post, American Legion, this mornint
 expressed themselves as being vel
 pleased with the outcome of the ath
 letic outing and track meet held a
 the community grounds on Saturda,
 afternoon of last week From pres ent indications the meet will be ar annual affair in Berlin and will ait greatly in putting this town on the sporting map.
 The rain of the early morning al first put the damper on the occasion
 but with the coming of the sunshine in the early afternoon hundreds ot people turned out to witness the vari ous events. It is thought by man, that if it had not rained earlier ir the day that there would have beer a much larger crowd. As it was the people f1ocked to the grounds from Berlin, New Britain, Bridgeport, New Haven and Meriden as well as Ken sington and East Berlin.
 The marathon race, which was the feature of the afternoon was late in starting from New Britain but was the beginning of an active day. The results of that race with all other out of town scores will be found com plete on the sports page of this edi- ton.
 The first event of the local im- portance to be staged was that of the relay race for Berlin oubs The boys of the Worthington Athletic club, who have been interested in sports for the past years, were the rictors of this race with St Paul's Y. M. T. A. X B. society of kensington coming in second place.
 The local event with the majority of sporting men were interested in was that of the baseball game be- tween East Berlin and Kensington And how those kensington men did play ball. AS many of the spectators said, there never was a better game of ball played in this town in the past ten years The kensington nine were the victors over the East Berlin lads with an IS to score. McCor- mick, the star pitcher for the New Britain kaceys and McKeon comprised the batteries for the kensington team while Witham, Brunelle and Clark were the batteries for the East Der lin players.
 Members of the Worthington Attn letic club again came to the front in the 100 yard dash for local people only Hall came in first with St Claire second. and Goodrich third. Time 12 and one fifth seconds. In the tennis match the Kensngton out fit defeated the players from Berlin.
