 A group of New Britain boys will swell the ranks of the Vermont academy football squad this year, according to information received yesterday. A group of seven of them will be out for the grid team up north this year and, it is expected, the greater number of them will make the grade.
 Among those attending the Yer mont academy this year will be Prank Casale, fighting center on the New Britain High school team last year; Gunnard Nelson, left end on the local squad; Eddie Sowka full back and punter, whose work in the Hartford High game last year was the best seen in the high school baCkfeld in some years, and Henry Kraszewski. substitute halfback and a star player. Besides this high school quartet, the Westergren brothers, Arnold and Kenneth, two stars of the New Britain Blues, will

 The Vermont academy team has won the state championship in Yer mont for three years and has been defeated only once in the last two years. The team faces a tough I,,1p in, games with the Harvard freshman team, St. Benedict's at Newark. Troy Conference academy and other strong teams J. II. Burke is coach of the eleven.

 To 1,J-, l., Falcon baseball team announced today that the Kensington team, in it's agreement for a game tomOr- row, has allowed him to Use Mich ols, the pitcher over whom a con- troversy arose last Monday.
 He also takes issue, saying that the Holy Cross team is getting too much publicity over it's game with the Corbin Red Sox tomorrow This department usually tries to feature those games which in the minds of the baseball fans, are the feature battles. In comparing the two games being played tomorrow, one at St. Marys field and the other in Kensington, we believe the contest between the Corbin Red Sox and the Holy Cross teams to be the out standing game of the day. The two were undefeated in the playoff in the city title series as far as it went while the Falcons lost two games and the Kensington team three.
 For that reason, the game has been featured on the sport page At the same time, however. the Kensington- Falcon game received space, plenty enough, we consider, for the importance of the contest
 Of course, we don't expect Man ager Smulski to agree with us in this matter, but the majority of the fans will back up our stand. All season long the Falcons received plenty of publicity and plenty Of headlines on the sports pages of local newspapers. No complaint was heard from Manager John Cabay on this score nor from any of the other teams playing in the city, including the Kcnsngton A. C.. the Corbin Rcd SoX. the Senecaa. the Burritts, the Sokols or any other. II is unfortunate that the Fal- COTS find themselves in the position of being sort of out Of the picture, but that isn't the fault of anyone but the Falcon team. As far as news goes, the situation in the flu ture might be entirely changed. The Buffalo baseball team yes tcrday took the rubber game in the American Legion world series from New Orleans, and as d trophy, the team has large silver cup while the team will see every game Of the world series. The team today stands crowned champion of teams on which over 35O,0O0 boys played, none of them over 16 years of age, Bill Joyce pitched his 14th consecutive victory in ending the series yesterday.
 Buffalo won it's 25th victory yes terday in 26 games while New Or leans had lost only one game pre- viously to losing two to Buffalo. As mark of consolation. New Or leans has the distinction of having been the only team to defeat the
