Team Dropped
At the melting of the officials OF
the inter-church league of New Bri-
tain which was held last evening
at the New Britain Y. NJ. c. A, 1t
was voted that the indoor baseball
team of the kensington Congrega-
tional church would be dropped
from the league enrolment. No one
was present from the local squad
to appeal for the measure. but past
declarations by Coach Lewis A.
Griffith anticipated the measure for
the past month.
1t was voted that any games
which should have been contested
by the local squad up until now
would be declared forfeited imme-
diately and that future scheduled
games would be credited to the op-
ponent as scheduled. 1t was voted
that the regular assessment charges
would not be levied against the To-
cal squad.
Confliction in the personnel of the
soft ball team and other aggresa-
tons of the town is Coach Griffith's
reason for the abandonment of the
league. He states that the move was
made in order that more important
teams might not be deprived OF
their men on practice days.
