 The day before the fight poor Pete was low. His hands shook ',t times. He lost sleep; He develop cd habit of talking about how hard Jeff hit.
 As a humanitarian measure, " gave him few jolts of liquor. AnC iii no time he got a butcher knife and wanted to go to Jef's. Req men, Pete aNcrrcd, fight wit l knives, not gloves.

Officials of the league have al ready been in communication with Manager Lanphcr over the proposed Nntry Of New Britain into the league. and hc has written 10 express his willingness to attend the next meet ing whenever it is called. He would then discuss the matters he has in mind. and if agreeable, the chances arc likely that New Britain would be entered in the league.
 Of course all of these plans are being made for next season. This would enable the local manager to lay his plans immediately for next year and prepare all of the details in connection with the league.
 It is our opinion that, without an increase in admission price and with Saturday nights reserved for home games, New Britain would be a fer tile field for American League bas- llctball As it has been this season, fans here have been seeing Ameri- can League teams one after the other and quintets that are near the calibcr of American League quintets. and they seem to like this brand ot bask kctball
 New Britain. of course would be greatly strengthened and the players would be required to live in this 'ity and do nothing but play the game. They would probably be paid ;t weekly salary the same as they are on other clubs and this would give the local manager a quintet that would always be on the job.
 If it happens that Manager Lan- pher decides to enter the eastern half of the American League, we be- leVc that the fans of this city anc surrounding centers. would welcome the movement. We haven't any doub but that New Britain would suppor' the project and support it literally
