PAWNEES ID PLAY BRIDGEPORT TEAM
MohicanS to Appear Against
 Local Champions on Sunday

With the Rams playing in New Haven Sunday the only football at- traction for this city will be the football game between the Mohicans of Bridgeport and the New Britain Pawnees.
 This will be the first home ap pearance of the Pawnees since they won the city championship last year after a hard battle with the Blues. The Pawnees have a large follow ing and in the years they have been playing they have enjoyed increas- ed popularity. Regardless of wheth- CT they are being defeated or on the winning side the team is in there fighting. They are playing for the love of the game and the pecuniary advantage of playing is not in the mind of the team in it's games.
 Bridgeport professional teams are always good attractions in this city. The last time the team appeared here the toughest game in history was played. New Britain grid stars Nlio lldft DeSll up dSdl1lot CNCly type of game in college and on the professional field declared the Park City outfit was the toughest team they ever faced.
 Pawnees Lack Weight
 As usual the Pawnees will be out weighed. This has been the case in every game tbe team has played but despite handicaps the Pawnees have had fair success. This season the team has played three games. One resulted in 6 to 0 defeat but the other two were scoreless ties. After a hard trip to Holyoke the Pawnees were defeated by the pro- fessional team of that place. The Waterbury Bearcats and the Mid dletown Tufts were not able to de- feat the Pawnees despite poundage advantages in their favor.
 The Mohican outfit is one of the oldest professional teams in this sec tion. In the old days when the Nutmegs were playing on Andrews lot. one of the main attractions of the season was a game against the Bridgeport Mohicans.

The Baptist Boys club held its first meeting of the season last night at the Y. M. C. A. Many of the members of last year were present, and officers for the coming year were elected as follows: President. Hol- comb Jones; secretary, Ernest John- son; treasurer, Oscar Kallin. John Drummond was elected captain of the clubs basketball team this win ter.
 The club will be divided into two There will be about 14 older boys, and 12 younger ones. The same leaders will be in charge. They are Charles Laughton and Theodore Beach. Besides holding a weekly meeting they will use the gymnasium for basketball practice one night each week.
 Stamp Club
 An announcement was made last night which will be of interest to the members of the boys department who are interested in collecting post age stamps. Percy Washburn. who served as leader of the club last year. has consented to meet the boys again this year for a few weeks at least.
 Last year. through the efforts of Mir Washburn, the hobby of stamp collecting became very popular among the boys. The stamp club which met weekly to discuss the var ious phases of stamp collecting was the club with the largest member ship in the department. The mem- bership increased weekly from the start until there were 47 members enrolled, ,...

 If the game does not go through the Kensington- -All-Star contest will be the closing game of the season. This has been the best season the Kensington team has enjoyed m many years.

SERIES FINISHES
 IN DISMAL GLOOM
Athletics RoOterS Too Polite,
 While Cards Leave Early

Philadelphia, Oct. (UP)-That greatest of American sporting spec tacles, the World series, came to dismal windup with Thomas Shibe's amplified photograph footing Somewhere in Old Wyoming and with the same MT. Shibe's ball team smacking baseballs in the general direction of somewhere in old New Jersey.
 Any alert observer who might have been so unfortunate as to at tend the final performance. the mer- ciless slaughter of Gabby Streets in- nocents, might we'll have shed a bucket of salt tears for dear old baseball.
 To begin with there were great number of vacant seats in the grandstand when Taylor Douthit went to the plate in the first inning. Such state of afairs-empty seats at the sixth game of World series struggle-is nothing if not deplor- able. Those who stayed away don't know what fine photograph music they missed.
 Card Fans Leave Early
 It was also a matter of comment that, at the completion of the sev- enth inning, a goodly number of the St. Louis burghers arose and stamp ed out of the grandstand in various stages of dudgeon. Any etiquette book will tell you that it is proper to hang around, at World series game, until the last ball has been pitched. be the score even 100 to Z.
 As if to top off these distressing circumstances, the Philadelphia fans were ridiculously behaved. The fans were so polite. in fact, that the signs on the outfieldJ walls, urging all patrons to be nice and refrain from throwing cushions into the arena, seemed almost an insult.
 Cheers for Bottomley
 Take also the reception given poor Jim Bottomley. The first time he came to bat prodigious cheer arose. Here was Sunny Jim, big stick of the Cards gone flooeys and yet they stamped their feet for him. Baseball ethics virtually demanded a round of Bronx cheers. But no. fhe assorted Alphonses and Cas- tons of Philadelphia whooped it up as though he were Jimmy Foxx, or even Gallant Fox.
 The ponderous voice of one lone fan of the old school boomed across MT. Shibe's green pastures during the afternoon. This particular gen. tleman, extremely thickset, wore a yellow shirt. He sat on the steps, out in the aisle, indicating he couldn't afford ticket.
 But at frequent intervals he would clap small Rudy Vallee mega phone to his mouth and let forth ear-splitting whoops. He owned a tremendous vocabulary, especially of words designed to provoke ire. He called everybody from George Earn shaw down to the bat-boy an oa' a
 Ruth Keeps Own Score
 Up in the press stands Babe Ruth spent the afternoon marking a score card just to prove thaS no ghost t-writer does all hls work. And down below, Buster Keaton, a rabid St. Louis fan, spent several hours looking as glum as COW.
 So it ended, in burst of half hearted whoops and whole-hearted scowls. The chances are there'll be another one next year to look for ward to.

see the games. sundays attraction will undoubtedly be one of the best of the season. It is impossible for the Corbin team, champions of New Britain, to play the Kensington champions because of the fact that the same players occupy many Of the positions on both teams. Joe Jackson will probably sign Corbin players who are not wearing the Kensington uniform and will also get stars from the city and indus trial leagues. Joe is a great base ball fan and he knows every play CT, good and bad, in the city. If anyone can pick up, a te nm that will break the Kensington record, Jack son is the one.

 The Pioneer A. c. football team of Bristol is anxious to book road games with teams in the 150-pound g and Is. The manager is John Da- witt of 241 Broad street, Forestville, and his telephone is 1162-3.
 Jim Bottomley, who is receiving almost unanimous choice as the World Series goat" was in a tough position in the last inning yesterday. Undoubtedly he realized he was in 8 terrible batting slump and needed just one more strikeout to tie the World series strikeout record of "Long George" Kelly. The count was three and two and there was one man on. Luck was with Bottomley. He drew a walk.
 Had Bottomley struck out that would have put final touch to the scene and every sports writer at the game would have had his individual joke about it. The Cardinal first baseman fooled them and there were a good many fans who were glad he did.

One of the most enjoyable fea- lures of life at Vermont academy is the fact that the New Britain ath- letes who let their personal friend- ship go by default so that their fra ternities might be successful are back again as friends and have for gotten their fraternal connections.
 Prior to going to high school the group of boys who have made up the nucleus of the teams last year were all one gang. but when the fraternities began to work some went into one organization and some joined another. with the re- suit that they were really enemies.
 On many occasions they voted against each other and in favor of someone who was nothing more than an acquaintance so that the fraternity might either succeed or might prevent another fraternity from success
