Baseball Game to Paturt Mh
 Anniversary of Club

The Falcon baseball team of this city will meet the Derby Falcon dia- mond aggregation at 6t. Mary's field Sunday afternoon. The visiting team is rated as ono of the strongest or ganlzations in the Falcon society and 1t Is expected that the Hardware City nine will have plenty of trouble in scoring . win.
 The visitors have Hauser who was member of the Bridgeport Eastern league team for a time as the catch- CT and Lilla as tho pitcher. Lila was besieged by scouts of Eastern league clubs for tryout but he re- fused to take tho step. The infield composed of Trihka at first. Zen- jus at second, Swanek at third and Luwton at short, forms a strict de- fense while 1t is a powerful machine on the offense. Delco in left. Seger- strosky in center and Hourigan in right, form a trio of sure fly hawks and heavy hitters
 The Falcons will practice tomor- row afternoon It St. Mary's Held in preparation for the game. There will be no changes in the lineup this week excepting in the pitching de- partment. Ginger" Cleary who has recovered from a recent illness. will probably do tho twirling job Sunday while Manager Cabay may select Fisher to bear the burden. Coach Frank Wojack plans to put the squad through q stiff drill Sat- urdAy because of the fact that no practice sessions were possible dur ing the week. There are number of spots in tho team which need in1- provement and the coach hopes to have these corrected in the near future.
 The game will be one of the fea- lures of tho celebration of tho goth anniversary of the New Britain lodge of Falcons and ! record crowd is ex- pected to see the game because of tho large number of visitors who will be present in the city on Sum- day.

CITY LEAGUE TO
 START 0N JUNE g
Six Teams Entered Again in Chase for Municipal Pennant

The Senior City league will start on June 25 with six teams entered. it was decided at q meeting of the managers with James Naughton of the public amusement commission last night in the city hall. The champion Burritts. the Pirates, West Ends, Speedboys and Rangers will again be represented. and the Robins will be replaced by team from the Y. M. T. A. & B. society. Mir. Naughton said that there would be no difficulty in obtaining more teams, but he thought 1t better to hold the number down to six fast ones and make the league more in- teresting and exciting.
 The old question of using factory league players was brought up. the Burritt manager saying that he would lose six players if they were not permitted. Mir. Naughton and the other managers. however, agreed that the City league was to provide baseball for men not playing else1 where and that the admission of Dusty players would result in quar- rels between the teams. They will be barred again this year as in the past. Teams will be limited to 16 men. the names to be submitted by June IS. A week later the season will open, and games will be played each Saturday through August 27.
 MT. Naughton briefly sketched a plan which would provide New Britain with a wealth of material not available anywhere else in the state. The Rotary Boys league noN gives real baseball experience to boys of 14 and under. The city. he said, Is planning a junior league for boys from II to IT: this would en- able them to graduate from the Ro- tary league in a municipal loop, and from there into the Senior City league, Factory league and semi- pro teams. The plan would give continuous baseball for boys with a liking for the game and would re- suit in a fresh supply of material every year.
 The next meeting of the City league managers will be held on Thursday evening. June 9.

RED S0X TO PLAY \ !.
 HOME 0N SUNDAY
Tobin's Clan to Clash With Col insYiue at Willow Brook Park

The Corbin Red Sox will open up the home season at Willow Brook park Sunday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock when 1t meets the strong Collinsville team, several times win ner of the Pennington Valley league. The team from up the river will give tho locals an interesting session Sunday because of the fact that all the players are nearly in perfect form for hard season.
 The Collinsville team has the two Curry brothers in its lineup and these two have been starring for several seasons. Word coming from the Riverview club management in Norwich warns all managers to watch these two as they are dan. serous men at the bat at al. times.
 Manager John Tobin has,'t fully decided on the lineup of hs team for the opening game. The pitching assignment will so to either Berg or Buckland. Berg will probably have the choice because of the fact that he will be facing his former tam mates. The hefty twirler ws a member of the Collinsville team for a number of years and he is ,n- xious to work against them Sn- day. '
 The Collinsville lineup is one tha is considered an exceptionally strong one this year. The team ha; won two of its first games and lost one. The early season play of the members of the squad have caused the packers of the outfit to favor them over the local club.
 Manager Tobin will work out hi. best lineup in the game 50 that he may be able to get good line on certain positions which are still in doubt. The team Is the favorite to cop the pennant in the newly form. ed Central Connecticut Baseball league and the local manager will make every effort to line up to the preseason predictions.
 Eddie Crowley, one of the bes. umpires in the city will work the game Sunday. This will assure the fans who watch the contest of ef- ficient onlcialing and snappy game,

GOLFERS ANXIOUS
 TO ENTER TOURNEY
Rain Has Kept Shuttle Meadow
 Course Deserted This Week

The frequent and hard rains Of the past week have kept the Shuttle Meadow golf course practically de- serted every evening. The showers came so often that even the caddies became tired of hanging around with nothing to do so that last night hard ly bag-toter was in sight.
 Every night, however. a line of cars drew up to the parking space near the caddie house with eager golf enthusiasts in them ready for q round, but the threatening outlook kept them off the course because too many wettings isn't good for either mental or physical condition. The result was that no golf was played on the course during the week and there is little to report.
 It Is said that a number of the players who practice that famous plan of pr. Coue by saying Every day, etc.," took the opportunity to study out on the black board the reasons for a certain slice or hook. Although it isn't known if a solution to the puzzle has been made. many will be out today to put into prac- tice the theories worked out in the solitude of a bachelors den at home.
 Indoor practice was the order of things in many 8 home during the week of wet weather and if one should take | ride through the streets bordering on the road lead ing to the club. number of side windows will be seen to be broken and shattered. These were caused by misplaced puts.
 Pleasant weather is predicted for tomorrow when a team four ball match with 1-4 added handicap al- lowed will be the weekly event. If so. all records for entries at the club will be broken because when anything is forbidden one wants it more than ever and thus it is with golf. Most of the members who plan to enter will be out early, it is expected and a concerted rush to the dressing rooms after the round is played is expected because it will be necessary to get back to the club in time for the dinner at 7:3o and the May ball to follow.
 Although the rain kept the golf CTS from play during the week. it has had it's compensations in the condition of the course. All the dry spots have been entirely erased and in places where the grass was slight ly burned, now one finds only a car pet like to velvet on the greens and fairways.
 The tournament committee is planning to throw cordon of guards about the club grounds to- who have been slipping away with out turning Tn their cards. No one will be allowed to duck the picket lines and a golf card will be tho pass word.
 A week from tomorrow. W. J. Sweeney will lead a team of 20 members of the local club to New Haven for a team match with the New Haven Country club. Only a few of the places on the New Brit ain team are definitely settled and much will depend on the work of the golfers in tomorrow's tourna- ment as to their eligibility of repre- senting the club in the match. Turn ed in cards will be the only way in which these members can be selected.
 The Shuttle Meadow club mem bers are preparing for the coming team match with Sequin because the championship of the Hardware City will be at stake. This should be an event of supreme importance to all those interested in the game.

One hears the rumors that Iris Speaker will be the next manager of the Washington Senators. to succeed Stanley Harris when the latter's present contract expires a year from now. This may seem bit far fetched at thIs time, but 1t is cer- tainly good bet for the future books. Speaker is hardly averse to taking charge of major league club again. his work at Cleveland having been very interesting to him. Harris, on the other hand, has not entirely satisfied Owner Clark Grif- filth in his handling of the club, &C., cording to the same rumor. Just what will happen remains to be seen.
