 Charley Huber, star pitcher of the Landers' baseball team in the h. dustrial league, left today to enter Tufts college in Boston. Huber or Lefty" as he is more familiarity known, should make a great name for himself on the athletic field in college as he has a long string of athletic achievements in this his home city. He starred on the New Britain High school baseball team and he also pitched about the city on various amateur teams before he decided to enter college. His great est feat was his work as the first string pitcher for the championship Landers team in the Industrial league.
 The world series starts next Sat urday at the Yankee stadium in New York. All this week, the Car dinals will hold daily practice on the New York diamond and by Satur- day the players should be thorough ly accustomed to all the angles of that spacious baseball park.
 The Yankees are more fortunate with regards to the St. Louis field as the Yankees have been playing there all season long.
 The "Herald" will use the playo- graph this year the same as it has successfully done for the past few years. Details of the series, the time, place and other items connect ed with it, will be given during the week so that fans who are planning to witness the games as depicted on the board, should keep tabs on the game.
 George Mulligan Is making plans to secure some football players be- fore the next game with the Frank fort Yellow Jackets. Had the genial sports promoter whom Hartford has adopted, signed up last years All New Britain club instead of taking just a few of them, he wouldn't have any trouble in giving any and all the National league teams a real battle during the season.
 It Is certain that those who saw last Sundays game, were not satis- fled with the game against the New York Giants. The Hartford team is getting hard banning on all sides and this does not mean that New Britain fans alone are handing out the dope. The Hartford people who saw the team in action last Sunday are rather hard on Mulligans charges.
 We again repeat that in our esti- nation, George Mulligan is one of the finest shooting sportsmen in the east and We hope, against the scnti- ment, we realize, of many of the football fans in this city, that he will experience much success in the conduct of the fall sport in Hart ford.
 There is only one thing that We are awaiting this year and that is the settlement of a date between All-New Britain and Mulligan's Blues.
 Last year Mulligan had to hire the best in the country to beat New Britain and from the looks of things at present, he will have to do the same again this year, if he wants to cop one game from New Britain.
 With Peter Perokas as interested In the team as he is at the present time, we see where New Britain will have a tea,1 surpassed by none by the time a permanent organization Is perfected
 New players are being sought to | fill in holes which have been noted | in the teams defense and offcnse. | Manager Ed Daley has the players | in mind and if he is able to reach | them, there won't be any trouble in l New Britain having a sweet foot ball team.
 Just for the sake Of comparison, | although we know that Dutch" | Connors will not play here this year, we would like to name off what | would be a perfect outlay for New | Britain this year. Take "Butsy" i Sturm at left halfback where he has 1 already shown his mettlc this year. "Silent John" Davis can fill tho l fullback position efficiently and then take "Dutch" Connors at the right 1 halfback position and it looks as if New Britain would l. all set.
 Then, take another combination that should work out well. Put Hunt who is really a halfback and not quarterback, at halfbacb with Sturm and Davis and take Thompson and put him in at quarterback and New Britain would have another sweet backfeld.
 Carl Brink, it is said, felt pretty badly about dropping the forward pass in last Sundays game but we don't see a thing to feel so badly over Seeing the number of fum- bcs the New Britain players com mitted last Sunday, Brink wasn't any worse than any of the others and he must remember that every one drops one once in while.
