After making the showing WEI
did against those fellows in their
own back yards I figure that we
ought to do as well if not better
at Griffith Stadium.
by that time wen have our
pitching well organized and will
be able to put our full strength
on the field. I'm only hoping that
our singing holds up during the
next week or so--that'Il be enough.

necessary.
It now seems that Fred Marberry
and Bob Burke will be used In these
scuffles while Braxton and Sam
Jones may follow up in the single
shots.
Jones was worked Intentionally
yesterday in order that he might
be ready for the final game OF the
Yankee set. Jones generally shoots
best against his old teammates
and welcomes all opportunities to
oppose them.
The first division aspirations
Of the Griffmen may seem am

are hot after a first division rating
and are giving everything they've
got to achieve it.
''AH we've got to do IL to keep
playing ball." Manager Walter john
son smiled after yesterdays game, :"
If We keep delivering as we have
been honestly believe we'll pull
up in fourth place.
This gang has been showing
some real fire lately and figures

Miss Beebe, with her youthfulness
and her becoming drives which regu.

Van VIE, attracted q large part Of
the gallery yesterday. It seemed
impossible that Miss Beebe's slight
figure could account for such tre-

on the green, however, and it was
there that Miss Van VIE won the
match.
Today Mrs. Hill is scheduled to

since been confined to his bed. His
knee is in a cast and doctors state
that it will be three months before
he will be able to walk naturally
again. According to the attending
physicians, Saunders basketball
career is over
The game is being arranged by
Al Havlick, captain of the Burritts,
and Clarence Lanpher, manager Of
the New Britain team. Through the
earnest work Of these two men, an
excellent program has been arrang-
ed for the benefit of the injured
player. The winners of the Girls
league in the Industrial circuit will
battle a crack girls team from Mid
dletown. In the main attraction. the
Burritts will battle with the Meri-
den Communities, last years state
junior champions and the only team
in the state to defeat the Burritts
this year. The Meridcn aggregation
scored a - to 10 win over the locals
after a bitter battle at the Arena
last December. The Communities
have scored 10 straight victories.
The Burritts will have their

started the season with the Bur-
ritts. will be in uniform and will be
ready 10 enter the lineup il needed.
Both players were teammates Of

players are included in this list.

services as referee and will handle
both games. Arrangements have also
been completed to have dancing

Saunders was captain Of the high
school team last year and led his
squad through bitter campaign 10
many victories by his brilliant work
at center. His ability to get the
jump and his knack of dropping In
baskets from under the blackboard
made him a feared man. He Was
badly injured in the Hartford New
Britain high battle in the first half
but gamely continued in the second
period although his leg was prac-
| tically useless to him.
During the past summer he treat
cd the leg with every consideration.
His work at center on the Corbin
Screw and Eurritt teams became q
sensation and both aggrcgations
coasted through numerous victories.

Saunders and brought back the old
