Manager John Tobin of the Corbin
Red Sox, seeing the letter of Man
ager Joe Venisld of the Falcons in
the Herald" last night, telephoned
to him during the, evening and ar
ranged to meet him in the office of
the Herald" Monday night at $3.50
o'clock to discuss the probability of
the teams playing in a series.
Just what propositions will be adj
ranced by the managers who will
hold the battle of words on Monday
night, have not been revealed but the
major portion of the baseball fans
in this city are hoping that an ami
cable settlement may be reached.
The Falcons demurred in the first
agreement on allowing the Corbin
Red Sox an equal split on the pro-
eeeds from the games and this put
the city title series in the air. If a
different proposition is advanced
Monday evening, the two teams may
get together.
The Falcons and Kensington will
play the second game of their series
at st. Mary's field Sunday afternoon.
The Kensington team through its
showing of last Sunday against the
Corhin Red Sox, gives promise of
making a real com eback against the
New Britain aggregation Sunday.
The Kensington outfit folded in
great style and played a careful
game. Except for two mistakes
which proved costly, the team show
ed UP we'll. Weakness in hitting may
be attribuy'd to the wonderful form
in which Berg was on the day. Sun
days game may be a different story
because although We haven't had any
dope at all on the subject, we
supect that the same Berg who beat
Kensington last Sunday, will face
the Falcons as a member Of the
Kensington team.
With Berg in the box the Falcons
may well realize that they have
tough proposition ahead and If we
don't miss our guess, Kensington is
liable to tie p the series Sunday
afternoon.
The expectation is that because Of
this turn in events, that the game
Sunday will be a whiz-bang and
without any doubt at all, Kensing-
ton wants to hit its winning stride
and come through.
The annual battle for the city
tennis championship starts tomor-
row with the singles matches on the
New Britain Tennis club courts on
Lincoln Road. The real class of net
stars in this city is contained in the
entry list and even the first round
is to bring through some tough bat
ties. Kron, city champion for 1925.
is favored by many to repeat this
year though he is expected to have
some stiff opposition from Art Ben
son. who came through to win the
club championship this year. Ben
son was named the other day as the
city champion, but this was an err
ror as he is only club champion and
Kron holds the laurels from the city
tournament last year.
The Eddy-Glover post team of |
New Britain got an early start this |
morning for New Haven where it |
will meet the Ridgef1eld team at 10 |
o'clock in the semi-finals of the |
str Q championship play in the AM
erican Legion league. The teams |
were to have played yesterday after
noon but due to the morning rain
and the wet condition of the field,
the game was called off.
The New Milford team had start
ed to New Haven before word
reached them that the game had
been called off and as the weather
cleared yesterday. afternoon, the
team clashed with the New Haven
team. New Haven won the game
and that team will clash with the
winner of this mornings game in
the final state championship match
this afternoon at 8 o'clock
New Britain is being coun ed on
to win through this morning and
take New Haven in this afternoons
game. The team will not want for
rooters in both of the games be-
cause the First District delegates
and others who are attending the
convention.
The football situation as far as
senior professional team is con-
cerned is absolutely at a standstill.
Since Doc" Waskowitz withdrew
from the field, no other promoter
has come forward to take his place.
Several have been mentioned in ,
connection with the promotion of
the team.
One whose name has been con-
