 Will Form Ping Pong Team
 It is understood that the All Ken sington baseball squad' will disband in the near future and a ping-pong team organized among the members. That is what should be. done, accord . ing to sport followers in kensington, judging by the way in which the game with the Corbn Red Sox of New Brit am was played yesterday. Needless to say the kensington team lost, 10 to 4, the most crushing defeat this season.
 It all happened in the first inning. Hayes was away off his game and act ed like a rookie in the box. He was easy meat for the Red Sox batsmen and they took six runs from him be- fore he was finally withdrawn in the first inning, in favor of Chant, who. in spite of his efforts. was forced to give the opponents two more runs before he could tighten up on his game.
 Fans were disappointed in the game to say the least All Manager Buck ley would say today was. well. the best team won" However, he is still confident, in spite of the fact that the New Britain team has trimmed his boys twice, that the All Kensingtons can beat the Red Sox.
