 The game with New York Military Academy for Saturday at Cornwall has been called off since the Empire State team will not agree to cover a fair amount of expenses for the locals. Coach Hunts pigsk1n chasers will probably be matched with some New York team in Bridgeport Saturday. Rosenbaum school, now known as the Milford School, has been consid- cred as one of the teams for Satur- days game. It has defeated Choate School 60. and also Stratford High by big margin. It has the best team ever registered m that school.
 The expense of the trip to Cornwall would approximately be $15O. while the Military Academy would guaran- tee only $75. Although this is the only out-of-town game scheduled the Athletic association decided that the expense would be too great, as there is no championship involved.
 There was no practice Monday but practice will be resumed today. This years baseball captain will be elected this week.
