BURRITT TEAM TO MEET ALL-PLAINVILLE SUNDAY
Local Club Seeks Revenge Sunday For Two Defeats Suffered
 Last Season.

The Burritt A. c. baseball team will open the season Sunday after noon, meeting the All-Plainville team at the High school field in that town. The Burritts feel confident that they will score victory but they have chosen tough proposition.
 The local team has been prac- ticing faithfully for the last three weeks and all the players are anxious 10 get started. Manager Lasky pre- diets as successful a season as last year. Many new candidates and veterans form squad from which he can pick his eligibles.
 The Plainville combination scored two victories over the Burritts last season. after two hard fought struggles and another hectic struggle is being anticipated. The probable lineup of the locals for the game will be Jarnot, If: "Cobb" Gaida. Of: Luty or Gadomski. If: 1.-Two Point" Adams of basketball fame. 3b; "Stub" Budnick or Flash Bucheri at shortstop.
 Joe Walicli, Joe Budnick or A. Grala will be at the keystone sack with kuklinski or St. Budnick at first. Johnny Rose will probably start on the mound with Salak in reserve while Joe klatka. s. Zaiko or Adam Seipel will be on the re- ceiving end.
 The Burritts will hold a practice at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon at Walnut Hill park. All players arc requested to meet Sunday at ":30 pres for the game will be Ray Ncil and John Guiden.

HIGH SCHOOL ID BATTLE HARTFORD
Ancient Rivals Clash at Willow.
 brook Park Tomorrow

home series between the New Brit ain and Hartford Public High school baseball teams will be played to- morrow afternoon in this city. This has been a year of success for the New Britain team over it's Hartford rival and If the Hardware City team comes through tomorrow 1t will be sure of lead in victories for the year.
 The game was originally sched- ued to be played in Hartford but after conference between the coaches, it was decided to stage the game at Willow Brook park at S:3O o'clock. The game scheduled to be played here on May 2S, will be played in Hartford instead of on the 27th. This will be a Friday and the game will be staged at Colts park after school.
 The New Britain High school football team scored victoriously over the Hartford High football team last fall and won one of the two basketball games. If it suc- ceeds in winning tomorrow after noon's game the worst break 1t might expect for the season is an even one which would be brought about if the second game would be lost and the Hartford Public High school track team should outscore New Britain in the Triangular track meet
 Chances of victory are brighter than most of the New Britainites think The team has been improving with each of it's reverses this year. If the local nine continues to hit as it did in the Weaver game, if Party ka can pitch as well as he seems to be able to pitch and if the fielding of the team improves, New Britain should win.
 So far this season the Red and Gold team seems to be the opposite of its predecessors. Every team that has represented the high school in the last decade could not hit worth hang but could field but the hit and error columns of the team this year are running a neck and neck race for honors.
 Coach Cassidy will probably choose the following to start the game: Zalcski catch: Partyka, pitch; Brombcrg, first base; Vest on. second base: Hinchey. short stop: Matulis. third base; Meehan, left field; Havlick, center field: and Garro. right field. If Frank Begley attains a high enough mark in studies he will be sent in at short stop and Hinchey will probably take over an outficld position. T.. .e--.t-
 Track Men Ready
 Working with the knowledge that it is meeting one of the strongest preparatory school track teams in the state in Suffield the New Britain High school track team has just completed a week of hard work and is out to score q victory. The meet will take place at Willow Brook park Saturday morning.
 With Matulis of the baseball team again ready to take part in the field events and with Reckert. Me- Grath and Zehrer showing improv- ed form the team should be able to score some points in the shot put, discus and javelin throws.
 Reid who scored first place in the high jump in both meets so far this season with Dick Gordon and Arnold Reckert are expected to score at least two places in the high jump.
 Szabo. Lines. Yahn and Captain McGrath vii be entered in the 100 and 2oo yard events. Herby Schick will make strong bid for quarter mile honors and Fred Zehrer will again run the half mile distance.

LOCAL TEAMS IN
 ACTION SUNDAY
Falcons, Corbin Red Sox and Kensington Meet Tough Teams

New Britain baseball teams will be busy over the weekend with the leading outfits swinging into action against some of the best teams in this section. The Falcons, Corbin Red SoX and the All Kensington team will all have their hands full to bring home victories Sunday af- ternoon.
 Fight For Falcons
 The Falcons are meeting an cspe- cially tough customer in the Dia- mond Match Co.,, team of Springfield, which replaces the Brightwood A. (. aggregation for Sunday at St. Mary's field. This is an especially good attraction as the team is known far and wide through New Eng land.
 The Diamond Co. club has the reputation of having one of the fast est semi-pro hines in this section of the country and many well-known diamond performers are playing in the lineup. The Falcons have won four straight games and are out to take the fifth tomorrow.
 Russ Fisher will probably again draw the pitching assignment be- cause Ginger Cleary is still ill and unable 10 take part in any games. The remainder of the lineup will be the same as last week.
 Sox to Meridcn
 Tho F cd Soy ,ril f,,r,,;pl, ,Lo e, position for the Meriden Insilcos at Hanover park Sunday in the first game of the year for the Silver City team. The Insilcos have an imposing lineup gathered together and al- trough the team hasn't played as a whole yet, the sox will have tough going.
 The battle between the two teams will give the fans an idea of the comparat tive strength of two entries in the Central Connecticut league. Both are entered but Sundays en- cunter will not be a league contest.
 Lefty Buckland will probably receive the pitching assignment from Manager Johnny Tobin with Huband behind the bat.
 kcn,ingtOn to Play
 The All-k kcnsineton team will meet the Crimsons of Hartford at the Per clval avenue grounds in kensinston. The Hartford team will meet a band Of players "Io are already tired of being defeated and Manager Dan Malarney confidently expects to score the first win of the season at the expense of inc Capital City outfit.
 Scotl or Charlie Yale will draw the pitching assignment in the south "cnd while Emmons or 'oN'os will occupy the mound for the Hartford tcam.

NEW CALLS AIR FARLEY.
Post once Officials and Contractors
to Meet at Chicago.

A conference of post Office officials
and air mail contractors has been
called by Postmaster General New, to
be held at Chicago October % to de.
termine what change in the parcel
post rate Is necessary. The present
rate is the same as for letters-1O
cents for each half ounce.
The Post Office Department, Mr.
New said does not wish to fix any
rate of postage on this class of mail
matter which will conflict with the air
express business now being handled by
the contractors. 1t will be necessary
for Congress to sanction any change
in the existing air mail law before a
new parcel post rate can be put in
effect.
