year will be anywhere near as good as it was last the Falcons are In for a hot battle Sunday afternoon. The Meriden crew has sweet ag- gregation of ball tossers and with Casey Naglc finging them from the slab, there is likely to be little hitting.
 Manager Joe Veniskl Of the Fall cans is beset with the problem of which pitcher to use in Sundays game. He has four twirlers to call on including B. Kania. Jaglowslii, Scott and Politis and any one of this quar- tet is an ace on the mound. He is also well fortified behind the bat with Benson or Kopec to do the backstopping.
 Simon Budnick at short is the best addition the team has made this year. Simon, back with the old Col Hers, used to play left field. Then he graduated into the inheld and found his home as far as baseball is concerned. In fact, the right wing of the Falcons team will be made up of the two Budnicks, simon and his brother Billy. Bill will be on third base and Simon at short and this gives the team an almost impreg- nable defense at short and third.
 But that isn't all It also gives the nine an added hitting power that will make the lineup q terror to all visiting teams. And if either of these takes a day off, Billy Wojak, Chucky's brother, stands ready 10 step in.
 On the other side of the diamond, Johnny Klatka, one of tho most re- liable first sackors in the city will do his stuff at the initial sack and Joe Kania will show his wares at the midway station.
 In the outfield, a trio Of sweet fly chasers will work to cut down the hits. Jervis will be in left, kredar in center and Ferguson in right. Ferguson is a hard hitting addition to tho team this year and will add to the run scoring power of the team.
 Looking them over closely, the Falcons have a powerful baseball nine this season and one that will have to be rcckoned with in com putting the chances Of the teams for the championship of the city. Just how the team will go will be seen Sunday afternoon in the first game with the Mohawks.
 The Burritt A. c. baseball team will practice at St. Mary's field Sat urday afternoon at o'clock and all members of the team are asked to be present as hard workout is in pros pect,
 Members of the club are also ask ed to keep in mind the fact that there is a meeting at the club rooms Sunday morning at 11;30 o'clock.
 Twice in succession now, Merwin Jacobson has been instrumental in scoring one of the runs that won ball games for the Brooklyn Dodgers Enc day before yesterday he was sent in to run for Cox and scored the first of three counters that put the game on the shelf for the Robins Yesterday again in the eighth in- ming, he was once more put on the paths for Cox. He advanced to sec ond on sacrifice and went to third on long fly by Wheat.
 Jack Fournier was walked and then Felix drove out a three bagger sending in Merky and Fournier with the tieing and winning runs,
 The so-called baseball game be- tween Hartford and Bridgeport at Clarkin Field in Hartford yesterday, was played in what would be per feet weather. Some New Britain fans who attended the game swore that they would not go to another baseball game n Hartford untl! tn weather warmed up.
 The players all had 10 ka3p blow. ing in their ha ads yesterday in order to keep them warm. In the absence of pockets in their uniforms, their fingers were almost frost bitten When a liner was hit out to any of them, the spectators could clearly sec them vince when the ball struck their hands.
 Tho crowd at the game was very, very slim. and no ono can blame anyone for keeping away from the baseball park on day when tho chill blasts Of yesterday blow across the field.
 The outstanding features Of tho game were the home runs made by Yank Yordy and Joe Cosgreve of Bridgeport, two of Waterbury's mainstGys last year. Words hit seemed more llEo golf drive but 1t cleared the left field wall.
 Marty Shay took fine riding from a group Of Hartford fans. Marty Was sent tr Bridgeport not long ago from Hartford and the Hartford fans take delight in keep ing after him. Yesterday they kept after him about the errors he made in the game against Waterbury. They hollered at him that he sold inc game.
