With the opening OF the major
baseball league only about twc
weeks away, activity in the base bal
line in this city has started to tax.
| shape. Already several junior
teams, unable to stand the Ions
wait through spring until the balmy
summer weather really ushers in
the playing season. have been II
action while the older teams are
working in the formation OF ball
clubs for the coming year.
Activity in the Falcon camp has
| been confined to paper work in lin
ing up candidates for the team that
viii represent the club this year and
the plans for the team. Frank
| tChuck) Wojack will handle the
reins in the direction of the club
on the field this summer and he
will form the lineup from among
the large number OF candidates
who will turn out it is expected.
The kensington A. c. is planning
to get an early start so that sea
son, full OF plenty of play, Will be
furnished the fans south Of this
city. 1t is reported that a number
OF new faces Will be seen in the
Kensington lineup this year.
Dan Malarucy will manage the
dtstines OF the club this season sue
ceeding Pat Buckley who worked eff
/ 1iciently to keep the game alive last
year. Dan should, because OF his
baseball experience, prove a worthy
successor to the indomitahlc Fat.
The Rangers A. c. held a meet
| Ing at the club rooms on Church
street the other night and decided
to lay plans TO call candidates out
for the first practice. The Rangers
held forth at the old Pioneer dia-
mond on Ellis street last season but
|1he attendance at the games wasn't
a success.
This year the Church street club
he pes to get an early start ana Will
make a drive towards being includ-
Jed in the city series if there is one
to be played next fall.
John Tobin, manager Of the Cor
bin Red Sox last year. hasn't come
forth with any announcement about
|the team this year Tobn stated at
The end of the season last year that
Pie was through as manage and it
may be that he is holding to that
decision. He worked hard with the
team for a number OF years and If
lever any man deserved q rest, John
HTobin earned one.
Other teams will be getting into
harness next month as soon as the
|chiil winds of March are changed
TO the balmy air OF spring. There
Fwill be a great deal of activity on
Ehe diamond in this city this year.
THE Rotary league will be in action
|hgain as will the two city leagues
(which are planned. Besides these,
the Industrial league will be play
fng twilight baseball,
1t was quite a disappointment to
h number OF New Britain fans that
the game between the National
k;uards and the Meridcn Endecs had
been called OF. last night. An
Of the postponement Of
th game was not made yesterday
land a good number of New Britain
booters went to Mcriden last night.
The Bristol Endces are off on a
"trip to New York state ana viii be
[sone for about six days. During
/ hat time. the team will play tho
Syracuse quintet in Syracus" and
other teams in the Empire State.
The quintet will oppose the
Guards at the state armory in this
lefty week from saturday night in
the third game of the three game
series to determine which quintet |
has the right TO claim the state |
championship,
The officials for that game will
be Dick Dillon, regular referee at
the Guards games in this city, and |
Billy Coyle OF Wallingford,
Jim 2akzewski. Fordham center |
who played with the Guards for the |
first time in Bristol Wednesday |
night, will be with the local team |
tomorrow night against the Fenais-
sance Five and again the following
Saturday against Bristol.
Those who saw him in action |
against the Bell Towners in Bristol,
say he is one Of the best basketball |
players seen in these parts in some |
time. It may be by the time that !
the game is played a week from
Saturday that he will be used to
the style of the New Britain team !
and Bristol will be in for tougher
game than ever.
We haven't heard anyone say that
either the Bristol Endees or the |
National Guards have yet shown
any superiority in play. Two games
have been played in the last two
weeks and each resulted in VIC
tory for Bristol by the score OF ?? :
TO 81. Two points isn't a large |
margin for any team in a basket
ball game.

for the Corbin Red SoX baseball
team last year, expects to get try
