 Tho greatest football attraction possible. Harold (Red) Grange and his New York Yankees, have here totore seemed remotely separated from New Britain. but after yester- days conference between Promoter Peter Perakos and Manager Edward Daley with c. c. Pyle, manager of the Wheaton iceman and the New York team, the Yankees were prom ised as close attraction for this city.
 All-New Britain will play the team at Ciarkin field in Hartford on Sunday afternoon, October 10, and real football classic is in store for the fans of the city, Ef- forts had been made to secure the Hartford velodrome, but terms could not be agreed on for the game.
 Had there been field large enough in this city, the team would have been brought here, but the magnitude of the venture necessitat- cd that a spacious place be secured and either the velodrome or Clarkin Field seemed to be the only places available.
 The game Is moved to Hartford, but the football fans in this city readily understand the situation. Approximately s10,000 is the amount that the local promoters have to post with Pyle before the team takes the field. Of this sum. s5,00o was posted yesterday and the bal ance must be posted before the team takes the field.
 Manager Daley promises that the prices for the game will be popular enough to assure every fan the op- portunity of seeing the game. The field accommodates 1000 at the present time and arrangements have heen made to have bleachers to ac- commodate 5000 more on the field. Every seat in the huge enclosure will be a good one and every fan will have an opportunity of seeing the game to advantage.
 Good news was received by the local management in that Big Bill Warner will be with the team for Sundays game. So will Thompson the fashy halfback. This means that the eleven will be well drilled for the following Sunday when Oranges team meets the locals Tn Hartford.
 Warner. paired with Murphy, at the tackles, will give New Britain line that should be able to stop the runs of Grange and his mate Eddle Trvon, Colgate backfeld star of last season.
 number of other good men are being secured for next Sundays ranoe against the Silvertown club or Springfeld and New Britain should have a powerful combination against the strong Massachusetts eleven.
 Tickets for the game on October 1O will go on sale immediately and reserved seats will probably all De sold before the date for the game
 The signing of the agreement TOT tho annearance of Red Grange and his team against All-New Brit ain In Hartford a week from next Sunday, is the result Of a numoer of weeks of hard work on the part of the local football magnates. For several weeks now NIT. Perakos ana Manager Daley have been busy on the details of the game and unul vcstsrday, nothing definite was known about whether Oranges team would appear against the locals or not
 The two local men went to New York yesterday and -intervleWed ; Pyle and came to an agreement with him. While there, they met Grange and found him to be a like aBle fellow.
 Pyle told the local men that he pays Grange s100 a week in cash and the rest of his money goes into stocks and bonds and mortgages as investments for the future.
 In order that the All-New Britain team will be able to put up good defense against the Grange Yam kees. Coach Hayes and the local r1anagement is making preparations to have the players practice all aft ernoon on Thursday, Friday and Saturday Of next week.
 This will put the team in shape | for a hard offensive and will also ! perfect it's defense. The local man. [ agement realizes that a victory over Oranges team would put New Brit ! ain far ahead of most of the pro- fessional teams in the country.
 The bringing of this extraordinary | attraction 10 this state and to a place where New Britain fans will have the opportunity of seeing the "phan- tom of the gridiron" in action, is another argument in favor of the ! promoters of the All-New Britain | team. The heavy obligations under which they will be put to have the
