New Britain herald., 1927-10-11

He Is proficient player and car equal almost any other man seen 1T this city in years in getting dovr the field on punts.
 The release was handed out last Saturday before the team made its trip to Stapleton. s. I. The story 's 2. long one of difference between the promoters and the player in question.
 The signing of Tom Loary. end and captain last year of the Ford ham University eleven. presaged the fact that an end would be let out Of the picture. The announcement Of Connolly's release will come as a surprise 10 some while others have been expecting it since "Cnk" failed 10 make the trip to Franktord 10 rlay in the game against the Yellow Jackets.
 There is absolutely no criticism of Connoly's playing on the field" Manager Ed Daley stated today, 'lnk always gave bis best on the lot but he has been dissatisfied sine" the season opened. He first stated he would play with New Britain and then he said he was going to Hart ford, Then, for some unaccount- abl" reason, he didn't go to Frank ford"
 'If he can get more money in Hartford than Wc are paying him, then We certainly don't want 70 stand in his way. We cant have q team with indifferent or diSsatiS- tied players on it and although the three promoters of tho local team like "Unk" immensely. We felt that he wouldn't be at his best playing with us"
 This leaves New Britain with still four ends in the gam". They are "Shep' Bingham Tom Loary, Staton and "flik"r' Holzheim"r.
 Whether Connolly will go with Hartford CT not remains to be soon. "Cnl" hasn't made any statement whatever about his future football plans.
 Tom Leary who will make his debut on New Britain football field next Sunday against All Bridgeport, may also be seen play ing in this city next winter. Tom is considering signing with 1.anphcr for the coming season. He was a star court man with Fordham and he will be a big addition 10 the local quintet.
 We have been asked Manuing's first name, whether t is Jim or Joe. His full name n private life is James Joseph Manning. Jim or Joe suits him.
 "Kisky" Fcldman and Jimmy Malcolm will be paired up again on the Bristol Endee basketball team this season. "Kisky' at the con clusion of every season. makes the announcement that he is through but like "Red' Campbell or Rip ger" McKeon of Kcnsington, the start of another year sees him out as strongly as before.
 A meeting of the managers Of 'h- basketball teams entered in tn" state basketball league will be held soon 10 perfect plans for the opening of the l9o7-oS season. Predictions are that the coming year will he one of the best on record in Connecticut.
 Jim Manning will also be with the Bristol Endees again this year. Manning was a thorn in the side Of all opposition on the court last year.

 H., is so confident of victory that he insisted on naming q price for victory and another one for Ii" or a loss. If his team lo{cs. he will receive just about his eXptnscs while If 1t wins, he will make some money.
