BRIDGEPORT TEAM
 IS VERY STRONG
NutmeSs Face Tough Contender
 in Second Game Of Season

Football started off with a bang last Sunday in this city and every thing was rosy as long as the local team came through with victory. The second game of the season will be played Sunday afternoon at Will low Brook park when Bridge port makes it's first invasion of the city this year
 The opposition afforded by the Stonewalls of HoIyoke will have been as nothing compared to the strength of the Bridgeport team. A perusal of the roster of the team tends to show that a crack eleven is to invade this city next Sunday.
 For ends, the team has Burcheski and Walker who were with Lafay- cite in 1925 and 1926. Fenwell, late of the New York University, and Sabo will be at the tackle positions. Sleichert of the Connec- ticut Aggies and smith will be- the guards. while either Brody or Davis will be in center.
 The backfeid is fast and shifty  and is composed of Suchanny. Eross of Villa Nova, Boyan and Mead of trsinus college. Jackobowsky of Villa Nova will play fullback.
 The New Britain team will prac- tice tonight and again Thursday night in preparation for the game. Another workout, the stiffest of the entire week. will be staged Satur- day afternoon at Willow Brook park.
 Just what the local lineup will be for Sundays game is problem that is solely in the hands of Coach Grafton O'Connell. It will prob ably be the same as last Sunday excepting that shifts will be made in the backfield. Buckley will be placed at halfback and Radzevich will probably be at quarterback. The new back from Torrington will be a running mate for Buckley while Griswoh and Silent John" Davis will be placed at fullback.
 The time for the start of the game has been put at 2:15 o'clock. The same set of officials will be in charge.

BATTLE AGAIN IN
 TITLE PLAY0FF
Rsnslngton and Falcons Will
 Meet Again On Next Sunday

After furnishing one of the most spectacular baseball battles of mod ern times at St. Mary's Field last Sunday afternoon. the All-kensing- ton and Falcon teams are girding their armor for the second game of the series to be played at the Per cival avenue grounds in kensington rext Sunday
 The old cry of Indian Sign" has come up again among the fans meaning that kensington is being favored to again defeat the Falcons. It is a known fact that, in previous city championship baseball series. Nensington has had what appeared to be team inferior in many re- spects to the Falcons but the Fall cons were never able to win. This has led many fans to believe that he kensington team has the 'In- dian Sign on inc Falcons. Whether this is so or not, Man ager John Cabay of the Falcon team issued a statement today in which he said that Indian Sign" or no. the Falcons would even up the score next Sunday afternoon. He pointed out that only "break" in the game when McCleary dropped throw from Johnny Klatka to get a run ner going into second, gave the kensington team it's one opportunity to score and win.
 yfn | Kensington team doesn't believe in the Indian Sign" business this sea son. He stated today that the Ken slngton team demonstrated beyond doubt that it had the edge on the | Falcons last Sunday and he conf dently expects 10 come through witf three straight victories over the Falcons in the present series. The question of the Falcons play. ing the Burritts again is at a stand still at the present time. Just wha date or dates will be settled on re mains beween Managers Cabay ant i Lasky.
 Kensington occupies the full at tention of New Britain fans at the present time. Those who watched the game last week were carried away with the spectacular game staged for their benefit Their de
 scription Of il has caused man more fans to decide to attend mex l Sunday and kensington is likely l. see a record crowd next Sunda. afternoon. Bus service will be givel to all fans attending from Ne,
 Britain.
 IL is likely that Coke" Woodmar will again face the Falcons on Sun day while either Nichols or Lefty Atwood will oppose kensington Nichols pitched last Sunday and h. and Woodman staged the greates
 pitchers battle seen here in man. d day.
 Sundays game will start prompt. l at o'clock.

CLUB TEAM GETS
 SET FOR SEASON
Five Veterans of Last Yolf's Squad Available for Campaign

With i've veterans of last years squad available. the Boys club is looking forward to another light. fast basketball team like that which represented it on the court last win- ter. Only two or possibly three of the veterans were regulars on the 1s27-l92S team. but the others saw considerable action during the sea- son and have had the experience necessary to make them outsta nding candidates for the quintet during the coming season. The squad held It's first practice Monday night with IT men on the floor, and another ses- sion will take place tomorrow eve- ming.
 Captain Nick Gill. star forward, and Long John" kley. center. will be lost to this years club team and expect to play with the Stanley Rule. Both are over age. as is Pete Silva, defensive guard of year ago. Albert Benjamin. also 2 regular guard, is expected to try out for the
  high school team.
 Foremost among the old men who are back for another year are Joe Goffa and John Red" Compa gnone. Goffa can play any position on the floor and will probably be groomed for center. where he played at the end of last year. Red" is an excel lent guard. Tony Kerelejza. who oc- cupied forward berth during the latter part of last season, is expected to find regular place there. while Walter Grusha, sub forward a year ago. and Jake "Hoggo" Parparian, captain of the 1927-l92S reserve team and sub on the first team. will be among the most likely contenders for the other forecourt position.
 Joe Boubus. center. and Stanley Zembrowski. forward, are back from last years reserve team. This reserve team won the intermediate city championship. In addition there is wealth of new material, most of which has had considerable experi- ence with the various teams within the club. Practically the whole Python team. which was runner-up for the intermediate city champion ship. is trying out for places on the club five.
 These new men include the great est array of forwards ever placed at the disposal of Coach Ray Anderson, the offensive candidates being Adolph Markavich. Mike Paluch, AL bert Rakutis, Matthew Paluch, George Rowinski. Leo Bancovich, and Leonard Anderson. For suard positions there are Joseph Normant, Carl Boehnert and John Winters. Winters and Rakutis are also pos slble centers. In addition Ambrose Andrews the first negro lad ever 10 try out for the club team. is in the field and is expected 10 land a berth on at least the reserve team.
 The club has established a rule that no player who has passed his 2lst birthday may continue to rep resent the club. This regulation is becoming uniform one with Boys clubs and will make games with other clubs easier to arrange. Last year the local organization did not observe this rule except for the Boston game. and the necessity of using two different line e-ups proved a handicap.
