 There have been several stories about New Britain to the effect that | the heavyweight championship bat tie between Jack Dempsey and Gene | Tunney would not be announced | throughout the country by news | papers, but this is a mistaken idea. |
 The fight will be announced round by round from the windows ot the Herald" the same as in all the other important fistic battles and we will do our best to make 1t certain that everyone hears the re- turns clearly and without interrup- ton.
 There have been complaints on some of the fights that fans at one end of the street have been unable 10 hear the announcements. If that is so tomorrow night, and the crowd is large enough, we will guarantee that each round will be announced both East and West. Should the crowd, for instance, extend down Church street towards the depot, we will have to swing the megaphone first East and then West to an- nounce each round twice.
 The exact time and other details of the bout will be given either to- day or tomorrow and to those who are unable to attend the fight or hear 1t over the radio, we will do our best to give them the service from the Associated Press wire which vii be situated Immediately at the ringside.
 The bout will be broa dcasted on the air and there will be many VITO will want to hear it over their re- ceivjng sets. To those who wontt have the opportunity, they are in vited to hear the returns from the Herald"
 The big bout will be started at 10 o'clock in Philadelphia and the re- turns will come over the wire short ly after that 10 be announced. The "Herald" Industrial Athletic trophy which was won for 1926 by the Russell & Erwin team at the second annual track and field meet held at Memorial field, Is on display in the windows of Porter 6 Dyson's store on Main street and may be viewed there by all who would like to see 1t.
 It Is beautiful trophy and one of which the R. & E. athletes are proud. Hicks the star athlete, through whose work the winning of the cup for the first year was made possible, states that the Russwin team is out to win the cup for three years SO that they will have per- manent possession of it.
 It will be presented to the win- ming outfit in the very near future.
 Although the baseball season In the biz leagues is coming to an end, this week, the local baseball situa- ,;on is becoming more interesting as the season wanes. The Falcons ana Kensington clash Sunday is attract ing more interest than anything else and we wouldn't be at all surprised fo see a. record breaking crowd at the game next Sunday.
 Announcements today also bring to light two good games which are slated for Walnut Hill park Satur- dsv afternoon. Two champion teams will clash there at 2 o'clock on Diamond No. 2 in a. battle that should be one of the best of the en- fire year. Landers, Frary & Clark, title holder in the Industrial league and the Burritts, winners Of the Clty league pennant, will stage little world series of their own to find out which team is the stronger.
 At 2:S0 o'clock on Diamond No. 1, Frank McConp's Stanley Works entry in the Industrial league, will clash with the American Tube and Stamping team of Bridgeport. The Park City team represents one or the subsidiary concerns of the 6tanley Works and there isn't any doubt, hut what the two teams vii stage real battle.
 Football fans have a treat in store for them Sunday afternoon when the Holyoke Professionals, an aggrega- ton that has some reputation Tn as.achusetts, comes here to lace the Au-New Britain Reds. inc Holyoke lineup is an imposing one and from all reports. the locals will find the team a much harder one to crack than the New Haven Blues.
 Tbe All-New Britains will practice tonight at the state armory on Arcn street and Coach Dave Hayes prom. ,.e, to make the players and candl' dates swat. He will work nara ana ,ons at the offensive end Of the ,,ne this week while he will not entirely desert the defensive
 rha rarne last Sunday was pack .d with thrills in the last quarter and the fans are satisfied that Ne" Rrit,in has d real contender. If the Holyoke team comes up to expecta' lions, then Sundays game ll'pe a corker and one that will be wei worth seeing.
