 Spring. Jr.. substitute center on the
 Hartford High school football team
 during the playing season. A club
 house has been built. the "Lion
 Tanners" doing the work them
 selves. pouring the concrete and
 wiring it for electricity, etc.
 President Spring is the we'll
 known huntsman who spells death
 to racoons and any animal that
 looks like them. He is also a great
 admirer of the New York Giants
 and makes one or two trips to New
 1ork in the summer to watch the
 team in action. He hasn't voiced
 his opinion on the trade which sent
 Rogers Hornsby to the Boston
 Twenty years ago anyone in this
 city might just as well have taken
 his life in his hands as predict that
 one day Fred Jean would not only
 desert New Britain but would also "o "OtesS tAAuu tIett ptdy UIt d llaFt-
 ford roller hockey team. But, no matter how unbelievable that might be. Jean will appear in a Hartford uniform Thursday night against his first love, New Britain.
 Red" Donnelly was the butt for | the jibes and squawks from the l bleachers last Monday night, but We are interested in awaiting the ! reception to be given to Jean when ! he comes onto the floor here Thursday. If We don't miss our guess, the chorus of razzberries will be one of the greatest ever accord cd any player in this city.
 Keeping an ear to the ground i, these days has become quite q job. | Now it is football and We under- stand that definite steps will b. taken very soon to form d state league. One of the requirements to be agreed upon will be rdding Con. nectlcut professional football of {, H'S piN1N btdFS.
 Those interested in the move ment have poisted out that there are six cities awaiting an oppor- tunlty 10 enter circuit such as is ( being intimated. Bridgeport, Water- bury. New Haven. Stamford Meri- den and New Britain are all men uoned as possible entries. Hartford has not been mentioned because no /, one in the Capital City seems to be I much interested in football since 7, the windup of the professional sit uat'on there in the past two years.
 Looking over the local field. if f, appears that there is plenty of cx- F rel'ent talent represented in New I Britain for football team. Red" /, o'Neil, Jumbo" Gnasdow, "Cnclc' connolly. Carl Brink. Zip Zehrer, Griswold. Pigeon Connolly |, ma many others too numerous to | mention. give New Britain the nu. |, ;'sus Of team that would make Y --f-oD A'oAA Ill Stutp CITtlGS.
 ihlS may all be out Of order at lie present time because of the facr x nat almost an entire year must 'J 'ass by before another grid season s- oils around. but We again arise to l, tate that the only salvation offered tue professional football situation Il tnls state is the formation of 7, I. late league on the lines mentioned P bove. r.
