New Britain herald., 1926-03-12

woods of Hartford last night IS significant event in the junior pas ketball circles of the state, especlally in view of the fact that the burrltts w,ll hook up again a week from to- morrow night with the National Guard Reserves for the city cham pionship.
 This meeting of the junior local teams will not only be for the city championship but will also have bearing on the state title because through it, one or the other Of the two teams will be eliminated from the race for the Nutmeg bonors.
 Although negotiations between | the managers of the Burritts and the Guard Reserves have not yet been completed, 1t is reported that the two mogul are planning to ar range to play three games, the win ner being decided by the best two out of three. This will have four local teame playing for the next three Saturday nights, providing each team wins a game.
 This will also decide without any oueytion which team Is superior, the Durritts or the Reserves There has been a great deal of talk about the prowess of these two fiVes, but compared 10 each other, they are now on an equal footing. Eacn has won a game from the other.
 Although 1t has been announced that after tomorrow nights game no other contests with state teams would be played at the State armory Manager Clarence Lanpher of the National Guards yesterday stated that he has not decided to stop play after the series with the American Legion team. He has in mind few games yet that would be attrac- tions for the fans of this city among which are the Dixies of Hartford and the Meriden Endees. It ap- pears that there is strong demand in the city for the appearance Of the DtXies here.
 Ii Is also interesting to note that suggestion put in this column some time ago has been accepted by the Bristol Endces and New Haven Atlas over playing the de- ciding game at the Satc arrnory in this city. Each team has won a game from the other and the de- ciding tit will be a classic.
 If the Atlas Endcc deciding game should be played In New Britain, there would hardly te room enough h the state urmory for all the fans who would like 10 attend. Besides all of the Bristol and New Haven tans who would be on deck to watch the tilt, all of the fans Of New Brit ain would want to attend.
 Nothing has been decided with re- gard to this game as yet as many de tails have 10 be arranged before Il can be settled.
