 Then in the ninth with the score still standing at 10 c, the Robins set about stirring up real trouble.

DRAWING
 GREAT INTEREST
First Racing Test of Spring for
 Three Boat Crews

NeH York, May P-No early season college regatta in many a moon has attracted such widespread interest as the triangular contest this Saturday on the Schuylkill river among the varsity crews ot Yale. Columbia and Pennsylvania.
 Not only is it the first racing test Of the spring for these three boat loads, but in one and the same re- gatta, for the first time, the oCach- ing systems Of the new eastern Big Three will be subjected 10 test.
 These three guiding minds are Young Dick Glendon, who turned out the intercollegiate championship eight at Columbia last year; Ed l Leader, whose Eli yarsitics have lost only two races in the last five years; and Rusty Callow, at the Pennsyl- vanla helm for the first time after five years of brilliant success with Nashington's oarsmen.
 IT will be the famHus Glendon stroke against Q brace of varieties that have Washington background, for both Leader and Callow come from the same school of rowing in the far west.

FALCONS DECIDE
 ID ENTER LEAGUE
Local Team ReConsiderS Action
 on Connecticut Circuit

Managers of teams in the Connec- ticut State Baseball league were mo- tifed last night at meeting in Meriden by Manager John Cabay of the Falcon baseball team of this city that the club had decided to enter the league. A reconsidera- ton of the action of the club, in withdrawing when its request for all Sunday dates at home was denied, was made during the present week at a meeting of the club and a sat- lsfactory arrangement was made be- tween the managers of the league last night.
 Following the action of the Fal- cons in entering the circuit, the All kensngton team representative, Manager Eddie Moore. stated that the Paper Goods club would also be a member of the circuit.
 The entrance of the New Britain and kensington teams rounds out a siN-club circuit and play will be started next Sunday afternoon, May 6. The other teams entered in the league are the Bristol and Meriden Endees, Torrington and the Cont munity club of Manchester.
 The Falcons will not play their first league game this coming Sun day but will open the season here against the St. Anthony 4. (. team of Hartford. This team was sched- uled to play here last Sunday but ha
 The Hartford crew is one of the strongest baseball combinations in this section of the state. On the squad are the Farrell Brothers. Alexander DcNito. Tibbles and many other well known stars.
 The Falcons have had likely looking squad out to practice and the lineup will be formed from those who show for practice next Satur- day afternoon. The workout IS scheduled to take place at o'clock Saturday afternoon and Coach Ray Begley plans, seeing that the warm weather has set in in earnest, to put the squad through a stiff practice session.
 kcnsington Plans
 All-k kensington has no game scheduled for this weekend but two practice sessions have been called, one for Saturday afternoon and the other for Sunday afternoon. The team will open up a week from Sum- day with a league game and the squad will be picked from the next few workouts.

HARTFORD HIGH
 HERE TOMORROW
Locals Have Fair Chance to Cop
 Victory Over Rivals

Although the New Britain high school baseball team is not the strongest that has ever represented the school nor nearly as strong as the greatest percentage of its pre- decessors. it will have fair chance of victory against Hartford Public high school tomorrow afternoon at Willow Brook park.
 Hartford, like the Hardware City high school, is represented by a mediocre nine. and it cannot be placed as a. favorite over the Red and Gold team despite the lack of veteran material on the New Britain squad.
 In the opening game of the sea- son Hartford was defeated ? to Q by West Hartford high school team. Throughout the nine innings the best the Hartford players could do was to collect two scattered hits.
 It is probable that Wilton Mercy. a member of last years pitching | staff, will be given the call to start
 
 l pitch Joe Potts may be sent to the mound. Coach Cassidy is trying hard to get a set lineup. but he is experiencing considerable difficulty. Track Team is Ready Saturday afternoon the track team | will take to the road. Suffied Preparatory school which was to en- certain the New Britain high base ball team last Saturday, but was ] denied the honor because of the rain. will be host to the track team. Suffield's track team has lost many 1 of it's stars from last year and is not as strong as it was. The greatest loss. probably, was that of "Rangy Bill' Davis of this city who was high jumper extraordinary and a 1 strong member of the relay team

No all-round track and field star has shown any more improvement in the last year or so than Kenneth Doherty. the slim, 2l-year- old De- troit product
 Doherty was runner-up 10 the veteran Tony Plansky in the first Olympic decathlon tryout at the Penn relays and should have little difficulty earning a place on the Olympic team in the final trials at New Haven July 4.
 Doherty was an athletic novice when he was taken in hand by the Detroit City college coach, D. J.. Holmes, three years ago. To show how he has improved in this short period here are some of the advance he has made in various features of the decathlon test: Shotput, 35 feet to fl feet. II inches; discus. ll0 to l3l feet; javeln, 142 to 19l feet: pole vault, 10 feet to 1 feet. I inches; high jump, feet. ' inches to 6 feet, inch: broad jump, around IS feet, to 22 feet, inches. Doherty also can do the high hurdles in 16 seconds, the low hurdles in 26 seconds, 100 yards in 10 3-5 and the quarter-mile in 3, 4-5 seconds. These are his best marks but they are just about good enough to win any all-around tussle 1 if the Detroit youth happens to hit l top stride on the proper day.
