been broken up somewhat. He has been dickering for a twirler and ex- poets to land one in twilight game before the series starts.
 The proposition of the players who have played on more than one team during the season was settled by having the player decide with whom he will play and then limiting to ap- bearing with that one team only. If player starts the series with one team, then if that team Is eliminat- cd, he will not be allowed to play with any other nine,
 This series will equal anything that has occurred In baseball in this city for some time and because the fans have been asking what was to be one about city series, leaves the answer in the actions taken by the manager last night.
 The Falcons will take on the Mill ford team here next Sunday as weekend attraction at St. Mary's field. The Milford team is one that can cope with any in the state and the locals will be pressed hard 10 win this time.
 The St. Stanislaus team of Meri- den has been angling for the Falcons 10 appear in the Silver City next Sunday but 1t looks as If the Fal- cons will be playing at the home lot on Sunday.
 The Corbin Red Sox will be off on two days trip taking in Norwich on Saturday and Mystic on Sunday. The players have been waiting for this trip ever since last April, and they would not want to miss it for any thing.
 We happened 10 be up in Stafford Springs last Sunday morning about 6;30 o'clock and as we stood in small doorway while the rain poured down. an old timer happened along and passed the time of day. The talk went to baseball, and he started in with something that sounded interesting.
 AS the talk went on from one thing to another. the native said: i'ITp ho a few weeks ago. We had them Corbin boys from New Britain and they played us a good game"
 It's funny what you come across. but think of the Hardware City be- ing advertised 10 such an extent that an old fellow would start to talk about one of it's ball teams so early In the morning.
 The Pirates will have a real good tune-up game tomorrow afternoon against the State Hospital nine of Middletown in the valley town. The Pirates have had short layoff, but like regular champions, they are out to get good game in under the belt before tackling Kensington in the elimination series for the city pen. nant.
 The annual field and track meet of the playgrounds will be run off tomorrow afternoon at Willow rl- Tho CrhaHOI- ed for last Wednesday but down. pour of rain stopped all good inten- lions. Playground marks are eX- pected to fall during the day be- cause of the marks that have been made in the tryouts.
 Fat Bridget was forced to get his third supply of tickets for the kap- lan-H Herman bout which is on Ill Waterbury on August 21. This means that whopper of deleSa- ton from New Britain will attend the ponship fight in tho Brass City. Both fighters are in fine shape and the news that Herman will do his training in New Haven means that both fighters will be on Con- necticut soil preparing for what is expected to be the worst battle these two have ever fought.
 Kaplan, naturally is the faVorite | in this neck of the woods, but 1t is not so in other parts of the state. Fans who have witnessed the two men battle in their previous meet ings, favor Herman to beat the champion especially after Herman S impressive win over Lew Hurley. kaplan's win over Kennedy of New Orleans was just as impressive al- though he did not score knockout and if 1c were 10 pick, we would say kaplan will win.
 The fight, it is predicted, will never go 15 rounds. One of the battlers will have 10 go down, be- cause they are like two wildcats in the ring. kapan has developed a viciousness that Herman is incapa- ble of raising and when the Kid starts in, Herman must look out.
 Both ought to know each other pretty well by this time, as this will be their sixth battle together, They are both nice little playmates and neither can rest easy until the claret is flowing freely. Then when the blood starts flowing. both tear in like wild animals.
 Don't forget. the tickets are going
