 The lnpasse in the City Baseball Championship situation remains the same today without rhe managers haVlnx reached an agreement of any sort, according to word reaching this office and unless something breaks today, there will be no cham plonship decided tkis year.
 Over the telephone yesterday, Managers John robin of the Cor Din Red Sox and Joe veniski of the Falcons both reiterated their state nene made at the meeting the other night and both refused to be s~ayea. Manager Venislli again made the offer he proposed at the las; meeting and again Manager Tobin turned it down.
 Manager Pat Buckley of the Ken singtop team will go through with his part of the agreement and will play both the Falcons and the Cor bin Red Sox as the schedule was first outlined to him, if agreeable terms can be reached between him and the other two managers. That would leave him playing the Corbin Red Sox on August~22, September and October 3, and the Falcons on August 15 in Kensington, September 5, at St Mary's and on September 2s at a field to be selected between the two managers.
 This will leave Buckley playing the two teams but will leave the Red Sox idle against the Falcons.
 It will be a funny condition if both the Red Sox and the Falcons should beat Kensington. because both of the teams would have to either settle their argument on the diamond or keep still for the re- mainder of the year.
 The breaking up of the series, gives football the necessary leeWay to step in and take over the season and after the grand old game of the fall starts, there will be nothing left for the fans to do, but call the base ball season closed and go to see the football games.
 With the series being played as agreed at the first meeting, the sit- uation would certainly be interesting enough to keep the interest of the sporting fans at fever heat. As 1t is, there isn't anything much inviting in the prospects.
 We still hold to the hope and be- lief that before many hours have passed, some agreement will be reached whereby the teams will start as scheduled next Sunday. The majority of the fans are hoping for this also and if we don't miss our guess, Sunday afternoon will see the Corbin Red sox playing the Falcons at St. Marys field.
 Manager Tobin stated this morn ing that he will wait until tomorrow before doing anything decisive on Sunday and if things aren't settled before that time, he plans to go ahead and open up at the New Brit ain Machine Co., diamond at the foot of Cedar Hill.
 Kensington is all set for the con- ing Sunday. The team will journey over to Meriden to meet Jack Cur rvs New Departure team there. This will be a tough encounter for Ken sngton and means that the team 9 will have to step on it to come through with win. Since the lr- jured list has been cleared, the team will probably have its full strength against the Currymen.
 Kensington is scheduled to appear in South Manchester tonight in a twilight encounter with the Sons of Italy team of that town. The two teams met in Kensington only short while ago and darkness halted the game with the score tied at all.
 Tonight's contest will settle this argument between the two teams and a good game is expected when , the two outfits meet.
 The Falcons haven't announced an engagement for Sunday and that gives many of the fans the hope that the team is planning to come through with an acceptable proposi- ton for the city championship. It is the general feeling around town that the series will be played, but no definite announcement has been forthcoming as yet.
 The managers of the three teams entered in the First District Ameri- can Legion baseball league will get together tonight at the Eddy-Glover post rooms to talk owe, the playoff in the Hartford district. All the dis tricts in the state will be starting either this week or next and they all must be finished by, August 20 so that the way will be cleared for the state championship which will be held in connection with the I,e- zion state convention in New Ha- . ven, August 26, 27 and 2S.
 The New Britain team has been working out for the past month un- der the direction and coaching of Larry Mangan assisted by Charlie Miller and the local squad will make strong bid for the Hartford coun-
