New Britain herald., 1929-08-30

Providence was one or the ue- | feated teams in the series, having | last to Buffalo the first day. It was one of the teams favored to go , through to the finals. The sting of defeat by another team, in this case at least has not been visited upon | New Britain or it's committee Of Le- gionnaires and citizens. In Provi- | dence, at least, there is no case of sour grapes" The Rhode Island | city shows what it always has shown, good and sincere sportsman ship. We would recommend that Buffalo and Bridgeport, especially the latter, take leaf from the Providence book. There's plenty l there for the both of them to learn.
 It appears that there will be no game tomorrow afternoon at Wal | nut Hill park between the Holy Cross and Burritt teams to decide | the championship of the City Base | ball league. The Burritts are ada mant in their decision not to play a game tomorrow and the Holy Cross management is just as stubborn in it's decision not to postpone the game week.
 Commissioner James J. Naughton has decreed that the game be play ed tomorrow afternoon in order that the winner be able to meet the win ner of the Industrial league in a series for the championship of the 411l4 1,@ ,,,1l procedure in such a case will be taken. namely that the team that shows up for the game will be de- clared the City league champion via {. forfeit while the team that doesn't put in an appearance will be out Of it.
 The Burritts claim that num- Der of their men are on vacations at the present time and they will be so badly crippled that they will be un- able to play. Among those men, toned as being away are Johnny Rose, Johnny klatka and Bruno kania. We understand that Rose leaves on vacation Saturday while klatka and Karia will both be home by that time.
 Manager John Cabay of the Holy Cross team declared today that he will have two teams at the park, the Holy Cross team of the City leagoe and the Holy Cross Reserves, tht road team.
 His team will be ready to meet the Burritts at 2:30 o'clock tomor- low afternoon. If the Burritts are not present and willing to play, a game wilt be staged between the Holy Cross City League team and the Reserves.
 We have no commetn to mako with regard to this argument other than to state that the edict ot Chairman James J. Naughton should be obeyed. Commissioner Naugh- ton has had the plan for series between the City League and Indus trial League champions in mind all season long and, unless the game is played tomorrow afternoon, these plans will go awry.
 The city has made it possible for all the teams to play in the City League and some consideration should be given the officials because of their work during the past year.
 Tn all fairness to all concerned, the game should be played tomorrow afternoon.
 A pretty good idea of the four teams which will remain in the City championship series will be had after the games on Sunday and Mon
 day. It is entirely possible that the mana gers will meet during the next week to discuss the playoff fer the final series. These games will have to be started right away.
 The Holy Cross team is behind in its schedule due to the fact that it still has a game to play with the l|orbin Red Hox
 The Holy Cross Juniors and the Y. NJ. c. A. teams will meet tonight at o'clock at Walnut Hill park to play off a tie game in the Junior City League.
