FALCONS AND KENSINCTON , START SERIES TOMORROW
First Game of Five-Game Series to Be Staged At St. Mary's Fie]d-Both Very Eager to Score Victory -Lneups Compare Favorably - Contest to Be Started Promptly At O'clock-Sautter and Me- ke0n Named to Act As Arbiters

Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock St. Mary's field will be the scene of the start of another baseball series
 when the Falcons and the Aiken
 sington teams clash in the first
 game of a five-game set-to. The
 series is attracting as much interest
 among the fans of the city as the clash between the Corbin Red Sox and the Falcons did last week and another record-breaking crowd is expected out to watch the battle
 All of Kensington is moving up to New Britain tomorrow for the game and reports state that the boys are well-heeled. The fans there realize that they now have a real baseball club that measures up in every way to the Falcons and be- cause of that, they are willing to go hook, line and sinker, on the players in the first game of the series.
 Both teams have been out prac- ticing during the week and both are showing perfect form. Judging from this, it appears to be a mat ter of pitching selections by both managers to decide which team will stronger on the field.
 Buckholtz will probably draw the pitching assignment for the Falcons while kensington will probably place it's faith in Bruno kania. If these two ascend the mound for their respective teams, one of the most unique situations in baseball annals Of New Britain will take place. It will be a case of two pitchers facing teams for which they starred last year.
 Fans will remember the great work of Buckholtz against the Fall cons last year when he was pitch ing for Kensington while Bruno kania was one of the aces of the Falcon twirling staff last year. The Falcons will have Fischer and Der geron in readiness for action while [<ensington will have Doughan and Charlie Yale
 Sullick and Joe Kania will also 1e among the former Falcons who ire to face their former team mates. Micky Noonan and Frankie Farrell will be with the Falcons in he game and it Is expected that both will break into the game at some stage of it.
 The contest will be started promptly at 3 o'clock tomorrow aft lrnoon. Herbie Sautter and Rip ger" Mckeon have been named as lmpires.

bURR|TTS' CHANCE
 ID CAPTURE TITLE
Pirates Eager to Spill Leaders
 From City League Lead

The Burritts have their chance to
 clinch the City baseball league title
 this afternoon, while the Pirates will
 at last have their long awaited op-
 portunity to tie last years champ ions for the lead. The defending holders are a game in advance | of their closest rivals and need only an even break in the two games re- maining between the two contesting teams in order to take the 1927 pen- nant.. Last week they struck their first "hard' team of the year and swept it aside under an attack seldom equalled in this city for it's ferocity, burying the West Ends un- der two avalanches of extra base
 hits. They have strengthened con-
 siderably for their final games and,
 with their battering offense, tight de
 fense, and excellent pitching, stand
 today on the verge of a second sue
 cessive title. Johnny Rose, who
 tops the league batters with a 800
 average and heads the pitchers with
 four straight victories, will probably
 take the mound. with Bruno Kania
 in reserve. Behind them will be a team which at present has ten men
 hitting above 300.
 The Pirates have recovered their 1926 spirit and must now be counted which they were last year, when they forced the Burritts to a. play off for the title., Their attack is not so steady as that of their opponents, but the hits are timely. The field ing is excellent, the infield being particularly fast and sure. Al Hav- lick, who matches Rose with four victories, is available for mound duty but Charley Miller will prob ably select Everett Williams. on whom he has depended in the harder games of the schedule. The game will be played at o'clock on Diamond No. l.
 The Rangers and Tabs will play on Diamond No. at the same hour. The former team has been going badly of late and needs a victory to keep out of the league basement. The Tabs are already there and. with their new team, are determined to climb up a rung or two. Jag lowski or McNamara will pitch for the Y. M. T. A. & B. outfit and Quarti for the Rangers
 At o'clock the West Ends and 1 Speedboys will clash on Diamond l No. 1. The West Ends are still | reeling from the double blow dealt ! them last Saturday, but they are out | 10 make a courageous comeback to- l lay behind the pitching of Tommy 1 Lefty Haber. or Bill i -ormier. Morse Richtmyer will | work for the Speedboys, who 1 erawled out of last place a week ago 1 md now have their eye on the first division.
 The Burritt Juniors, leading the Junior City league, will meet the Golfers on Diamond No. at 4 o'clock. The Golfers are one of the pest teams in the circuit and should give the Burritt youngsters some hing to think about.

