TWO BIG GRIDIRON
 GAMES TOMORROW
Capital City EleVenS will Face
 Tigers and NutmegS

Tomorrow's big attraction in local football circles will lead the crowd to Traut's park where the crack Tigers of this city will lineup against the Corinthians of Hartford rated as one of the fastest teams in the Capitol City. That the locals will be forced to the limit to secure a win over their dusky hued opponents is assured, when the record of the visitors is scanned for this season. The Corin- thians will have their best in uniform tomorrow, as they are particularly anxious to win from the Tigers. The locals have drilled hard ths week for tomorrOws game and Manager Earn est reports his team as being in the pink of condition. A number of new plays have been worked out this week, and will be used against the Corinthians tomorrow. The attend dance at the game should be of rec ord breaking proportions, for the management has gone to much eXs pense in hooking the Corinthians. The Tigers ir their opening game last Sunday proved that they are to be rated as one of the best teams ever selected from home talent, and the schedule that has been arranged with the proper support should treat lovers of football to some fine sport.
 Several years ago the Nutmeg foot 1 ball eleven attained a statewide rep l utation throughout Connecticut for its ! prOWeSS but of late the boys have ! been split up so that no eleven has ! been placed in the field. Through the efforts of Jimmy Clinton, however, d a collection of former stars of the { gridiron have been gotten together 1 this season, and the prospects at present indicate that the wearers of the green sweaters will soon regain the prestige on the gridirOn that it once boaSted. To attain this end the management has secured some of the
 noted gridiron warriors in the Nut
 meg state to meet the locals during
 the season. with the prospects of
 successful outcome of these contests
 in sight. To pry off the lid Manager
 Clinton has booked the famed Tigers
 A. C. team of Hartford to stack up
 against his pets at the Fraternal
 Baseball field tomorrow afternoon, at
 2:3O o'clock. Followers of football
 in this vicinity need no information
 as to the ability, of the Hartford boys.
