 A High school player has made the statement to the writer that the lack of coaching is one of the main req sons that the local team is making such mess of things on the gridiron this season.
 If only arrangements could be made to get Dave Dunn, Gleason Par ker, or several other members of the Alumni to aid in whipping the High school team into shape, the Red and Gold might get somewhere this sea- son.
 Things look mighty blue at present for a Kaceys basketball team in this city this season, according to Law renee P. Mangan, manager of last years champions Several rulings made by the Kaceys leaders seem to kill off any prospects that were enter tained.
 The 1922 world series has passed into history, and with it goes one of the, biggest upsets of recent years. The Yankees, favorites in the betting. made very poor showing against the Giants.
 The Yankees turned in about as dumb a brand of baseball as has ever been shown by a major league base ball club.
 If Miller Huggins is busted as man. ager of the Yankees, there will be no surprise for many.
 Some talk is heard that Eddie Col lins, the brainy second baseman of the White Sox, will be the next lead CT of the Yankees. It is also rumored that Babe" Ruth will wear a Chisox uniform next season.
 The Yankees will again get all the best of it should such deal be en- gineered.
 Ruth, with a batting average of .11s for the series, proved one of the big ppointments for the American league champions. Most of the Bam- bino's hitting was taken care of by Frisch or Kelly.
 The Rovers A. c. football team of this city played the Newington Junc- ton team a scoreless tie yesterday at St. Mary's field The visitors greatly outweighed the home team.

 There will be a meeting of the Rovers A. c. football team at 7I o'clock tonight.
 In the lineup of the West Side A. c. of Hartford football eleven. in yes terday's game, there appears the names of Politis, Dill and Cummings, presumably, the members of the New Britain team.

 Merwin Jacobson, the local boy playing centerfield for the Baltimore Orioles, got double and scored a | run in the game against the St. Paul team, in yesterdays game at Balti- more. Jake" had two sacrifices to his credit, and in the field he caught three fly balls.
 The White Cubs series at Chicago was halted yesterday on ac- count of rain.
 Jim Thorpe, the famous Indian athlete, watched his Oorang Indians football eleven of Marion, O., defeat the Columbus Panhandlers. 20 to 6 | yesterday. Thorpe did not partici- pate in the game, owing to the easy time his mates were having.

 Manager John J. kiniry left today on a trip to New Haven and New and he expects to sign three players, who have statewide reputa- tions. It would not be surprising if Peter son, the former Williams star, was soon a member of the New Britain team. This player showed here
