New Britain herald., 1925-10-02

should take strong hold here now |
because of the fact that the city |
has again been honored by The seloc-
ton OF one of It's sons as chairman |
of the registration comhAttee OF the |
Connecticut A. A. L. David l.. Dunn |
Is now in charge Of this work, sue.
ceeding the late Postmaster William |
Delaney. the greatest booster of |
sports IN this city IN recent years
Chairman Dunn Is expected TO give |
the youngsters in these parts mi |
petus 10 forming amateur clubs and |
thereby fostering amateur spots |
here.
Jimmy Clinch who easily holds |
the title of acc of New Britain anna |
teur boxers, following his victory of |
last night over Bill Cunningham, fo,-
mer state champion, will be in great
err demand than ever now. He Is II |
willing fighter and a good milling !
type OF pugilist and although he |
hasn't a great deal of experience !
and can find places for Improvement !
In every branch Of his work, he is !
getting there and II is the hope of |
all who are interested in clean sports |
that the local lad will keep himself |
fit for his future days.
It was from such boys as the anna |
teur ranks are composed OF that the
present champions in almost all the |
classes and weights have grown and |
who knows but what the rather
clumsy and slow footed hattler who |
ia breaking into the amateur class |
as a. boy may branch out into a
second Jack Britton or Benny |
Leonard?
New Britain also had its first in
dustrial field meet during the past |
year and plans are being kept in |
mind 10 stage another such event !
next year. These are great enter
tainments for those who are fol- |
lowers Of sports and there is moth |
ing cleaner or finer in this world |
than good competition in sporting |
events.
There is no reason why New Brit !
ain shouldn be at the head of the /
S0IS as LAT dS dtHlCllCs dlt Noli- /
cernod. The city has real big |
league football team aud does not |
lack for smaller calbred teams |
note the Rangers and the Falcons |
II has grown to become known !
throughout the state and even fur |
thcr abroad in New England as n |
championship basketba city and al /.
though baseball sort of died off here.
Witness the success Of the local |
teams in the final pionShip |
ries, the City league and the Boys !
Rotary league. These all make the :
Hardware City live sporting CEN
ter.
Now comes boxing, shy Of course /
a. first, but coming along just the |
same. Nothing big yet but that can |
come later. All in all, New Britain |
should not he forced TO take its hat !
off to any other city In The state in |
the line of athletics. We have a
championship high school football |
team, fine baseball team and the |
High track team makes them all |
step to win.
The Paradise Park boys are again |
warned that the bus for New York |
~hic il to tahke them on the big |
treat Of the year, given by the mem-
bers OF the Rotary club, will leave |
the Hotel Burritt at $50 o'clock To-
morrow morning. great day is in i
store for those who so and none
wants to miss the good things in
store for them.
We expect that even larger crowds
than last year will he out TO watch !
the returns from tho world series
which starts next Wednesday after
noon. The "1lorald" will start soon
to erect the player board at the Of |
fee on ChurCh street and the gang
In charge of maneuvering the ball, |
players and other items on the
board viii have their arms creased
for the games
We know that tho crowds last
year appreciated the service the
board gave and We hope they will
year. Each afternoon shortly after
the game is over, an extra paper
will he on tho streets with a full ac-
count Of the game, inning by inning. !
Information az 10 the time the
game begins and all other details in !
connection with the series will be
published In tho Herald each day
now and II would bchoolc the fans
to keep close watch on the sport
columns for the first hand done on
the series
Sundays football game between
the All-NcW Britain team and the
New York Giants will be one of the
best contests ever seen in this city.
The announcement that Henry
Zehrcr will start in the hacktieId for
the locals on Sunday will he received
with great satisfaction by the fans
who saw the game last week. The
team as a whole wasn't showing
much pep until Zehrer got into the
fray and then the whole OUTFIT
hvened up without delay.
Big Btlr' Warner will be shifted
from tackle to end He is fast on
his feet is sure catcher Of the ball
ana there Is no need TO say that lie
Is the surest and dradliest tacklcr on
the team. This change should work
out TO, good advantage as the plans
OF the team might be to use more
aerial work than heretofore.
i New Britain will have the strong
est team Of the season on tap Sun
day and the New York Giants, with
their array of former college stars,
VIII have to travel swift pace to
