 The worm has turned at last. After being used as sort of punching bag by the Senators for the past three years, the New Britain team finally realized it's ambition and won a dou- ble header from Hartford yesterday on the latter's field. The New Brit ain herd, it seemed, has consts ntly feared the Senators, but now it looks as if Dan O'Neil has driven that fear to the high places.
 The Hartford Courant states that no rough stuff was pulled off by the Aviators yesterday, every man follow ing the book of etiquette as it is writ ten. Civilization is now extending to the remotest corners of the earth, and the New Britain fans can teach a lesson in politeness to the rowdies in Bridgeport"
 That New Britain crowd is con- tender for the pennant, yesterday passing the 800 mark. Their climb has been from the bottom when they had two wins out of twenty games. They look good to overhaul both Springfield and New Haven before the week end.

for the game. that they had been unable
to obtain by 5000 the number OF seats
which they desired for the game this

He declared that Washington was the
logical place for the game. and that the
game would be a home game for botn

National Capital for the event
II would have the game played in the
great ellipse back Of the White House, -
said Mr.. Hunt. where temporary stands
could be erected at a small cost which
would seat 10000 persons. When the
game was over the stands could be quick
ly removed and the ellipse left as usual.
Instead Of purchasing stands, it would
be possible to rent any number of circus
stands which We desired. They could be
