CITY LEAGUE GAME
 TO DECIDE TITLE
Crucial Test Faces Burritts and
 West Ends Today

The real battle for the City base
 ball league championship opens
 this afternoon with a vengeance, the
 Burritts and West Ends locking
 horns in double-header which will
 he the most attractive feature of the
 season thus far. The champion Bur
 ritts have pushed aside all apposi- ion up to now and have won six 1 straight games in six starts, but
 now they face the beginning of their real test. Weather has played queer
 pranks with the Burritts and has prevented them from meeting either i of their most dangerous rivals, the
 Pirates and West Ends, so that
 while they have toppled over the weaker teams without trouble they have still 10 test their ability against teams rated their equals in ability. From now on the Burritts have only these two rival contenders to meet and they have an acid test to pass if they are to repeat their pen nant-winning feat.
 Both games will be played on Diamond No. 2, the first one begin ming at o'clock. The Burritts have been strengthening for their final dash by adding Stanley Budnick and Joe Kania to their lineup. while Si Budnick and Bruno Kania may be in the game today. Johnny Rose will pitch at least one game, and Marion Zaleski may try his hand in in the other, although 1t is likely that the Burritts have some dark horse hurler being groomed for duty. The West Ends have Tommy Blanchard, Lefty Huber. and Bill Cormier, and they, too, are said to the firing line today.
 Both teams have strong attacking powers, with the Burritts somewhat the stronger of the two. In fielding. too, the Burritts appear faster and steadier Yet, it will really be some what of a surprise if the Burritts turn back their foes i'll both games. for the West Ends are dangerous every minute and will be fighting. not for an even break, but for a pair of victories.
 The Rangers and speedboys will meet on Diamond No. 1 at o'clock. These teams are about evenly matched with the Speedbcvs the more settled team but the Rangers the more experienced. The Rangers won when they met before, and the Speedboys are out for revenge. Morse Richtmeyer will pitch for them, while Quarti, Al Anderson, or Fields will be in the box for the Rangers.
 At f o'clock the Pirates play the Tabs. If the Burritts falter to the extent of losing only one game, the Pirates can go into tie for the lead by winning this game, so they Will re working hard for a conquest. With Al Havlick laid up. Everett Williams will be an almost certain choice in the box. The Tabs, re- built 10 dangerous proportions will rrobably use McNamara. with Mas sev and Reed in reserve.
 The scheduled Junior City league game between the Burritt Juniors and Y. Mi C. A. was moved ahead to last night in order to make room for today's twin bill.

 Nathan Hale Crew
League Standing

Paradise park had little difficulty in defeating the Y. NJ. c. A., in a
 Rotary league game at Walnut Hill
 park yesterday afternoon by a score
 of 20 to 3. Six errors by the losers coupled with 17 hits by the winners, allowed the latter to score at least one run in each inning except the fifth.
 The outcome was never in doubt as the winners posted themselves to four run lead in the first inning and added ten more counters in the next two frames.
 Schmarr was on the mound for the winners and allowed the "Y" team but a single hit, that being made in the fourth by Gattings. A home run by O'Brien in the first in- ming with two men on bases was the feature of the game.
 In justice to the "" team 1t should be said that several of the regular members of the team did not play and their places were filled by players who were much younger then their opponents and they did we'll considering that they were playing against the strong league leaders. The summary:

 Chicago, Aug. 20 R-A seventeen year old ornithologist with a knack of bagging birdies, today sported the Western Club amateur golf crown.
 Playing a brilliant pitching and putting game. Albert flakes, of Dun- kirk, N. Y., captured the prized title, open only 10 amateurs between J 5 and 19 years old, by downing Pat Ennis of Chicago after a hard fought match which went to the 37th hole on the Indian Hill course yesterday.
 His ability to bag bil dies, which enabled him to come through field of 266 contestants. brought the Dun- kirk youth victory. Blocked by his opponents almost tlawless play, flakes felt the title slipping from him on the 35th green when Ennis sank his third shot for a birdie while the best flakes could do was register par. Going to the 36th tee, one down, flakes sank 15 foot putt for a birdie. Then on the extra hole, he landed his second shot, an-

 The Boys Club baseball team had little trouble in disposing of the Nathan Hale team in the game play ed on Diamond No. 2. The Club started to score in the second in ming, jumping onto the offerings of Golas with a will, and before An drini was able to relieve Golas and stem the tide, the Club was leading by eight runs.

year in which the local boys have showed that they were the best in the state on the diamond. Inci- dentally it was the New Haven team last year also that won through to the runner-up position only to lose to New Britain in the finals.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-20

Yesterdays game was really fine exhibition of baseball. Partyka is the outstanding star of the game. Through his excellent work in the pitchers box. he made it possible for his mates to slap out just enough hits to win.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-20

But in the final accounting, though he will be in the background great deal, those on the inside know that it was mainly through the work that Larry Mangan put in with the team that the squad was able to come through for the highest hon. ors in the state.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-20

This year the team is aiming higher and if it should happen that the next state team that the local crew is called on to play will have adhered to the age rules the same as New Britain has, then New Brit ain will give any team in the coun- try a fair fight.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-20

No such condition should be toler- ated this year. Local men in charge of t'1o Legion team have insisted rigilly that the boys on the Eddy Glover post team be within the age limit and they have the right to insist that the players on opposing teams should be made to adhere to the rule in the same manner.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-20

The New Britain boys played as If they were inspired. They gave one of the finest exhibitions of gameness possible. They fought hard and they won and they deserve all the honor and glory that can be showered on them.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-20

At any rate, New Britain has re- peated the championship feat of last year and the people of this city will rejoice with the boys in the cele- bration that must come after a we'll earned victory.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-20

If. however, the same situation arises that cropped up last year when Rhode Island sent buch of players who were over age in 10 play against Connecticut, then there isn't much chance for boys to com pete against men older and more ex- perienced than they are.

Night after night Larry gave up his personal pleasure to drill the team in the finer points of the game. He had the squad out to prac- tice at least once a week and more often the team was working out sev- eral nights week. Larry brooked no lly-dallying while there was work to do and the serious de- meanor of the players showed the results of his coaching.

Larry has a real reason to be proud of the achievements of his charges. Though they actually did the work of winning the game, it was Larry's inspiration that gave them the courage to play like vet erans.

HINTS TO AUTOISTS

An excellent way 10 keep your radi ator from freezing Is to take 1t to bed with you every night.
 The difficulty Tn shifting gears on unusually cold mornings also can be overcome by unlocking the transmits. sion.
 If the motor coughs and wheezes when started on cold mornings. put three drops of gargle and a couple of aough drops in the gas tank.
 Sometimes the starter will grind for five minutes without one cylinder showing q sign Of life This can be remedied by turning on the switch.
 Putting on the chains at the first drop minimizes the danger of sl1idding on slippery streets, but an even safer system is to park the car after the first pint.
 Cold weather is hard on batteries. Have yours tested and filed ire quently If buying coal keeps you broke. don't pay cash for your bat- tery-have It charged
 If you must forget these little de tails, at least remember that too much oil will give your motor halltosis and eause your best friends to walk across the street when you drive up to them -Chet Johnson in Judge.

 A schemer is a man who points out the silver of a cloud and then pro- ceeds to borrow your umbrella.
