Foot ball teams of Western and
Central annually produce worthy
competition, although the latter al
most always has had the upper hand
This year it is quite different. though
for the Red and White has shown
much, and has the best chance 1t
ever had of topping Coach KelIy's
gridmen. That thrilling 7-to-7 game
western played against Tech indi.
Gates how the Red and White has
improved it's defensive power. The
Manual Trainers routed Central, IL
to 0, yet could not down the George
town school
Centrals main trouble in the Tech
game was its inability to cope with
the Maroon and Gray aerial attack.
CARRIER to Dulin is a forward pass
Ing combination which Western
probably will try against the Blue
and White. There will be little need
to resort to an overhead attack,
however. if Centrars linemen have
not taken a decided brace Coach
Kelly will present a pair of new
tackles against Western One is

around the 20o-pound mark. Hance.

Will play the other tackle.
Should Central emerge the victor
Tuesday it's hope Of figuring in the
runner-up position will be consider
ably frightened. The Columbia
Heights eleven has played only one
game In the series thus far. that with
the Techites. Western ran rough
shod over Business, barely managed
to beat Eastern and then rose to
dizzy heights in tying Tech. I'm
less the dope is all twisted the
Georgetown school will flash in front
Tuesday.
1t will be up to Mike Gordon mainly
II Central is to spring a form re-
Versal. Given any sort Of interfer-
ence, the fleet Gordon should cause
the Western players a deal Of worry.
But Tech stopped Gordon, and there
is no reason to believe that West
ern Is not capable of looking after
the Central player. Techs succe SIS
against Gordon centered upon the
ability of mailing the runner before
he could get any sort of start.
There is no doubt If Gordon ever
faces clear field Westerns goal will
be crossed.
Measuring ability, player for player,
western seems to have a decided ad-
vantage. There is no other end in
the high schools that can equal
Dulin's style of play and there are
few good defensive, performers of
Henry Lamar's type of play and there
is Ray CARRIER, who can heave . for
ward pass and kick the pigskin in
peerless fashion. This trio will lead
Western to victory in the opinion of
those who watched their performance
against Tech.
Gonxa4a Highs ambition to retain
the foot ball prestige it achieved last
year was bowled over by the Central
ties. There is another preparatory

W COBB had less actual in
struction in base ball than any

SOBB had less actual IN
struction in base ball than any
man that ever became star
in the major leagues. Cobb always
preferred his own counsel George
Leidy decided this soon after he
came to know Cobb. He felt GER
tain that the best way to develop
Cobb would be to fire his imagina-
tion and if that was fired sufficient
ly Cobb would develop himself. Try
ing to superintend that develop
ment would mean only retarding his
progress, as he would not take
kindly to advice.
L.eidy let Cobb figure things out for
himself He told him how various
great batters of the past worked at
the plate. He gave him various sug-
gestions while narrating yarns, know
ing that Cobb would perceive the base
ball wisdom contained in his stories
and adopt what was best suited to his
needs.
Learning In Garment.
The manager soon noticed that
Cobb was spending great deal more
time at the ball park than other play
ers. Cobb would be at the park when
the others arrived for morning prac-
tice, and he would linger after they
departed.
Leidy had told Cobb a story about
Christy Mathewson, then reaching his
top form as pitcher. This Mathew
son used to have poor control, and so
he'd come out to the park early and
get a catcher to come along. He'd
have the catcher hold his glove in one
certain position. and keep on pitch
ing, trying to hit the hollow of the
glove. And in the winter he cut
hole twice as big as base ball and
about the height of the average mans
waist line in the side of his barn
and he'd pitch for hours trying to
throw the ball through the hole.
That's how he learned control. You
got to keep pluggin' at one certain
thing till you get il down pat"
Another time he spoke of Hans
Wagner. The great Wagner at that
time was becoming recognized as the
best player of his time.
Wagner Held Up.
You know this Wagner used TO be
poor fielder" Leidy would tell Cobb
He was first an outfielder and he
wanted to play the infield. They had
him playing the outfield. They didn't
think he could play the infie,d Wag-
ner used to get up early in the morn
ing and go to the park. He'd get

to hit grounders to him. But he
found he was slow getting started
He couldn't get the jump in going
after a ball. SO Wagner took off his

Wants Berlin Buses Run Over
 Former Trolley Route

Alderman Walter Falk of the sec ond ward Is planning formal pro- test against the action of the Con- nectlcut Co.,. in removing trolleys from the Berlin line and substitut- Ing automobile busses that do not run over the route for which the company holds a franchise,
 The trolley operates for distance of several hundred yards on Park street, a like distance on Maple street, and for a short distance on Whiting street, all Of which Is in the second ward. When automobile busses were substituted for electric cars, the company changed It's route, going from Main street into South Main street and directly 10 Berlin, without touching Park, Maple or Whiting streets. The return trip, which. under the electric car system, served a part of Ash street, and the entire length of Maple street, was changed when automobile busses were put on, and those two streets are not now served by the bus.
 Alderman Talk has spent several days sounding the sentiment in his ward and he finds their is a strong spirit of protest against the trolley compsny's action, Transportation service was furnished tn the Maple street section only after considerable work on the part Of some of the older residents of that street, and a franchise was given that provided suitable service. The action of The company in disregarding the route prescribed in it's franchise, is not favorably received, and the alderman finds he will have strong support in his ward when he brings in his for maj protest, he reports.

'DR. BRAY HITS AT
 POLICY AT N.B. H.S.
CriticizeS ''Public.Be.Damned''
 Spirit Regarding Finances

One of the reasons why New Rrit- ain supports only a winning football team, at least insofar as the high school Is concerned, Is because the high school authorities who have charge of the financial affairs of the team have maintained a public bs damned" attitude in the publicity concerning the disposition of the proceeds, according to statemen, made today by pr. H. T, Bray at { meeting Of the Kiwsnis club.
 Dr. Bray who Is chairman Of the board of health, has been actively in- terestcd in the promotion of foot ball for many years in this city, and he stressed the point at the meeting of the Kiwanis club today that there is not enough public interest In tho sport in this city. He referred 10 the address delivered at the Lions club meeting yesterday by Attorney David L. Dunn and said the reason for the condition referred to by tho attorney was up to the high school officials.
 He also stated that this year New Britain has had a team eXcelled by none iu the past and said the, play CTS should be given gold footblls as token Of appreciation.
 That the players in the past have been required to purchase their own letters and sweaters as well as the gold footballs, was the statement made by Attorney Harry I. Ginsburs, former high school football player Similar remarks were made by Dep uty U. S. Marshal A. ?. Marsh.
 It was voted that the club try and foster better feeling of sup port and appreciation on the part of the public The club may in the near future invite the players 10 at. tend luncheon as guests, at which time football matters will be dis, cussed.
