HARTFORD TEAM
 SWAMPS LOCALS Both High School Mines Play
 Very Ragged Baseball

Smashing hits, errors Of every de- scription. mediocre pitching, and wild base stealing all combined to make the opening baseball game of the season here and the first of the home and home series of games be- tween Hartford Public High school and New Britain High school teams one of the most uninteresting games seen in some time. Although Hart ford won 20 to 12 it was just as guilty of inferior playing as the los ing team.
 Too much criticism of the type of baseball played by the teams should not be laid on the shoulders of the players. New Britain was playing it's first game Of the season with a line up that contained several new play CTS. Hartford had q few veterans on the team and it had the benefit of one game played so it looked a bit better than the Hardware City nine. The New Britain inficld did not seem to be there on the defense. It | made errors of both omission and commission. The teams did some hard hitting and the result was that four New Britain hurlers faced Hartford and two Hartford pitchers faced the Hardware City team.
