est teams In the state. according to
the plans OF Roy French, the man
ager, he announced today. Most all
of the places have been filed with the
best men available and the combina-
ton when 1t Is working In good order
should be able to defeat most any
thing that is up against II.
The tentative lineup rs drawn up
within the past few weeks gives the
names Of some of the best diamond
performers In these parts The catch
er's berth will be covered by Tedder
KilduR OF New Britain. Kilduft has
been disporting In the outneld the
past few seasons, but he is an aca-
high man behind the bat and Is
strong with the willow He will be
remembered for his timely clout q la
Babe Ruth last season with men on
to win the game in the ninth. Paired
up with him on the fiinging end, will
be Gerry Cream. also of New Britain.
premier twirler for the New Britain
kaceys last season. The lanky boy
from the Hardware City will make =
strong addition to the lineup and will
give many a visiting team something
to talk about.
Russ Winniger, favorite with the
Plainville fans, will cover the first
sack His work needs no mention
here. as he has been regular mem
Der of the Plainvillc team for several
past seasons. Possessed OF good
arm, sure pair Of mitts. and a good
eye at the bat, he will be tower OF
strength to the team. Shortstop will
be covered by the incompatible Bud
nick, probably the best infelder in
New Britain today. Budnick has
played here in former seasons, and
his proves with the willow is we'll
known. Hit 'em as hard as they
want to, they never get by Buddy.
Sometimes he muffs them, but his
powerful arm always gets them to the
bag before the runner.
Holcomb. another nifty infelder
will be seen on third. This boy halls
from the Bell City. Bristol, and has
been member OF the New Departure
team in the utility infielder's role for
several seasons. His work, combined
with Budnick's, will make a regular
stonewall Of the defense.
In the outfield, three of the fleetest
men in the game will be seen. Lam
dry, formerly with the Three Rivers,
Mass, team. one Of the strongest COM
binations in New England, will cavort
in the left garden. Jack Elliot, an
other speed king, will cover center,
while Naltanian. recent member of a
To-, he traiu ia ~
league, will be in right. The latter
boy made good last season in profess
sional ball. but the returns for his eff
forts were not enough to entice him
to sign contract this year.
Second base at the present time is
open, but several good men are being
interviewed day by day, and II Is
probable that Green. the New Britain
slugger, will be signed up before long.
The management will also seek anoth-
err hurler to alternate with Cream in
the box, and with this combination
working together, some Of the fastest
teams In the state will be booked.
Present plans call for the opening
Of the season against the Corbin A. C.

row. The New Britain nine has been
out practicing for many weeks and 10
reported to be in mid season form.
