HIGH SCHOOL NINE IS
 IN NEW HAVEN TOMORROW
Annual Jinx Game slated For Satur- day With Hilihouse As the
 Opposing Team

The annual jinS game for the N. B. II. S. baseball team will be played at New Haven tomorrow with the New Haven Hillhouse team as their op- ponents. For years this has been the tough game on the Hardware City teams slate. Last year the Elm City team gave New Britain its only defeat in that city. Two years ago the Red and Gold team would have been sure Of tie for the triangular champion ship had it not bcensfor defeat in New Haven.
 New Haven still has the pitcher which humbled the local team last year, Red" Carr. Bruno Kania who has the credit for one of tAe three victories scored by the Red and Gold team this year will draw the assign- ment for New Britain. While kania is pitching his place in right field will rrobs bly be filled by Carl Linn.
 An improvement must be shown in fielding if the team is 10 get anywhere ahis season. In the Meriden game they made seven errors. The infeld though improved since the opening game is still lacking in teamwork. The team is hitting up to the standard, and the pitching staff of Kania and Gray is good.
 The following is the lineup: kanis. pitch: Neipp. catch: Beagle, first base; J. Kania. second base: Grip. shortstop; Mccarthy. third base: Hs- Der. left field: Taylor. center field; Linn, right field.

CALLS OFF
 BOUT WITH REISLER
Boils Force Him to Cancel SatW,
 day Night Bout

New York, May 9.--A boil on the jaw and another on the left arm fore ed Louis (kid) kaplan, of Meriden, to call off his fight Saturday night at the Commonwealth Sporting club with Johnny Reisler, Harlem junior light weight who has just returned to Gotham from the coast. Scotty Monteith. manager of kaplan, made the announcement this noon that the bout was postponed after everything had been done to get rid of the un- welcome visitor.
 . kaplan will appear before the New York athletic commission today to ex- plain formally the reason for the postponement. And then Louis will return to his home in Meriden await irg future developments. There is possibility that he may meet Reisler in the near future.
 This was to have been the first fight of the Harlem battler since his return from the Pacific coast where he met with great success in fistic ventures. Reisler, delighted at a chance to go to work again in the cast. trained hard and was consider ably disappointed when he heard the news. He declined to make any def- nite comment on it otherwise than hoping he would have a chance in the future 10 mix 1t with Kaplan.
 The rumor that kaplan and Cuddy DeMarco. who fought a draw in Wat erbury, April e4. had been rcmatched for third battfe was denied last night through kaplan's manager. It has been stated that George Mulligan, of Waterbury who promoted the last affair, was to sign up the two junior llghtweights in short time for an appearance in the Brass City. Nobody has signed Kaplan' and there is no possibility at the present time of the two meeting in Waterbury.

 Carson knocked Leonard down In the early part of the fight with right and lefthand smashes that hurt. But fin the final frames Leonard's wonder full rally just fell short of bringing him the victory. Carson weighed 151 and Leonard 14s. There was plenty of action in the bout and hard hitting to keep the fans on their toes.
 Eddie Corbett, of Bridgeport. won on foul over Ted Blair, of Utica, N. r., in the fourth round. Blair fouled three times before and the last one looked bad. Spike Marine, of New Haven, beat Henry Mongeuse, of New Haven, in the six round bout. Plenty of action abounded in this fight.
 Mike Cofrancisco of New Haven. easily took the big end of the decision from Lenny Castle of Bridgeport.
 The winner of the Carson-Leonard bout was challenged by both Tracey Ferguson of Northford and Al Festa of Hartford. Young McAuliffe of Bridgeport, who has occupied the fight stage for the last week or two, refereed the bouts. Despite the rain a good crowd turned out and stuck through the entire show.
