 Merwin Jacobson got one out ot three in the game between toronto and Buffalo yesterday. Toronto won the contest 1 to 0. The account of the game reads: Successive singles by Burke, Jacobson and Hargrave in the first inning accounted TOT the only run Of the game. Mer"ih might not have been good enough to stay with Brooklyn, but he IS cer- tainly making his mark with the Toronto club.
 Leave it to Manager John Tobin of the Corbin Red Sox baseball team to always have an eye out for the welfare of the players on his team. Following the unfortunate accident suffered by Walter Berg in the game between the Sox and the Coliinsville team two weeks ago. Manager Tobin sought ways and means of reliev- ing the distress suffered by the DIE pitcher.
 He solved the dilemma by having the Collinsville team which plays Western league game here tomor- row. agree to have the proceeds go as benefit to Berg. This should De an incentive for more fans to turn out for the game.
 A mistaken impression seems to lave been made in Kensington with the existence there of two baseball teamss the An.kensington and Tabs teams. It seems that some people have the idea that the second team was formed for the purpose ot "bucking" the older and senior or ganization.
 An inquiry into the situation re- yeals the fact that between the two teams exists the greatest Of harmony simply because of the fact that they exist in two widely separated classes. The .Kensington team is a senior organization formed to represent the town in the sport of baseball as town team.
 The Tabs team is a junior organ ization composed of young and com- ing stars who are not yet in the class Of players required by the All Kensington team. The outfit was organized by Pat Buckley. last year manager Of the older team, and It's purpose is simply to develop players who in the years 10 come will be | able to take the places of those !! passing out of the picture on the All-Kensington club.
 Loyalty Is the outstanding trait of the men and women in kensington l who back up sporting enterprises | and it would be a. shame and a hard blow to baseball were dissen- sion to split the solid ranks of fans there.
 Without divulging confidence or any sort, it might be well to state that Pat Buckley Is probably more interested-and his interest is more abstract than just mere love Of the national xame-than any other in- dividual in Kensington. Should he be "bucking" the Athletic club. he would be hurting himself
 Both Dan Malarney. manager of the All Kensington club and Fat Buckley, organizer, deplore the statements made in various quar- 1ers about the baseball situation. Jack Giana who manages the Iabs team, is also treasurer of the Ath- lctic club and if one were pulling against the other. he would be in an impossible position.
 To our minds. there is no other town Of its size and few places many times larger than kensington. in the entire state of Connecticut that con- tains so many good sportsmen than the place which boasts the home of the American Paper Goods. Con,- ing through for the past few years when the baseball outlook has been anything but bright. the Kensington team has grown to be among the best in this section.
 Knowing the people, in the town as we do the present Hurry causes us rather to smile than to worry. We can picture the inhabitants Of the town turning out in larger num- bers to the games each Sunday and whether or not the season is suc- cess. Kensington will still be on the baseball map with big dot when those of us who are now nvins. have passed away
 We don't know of any two better fellows than Dan Malarney and Pat Buckley. Dan pretty nearly owns the Paper Goods. they say. while Ruckley's namo is synonymous with "macaroni" It necessary. both tho pa per laCtOFS anu tl' iIidtaioh' i"N 1 tory will go on the auction block to keep baseball in Kensington, we be- lieve, so 1t will be only wasted time for anyone who tries 10 sow the seeds of discomfort or dissension among the players or fans in the south end. .....
