New Britain herald., 1926-09-11

this afternoon Will hold the trophy for . year because 1t must be won three times to give the team or fac tory permanent possession.
 This afternoon also, the American Legion baseball team is battling the Central Falls team of Rhode Island in the first game of a home and home series for the championship ot New England. The teams will play the second game in this city a week from today, probably at St. Mary's field.
 Tickets for the game next week are on sale and they are being pur- chased throughout the city. The money will be used to pay the ex- penses of the Rhode Island team to this city.
 Tomorrow afternoon in Kensing- ton the baseball classic of the week will b. played when the Falcons and Au-Kensington teams clash in the third game of their series.
 Each team has won one game and tomorrow's- clash will be battle royal, Both teams aHe all steamed up for the fray and without doubt, the game will be one of the best seen this year.
 The Washington baseball team is in New York today enjoying the fruits of winning the New Britain Bows baseball league. The program calls for a visit and trip through Bronx Park zoo, dinner and pase- hall game at the Polo Grounds in the afternoon.
 This trip is given the team that wins the championship each year by the New Britain Rotary club which sponsors the league. and supplies all equipment with which the boys play The race this year was a tight one and the Washington team won out although it was a tough tussle for the team to come through without being tied by Paradise Park
 The biggest attraction at the ln- dustrial Track and Field meet thls afternoon is the battle between the Stanley Rule & Level baseball team and the Landers outfit which won inc championship of the league.
 What makes this game especially hot from the viewpoint of the fans, is that there has been so much boast ing on both sides and when they clash, the teams will certainly give a real baseball game. The Stanley Rule occupied second place until 1t lost a tough game to Corbins and 1t appeared for a time that the battle of the league would be between the Rule Shop and Landers. That was when the talk originated and at that time, the packers of the Stanley Rule team were willing. they said, to bet their money that the Rulers would beat the Universals
 The Stanley Rule team still thinks it can beat the team that won the league championship and If they can they will do 1t this afternoon. Lan- ders fairly snickers at the claim of the Stanley Rule and they laugh when that team talks about winning.
 The game was kept in doubt until yesterday when. after it became known that the Corbin Red Sox and the Kensington teams would not play today. the managers got together and arranged the game.
 This will probably close the h. dustrial league play for this season. There are some more postponed games, but the sentiment Is that 1t Is foolish to play them. Nothing is at stake in the league now.
 The Industrial league will prob. ably be operated again next year but If 1t is 1t will in all proba ability, be a twilight league. Had twilight games been played this year, 1t would have been different story as far as the attendance was con- cerfled because almost every twi- light game drew q better crowd than the Saturday afternoon affairs. Most of the factories are in fay- or of twilight league next year and there are only one or two who do not favor this form of play. The majority will probably rule in the case however, and it appears now. though it Is a long ways off, that next season will see the Industrial league operated on a twilight sched- ule of seven inning gams.
 Tn league was revived this year after having been imperative since 1920. From the playing standpoint, have been. It Is strange but the teams that at the beginning appear ed to be the strongest. finished down the list while the others whose lineups did not appear to be impressive were in the lead.
 This does not include the Landers team because that outfit has q sweet aggregation of baseball toss CTS that would give any of the semi professional clubs In the city good run If the team keeps together next season, it Is likely that they will play state teams.
