LOCAL TEAMS TO RESUME
TITLE SERIES TOMORROW
Al.Kensngton and Falcons to Come Together Again In
Kensington- Woodward and Atwood May Oppose
Each Other On Mound South Enders Have Taken
One Victory Already-World Series Returns to Be
Received BY Radio-Battle An Important One.

All kensington and the Falcons
will battle tomorrow in the second
game of the city championship base
ball series being waged between the
two. The first game took place two
weeks ago and resulted in a victory
by the kensington nine by l to 0
score. The second game was card
ed last Sunday but wet grounds
caused it to be called off. Tomor-
row will bring the rivals together
again, more anxious and eager than
ever to get going again.
The two teams shape up as even
bets in the outlook before they take
the field. This was proved in more
ways than one in the first game.
Both pitchers In that contest, Wood
man and Nichols. had everything
on the ball and both hurled well
enough to win in any ball game. A
dropped ball with a runner going
into second. gave kensington its one
chance to score and the team took
advantage of this and held the Fal-
cons safely until the end.
Tomorrow. it will be Woodman
again for kensington with Lefty"
Atwood serving them up for the
Falcons. Atwood has had unpre-
cedented success as a Falcon box
man and he should keep up his
good work tomorrow. Woodman.
one of Hartford's leading twirlers in
the Eastern league. is in great shape
and real battle is being antici-
pated.
AS arrangements have been made
at the field to have the returns from
the world series come in over RAJ
io, fans who attend the game will
also be able to get the dope from
st. Louis on the battle between the
Cards and the Yankees.
Sundays game will be an import
ant one for the two local teams. A
win for kensington will give it the
decided edge while the Falcons have
the opportunity of tying the score.
1t seems hardly probable that tie
teams can play very much longer
as the weather is due to change at
any time.
Tomorrow. bus service will be
furnished from Pratt's corners to
the baseball field SO that fans COM
| ing into the town fom New Britain
and other points, will experience nc
| difficulty in reaching the grounds
| The game will start at $50 o'clock
sharp instead of at 3 in order that
it may be finished before darkness
| A large crowd is expected to at
! tend.

bout of the first indoor card of the
Hardware A. c. for the coming sea-
son.
Clinch has beaten some good boys
in Connecticut. He graduated from
the amateur ranks and was taken
into Denny McMahon's stable in
Meriden. There. boxing with Louis
(Kid) kaplan. former world S
featherweight champion, he has
gained in ring knowledge until he
has an unbroken string of victories
to his credit.
Zotter also began as an amateur.
He didn't progress as rapidly as he
might but he suddenly struck his
stride and in his flights as pro-
fessional in the new-taient class. he
has demonstrated kayo punch
that spells bad business for all his
opponents.
Cllnch is the mauler type OF
fighter while Zotter is more the
boxer with a wallop. The fight Is
attracting widespread attention in
this city and surrounding towns and
many will be on hand to see it.
Two other star bouts making
three siX-rounders on the nights
program, have been scheduled. In
one. frankie Portel of Hartford
will square off against Ray Hogan
OF Ierryville. In the other. Vic Nor
ley of Hartford will battle Earl
Coleman of Hartford.
Five four-rounders will make up
the remainder of the card. In these
will appear favorites such as Her
man Fink of Hartford, Kid
Thomas of New Britain. Ray Taylor
OF Terryville. Art Chapdelaine o.
Springfield and others.
The first bout Tuesday night will
be started promptly at Sis O'Clock

Carrying the red and gold BAN
ners to the Berkshire hills this af-
ternoon where it will have another
opportunity to put New Britain over
as one of the leading sporting cities
in New England, the New Britain
High school football team. at its
full strength, is expected to give the
highly touted Pittsfield eleven the
battle of it's schedule.
Pittsf1eld hasn't the team it had
last year but since a squad of over
100 players usually reports for
practice in the preliminary sessions
of the season. the Pittsfield coaches
do not have the task of filling in
that other coaches have.
The Bay State team has a power
full defense but its offense. in the
words OF Coach Carmody. is ragged.
1t has only played one game so far
! this season and 1t won by 7 to 6
score. Horrigan, fullback. carried
the ball so yards after he had re-
covered a tumble within 20 yards
of his own goal line.
Confidence is reigning in the camp
OF the local followers that Coach
Cassidy's team will be the winner
in the game Saturday. The work
OF both the first and second teams
il encouraging and Indications are
the team will be as strong In SUBJ
stitutes as in regulars. The SUBJ
stitute backfield is playing whirl-
wind type of game and one in par
ticular, Henry kraszewski, is being
picked by many of the team fol-
lowers to replace one of the two
regular halfbacks. Billy Ross has
shown world of improvement and
IL Captain Landino is forced to
leave the game because of injuries
Coach Cassidy promises.
Herby Carlson is wonderful
kicker and If Sowka, fullback, is
taken from the lineup Carlson will
fill in as fullback and punter. Andy
Wesoly, the fourth second team
back, is showing good form.
Kayeski and Gwasda are giving
the first team line something to
worry about and DUNN is playing
a strong game at center.
The team will return home i'm
mediately after the game. A bus
| carrying the players left the high
school this morning at o'clock
Coach Cassidy hopes that it will ar
rive in Pittsfeld about noon in
time for the game.
