Cleveland, Sept. 13 CP - Wesley Pink Cheek" Terrell, 22 year old right handler, may get big chance to move upwards toward the Amerl- can league pitching throne.
 Today, the world champion Ath- letics, bearing their jewel, Lefty Grove, barge into town for two game series with the Indians.
 Grove and Terrell have staged a race all season for hurling honors in the junior circuit-but they haven't met each other.
 Around the middle of the season Terrell fell into the full stride of a winning streak which carried him to the 13 consecutive victory mark.
 He was the first pitcher in the majors to win A games, but shortly afterwards, Grove breezed past him with 25 victories.
 Ferrell's startling success this year has been clouded with the charge that Manager Roger Peckinpaugh picks soft spots" for him. Though Cleveland fans label this bunk, " there is a suspicion that Terrell will have to outpitch Grove for all- around glory.
 Cleveland fans get hot at the sug- sestion that Peckinpaugh has been lodging a Ferrell-Grove engagement. Wes has beaten the As nine times out of II games in the last two sea- sons. Connie Mack as much as Peck inpaugh is held responsible for the fact that the pitchers haven't met
 Last year was Ferrells' first full season in the majors. He won 21 games while losing 10. After Grove came up to the Athletics in 1925 from Baltimore in the International league. he failed to compile so inn pressive a record until his fourth year.
 Terrell was picked up in 1927 by Cleveland from the semi-pro ranks at East Douglas. Mass, and the next year farmed to Terre Haute in the Three-I league. He won 20 and lost s.
 This year, Terrell demanded a big salary increase. Billy Evans, the clubs general manager, answered that a single season doesn't make a pitcher.
 If Terrell meets Grove he will have an opportunity to climax a big season, as we'll as help draw some 3o,O00 fans past the ticket window.

HIGH SCHOOL GRID TEAM
 LOOKS GOOD IN PRACTICE
Several Candidates Seem Sure Already of Places On Regular Squad-Squad Has Been Put Through Un- usually Hard Workout Number of Injuries Severe and Slight Received-Coach Cassidy Optimistic of Filling Gaps in Line and Backfeld-

Despite the fact \, that the New Britain High school football squad has been practicing a short time. an | idea of what the regular team will l be has been intimated from practice formations.
 Although Coach George M. Cas- sidy regards every position open fo:' competition the general impression is that Captain Joseph Ludwinowicz. White, Jimmy O'Brien and Emma travich are sure of line positions and Ed Kloiber Richie Fink and Frank Zaleski are slated for the backfield. O'Brien and Zimmatravich are guards and will remain in those po- sitions unless it is found that none of the tackle candidates shapes up. White and John Dumin are candi- dates for the center position. If Dumin. a regular of several seasons receives the call. White will prob- ably be shifted to right tackle. Otto Grammitt, pitcher of the baseball team, is inexperienced but he looks like a good prospect for end. Fran cis Mangan, veteran substitute of last year. has been out with injur- ies and little opportunity has been given to study him. Coach Cassidy said today that John Moore. at pres- ent a candidate for fullback, may be a good end prospect.
 In the backfield the fullback posi- tion is open. Ed Steinle is trying for it. Other backfeld men who arc showing good form are Sam Mirili- ami and Babe" Vetrano
 Yesterdays Practice
 Yesterdays High school football practice marked the close of the first week of work for the local candidates. It has been a hard grind, unusually hard for the first week, but Coach George M. Cassidy feels that his squad has gone for ward quite a, bit.
 There is hardly a man on the squad who hasn't receivad some sort of injury as a result of this weeks practices. Bell has a severely hurt | leg. Mangan has bad gash on the scalp and many have sprained thumbs. All are lame through and through. se
 The week has been marked by a surprising showing of the new can didates. Coach Cassidy. cognizant of the fine spirit that these fellows were showing and rewarding them for their hard work, has given them every possible chance to: show, what they can do by placing them on the first and second squads. ..
 Although Coach Cassidy lost many regulars through last years gradu- ations, he has so many candidates who are showing that they know something about football that he will be able to fill up the gaps cred itably.
 Yesterdays practice session was in the hands of several High school graduates and ex-football men as Coach Cassidy planned a weekend trip to Vermont. Practices will be resumed next week.

BENEFIT GAME ARRANGED t
 TO HELP LASKOWSKI BOY
All Star Aggregation of Burritts to Meet Combination of Sacred Hearts and Sokols at Willow BroSk Park Tomorrow - Proceeds to Be Given to Youth Who Received Fractured Nose Last Sunday Kensng- ton Going to Wallingford- to Canaan

A baseball game arranged as . benefit to help pay the hospital ana doctor bills of Henry Laskowski, 1 year old boy who received broken nose last Sunday at Willow Brook park while attending a contest be- tween the Burritt and Sacred Heart teams, will be played tomorrow afternoon at o'clock at Willow Brook park.

It is said that he was forced to undergo an opera tion at New Britain General hospi- tai where he is still patient and for a time he appeared to be in A serious condition. He has recovered from the first shock of the injury and unless complications set in, he will probably recover.
