 Manager Harry Lenifan has had a pack of trouble with his team this year in keeping players. He started off with likely looking | squad and some of his best players | have left him.

 A number of teams have made i inquiries about the intentions of l the Orioles with regard to the city | league. They would like to take a | place in the league providing the l Orioles are to withdraw. We would | suggest that the managers of these l hines get in touch with Commits | sioner James J. Naughton and file | their applications. Three teams representing the | American Legion posts In this city | Berlin and Bristol, have entered | the first district baseball league and | the managers will be asked to meet | at the Eddy-Glover post rooms on | Washington street next Tuesday night. It is hoped to start play in the league the latter part of next week and if possible to play series of | three games between each team. l This will be decided when the managers get together.
 The hard luck which has been chasing "Chucky" Wojack this sea- son has finally forced him to repair 10 his home in this city for rest. He has been bothered with bad | lonsils for some time and only re- f"ntly had them cut He did not recover as rapidly as he expected md the result was that he was orced to quit playing ball and is | his home in this city for a rest.
 It Is q question whether he will pc able to play any more this year pr not.
