 THE OPENING Waterbury Will Be Well Repre- sented This Fall-May Be a
 State League.

be on and number of the rOoters who journeyed to Rockville during the baseball season will once more take a car to the meadows, the troll ley service will be fine by that time, surely, the double track vii! be com pleted, to see the All-Waterburys wallop the life out of their opponents, that is, unless the teams around the state are much better than they were last year. The All-Waterbury team, which was so successful last year under the management of Mike Slavin and Lew" Cronin, will in all probability have the field to itself in this city, as the formation of an other first-class eleven is not prob- able. There was some talk of re- organizing the old Cadets who moved down everything in the state for a couple of years, but it Is safe to say there'll be no reorganization of the Brooklynites, although the Juniors will have good team on the grid iron.
 Although the All-Waterburys will be minus a couple of last years stars the managers are not worrying in the least about the makeup of the eleven. "Jack" Hannon, who was captain last year and was of the right caliber, will be missing. as will be Brother Bill" Thompson, unless something new turns up. The man. hnv nt to play, and 1t is said they will do without the services of last years star. If Waterbury does not give him chance he will probably play with Naugatuck. Paddy" Sheehan looks as if he would be out of the game, but he might run back in form ere the season opens. About all the oth- CTS of last years teams will be ln line and many new candidates will be out for a place. The new coach, Jack ' Bagley, should make good as did Harry Batchelder last year. The for mer Yale man did not care to take the position for the coming season.
 It was intended to have the can didates out for practice next Sun day, but 1t may be week later be- fore they appear for the first time. The following are likely to be among the candidates: Joe Daily. Matt Byrnes, Kerry Egan, Tommie Law Tor, Joe Walsh, John Hayes, John Bagley, Higgins, J. Shields, White Riley, Dan Cronin, Walter Legge, not to mention many others.
 ha Arck <xf hn tn this city Is scheduled for Sunday af- ternoon. the 30th of this month. The visiting team will be Fort Hamilton, which generally turns out fast ag- gregation. Manager Slavin will have a big pennant floating from the grand stand at the grounds, but he thinks 1t will be too cold to have band out.
 The managers will give the own- CTS of the field 30 per cent of the gross receipts. It has not as yet been decided whether 15 or 25 cents will be the admission fee. The All Waterburys will undoubtedly have to bring several teams here from out side the state as at present 1t appears as though there would be few teams in Connecticut. Naugatuck will have its usual strong eleven; Bridgeport at present Is an uncertain quantity. but 1t is safe wager that the Park City aggregation will get at least one good team together; Thomaston Is not likely to make noise this fall. but 1t Is said that the Nonpa- reils of New Haven will fight for the oh o In vhfy ,f fho ota
 It Is not definitely settlei whether the new rules will be adopted by the local eleven. but whichever set is agreed upon will be played the en- tire year, for if the team plays one way on one Sunday and differently on the following. the players will accomplish nothing.
 The High school boys are getting ready for action and yesterday after noon Lewis Stadtmiller was appoint ed manager by Principal Wilby. Rob- ert Tracy Is captain. Although the students had good material for a winning team last year the season was not very successful because of the players failing to practice. This year with such men as Tracy. Ever it. Maloney. Caesar. Maltby. Stadt- miller. Freney. Butterly. Parsons. and Shields. one of the best high school teams in the state should be whipped Into line.
 The Cadet Juniors who won the amateur championship of the state last year have already started to practice and expect to duplicate their feat of last season. There will be many other smaller teams In the field.