PLAY IN NEW LONDON
Corbin Red Sox To Meet River Team Tn Last Game in Central COnnec- ticut League.

The Corbin Red SoA baseball team will go to Middletown tomorrow to meet the team there in the last Gen. tral Connecticut league game of the season. The local team is anxious to win this game because. although it has no bearing on the standing in the circuit. a win will be 8 continu- ation of the streak the Sox started some time ago.
 Middletown has one of the strong est teams in the Central loop and the team expects to hand Tobin's clan a walloping tomorrow. Both are about in the same position relative 10 the standing in the circuit but both are deadly diamond enemies and a great battle is in prospect.
 The locals will probably use Berg, mainstay of the pitching staff. in the box while no announcement has been forthcoming from Middletown as to the twirler the Sox are liable to meet.

Dugan hoped off with bang-up runs of six and three and ended the game in short order 20 to 13. The best game of the night was then staged between Gregor and Wolfe, Gregor just barely slipping under by the score of 20 to 19.
 Hagen defeated Slockett 20 to II with both getting a run of three.
 Wolfe, Dugan and Hagen were left in the finals. Hagen took on Dugan while Wolfe rested and defeated him 10 to 5. The game was shortened because of the lack of time. Hazen then took on the champion and chased him right up to the end and beat him. Wolfe and Dugan took second and third places.

 I catch Tunney in the ring, I'll i knock him out"
 That was what Jack Dempsey past and future (maybe) heavy weight champion of the world, told the writer shortly before leaving here for his training camp near { Chicago.
 If the former champs prediction is fulfilled, he will not retire with the crown. He will defend it at least once-maybe two or three 1 times.
 I'm not an old man yeti am only 32," declared Dempsey. T should be good for at least two or three more years after I hurdle Tunney. And why should I retire when Tex Rickard will pay me any where from half a million to ', mill lion dollars a fight? Sure, I have all the money I need. but purses of that size aren't to be laughed at. want another shot at Sharkey to erase the blot on my victory of a few weeks ago.
 Dempsey doesn't take after his namesake. Jack Sharkey, in being cocky. He is just confident that after the night of September % he will again wear the crown which rncted ypc,, bic bao for ceyar ,-a,rc Perhaps his confidence is not with out reason either. Jack fought the cX-marinc when the latter was at his best and he was at his worst.
 Tt will be a different story when the gong rings in Chicago" said the ex-champion. "In our last fight, Gene was fresh from several tough battles while I had long lay off. This time it's Tunney who has had the lay-off and I have a fight under my belt.
 Y know Tunney can't hit hard enough to knock me out, That was proved at Philadelphia. And when ] get past his defense he'll go down for the count"
 It might be noticed that Dempsey didn't say If I get past his defense.' He said when I get past his de- tense." There's no doubt in his mind that sometime during the ten rounds he will get an opening.
 "In what round do you think you will knock him out, Jacko" I asked.
 Y can't say what round 1t will be- he responded. That would sound too much like Sharkey."
 Dempsey is in excellent condition now The cuts above his eyes, sus- tained in the sharkey battle have practically healed. He has gained about seven pounds, weight which he explained will come off again as soon as he goes into intensive train ing.
 His training here consisted of road work every morning, frequent golf games, gymnastics and occasional workouts, all with view of speeding his work with sparring partners. Jerry the Greek. his trainer, keeps watchful eye on the champ" to make sure he doesn't get down too fine. The Manassa Mauler already is in fine trim. All he must do is stay there, and improve his speed all he can
 Tn another few weeks, fight ex- perts from the four corners of this United States will start picking the winner I'll cast my vote now for Jack Dempsey on the ground that he is about four hundred per cent better than he was in Philadelphia and also that he knocked out Shar- key, really good fighter
