 used by the National league teams.
 The local management has been making desperate attempts to sign up with C. C. Pyle for game with the New York Yankees, Red Oranges pet organization, and al- though everything is all set, the field Is what is baking the local men.
 Attempts were made to get the Hartford velodrome for October 1o' but the owners there wanted lit tie too much for the field. Then nesotiatiens were opened up for the rse of Clarkin field, but this hasn't been decided yet.
 Peter Perakos and aMnager Daley have been carrying on most of the work in connection with this game. The reason they are trying to get Hartford field is that there isn't any place in this city large enough for an attraction such as Red Grange and his clan will be,
 Just what the status of the game is at the present time, is question that should be decided within the next few days, As far as Pyle is concerned, he stands ready to bring the team to Hartford whenever the local men say the word.
 We have had a number of In ouiries concerning the appearance of Red" Grange in Hartford against Mulligan's Blues. This will not take nIace this year or next for the sim nle reason that Mulligan is in the National league and Grange is in the American league and neither team can play the other.
 On October 1o, Mulligan's team will he away and the date is pro- pitious one for the locals to play in Hartford. Grange appears in Bos- ton against the Boston Americans tn Saturday, October 2, and could easily stop off here on the way back to New York.
 Mulligan is angling for the serv- ices of Tony Planski the big full back of the Georgetown University team last year. According to first hand information, suitable terms have not yet been decided on, but it looks very much as if the big boy will be with Mulligan's Blues. We wonder if Bsrnikow will be kept on the squad. He appears to have done wonderful work with the Hartford team so far this year.
 There is a persistent rumor afloat that Jim Clarkin Is planning to sell his Hartford Eastern league base ball franchise to two other Hart ford men. According to the way we hear it. he doesn't know whether he will sell or not.
 Billy Dudack is apparently not appreciated in his home town. He has been named head coach of the freshman team of Georgetown Uni yersitv and this is no mean job. He will probably have a permanent position there as he starred at the university in baseball, basketball and football.
 Another athletic star who couldn't land anything in this city is Freddie .J4 ne hn sical culture instructors at the Horace Mann school for boys in New York. Freddie once sought a job on the playgrounds here, but he wasn't successful and it was prob ably good thing for him that he wasn't, Otherwise he might not have landed what he did.
 The Waterbury Eastern league franchise will be for sale before next season, we understand. The Brass City didn't support a pennant winning team and refused to sup port a team that wasn't a pennant winner. Now, 1t seems, the owners of the club, rightly, want to sell and get out while the getting is good.
 It would be a good thing If some- one In New Britain would take stab at running the baseball team here. We have a hunch that New Britain would become a good base ball town with the right parties running the team.
 As for a place to play we think there is one place that is as central as anything could be and one that could be fixed into a baseball park, is the vacant lot at the corner of Stanley and East Main streets which has been used for years as a factory dump. Of course, we don't know if this would be available or not, but suggest it as probable park.
 The Industrial Basketball league ] will be in operation again this year following a meeting of representa- tives of the various factories held !! in the '. NJ. c. A. last night. It . will probably be an eisht-team | league with the first game starting on or about November g.
 The Industrial Bowling league ! will discGss the coming season at a meeting f, the Y. NJ. C. A. next Monday night
