The Burritt baseball team will
undergo thorough shaking up
during the present week In prepar-
alton for the third game OF tn ser
ies with the Falcons which will
probably be played next Sunday aft
ernoon at 6t. Aary's held. The team
last sunday not only lacked pitch
ing but It lacked hitting.
The team will be out for practice
this week and Manager Bill Lasky
intends to drive his squad 10 the
limit. He feels that careless play
last week gave the Falcons many
runs which they should net have
scored. 1t was the Falcons day.
no doubt. and they made the most
Of 1t.
Kensington notified us yesterday
that the challenge hurled at the
Falcons last week still stands. The
town fans stand ready to put up
dough whenever the Falcons get
ready to talk business.
The BurFitts and KensinGton are
planning on getting together for .
series, one hears along the stem.
Lack Of definite information from
the officials Of either club has made
this report 2 rumor only.
Kensington meets the Ragners
again next sunday. This will be the
deciding game in the series between
these two teams. The series a. ar
ranged. was to run to the best two
out of three games. Each club has
won one contest and next Sundays
game will be the deciding one.
1t is very likely that the Falcons
will take up the Kensington chal-
lenge When the Burritt series and
the Ranger series ID all over, there
will probably remain q few weeks
in which baseball might be played
and it seems highly probable that
the two teams could make profit
by playing.
The Falcons are not sure Of get
ting st. Mary's field As q home play
ing surface next year. For this rea-
son the club officials have been
casting about to secure 4 field of
their own.
Persistent rumors have reached
US that the Waterbury franchise Is
to come to New Britain next sea-
son. So far. though We have
searched diligently. We have been
unable to find anyone who is def
nitely interested in the project. We
do know that some time ago, in
fact, during the roller hockey sea-
son last winter. that a prominent
sports promoter in the city. was in
terested in securing an Eastern
league franchise for New Britain.
Whether this gentleman is inter
ested still in the matter or not is
question. We have not been able to
interview him on the score but feel
..,at II he had planned to do some
,aing with regard to the matter that
ne would have let us in on the info.
