 All-New Britain has to beat the New London Submarine Base eleven Sunday to prove to the fans of this city that it has any chance at all against Mulligans Hartford Blues week from today. That is the sentl- ment being expressed through thls city by the fans on all sides.
 From advance dope on the New London team and judging it from US work on the gridiron this season, tbat's going to be a tough assign ment for Coach Dave Hayes crew. The New London team is stronger fbis year than ever before and the players want to beat New Britain.
 Barnikow and Donlon have still game to play on New Britain held. Both these men played in the game ngainst "Red" Grange in Hartford but they haven't appeared before the home crowds yet.
 Manager Ed. Daley is making at tempts this week to strengthen ms team in one or two departments. He ,s making an attempt to secure "shep" Bingham for one of the "lhs nositions. "Shep" has been playing with the Brooklyn Horsemen' the American League team of which Harry Stuhldreher is captain ana It is likely that he will be allowed u play in New Britain.
 Efforts which up to date have not heen successful. have also been 1ilauo "a sarure "Dutch" Connors for the two games. The New Britain team needs a kicker and Connors would be inst the man to fill in this spot "Dutch" beat the Hartford team last year in the first game with two peau- tiful dropkiclls and the New nri.- ain team needs him.
 He is a candidate to 1oln tne roach association and he fears that he p.i,l be ineligible if he doesn't keep away from professional loo'- ball.
 Some have asked how these play hrs can be included in the list ol names which Manager Daley has al ready submitted to President Joseph Carr of the National league. when inc list was submitted, George Mulli- gan stated that should he be unable, to get some of the players mentioned or some of the players were injured and therefore unable to play, others could be secured as long as they were eligible to play.
 New Britain has three ends at the present time, Conley, Holzhelmer and Brink and another is needed. That's where Bingham would fill In. The team also needs another half hack and a real kicker and that's where Connors would fill in. We hope Daley will be successful m getting both men.
 Lieutenant Mather of the New London Submarine Base eleven has boasted for the past three weeks that his team will beat New Britain Sunday. Well, if the New London team can beat the locals. 1t is a mighty good team.
 Monday nights fight card in Hart ford is one that will bring out every true fight fan in the state. The principals in the main bout are from widely separated nationalities, both being real representatives of their respective races.
 Person is a Swede right from the country which manufactures people of that race. Pat Mccarthy comes from Ireland and is said to be mix ture of Tippcrary and Clare stock and any Irishman knows what a combination that means in fight.
 Tipperary Is noted for it's fighting men. Clare is noted for its clever and might men and when man has both bloods in his veins, 1t naturally must follow that he Is fighter of no mean ability.
 Person hasn't been in this country for a great while yet, but since his arrival here. he has been beating everything in sight. He was credited with loss last Monday night in Madison Square Garden, New York, when he fouled Bud German, but he was far ahead in the battle when the low blow caused his disqualification.
 The meeting between him and Mccarthy brings a heavy hitter with deadly jock and a clever, experi. enced be CT together. Mccarthy has also ( ,Sastating wallop that is liable to land at any moment and it appears that one or the other will sink to sleep before the nights en- tertainment is over.
