Ed Dailey and George Mulligan are at it today trying to iron out the unpleasantness that exists between the Hartford and New Britain man. agements. A Hartford paper this morning stated that two games might be played, one on Armistice Day and the other on Thanksgiving Day.

New Britain herald., 1926-11-02

,and many who would want to see New Britain and Hartford clash, would be unable to do so because they would have to work on that date.
 Thanksgiving Day would probab- ly be an ideal day because of its being a holiday. Armistice Day will be holiday in Hartford, but the other day is a holiday in both cities. Even at that, we think that two Sundays would be the proper dates for these games.
 It seems that, at last, negotiations will be started for the meeting of the two camps. New Britain fans had about given up hopes that New Britain would ever meet Hartford, but today's developments have changed all that. We expect to have in some other part of today's issue, an account of the meeting and what decision was arrived at
 The picking of Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day as the probable dates for the games came from Hart ford because Manager Daley of the New Britain team stated that he hadn't thought of dates because he didn't know whether his team would meet Hartford or not.
 He struck another snag yesterday afternoon when. after booking the Newport Torpedo station eleven for the attraction -ext Sunday, he re- ceived a telegram calling the game off. Subsequent telephone talks with the manager of the Newport team gave Manager Daley the information that because the team would play the New London Sub-Base team week from Sunday and as this is the important game of the season, the Newport management did not wish 10 risk chances of injury by rlaying New Britain this Sunday and would rather have the team remain idle than play.
 Manager Daley will know definite lv by noon whether the team will hc here CT not next Sunday after noon.
 Tight fans in this section of the a'a'e will see q real attraction at the satc armory in Hartford next Mon day night when Persson, the cham pion of Europe, and Pat Mccarthy, ,1s l., in the star bout of the first indoor fight card of the season.
 Mccarthy impressed the fans who watched him ct the Velodrome against Johnny Risko of Cleveland, and in our opinion that night Me- Carthy should have received the de- cision. He is & clever fighter who will make Person or any other heavyweight travel to beat him.
 Mccarthy Is a real Irishman and loves to fight just as his ancestors did. He has been winning consistent ly in his recent battles and there are many here who will back him to win against Persson.
 One thing that has arisen to ques- ton Persons appearance in Con- necticut is the automatic suspension he suffers after losing to Bud Cor man last night in New York on foul. Whether this suspension will be effective in Connecticut or not is question, but we are inclined to be- lieve that 1t will not affect the fight CTS appearance In Hartford in the least.
 Clarence Lanpher announced to- day that the National Guards bas- ketball team would open the season at the state armory on Arch street on Saturday night, November 20. He has collected together a formidable looking team and by the way in which the squad Is going through its paces, 1t appears to be a strong con- tender for state honors this year.
New Britain herald., 1926-11-02

For the present. Taylor. Reynolds and Joe Jasper appear to be favored for the forward berth. Solmansky, a Hudson, N. r., man, is a big, rangy and fast boy. He looks good at cen- ter, but he looks better at forward. Just where he will be used is Q question that will be decided within a few days.
 Gierochowski, who subbed at cen ter last year, is the other candidate for the pivot position. There are many in this city who would like to see him get a real chance, and it may be that he will be placed at center for the first few games. He will be all over his stage fright of last season and after the first few games, should show whether he has the goods or not.
 Solmansky will make a good man wherever he is put.
 Pite has quite the Atlas team and has five of his own.
