Sporting Editor: In order to protect the fans In the coming Taftville-Kaceys series, which opens on the fair grounds next Saturday, Sept. IS, I wish to state that the team representing Tattville is not the Taftv4ile A. A. which played in the Eastern Connecticut league during the past season.

 From the way McManus Is improving right along, the Browns, may yet own one of the greatest second sackers in the game.
 The Giants are confident they will win the National league flag. and they. can see no other team but the Yankees win ming the American pennant. For tean, that early in the season wasn't figure one-two-six. the cubs have proved to be pretty nifty set of ball tossers.
 "Red" Faber has pitched nice ball for i the White Sox. but the best he has go: 1 is an even break in the number of games won and lost.
 Had Pittsburgh had the benefit of Rel RussellAs hitting earlier in the season the chances are that the "Buccs" would now be battling at the top.
