New Britain herald., 1926-09-14

I to be a red hot football town and ! the talk along the stem of late would give any stranger that inn pression. The announcement that | the All-New Britain football team was to be formed again this year, : is not very old, but despite this, the fans are all eager to see the team . in action.
 With the announcement that the management yesterday closed with | the Suspicion, l.. l., team definitely for a game on Sunday, October 1I, | in that city, it is settled that the local team is in for the season. The game for next sunday
 is not yet chosen though de- |velopments are expected to reach a head today.
 It will be either Newark or the
 Stonewalls of Holyoke who will ap- near here for the first game and either team will be a real attrac-
 ton,
 Manager Edward !. Daley, the Tex Rickard of Church street, has been busy for the past few davS' wiring here and there for players with whom he wants to come 10 terms. Although it is not permis- sible at this time to give out the names of the players being sought wa can say this much that the AIi- New Britain team will be goot' |anough to stand up against the best
 in the country after its team Work
 is developed,
 DonIan. the big tackle from New
 Haven was in Hartford last Sunday
 working out with Mulligan's Hart
 ford Blues, but he hasn't signed
 uith the team. Manager Daley
 ,,onAs +o get in touch with him be-
 fore tomorrow and chances are
 hat he will be signed.
 The team will practice for the first lime tomorrow night at the Ista+e armory on Arch street T ms
 ,.ni nrobar,ly be the only pracuce
 ,i~ht this season as the officials ol Inc club are not in favor of getting
 he players here when only It"
 or them can get around.
 The probable plan of the man 7gement will be to bring tne i'le'n. ~ {2ors of the squad here SaturuaS
 ,irht so that they will be on tune
 n the morning. This would give
 ha team a chance to work out for
 loast three hours on Sunday
 morning.
 welcome sight should be Tom .Humphries, the Bridgeport boy
 vhose work at guard has been
 ,evelation in past years. Tom IS one
 Fellow whom the New Britain team lid not have to seek. He wrote to Manager Daley asking for posi- ion on the team and the answer
 T., received back was that his posi- ion is waiting for him to fill it.
 We would like to see Joe Rogers and Barnikow back in the Hard .pare City fold. Barney won't toom natural playing in a Hartford S3lucs uniform. Neither will Zip zohrer nor Rcd" O'NeiI. If we 1on't miss our guess, the season |yon't be many days old before this rio is back with the locals.
 The line of games that are being planned on to be played at home lh his city are such that the fans here hvn be given real treats on all home dates. There are other games when kill have to be played out of town and on theso days, other attractions kill probably occupy the time of the followers of the gridiron game.
 Looking over the schedule which 3 has been announced for Mulligan Zines. we find that there are two |oncn dates near the end ot the sea .son. We wonder if these were leit 'nnan for New Britain? We hope so.
 We just heard from Daley that he Newark team has been elilnlnat- | 4d for next Sunday. At the tune or his writing, efforts were being made n get in touch with the Holyoke |stonewall team for the coming sun l |lay,
 The American Legion baseball keam will most probably hook up Tn !, double header with the team rep l,esenting Rhode Island in this city Eat,lrdav afternoon. Because of this, he first game will be started promptly at ? o'clock Saturday afternoon. Tho protest entered by Howard |rimbrell and Larry Mangan before last Saturdays game will be settled before the contest starts this coming Eaturday. The two local men put m l, protest when they viewed the size bf the RnOde lSldllu itttlll bllu 'N"'N hat no birth certificates had been Iubmitted to show that these boys were 16 years or under. NO boy who on or before December 31, 192o becomes 17 years of age, is eligible nlav with any Legion team and it is found that tho Rhode Island team members are over age, and hey certainly appeared to. be last Ea.urday, the game certainly will not count as a defeat for New Britain
 Alonzo c. Frost. the veteran |,yclist of this city who went to D. C., 10 attempt to ride from there to Boston in 50 hours was compelled because of heavy rains which he met in Philadelphia, 10 give up the trial.
 He left the office of the Washing | ion Post September at 2:35 a. m,
