John Gunshanan of Hartford is planning to take up with the direc- tors of the National league, the Qucs- ton of erecting a monument to the late Thomas J. Lynch. If he pursues this through, he will be sure to have the backing of the entire populace of New Britain.
 He also seeks to have big league team come to this city 10 play some time during the season. The Falcons will probably be chosen as the oppo- nents of the major leaguers.
 Bobby Garcia who meets Louis (Kid) Kaplan at the Hartford arena on June 2S for the featherweight championship of the world, has been ordered to do his training in this state beginning June IS. Com missioner Thomas Donohue has talk on this step so that Connecticut fans will see the challenger right on the ground and may be able to judge in what shape he will be for the fight.
 Governor John II. Trumbull and his staff have been invited to attend the bout as guests of the promoter, George F, Muligan.
 Meyer Cohen, sensational Holyoke wel'erweight, who beat George Le- vine right after Levine had spoiled Tommy Nilligan's chance for a shot at the weter title, is confident that he will beat Lew Tender when they meet in the semi-ftnal to the kaplan- Garcia bout,
 Efforts 10 win a prediction from Kid" Kaplan on the outcome of the battle have been fruitlesS. Kaplan is long on fighting and short on talk ing.
 Several portals are being built at the Arena so that all the confusion attendant on fights in this state will be missing. Tickets will be sold at each gate and in that way. every fan will have a chance to get a ticket and a seat.
 Two extraordinarily good base | ball teams are coming to play for tho pleasure of the fans in this city ! this coming Sunday. One is the i Lenox A. C. of Wallngford. which . wiHmeet the Falcons at St, Marys field. and the other is the Hudson A. : C.of New Haven, which will play the Kensington team in Kensington.
 The Lenoy is a fighting nine that will make the Falcons step every time. "Duch" Liedke will be on the firing line in all probability and he knows tho number of most Of the Falcons by now and should give them a good battle.
 The New Haven JIudsons have won the semi pro championship of the state on various occasions and they have combination that makes up a nigh class team. Last year, the outit met the New Haven ProfS, of the Eastern League and played them 70 6 stdndsti,l.

 Red" Matulis is the new captain i of the Nv Britain High school q baseball team and this is the ex- [ ample Of reaping the fruits or hard work. Matulis has been a worker on I both the basketball and the baseball l. squads and his selection as captain [ of the diamond crew next year will V be q popular one with the entire V body. h There is one regret connected c with the awarding or the Burns Me n noriaiTroph to Henry T. Bray.and n that is that his father, one Of the F keenest Of fans at High school C games. wasn't present 10 rejoice in II the accomplishments of his son.
