MERIDEN POLICE NINE
 NOSES OUT NEW BRITAIN
Billy Kne Silver City Twirer, 1nvincible In Pnches- Double By Ray Cossette Settles Issue - Game Is Won In Sixth Inning-Locals Outhit Opponents Pitchers Engage In Exciting Duel During Contest Large Crowd Watches Battle.

The Meriden police department baseball team beat the New Britain aggregation of bluecoats in the first game of home and home series yesterday afternoon. A rally staged in the sixth inning by the Silver City coppers cut down New Britain's lead of two runs and gave Meriden a one-run edge which was sufficient to win the game.
 Several thousands of spectators viewed the game which ended in a I to 6 victory for the home team. At times, the fans were thrilled and at other times they were highly amused as the players either scin- tillated or clowned.
 Billy Kline and "Slim" Politis en- gagged in pitching duel. during the contest The Meriden man was in- vincible in the pinches and he re- ceived some excellent support just when it was needed the most. New Britain outhit the Meriden team but Politis' good work went for naught as his mates threw away what seemed like a sure win.
 Meriden blew up in the fourth in- ming and New Britain got five runs. Another in the fifth gave the Hard ware City team an added advantage of two runs but Meriden's rally in the sixth decided the game. After that frame, Kline was invincible.
 Ray Cossette's double to center field was the deciding punch of the game. Kurcon had hit a high fly to Feeney in left field and only the New Britain sergeant's noble chest stopped the ball in its descent to earth. Two men went out but Wollschlager's single to right put Kurcon on third. Wilcox's single scored Kurcon and then Cossette cleaned the bases with double. New Britain. imbued with the spirit of Santa Claus. gave Meriden two runs in the first inning Me- Grath doubled to left and ran all the way home when Cabelus muffed Kline's high infield fly. McMurray was torn between love and duty when Boldt hit one into right field and the runner got two bases Kline scoring.
 Again in the third, the Silver City team was presented with another gift of runs. McGrath doubled to left and McMurray played football with Klines hit to right. Politis added to the fete by sending over a wild pitch to bring in the second run.
 Ill the fourth. Politis singled to center. McMurray famed but Veley sent roller through McGrath's legs. Cabelus hit clean single to center scoring both men. Kumm rolled to Kline and the Meriden pitcher threw the ball into center field. He re- peated the trick on Feeney's ground CT and Huber's long single gave New Britain it's full quota of runs.
 McGrath and Kurcon starred in the field for Meriden with Feeney furnishing the fireworks for New Britain. Mayor Wales l.. DeBussy threw out the first ball. The teams will meet at Willow Brook park in this city in the second game on August 31. The summary:

There's more than bit of sadness about their turning down Jack Brit tons application for license to box in this state. It goes without say ing that Jack is not the man he was physically-he can't be: nature isn't that liberal-but it does seem to me that no great harm can come of his being permitted to ply his trade, the only one he knows.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-25

The entire boxing world Is in sym pathy with Britton. Hype 1goe in the New York World has delivered a broadside in favor of granting the veteran a license. Here is what he says in part:
New Britain herald., 1927-08-25

I'll warrant that Jack Britton as he stands today is better fitted to fight than nine out of ten of the young men who call themselves "welterweight contenders." Further I'll advance the suggestion that he can take nine out of ten of these same contenders and make them look foolish when it comes to box ing-boxing as we know 1t today.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-25

New Britain will always keep pride in the fact that it was from this city that Britton first went to fight. It was also from this city that the former weltcrweight cham pion took his name.

Chicago-Henry Lenard vs, Bab
 Ruth, 10.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-25

Many there are in New Britain who remember Willie Bresln, the mild hammered kid who roamed the streets in years gone by. Many of his personal friends are still here and they will be heartily in accord with the sentiments regarding him as eX- pressed by Igoe.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-25

Whether he is allowed to box or not in New York, all boxing fans will remember Britton as the clean est and finest boxer the ring has ever seen. Benny Leonard is the authority for the statement made years ago that Britton was not only Q gentleman out of the ring, but he was also a gentleman in the ring. Leonard ought to know because he and Britton fought often enough.
 In the Burritt-Y. M. C. A. game In the Rotary league yesterday young Recano of the latter team was taken out after about three innings and then went back in in the eighth in defiance of the rules. The game was hopeless affair. anyway, and neither the umpire nor the opposing team cared who batted for the "Y.' even if it had been Joe Hergstrom himself.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-25

Could we but give Britton what is due him. Jack would never want for a thing and his financial losses in Florida would not be a source of worry for him.

