 The Corbin Red Sox will play the ocony team of New London in the lhaling City next Sunday. Four lccessive times the local team has cen brought back to a locality of bout a five mile area and each time
 record crowd has turned out 10 atch the play. There must be a gal attraction when the Red Sox lay because of the numbers of peo- Ie they bring out.

 Manager Pat Buckley of the |ensington team is an early riser ld he just called us up to state lat his team will practice tonight 'oviding it doesn't rain. If it does in, he wants to impress it upon the layers of his team that they will all bye to be on hand Thursday eve Ing at 5:30 o'clock ready to start |r Meriden.

 There may be some developments ! the city series pretty soon. The lea that seems most favorable to |e majority of managers and play Is is to have the three leading hms in the city, the Falcons, Cor |n Red Sox and Kensington, hook in temporary league, lay out a (hedule of about nine games and |ve the standing count for the hm that is to win the champion lip. This seems to be a fair shake |r all the teams and will give the Eal fans a chance to see their | me teams battling against one an her.
 |The championship team of the (y would then go after the Bristol fw Departure team for an inter- |y series and this means some |seball in store for local fans. The Rnagers will probably get together the very near future to talk over |e matter and details in connec- (n with the proposition and it is | r fond hope that there will be no talcitrant or reluctant manager in |e city. lit is a pleasure to \See some Of E state teams in action, but what greater pleasure and drawing card | is 10 see the local teams battling out for the city championship. An lair of the latter kind has more crest in it than any meeting with her state teams. Due to the good sportsmanship | bwn by Manager Williams of the ! ion Works, the managers decided allow the Union Works and the ssell & Erwin teams to play their ffeited game of last week over hin. It will be remembered that k game was forfeited to the Union brks by Umpire Herby Sautter en the R. & E. team was not put the field |'he forfeit would have stood eX- bt that Manager Williams told the eting that his team would rather | | the game over than accept the | felt because his players wished to l | their games by playing them or at all. So, one win will now be len off the Union Works and one s from the R. & E. team, This will clean up the only post he'd game of long standing in the
 que, all others having been played | II the exception of those of last
