New Britain herald., 1926-08-13

The baseball playoH for this sea- son in this city was about settled last night when at a meeting. Man agers Pat Buckley of Kensington and John Tobin of the Corbin Red Sox. decided to stage a series of three out of five games between their team. The dates run from August 22 to October IT,
 The fans of the city are going to have enough real goods baseball right up to the end of the season and beyond that, according to the schedules as they stand at present. There are some who are of the opinion that a three out of five | series will be too prolonged, but this | is a matter of opinion, of course.
 A series, two out of three, should | decide any supremacy between | teams, some say, because the inter- est is liable to die down when a longer playoff is held, but there will | be plenty of interest in the games if the teams come out winning two each. The Falcons and Kensington hop of Sunday in Kensington and the Sox and Kensington get going the week following. The first game will give an indication of just how the a11r tfNc ct other.
 Many have been asking about football team this coming fall. With out knowing anything definite about the matter, we are prone to say that New Britain will have a football team this fall. According to what we have heard. negotiations have been opened up with several of the men who were members of the team last year and some, though not actually signed, are ready to affiX their signatures to contracts at any time.
 It has also developed that the West Sides in Hartford are to have q, team this year. In speaking with two of the members of the club just a few days ago, we asked about the prospects for the coming season and according to them, the West Sides will have crack team in the field and will play in Hartford. This means opposition to George Mulli- gan and his National league team.
 This may mean a great deal and it may mean nothing. Mulllgan Will stage his games at the new velo- drome and the West Sides will prob- ably seek Clarkin Field.
 Doctor Dave Waskowitz refuses to have anything to say about a team here until he has returned from his vacation. He leaves next week and will do nothing until he gets back. But again, we say, New Britain will have team, because there are others vitally interested who would be glad to take over the guiding reins.
 We hope to have something very definite to say about this matter within the next few days because there are many football fans in this city who are anxious to know,
 Somebody in the Rangers A. C started something yesterday wher they wrote an article into this de partment stating that the presen Ranger team is better than the olt one which disbanded in June. To day two members of the old tean visited this office and hurled { challenge at the new team.
 The team that wishes to play thu Rangers (the new team) will b. composed solely of members of tn former team and they are willlnt to wager their shirts, both cleal and dirty, that they can trim tn \ baseball team that appears in tn City league under the name Of tn Rangers now.
 Now that the Rangers have n game for Sunday, the ReidV1li manager having cancelled tn scheduled game, wouldn't it be wei to settle this argument immediate ly on next Sunday?
 We are firm believers in the state ment that the only place that baseball argument can be finishe to the satisfaction of all partle concerned, is on the baseball fiel and not in the club rooms CT on tn curbstones. So, the place to decid whether the disbanded team or th new team Is the better Range team. is on the diamond where tn two outfits can fight to thei hearts content.
 The Falcons are to practice tc night at 6:30 o'clock at St. Mary field in preparation for the oper ing game of the series with her sington in that town Sunday I'll Falcon players will be put throug a stiff WorKouJ dnu ai must be on hand.
