Manager Pat Buckley Of the All Kensington baseball team. has an- nounced that the team will open the season of 1926 in Simsbury Sun day. The peculiar part about this opening game will be the fact that the lineup hasn't been decided on yet. 4 practice session will be held tonight at 6:30 o'clock and d team will be selected to take the field against the Valley Town team Sum- day. This will not be the final se- lection, according to the manager, because the others who are not Se- lected for berths on Sunday will be given a chance in actual competi- tion on the following Sundays.
 The Simsbury team is a tough op- ponent for any team at any time and Manager Buckley in selecting that aggregation for his opening day trial, is surely giving his charges a real test, The Simsbury nine has always been near the top in the Pennington Valley league and gen. erally boasts or a sweet aggregation of baseball players.
 Nevertheless, Buckley is confident that Kensington will win it's first game. He stated today that he only wished he could hold onto the 80 or more candidates for the team, all season long because the quality Of the players represented at the prac- tice sessions is such that it will be most difficult matter to try to select the best team.
 That is one of the reasons why the manager win not select definite ly a team until around Memorial day. He doesn't wish to have any of the candidates think that they arc being dropped because they will not be selected for the game Sunday. as they will be given an opportunity in actual competition on the Sundays to follow.
 Manager Buckley also wants to have his team whipped into pretty good shape before he opens the home season and for that reason, he will play the first few games away from home.

Herby Sautter is following in the footsteps of his late uncle, Tom Lynch, in baseball. Herby started out to be a catcher but has turned to the more lucrative and promising umpiring end. Yesterday he um- pired the game between the Connec- ticut Aggies and Clark university and did a good job of it. He apparently has the inside track on this job and it will probably serve as the ground work for bigger and better fields as the years go by.

Two "Connectcut Yankees" are proving to be the sensations of the baseball world in junior colleges down in Alabama, according to despatches arriving in this city from Birmingham. They arc 'Hal' Beagle and Babe" Neipp, two former New Britain high school stars. Both did great work for the Birmingham-South team in the opening game which was carried on for Il innings before being decided.
 Beagle who led the High school batters in his preparatory days for four years, had field day with the willow. He connected with four safeties, one of them being terrific clout that was good for trip around the bases. According to Birmingham papers, it was the longest hit ever made at Munger field.

do its relentless work. But the
train won the race and both boy
and dog were struck. Bobby was
killed and the dog was injured.
Thus is recorded another of the in
explamable tragedies which fill

suffer, but Bobby leaves bralleu-
hearted dog, a Father aud Mother
who cannot be comfoytad, besides
hundreds of other loved ONES, to
feel that every life must sooner
or later play the tragic role.
