New Britain herald., 1927-04-15

VI course, Il Sulllch mad made the
team the manager wouldn't have
had position in which to play and I
there's very obvious reason why
he isn't a member of the kinston, |
n. c.. baseball clue this year.
Sullick hasn't decided as yet lust |
where he will play, but the chances
OF his returning to Kensington are
very good this season, although he |
hasn't definitely decided where he |
will go.
With the leading teams OF the |
city holding practice sessions today, |
tomorrow and Sunday, New Britain
starts the 1927 season in earnest. |
Competition between cities which
boast ball clubs will be keen with
New Britain leading again this year.
The Bristol New Departure Co. is |
making plans to get together a
strong club again this season and
Joe Carroll, the Connie Mack OF the
BellTown sports, will again be tell {
ing us that he has darn fine ball
club" /
Johnny Clnch failed to appear in
a bout in the amateur tournament
at the Tabs hall last night. He was
present, however, to display finger
injured in training. This Is another
digit that has suffered an accident,
but it is thought that he will be ,
ready to get going next week.
Tonight's tournament in Hartford +
viii be the last indoor show to be
been definitely settled yet whether /.
New Britain will have outdoor shows /
this year or not, Willow Brook park
is the only available spot in the city !
in which they can be held. and I'M
Ill more bleachers are secured for ,
the stadium, there is little likelihood
that the Mohawk A. c. will attempt |
10 stage the amateur tournaments !
there.
The attendance ut the bouts in the |
Tabs hall last night tended to show i
that New Britain amateur fight fans !
are still Interested in seeing the
tournaments here and although it is
tournament here, and although 1t is
little too early to stage the fights
outdoors.
The scramble for the polo fran
chise in this city becomes more
complicated as the time approaches
tor the meeting of the league direc-
tors which will decide whether New
Britain will have franchise this
year and if so, who will get it,
DAILY & Perakos. the pair that
held the reins over the AllNew
Britain football team last year, are
hot after it and so is Frank Nc
Donough, proprietor of the Casino
Bowling alleys. Another combina-
ton that is looking for the right to
conduct a polo team here is the
Denny Mcmahon Patsy Bridget duo.
1t Is reported that still another
party Is seeing to establish the
game in this city but no definite
information has been received on
it.
TO promote roller polo in this city
Is pretty good assurance that the
game will be played here. The Tabs
hall. we have it on good authority,
will be available for the game fol-
lowing the inspection OF several
floors on which the game is played.
There Is little damage done to a
floor nowadays from roller skating
in a polo game. Fiber rollers are
used on the skates and these do not
mark or cut floor. The Tabs were
first of all to see If the floor in the
new hall would be ruined but, as we
understand it. there Is little chance
Of any great damage being done.
Then again. there Is the possibil-
ny titlI Il litW SpOi - dutllUIluIl
VIII be built on Commercial street
on part Of the site of the H. r.
Walker Trucking Co. This build
ing will be 100 by either so or 30
feet long and will be built expressly
for polo.
II Is planned to run basketball
there and other sports but if polo
and the other sports are kept in
the Tabs building. there will be no
necessity for another hall on Com
mercial street The entire situation
revolves on the granting of fran
chise to parties in this city.
New Britain Is attracting many
sports promoters here. The Hard
ware City has the reputation of
being one of the best sporting towns
in the state. The support given its
Va rious teams in past seasons with
only few exceptions Is evidence
enough of this fact.
However, local sportsmen are
ca pable Of handling all the situa-
tons here and they can be depend
ed on to seize all opportunities
which present themselves.
