the north the | . weason, this year. ‘When it comes to close rivalries, Fordham and Holy Cross, who meet next Saturday, take the prize. Holy Cross leads in the series with eight victories to seven and 197 to 195 in points. FALCON TEAM TITLE WINNER (Continued from Preceding Page) in the state. Due to persistent challenges by the Falcons the After three sensational games, the Ken- winner Both teams play- ed sensational baseball but the “old" Kensington jinx, combined with the airtight pitching of “Coke” Wood- proved the Kensington nine, decided to play a series Greater New Britain title. for sington crew emerged the and won the title. man, Eastern league star, too much for the Falcons. However, these losses were not felt very keen- triumphs in the city series. Klatka Leads Batters Johnny Klatka, star frst baseman, captured the batting honors for the year by hitting the ball for an aver- age of .333. Klatka took the lead in the early part of the séason and held on throughout _the year. He batted 90 times and Crashed out 30 safe blow “Mickey” Noonan, veteran catch- er, and one of the best receivers in the atate, trailed Klatka and gave him a close battle for first place honors.

Atw s Pitchers “Lefty” Atwood proved to be the leading pitcher of the team during the scason. He took the mound 16 times and was returned the winner in 12 games. In mid-season he won ten straight games before losing. Atwood was also a good fielding pitcher and connected for hits in the pinch. Nichols won one game and lost three, Kania won one and lost one, ‘| Buckholtz won one and lost one and West lost the only game he pitched. Begley Deserves Credit Much of the credit for the sensa- tional work of the Falcon team must be extended to Coach “Ray” Begley. Begley was on his toes at all times during the games regard- less of the score and inspired his men to come through when the odds were against them. His Rnowl- edge of the national game proved invaluable in the pinches. Win 15 Games The Falcons won 15 games duging the season and were returned the losers in 9 games, They played many of the leading aggregations in the state including Taftville and Kensington.

Rielly 2 79 10 20 Vi 0 EJ\ i i i |Customs Inspectors e AS TIGER LEADER Defroit Mamager May Seck Ump's Berth Again Detroit, Oct. 18 UP—Failing, after two years of effort to bring up the Detroit baseball team to the place of prominence it once enjoyed as & winning combination, George Mor- larity has resigned as manager. The resignation was contained in a letter to Frank J. Navin, presi. dent of the club. Morlarity said the team's poor showing was due to “unfavorable circumstances.” The circumstances referred to were not set out in the letter. President Navin said the resigna- tion had been accepted but declined to reveal if a successor had been nlpwln!ed or was under considera- tion. Although Moriarity stated in his letter that long experience in the game had taught him to accept the reverse with the same spirit that ac- companies success, he was known to have felt keenly the failure of the team this year. Between seasons two trades that proved disastrous weakened the club in both the batting and fielding de- partments. They involved release to the 8t. Louis Browns of Lou Blue and Heinle Manush. Nothing was contained in the let- ter regarding the former manager's plans for the future but friends here were of the opinion he would seek a berth on the American league um- piring staff, where he served for 10 years before taking over the man- agerial reins of the Tigers. Meanwhile speculation was rife concerning the identity of Mor- farity's successor. Names mentioned included those of Stamley Harris, Fired in Detroit Area Detroit, Oct. 18 (A—The discharge on October 15 of 15 inspectors of the United States border customs pa- trol in Detroit was revealed today by Sumner C. Bleeper, director of the Michigan area forces. Sleeper said the inspectors were dismissed on orders signed by Ogden L. Mills, assistant secretary of the treasury from Washington. He de- clined to give any details as to the reason for the dismissals, but said the force soon would be recruited up to its normal strength from men who have passed civil service exam- inations.

Nigned to manage the Washington Senators for three years, Johnson returns to the club hie served for 21 years. New York, Oct. 18 (#—The Hat'tor Bucky Harris' services and a Stove leaguc season is bound to be a |tradc for or purchase of a pitcher success if for no other reason than or two. there’ll be little done be- that Walter Johnson is returning to the Washingfon ball club with which he played for 21 years. Speculations over what the Big Train will do at his old home should help pacify fandom during the long period between seasons. The club itsclf has set a good example for the great idol of all baseball so far as action is concerned. It lost one manager and picked within ten days’ time. But few if any spectacular moves appear ahead for Washington. Most of the changes will be within the club. Clark Griffith, president of the Senators, already has gathered in a big collection of fresh material. Outside of the deal which some club or another is expected to make up another Through the draft, purchases and recalls President Griffith has ups wards of 20 new men coming to the 11929 Benators. He recalled five, drafted two and bought the rest. Eight of them are infielders, some of whom probably will be exchanged | for pitchers, 8till another inflelder may come to the Senators, for gossip among | baseball men has it that Harris will ‘be traded to Detroit for second baseman Charley Gehringer. With Harris missing, the Big Train's biggest problem will be fill- |ing the second base post. Bobby Recves, who substituted for Harris in some of the late season games, will be back. Among other pros- {tween Washington and other teams. | pects are Jay FPatridge, formerly with Brooklyn, and Jack Hayes, re- called from Minneapolis. Partridge playing in the Southern association, hit around .330 for the season and was rated as one of the best flelding second basemen in the south, while Hayes' playing helped Minneapolis attain the runnerup position in the American association. New pitchers coming to the 8en- ators include Adolph Liska, Min- neapolis, Paul McCullough, Toledo, and Archie Campbell, 8t. Paul, all of the American association; Guy Cantrell, Baltimore, and Paul Hop- kins, Montreal, both of the Interna- .lional league. In addition to these will be Pitchers Clayton Van Al- styne and Horace Lisenbee, recalled from Minneapolis, and others. Infielders, in addition to Hayes and Partridge, picked up by Griffith include Pete Yoter, third baseman, Minneapolis, one of the hardest hit- ting infielders in the American as- sociation; Ernest (Mule) Shirley, first baseman, Birmingham; Charles Gooch, third baseman, Little Rock; and Grant Gillis, shortstop, Minne- apolis. Two new outficlders were bought from Birmingham to help Goslin, West and Barnes, the 1928 Wash- ington regulars. They are Elliott Bigelow and Melbourne Simons. Bigelqw is one of the best hitters the Southern league ever produced. This is a part of the park full of ball players that will report to the Big Train next spring. It will be fandom's fondest hope that he will be able to whip the squad into a pennant winning combination. QUIGLEY NOT ON FIELD Famous Baseball Umpire on Way to Japan, Who is not Officiating on Football Gridiron This Fall. 8t. Mary's, Kans, Oct. 18 (P— ‘The booming voice of Ernest C. Quigley will be missing from the nation’s gridirons this fall. The National league baseball um- pire, whose services also are in de- mand in many intersectional foot- ball games and on the basketball courts, is on the way to Japan. There he will umpire a dozen base- ball games, five of which are to be played by picked college teams in- cident to the coronation ceremonies for the new emperor. Quigley said Ty Cobb would manage one of the teams and Walter Johnson another. He will conduct in Japan short coaching schools, USES ROCKNE STYLE NICELY Experts believe that Oregon State, of all the schools who use Knute Rockne's football methods, has cop- ied that style the best. THEY DIDN'T THINK ALIKE Charley Allen, West Point half- back, has a brother, Halle, who is at the Naval academy. The navy Allen is quite a swimmer.
