HIGH SCHOOL SCHEDULE.
Season Begins Tomorrow With Game
at Webster.

Killirgly High Schools baseball
team opens its league season tomor-
row with a game against Bartlett High
School at Webster. This is the first
of three games scheduled for this
| week. Thursday the team will play
Pomfret school at POmfret Saturday
the Pascoag, r. l., team at Danielson
this being the first home game, but not
a league game. The new uniforms
are expected to arrive this morning,
SO the prospects are for the boys to
! visit Webster all dolled up as regu-
lar leaguers, sans bushes
Captain Joe Norton is expected to
be in the box in the Webster game
and Reeves in the game against Pom
fret though both of these twirlers may
be started easy and worked a part of
each game.
Killingly's team looks mighty good
this season and should be right up
there fighting for the championship
from the first. In Norton and Reeves
the team has two very good school
pitchers. As a catcher Reddy is as
good as any in the league and the in
field made up of Moran at the initial
sack. Jette at second, Gagnan at
| short and Elliott at third make a
combination better than can be claim
ed by the average high school team,
Elliott looks like schooiboy star.
In the outfield Harold Horton seems
a fixture at center. He has been dub
he'd the Benny Kauff of the local or
ganiZation and is prepared to uphold
the traditions of the famous original
He's playing a grand game and is
| right there with the all-hot converse =
ton that has Bennyized the big show,
Other Outfeld men are Conklin Buff
hngton and Russell.
> The team was out for practice on
Monday afternoon and will be at it
again today The team has developed
quite rapidly and is now showing con
siderable form The players have
been hitting we'll and have been
taught considerable inside" ball. Ev-
cry practice afternoon they have beer
put through an hour of Skull" drill
r intended to teach them the finer points
of the game and they have proved APP
: students. Coach Swaffield thinks the
team is pretty good and expects it tc
: make fine record for the school
And. by the way, this might as vel
get into print now as any other time
The team has picked out a name-the
e Red Men. This may be blamed on the
Y fact that the pretty new uniforms will
= show an Indians head on the sleeve
= and other decorative suggestions a.
h the days when the feathered bows were
b piling up batting averages with tom.
e ahawks.