Emil Meusel to Be With
Dodgers in 1927 Season

Emil Meusel, smuggling outfielder who
purchased his release from the New
York Giants last summer, will park
his glove In the Brooklyn outer gar
dens this year.
The controversy arising out OF con-
fiicting claims of the Dodgers and Gin
cinnati Reds was settled when Mana
ger Jack Hendricks announced he had
waived all claim on Meusel's services
Hendricks said he had learned that
his bid for Meusel followed that Of
Wilbert Robinson, president of the
Brooklyn club.
Both arrangements announced al
most simultaneously that Emil, broth
er of Bob, Yankee star, had accepted
terms for 1927. Robinson said Meusel
had signed the Dodger contract call
Ing for $4,000 salary.
I'VE were too late and ] am sorry
Hendricks said. I'VE had accepted
terms, but waited too long to close the
deal, and Robbie came along and took
the player before we knew what 1t was
all about"

VARSITY SPORTS
ARE GREAT NEED
Receipts From Games Raise
Physical Standards.

Big games are necessary to the de-
velopment Of the youth Of the country
through intramural athletics, says
Wallace Wade. coach at the Univer-
sity OF Alabama.
1.-THE receipts from the big games
pay the way for intramural athletics.
and II Is through them the physical
standards of students must be raised.
ut IS coming to be recognized that
the duties Of schools and colleges call
for training OF men morally and phys
ically, as well as mentally" Coach
Wade said During the early days
of this country 1t was not necessary
to have courses In athletics in schools.
Children lived much out Of doors and
had daily tasks to perform which gave
them exercise and outdoor life. To-
day the young men and women spend
their time outside OF school riding In
automobiles. going to picture shows
and generally taking part In life
which calls for no physical exercise.
ut Is not only necessary to give the
youth of the country proper physical
training. but 1t Is necessary to have
competitive games. It Is easier to get
students to take part In competitive
games than In gymnasium work.
Again, there Is a training in sports
manship and fair play to be received
from competitive sports that cannot
be received elsewhere.
VARSITY football has an influence
on intramural athletics in two ways.
First, 1t acts as an incentive and In
spiration for those taking part In in
tramural sports, and, second and
most important, the money which is
needed to pay for fntrams4rai athlet-
les comes from receipts of varsity
football. During the past twenty
years football has increased very rap
idly until tremendous amounts of
money are received by colleges from
big games SO long as the surplus is
used to pay the way of intramural ath-
letics there can be no harm in big
receipts.
Athletics occupy place In our
present-day civilization that cannot be
filed by anything else 1t gives youth
a training needed to develop good citi-
zens and there Is no other place for
such training"

Simplification of Golf

An individual golfer in England, hid

golf, vet no game, not even the highly
complex team games, has more COM

Some Action Needed to
Preserve Wild Turkey

The wild turkey is today fighting
so to speak, to hold his own, says the
Sportsman State Game Commission
err l. r. Quinn Of Alabama sums up the
situation as follows: Three things
are absolutely necessary not only In
the case Of wild turkeys, but all other
forms Of wild life-namely, protection,
education and damnation! Education
Of the masses, protection and feed for
the birds. and damnation for the vio-
lators.
THE trouble in retrograding states
is that responsibility is today shut
tlecock. 1t is up to the thinking
hunters of these states to save the
wild turkey 1t is up to the press Of
these states to alarm the public by
a revelation of true conditions

Training Of Youth
Matter Of Custom

There Is great difference between
English children and American chill
dren, chiefly due to home training.
points out Carolyn Wells in an article
in Liberty. English children are not
at all like American children she
says. There is far more difference
between the youngsters OF the two
countries than between the grown-ups.
Not In education. but in mental at
titudes.
1.-THE English child knows things
the American kiddy never dreams Of"
the writer explains, "and, contrari-
wise, our children have wisdom that
The English children never attain.
'sThis is probably due to the fact
that the child of an English household
Is made one of the family when there
are no guests. but Is promptly rele-
gated to the nursery when company
arrives; while the American child is
more In evidence with strangers pres
ent than without"
