pears at the present very dubious that the teams will meet because of the results of the meeting of the three managers last night.
 The Falcons feel that they and kensington are entitled to a larger share of the money which would be taken in. than the Corbn Red Sox, because both the Falcons and the kensington team own home dia- monds and they are under heavy ob- ligations to meet their expenses.
 They made proposition to John Tobin, representative of the cham pions of last year, offering him a 45 and 35 per cent split. The larg- fer share would go to his team if he won and the smaller, if he lost. This, Manager Tobin fiatly refused to con- sider and the meeting rested dead locked until a conference can be held with the boar dof directors of the Falcon club.
 John Tobin offered to play the I same basis, saying that he would spend enough money to put the field in shape. He stated that at the be- ginning of the season he had the chance to take over the Pioneer field for home games but he turned down the proposition because he didn't want to interfere with the success of either the Falcons or the Ken sington club.
 This will be reported back to the Falcon directors and whether any thing will come of it or not is a question.
 Manager Pat Buckley of the Ken sington team refused absolutely 10 get into the argument He stated that as far as he was concerned, he had no argument with either team but would stand back of the agree ment he made at the first meeting of the managers. He wants to see the series played and he believes the fans of this city want to see the championship decided.
 The Orioles have finally with drawn from the City league and the Speedboys have been accepted to fill in for them. The Speedboys will take up the obligations, as it were, of the Orioles including the standing in the league and the scheduled games of the Orioles. They will start this afternoon against the Robins.
 The American Legion baseball team will meet the Landers team of the Industrial league next Tues | day night at 5 o'clock at Walnut | Hill park. The junior team is meet ing the stiffest opposition possible | for practice so that when 1t plays | teams of its own caliber, it will be | able to down them.
 Play in the first district champion ship will be started probably next [ week. The managers of the three l teams entered, New Britain, Berlin ! and Bristol, will meet at the Eddy | Glover post rooms Tuesday evening ! at o'clock to discuss the proposi- ! ton.
 The use of substitute runners seems to be overdone in the City league. Almost every team has at least one alleged cripple who must have someone run for him, while the thought of pitcher tiring him. self out running around the bases seems to be absolutely abhorrent to the captains and managers. Thus. when a pitcher or semi-cripple reaches first base, a request for a runner is imm ediately made to the opposing captain, and he of course picks out the most snail-like man on the bench for the job, so that little if anything is gained. In one game a player was relieved by a runne and a few seconds later went in { run for the next man. The Stanley Works baseball team is out to take the measure of the league leading Landers team this , afternoon in the Industrial league { play at Willow Brook park. Accord l ing to the latest report the. Butt makers are to have Jack Scott and Schroeder as its battery this after noon. This means work for Lan- ders and the Stanley Works figured on setting down the league leaders.
 The Industrial league play Is fast coming to close. After today, four more Saturday games are scheduled and then the season will come to a close.
 The City league also comes to close shortly after the Industrial B league, in fact the exact date on R which the City league finishes play is September II. It would be a good D thing if the champions of the h. I dustrial league and the champions of H the City league would get together and play off series to decide the S supremacy between the two teams
