Speaking of Sports Baaaaaaanda o 22 20 2 ) Sammy Mandell risks his weight championship against Tony Canzoreri in Chicago tonight. A blow by blow account of the fight will be announced from the Herald. The fight, it is expected, will start 4t 10 o'clock, Chicago time, wrich will make 1t 11 o’clock Eastern Day- light tim light - There will be no radio broadcast- ing of the battle and the Associa’ed Press telegraph story will be the most direct manner of getting it. I'ight fans who care to listen in to the story will probably have a long wait, but from all indications, the Lattle will be one well worth while. Things are beginning to warm up in the city baseball championship series. All of the teams entered in the playoff will have started after Sunday's games. Three contests are scheduled, one at St. Mary's between the Burritts and the Falcons; an- other at Willow Brook park betwee: the Corbin Red Sox and the Sokols and a third in Kensington between Kensington and the Holy Cross. As the series progresses, the teamns that will remain, four out of seven, are beginning to show how the wind blows, The scramble, it appears, will last right up to the last gaiic in the first round. Three teams, the three lowest in the standing, will hen be dropped, the four remaining ones playing it out for the champion- ship. The enaing of the playoff for the championship of the western half ot The American Legion county baseball lcague last night, is very unsatisfac- tory. New Britain ard Bristol were supposed to battle it out for the title at the Percival avenue grounds in Kensington. Bristol failed o appea for the game and the contest W, forfeited to New Britain. s The local team, every member in- cluded, and Coach Larry Mangan, would rather have played the game and won 1t according to Hoyle, but because the schedule is limited, there was no other choicc. We have heard of no explanation from the Bristol manager regarding the failure of his team to appear as scheduled for the game. The Bristo! team held a practice session Wed- nesday night at the Kensington grounds and it seems strangs that the crew didn’t show up last night. New Britain tackles Hartford night at Walnut Hill park o'clock in the first game of a serics 10 decide the championship of the county. The sccond game will be played in Hartford tomorrow and the 1hird game, if necessary, wiil played on Monday at a place to he decided upon. Al & Three games are scheduled to be ! viayed in the City lesgue at Walnut | Hill park tomorrow afternoon and ecach ¢f the three contests gives promise of being a real battle.

He had al- lowed only two hits: in the sixth he walked four men, allowed one single and an error by Miller accounted for four runs. He was credited for the victory, however, when his mates scored two runs in the last half of the same inning, after he had been talien out for a pinch hitter.
