 The high school alumni game yes terday morning at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park proved to be no sensation as far as grid contests so, but it was good game and a good number of fans attended as mat ter of helping in the benefit 10 Frank Mccarthy for whom the game was supposedly played.
 Up to the present time, no &C., counting of the funds has been made although it was said yesterday that q meeting would be held within a day or two at which time the money received would be split up. The expenses will be paid and then the remainder. ought to be turned over to the principal for whom the benefit was played.
 Ante-gam statements put the percentage to be paid to the crippled lad who bore the title of captain of the high school team at 60 per cent of the net proceeds. We await the accounting on the share which will be awarded to him.
 X representative of the "Herald' was present at the game yesterday morning and took moving pictures of the plays. These will be shown to Mccarthy at his home some evening during the coming week. it is thought. It was decided that be- cause he could not be there at a game which was played expressly for him. that Frank would be thrilled in seeing the boys who played the game for him, go through the play as they were executed yes tcrday.
 Now comes the classic of the year, the meeting between the All-New Britain and Hartford Blues. This takes place Sunday afternoon at . o'clock at the Tclodrome in East Hartford.
 The tickets for this game admit ting the spectators to the south sec tion which has been chosen as the New Britain cheering section. are on sale in Bridgett's Smoke Shop on Church street and today, the sale was rather heavy.
 New Britain will have q heavy presentation at the game Sunday as it always has at any contest wherein a home team opposes Hartford aggregation. The locals are going to Hartford with an eleven that is banked on by the loyal root CTS here as being able to turn back George Mulligan's gridstcrs.
 The team that will face the Blues Sunday. is one of the best football combinations ever turned out in this city. It compares in all lines with the best teams of the old Nutmegs which were state champions in the years gone by and as the dope here goes. Hartford is due for trimming Sunday.
 The odds In the betting in Hart ford have disappeared today and even money is being asked all around. Up to today. the betting was 10 to on Hartford with little. money being put up. Today even money is being asked and we are afraid that odds will be asked of New Britainites before the game is played. If ever there was an even bet, the game Sunday is one.
 The Velodrome seats will enable a | fan to see the game to good advan- | taCa from any section of the huge | enclosure The New Britain section | is lined up on the south side in sections starting with A. Sections c i and D are the center. The seats are ! ir rows with Row A being the first |. TOW. These wishing to get choice seats for the game, should cop off 1, the good ones immediately,
 The officials for the game have | not yet been chosen but President I Joseph Carr of the National league |, will name three of them from his | staff of officials, They will probably !. he selected from men who have been | working the games out of state.
 Manager Ed Daley almost gave us and several others heart failure this morning by making an announce | ment that Jacques would referee. ! Keefc would umpire and Hart would | he head lincsman.
 Nothing could 60 effectively kill | the attendance at the game than the | naming of these three to officiate at | the game.
 The entire team will be out to | practice tomorrow afternoon in uni form. This will include Walter Con- nors the giant tackle from Norwalk. | The team will be run through all l = lEzE1A . | VH1 T1 x 4I
