 The credit for the outfit which represents Eddy Glover post, belongs to Larry Mangan who Is probably the best baseball rooter that ever came off "Nigger Hill" Larry, be- cause of his own youngsters, has a way with boys that cant be beaten and his heart is right in the local team. If the boys don't go long ways, 1t won't be Larry's fault
 Berlin and New Britain will clash in this city Friday night and need less to say, there will be a large delegation of fans out to see the game. Bristol is scheduled to play Berlin in the Paper Goods town to- night.
 George Mulligan is off to great start In preparation for the coming football season. The genial sports promoter dropped into town for a few minutes yesterday and remained long enough to say that he will be
 
 and McGraw this year. He expects to hold onto Ed Garvey for the coming season, but emphatically stated that he was all done with Stuhldreher, the famous member of the Four Hersemen.
 Harry pulled down 8 good price from Mullisan last year and George rightly thinks that he can get four good players for what he paid Harry last year.
 pr. Dave Waskewitz has been keeping under cover anent the local football situation and there are many in the city who are of the opinion that New Britain will be without a professional team this year. Doc swore off football after last year when he became the tar get for a number of scurrilous newspaper articles especially from Waterbury, but New Britain is be- hind him to a T.
 We certainly wouldn't like to see the Doc pull out of football. Hes too good a. man to have him remove himself from the professional field. He has given New Britain real foot ball In the last few years and we wish him many more years of sue cess in the future.
 There are a number of games still to be played in the New Brit ain Industrial league, most of them being postponed contests. R. & E. has game with the Union Works postponed from July 17 to play off The Stanley Rule has two games, one with Corbins scheduled July S1 and the other with Landers sched- uled for last Saturday. Corbins have another with the Stanley Works which was postponed last Saturday. The fifth postponed rame is the one scheduled for July Sl between the New Britain Machine and the Union Works.
 The Stanley Rule and Fafnir game will not be played this com ing Saturday but efforts are being made to have the game played to- morrow night The R. 6o E.-Corbin game scheduled for this coming Saturday. will probably be played Friday night. though a decision on tl'is Is awaited at the present time. 
 There are three more regularly scheduled sets of games to be played between the teams in the league be- fore the season comes to close. This loop will finish play on August $, according to the schedule.
 The City lea que will finish play on September II, and we suggest that the two champion teams or each league play a series for the championship among league teams in this city.
 The Boys league is fast coming to a close with five more games to be played. A lulu of game Is scheduled for Friday between the Paradise Parks and the Boys club teams. Either of these is within striking distance of the Washing ton team, leader in the league. Both will fight it out Friday for the chance to tie the Washington team.
 Washington has three more games to play and the team must meet the Boys club and Paradise , Park, two tough games. The other game is with Burritt. If Wash ington loses to the Boys club and to Paradise Park and these two teams win their remaining games Washington will be tied for first place.
 Of course, Friday will settle which team will have the oppor- tunity bt cause either the Paradise Parks e Boys club must lost Frl- day. This should be one of the best games of the entire season.
 There are going to be some tough fights In the windup of the league because the race has become so close that any team Is liable to cop the championship and win out for the trip that is promised the boys,
 The Washington team is without the services of I.ipka. who has joined the American Legion team and will not play with Washington again. This takes away the star pitcher of the team and leaves the boxn1en of the Washingtons to bear the burden of the onslaughts of the
