 POPULAR PLAYER
Friends and Fans to Remember
 ''Red" Campbell Saturday

t New Britain friends of Rcd" Baseball" will pay him homage next Saturday 4afternoon, when a testi- monial game between the New Brit ain Machine Company and the All Stars of~the Industrial league will be played at Walnut Hill park. The en- tire proceeds will be donated to the popular player. As far back as many of the local fans can remember, Campbell has been performing on the diamond. His record as a player is one that commands commendatiOn. It is figured that 30 years ago, Red" became member of The New Brit ain Diamonds, and from that time to the present day, he has been turning in time after time, a stellar brand of baseball. Campbell, while he never reached the great heights that the late Tommy Burns, Bill Kopf or Mer win Jacobson have attained, never theless, was in demand in semi pro circles, and much competition was conducted by managers through out the state for his services.
 fs In Conn. League.
 Campbell played with New Britain in the Connecticut league in 1898. He vas a member of the Manchester team when the Big Four was in eX istcrce. He has also played on all of the crack ~sen1i-pro teams repre- senting this 4ycity. At the time the Ward league, was in existence, Camp bell was a member of the champion ship Fifth Ward team. He has also played in every factory league that has ever been conducted in this city.
 EUmps Had It Easy.
 Tn the 30 years that Campbell has been before the public as a player, it has never been recorded where he was put ouSz4of- a game for disputing an umpire's decision. He has never been upiked nor has he ever spiked a play eH in his long term on the diamond. Campbell has played most every posi- ton on the diamond. He is a quiet unassur1ing kind of a player that has ever proven popular with the fans and fellow players.
 For several seasons Campbell has been a member of the Pioneer team, and many of the games tucked away in the victory chest can be attributed to his ability to pound out a hit at the critical moment, or turn in a daz- zling stop or catch that saved the day for his mates.
