DAVIS IS CANNED.
Lambert of Pioneers to Be Given
 Chance With New Britain.

The can has rattled on the New Britain club and Right Fielder Davis has been released. Davis fielding has not been up to the standard and his batting has been next to nothing. A peculiar feature about this player is that during the spring practice games he showed up like house afire, but since the league season opened he has not filled the bill.
 Ted Lambert, local boy who played with the Pioneers and who has been on the squad since it held its first practice, will be given a chance to get a steady job with the team. Lam- bert is a good infielder or outfielder and in semi-pro ranks was regarded as heavy sticker.
