 The All-Kensington baseball team held stiff workout at the kensing- ton grounds Saturday afternoon and sfrom all reports. the Falcons are in for hard battle when the two come together in the first game of 8 series. next Saturday afternoon in the Paper Goods town.
 In ansYer to query as to why
 the Falcons were selected for the first game. Manager Dan Malarney stated that his idea of molding a baseball team together is to have it meet the toughest and the hardest opposition possible from the start to the finish.
 Going through the paces down in the ball lot Saturday, the squad showed a lot of stuff and the quail ity of players augurs we'll for the season. In the infield. Ray Begley, coach of last years championship team, and Warren are battling for the position on the initial sack. "Yiggs' Patrus seems to have a clear field for second base. Joe Jas per and DeVito of Hartford arc staging pretty fight for the short stop berth while Buggy" Fitzpatrick is doing his stuff at third base. Adam Sullick has the way clear for the catching position and he Is showing more stuff than ever. Jack Scott. former Besse-Leland star and Charlie Yale are the two seeking the twirling jobs.
 In the outfield, swarm of candi- dates are working to land. Blesso of Hartford, Salad, Paul Snyder. Greco of last years team, Wendro- sky who made his mark in the New Britain Industrial league last year and Eddie Zeigler, one of the sen- sations of last years team are all showing good form in the tryouts.
 Among the faces that will be missing with Kensington this year will be that of George Fields. star third sacker. one of the neatest in- fielders in>the game. Because of physical handicaps. Fields has been forced on physicians orders, to stop playing ball. Another who will not be seen in a kensington uni form this year. will be Frankie
 
 tlelders.
 Frankie has joined the Falcon club and yesterday came through l with two timely hits that practically helped the Falcons to register a vic- tory over the fast Waterville club of Waterbury.
 The Kensington team will appear in new uniforms this year and ef- forts will be made to equal at least 1 the success met by the team last year. Manager Malarney is busily engaged in framing schedule for the team and the best attractions available will be seen at the grounds this season.
 Eucholz, star twirler on the club last year, will not he with the team until later in the season. due to a number of engagements he has on the books. He will be with Ken sington, however, when the weather gets warmer and he expects to go as good as ever.
 The golf season at Shuttle Mea- dow club opened with a bang Sat nrday with the first tournament of the year. The course was fairly | damned Saturday and Sunday. The , tournament committee received the largest entry list in recent years for the opening day and expects to have lively events all through the season.
 The tournament to be staged at | the club next Saturday is the best 1elected nine in IS with full handi- ,+1p allowed. By Friday night, the :, tournament committee expects as many if not more. members to en- ter as played in the first tournament of the year.
 A system of collecting the cards at I the end of the tournaments will be ! introduced so that all those who have been having bad days on the course, will be caught in the swirl and their scores chalked up. if the plans of the committee meet with success.
 All golfers can't have good days all the time and some are no better lllan duffers on a few days. Scores l will be chalked up no matter if they i run into three figures for nine holes, ] according to the committees inten- tions.
 Commissioner James J. Naughton. the baseball member of the public 1 amusement body, is planning to call meeting soon. of the teams to be 1 entered in the City Baseball league this year. Details for the formation of the circuit will be talked over.
 The same rules will apply this 1 season as were in force last year. No member of the Industrial league will be allowed to play in the City league. This will prevent any jumping of players from one circuit to the other. |
 Little success was met by the High school track and baseball teams i'll their first starts this season, but the first games are not to be taken as indications of how the teams should shape up for the remainder of the year. Coaches Cassidy of the baseball and Depot of track, will wnrl- n; k
