Manager Lanpher feels, after the game last Saturday night, that a change is needed in the team and the addition of McElwain, with his ability to hold down the wildfire of the New Britain players. would be ideal. A little common sense mixed in with heady play last Saturday night might have returned New Britain a winner.

Farmer Browns Boy approached the

Farmer Browns Boy took one good
