When play was resitied. however the locals cut loose with their most brillian exhibition of the season, took the lead away rrom Litchfield. and held it in a dosperate, do-or-die fight which lasted all the way to the final whistle, King and Gerke were the Plain- ville stars the former accounting for 14 points and the latter for 10.

Negotiations have been in progress for the past fcw weeks and a final agreement was reached at last night's meeting, with members of the Burritt club coming into the |Falcon organization as full-fledged members. Such a consolidation makes the FFalcon club a strong gregation and with the acquisition of some of the best athletes in the city, the club can look forward to a successful baseball team mext sea- |son. It is the first great move in ath- letic circles since both clubs start- ed their activities some years ago. The rivalry heretofore was keen and the move to consolidate the best in athletic prowess is looked upon as the mosat logical thing inasmuch ax it will create a formidable array of baseball and basketball stars in the semi-professiona. fleld. According to plans, the consoli- dated forces will place three basc ball teams on the field—two under the nume of the *“Burritts” and one der the name of “Falcons”, which will be the mainstay of th~ organ- ization, compriscd of the best ath- tetic material picked from among all the members. The two *Burritt” teams may play in the city league and a junior league, while the main “Falcon” team will be comprised of the best baseball stars. With such combination, where the organiza- tion will have a “farm™ for the less experienced, but ambitious players, the Falcons may look forward to onc of the best semi-professional basc- lall aggregations in the state, All players under the agreement will he requested to play throughout the season without pay, and at the «nd of the scason the profits will be plit on the basis of the amount ‘«f service rendered by cach player. It is possible that the batteries will be paid for cach game separately, but this question was left for future dis- ams will be under the man- agement of a special baseball com- nittee composed of five members and the manager, who will act as chairman, The consolidution of the clubs {brings to the Falcons approximately 50 new membe o, and among them such vopular baseball stars as Jo- 1seph Walicki, Joseph Luty.
