New Britain had a first half lead 6 to 0 and it went into the second half eonfident that it would win only to be surprised and trampled upon by the Hartford tegm as It scored a one-sided victory. Nothing in the world resembled that second half better than the fourth quarter of the New Britain High-Stamford High school game Saturday. It would probably aid the team considerably if it would discard the “J-don’t-care-we're-licked” attitude and bring back the old fight which made the Donnelleys, Flannerys, Curtins, Dave Dunn, Bill Burns, Henry Zehrer, Pat O'Brien, John Grip and Gay Bromberg stars in their day. New Britain High appears to be a poor bet in the coming game with Hartford Public High school. The Red and Gold team was able to score only a 7 to 0 victory over the Bulkeley High school team while Hartford defeated Bulkeley High school eleven 25 to 0. \Games with Coast Guard Junior Varsity, New Haven Hillhouse High school, Vermont Academy and Hart- ford Public High school rre left on |y the schedule. It will take all the fight there is in the team to win over the New Haven, Hartford and Vermont teams. New Britain High school squad was given a day off yesterday after- noon. This should be welcome to the number of injured players who will have an opportunity to rest. Burns, the new end who will re- port to the Nutmeg team, was & former captain of the Vi team, He will replace Carl Brink in the New Britain lineup. Manager Henry Zehrer will try to sign a backfield man before the Hartford game Sunday. Approximately 20 candidates are reporting regularly for the All-New Britain girls' basketball team the greater part of whicp are girls from the Y. M. C. A. industrial league. Denial was made by Coach Ralph Recano that the team has already been picked and he wants it under- stood that all girls are welcome to try for a place.

If Anna Pirtkerwics displays the scor- {ng ability in the games that she has shown in practice she should be & hard one to stop this year. George Stallings got players for his Montreal team this year from the House of David. And if that isn't going into the bushes for a player, what 1s?

Returning to the Nutmeg football team it apears at this time as if the schedule for the rest of the season is completed. Next Sunday the team plays the Hartford Giants and the Sunday after it plays the Stapleton team of Leng Island. Then the sec- ond game of the Hartford-New Britain series will be played and three weeks from next Sunday will be the time for a third Hartford- New Britain game if each team win lone game.

However even with the famous “Dazzler" in the line-up the Robins were eliminated as pennant con- tenders by the New York Giants just two days before the close of the 1924 season.

The next year he won 18 games, but lost 15 and struck out 197 hitters. In 1924, he was at the peak of his career, winning 28 games, losing six and atriking out 262 batters.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1928 BY JIGGER TALKS OF GOLF PLEASURE Comments on Two Friends Who Get Greatest Enjoyment (BY JIGGER) Last week we played with two men who are quite out of the or- dinary run of average goifers. Each represents, in his own separate way, a distinct illustration of what many of us crave. This is progress, quick improvement in his golf game and freedom from mental obstacles that of what should be play and recreation. The first case was that of a man in late middle age. A man with athletic tendencies, but one who has exercised in other fields than on golf courses until two months ago. Be fore August the royal and ancient game held no appeal for him. Then he took up golf. He collect- ed from obliging friends a varied collection of clubs, some of which But he over- came that handicap with a knack for the game. That coupled with a perfect golting temperament, made him quite a falr player in a short time. One of the players in the four- some lent him a couple of good irons and from then on the novice's improvement was noticeable. He played them as though he used the clubs for years. He was content to allow each club to do its appoint- ed duty and he did not strain him- self trying to get 200 yards with a midiron. In other words he did not “press.” He swung easily into every shot. A feat many of us have not yet learned to do. That man, with a set of clubs udapted to him, and another year of experience, will be able to hold his own with half of the players he meets on the courses. The other man is young . He too, always has been inclined to athletics. But he learned to play golf recent- ly. He started right, under expert guidance. The mark of the pro- fessional is on him. With his woods and irons his swing and stroke are jexecuted with a rhythm and snap that few beginners acquire. Only THATS NoTwi A BIG i AND TWO UPRIGHTS)) STRONG MAN TovaY LIKE THE UKES HE'S AT THE FRONT END AND STARTS on the putting green has he ed from the professional styl with his putter he gets such good resulta that his form cannot be criticised. Full of pep and confidence in his business and social life this man has carried over inte his golf the same characteristics. He plays off from the tes and fairway with perfect abandon. Sometimes his shots go off the line but in such cases he appears to feel confident that he will recover position and distance on his next shot. But whether or not he scores par on & hole he has the satisfaction lof well played shots, and the zest with which he plays makes golf any- thing but work for him. Not only does his method of play add to his own enjoyment but it also provides a delight for his partner and commands respect from his op- ponents. If that man had time to devote to the game it would not be g before he rated a low handicap and the best players in his club would have to extend themselves to beat him in match play. It {s more common 10 run across such carefree players among the younger generation than in the ranks of the veterans. Nothing gets fon their nerves, they are not too serious about the game and they hit the ball without restraint. Fear does not grip them in its clutches. ‘When we see such a golfer in ac- tion we wonder if most of us could not play a better game by throwing to the winds some of our inhibited caution and let ourselves go into a more free and easy game. Along with our anxiety to look up to see where the ball is going are we not prone to be too carcful in making the stroke? Many of us have tried about everything else we ever read or heard abou. to improve our game and still the hoped for improvement has net arrived. Why not take & lesson from the youngsters, who are imitating the pros, and go in for a whirl at the free and easy style? At least it would add a thrill to the game even if it did not bring bet. ter results immediately. In the long run we suspect that getting out of a cramped style wouldn't hurt us much but it, at least, would give us the appearance of playing rather than presenting us as men working at the divot digger's trade. Reverting to the older novice, we Judge that he will continue to im. prove with practice so long as he is WHAT'S Tg MATTER Wit YouR BACHK PAT. OF.

Se long as his mind is not clyttered up with an accumulation eof theeries about the “science” of the game. Just 30 long as he continues to play naturally as he does now he may rest content that his game will im- prove to a point reasonable in his BRITTON BEATS GONEN IN HOLYOKE CONTEST Former Welterweight Chomplen of World Ovtpeints Oppensas By Wide Margin ot Valley Arema.
