 The track meet between New Brit ain and Crosby High schools, sched- uled for this afternoon at Willow Brook park. has been cancelled on account of the weather. according to an announcement by Coach Leonel Depot. The coach stated that it probably would be good enough to conduct the meet this afternoon but his first consideration was the health of the members of his team.
 Because of the prevalence Of sick ness in the city. this attitude of the track coach is especially comforting to the parents of the members of the track team because it shows that consideration of the athletes is the first to be taken by the athletic authorities at the High school.

 We can visualize baseball mana gers cussing roundiy the weather man for the gift he has sent today. Final practice sessions in prepara- tion for the opening of the season tomorrow were scheduled for both the Falcons and the Kensington teams but it appears that there will be no workouts.
 Neither was settled on the start Ing lineup in tomorrow's games and it will be just a case of guess when 1t comes to selecting players for the various positions on the team.
 The Cardinals baseball team will practice tomorrow afternoon at goo o'clock at Willow Brook park. All members of last years team and all candidates for places on the squad arc asked to report.
 Jack Delaney and Jack Sharkcy will battle Monday night in an elim- ination bout of the eliminated. The interest in the bout in this city is absolutely negligible. These two Jacks are like a pair of them in a poker game. not much to bet on.
 No one can get steamed up over the coming championship match be- tween Tom Heeney and Champion l imagine Heerey beating Tunney. However the champion shows signs of fat and the results of soft living, and many another champion has gone the road that leads to obliv- ion.
 Hecncy will be the most surprised rf al ho &t-in hn Q ney, with three months of training ahead of him. has plenty of chance 70 work up speed. Speed will beat Heeney and Tunney will have ! enough of 1t to offset the doggedncss of the New Zealander
