The local Legion post is in need !
of money to keep its team going,
and as the locals pay the expenses
OF the visiting team. the sum realtz-
ed on the sale Of tickets on tomor-
rows games will be used towards
this purpose. New Britain has never
denied an appeal for funds for any
worthy cause, and if 1t is a cham
pionship that is in the works, New
Britain will certainly do everything
expected of it in furthering the
cause Of baseball.
"Monjue" Zaleski is showing great
form in the second team backfeld
of the New Britain High school foot
ball team. If he continues to play
as sensationally for the next week
and a half, he will undoubtedly re-
place one of the present backtield
men, Fengler, Claire, Matulis or
Carlson.s
zaleski seems to Re the greatest
find that has come up in High school
in recent years. He played sensa
tionally in basketball last winter.
Ed Daileys announcement today
that he had signed Thompson, star
Of last years team, to play at the
haltback position again this year,
will come as welcome news to the
followers OF football in this city.
Thompson flashed brilliantly in
last years games and his work
was of such high order that there
isn't any question but what he will
be a good addition to the eleven
again this year.
Along with the announcement
that Thompson has been signed,
Daley also stated that the other
tackle position would be filled by
a player whose ability goes IN
questioned in this city. Mystery
surrounds the identity of this
player and although he is known
to the inner circle. his name will
not be announced by the manage
ment Immediately.
Sunday will find the AllNew
Britain team all set to take a fall
out OF the New Haven Blues. The
Elm City eleven Is coming here all
steamed and ready to beat New
Britain but from the looks of
things just now, the team will get
an awful Jolt when it meets New
Britain's powerful eleven.
