Speaking of Sports Here's one for the ‘book. A cer- tain well known bowler-last Friday night at Rogers Recreation Alleys, in the excitement of winning a match game from -a rival, dropped a five dollar bill. ‘A boy picked up the meney ‘and handed it over to Man- | ager Bill Brennecke. ‘\ Several bowlers were asked if they had lost anything but they answered that they had all their belongings. Then came along our hero. He was asked the same question and after searching through his pockets, he said - he had dropped a five-dollar bitl. Brennecke thereupon delivered up the paper remarking that the boy who found.the money ought to be tipped. Here was the answer he re- ceived: “Huh! If those darn kids would keep out of this place, I would find my own money." That's one .bowler Bcotch. that wasn't The triangular series between the Bacred Hearts, Holy Cross and Bur- ritts is all off because of the defec- | tion ‘of the Holy Cross team from the agreement to play two rounds. The management gives lack of money as the reason while Manager . Val Gray of the Sacred Hearts calls it a plain case of ‘“cold feet.” This leaves the situation in & muddle although the Sacred Hearts have the edge because of their two victories over the Burritts. However, Manager Gay is greatly chagrined because of the fact that he has been left in the lurch for the next few Sundays with regard to games. He would like to hook up with the Kensington team for a series of the best two out of three games to de- cide the championship of metropoli- tan New Britain. His original idea was to play the Kensington team if his: team had come through to beat the other two. This would mean an interesting series of battles for the fans of the city. Another series has died before it | was. even started. The Savitt Gems of Hartford visited this city seeking to engage the Sokols. in a series for the. City league champlonship be- tween Hartford and New Britain. The Sokols were agreeable and ten- tative arrangements were made to play the first game next Saturday afternoon at Bulkeley Stadium in Hartford. However, - when Manager John | Cabay started to talk about guaran- tees and division of the profits last night. the Hartford crew became suddenly cold to the proposition. Therefore, there will be no game next Saturday afternoon. " A football meeting of the New Britain Blues has been called for Friday night at 8 o'clock in the Seneca A. C. club rooms. Whether there will be a team in the field this season or not depends on whether enough good football players show up or not. The high school football squad of approximately 75 candidates was out for its first practice session yester- day afternoon. Regular sessions will be ‘held from now on under the su- pervision of Coach George M. Cas- sidy in an effoft to turn out a win- ning combination. | | | There will be an important meect- ing of the managers of the City | baseball league Thursday evening at 8 o'clock in the city hall. It will be the final meeting of the Vvear and the affairs of the league will be brought to a close. It is im- portant that all managers be on hand. Charlie Miller, veteran baseball coach of the Pirates and the New | Britain Machine shop nine will en- ter the New Britain General hos- pital ‘this afternoon. | He will be operated upon to- morrow morning for an ailment that has been bothering him for the past year. He will have the well wishes of the sporting public of the city for & speedy recovery. ALL STAR NINE LOSES Fifty-Four Old Timers Engage in Game at Braves Field Before Crowd of 30,000 Spectators. Boston, Sept. 9 (UP)—Early 20th century major league baseball was revived here yesterday when 53 old- timers participated before some 30,- 000 spectators at Braves Field in a game between Braves and Red Sox Veterans on the one hand, and for- mer stars who once represented oth- er cities in the world series on .hc other.
