The first game will be of unusual import ance as it will give the fans a chance to look over the new faces and also sec how the Green and White team will shape un for tho big mid season bat ties. Football has always been tho popular sport in New Britain and with the baseball season safely tucked away the local gridiron warriors will have tho town to themselves. Tho field ha1 been placed in playing condition and ropen will keep the crowd off the play ing area.
 The players who will be the cyno- sure of all eyes are Talbott, the new quarterback and former Bates univer- sity star: Calvin the Yale and Co1um- hia center: Rogers the Creighton half back and Barnikow, another collega star. These men are conscious of the fact that they will be looked upon to produce tho goods and will bo pre- pared to show real football. It will bo z well coached team that takes tho field ar the Nutmegs have had six practices to date. Talbott or Rogers will do the bunting while Neville will bn called upon to throw tho forward passes.
 The Bridgeport eleven has wired the management of tho local club that i: will bring several former members of the American Chain club in addition to the regular Bridgeport lineup.

kILBANE IS FACING
 CRISIS OF CAREER
Coming Bout to Prove Whether
 He Can Stage Comeback

Cleveland, Sept. 17-Will Johnny Kilbane, featherweight champion be able to stave off the youthful Danny Frush, will he emulate the per- formances of James Jeffries, Jess Willard and otherchampions who let themselves be fooled into believing they were as good after long layoffs
 This was the main topis of dis cussion thousands of fight fans from all over the country gathered here for the 12 round titular contest at Dunn field this afternoon. Op;n- ion was divided, many sportsmen fear Kilbane's hands will go back on him and much doubt was expressed con- corning his yind. It wll be Kilbanc's first championship bout in five years.
 kilbane is confident that he will retain the championship he won from Abe Attell in Vernon, Cal, on Wash ington's birthday in 1912. At that time he was about the age of his challenger of today 22 years. He declared he is in better condition than he has been for several years.
 Frush and his manager, Sam Harris were just as confident that the champ lonsfhlp would change hands. Il am just as confident that Frush will win as I was that my other champion Kid Williams, would defeat Jonny Coulon" Harris declared.
 Trust was within the 126 pounds he agreed to make for the fight Although Kilbane is to come in at catchweight, he is expected to weigh about 127 pounds. The betting ranged from ten to eight in favor of Kilbane to even money.
 Four bouts beside the championship are on the program. Alex Hart, Lor- aine, lightweight and Jimmy Katz, are scheduled for the curtain raiser at 8 rounds. This was to be followed by ten round bouts between Tony Caponi, New York and Teddy Meyers, Buffalo, lightweights; Frankie Rice, Baltimore and Willie Ames. Akron, lightweights, and Jack Wolf. Cleveland. and Johnny O'Leary, Bridgeport, Conn.,, bantam weights. All are no-decision affairs.
 Walter c. Kelly of Buffalo was chos- en as referee, while the judges select ed were Richard Guy, Pittsburgh and Sam Hall. Chicago sports writers.
 Arrangements were made to care for 30,000 persons. In the event rain causes a postponement this afternoon, the show will be held tonight. A light rain fell intermittent1y all night, but the ring was protected by tarpaulins.

Plans are under way for the procur- ing of grounds suitable for an ath- letic field for use of high school sports.

ENDEES IN SECOND
 SERIES GAME SUN.
South Manchester Club Will Use Art Johnson Tomorrow-Ioodrid
 to Pitch For ND.

News comes from the Manchester camp to the effect that Art Johnson the former Red Top twirler will, in all probability be used in the second game of the series which is attracting so much attention. at Muzzy Held, Bristol this Sunday afternoon.
 Manchester fans arc making. much of the fact that in past years Johnson has proved to be more or less of 9 jinx to New Departure. While the Bristol boys have had some trouble in beating him in other years, they are confident that Art'a ancient charm iI no longer potent. Thia belief ia based somewhat upon tho outcome of tho first Manchester-New Departure game this Fourth of July, when the former refused to abide by the decision of their own umpire and pulled their team off the field. while still one run behind.
 In this game, which only lasted eight innings, the Bristol sluggers had taken very little head of the reputed jinx and treated Johnson to six safe slams, one of which was Greene's wal Top for three pillows. During this same session, Eddie Goodrdge was holding up New Departures end on the mound and was exceedingly stingy with his hits, three being all he doled out to the hungry and hectic Man chester bunch.
 Now that Sammy Hyman put up such an cratic performance last Sun day when New Departure took the first of the seasons classic series. Manches- ter's hope in stopping the victorious career Of New Departure will undoubt- edly bI Ar: Johnson.
 Eddie Goodridge will be New De- parturc's choice on the mound. Three times in the memory of fans, has he beaten Manchester and that sturdy southpaw can be depended upon to do his best to continue those doses of de- feat until thu seriea is won.
