A meeting of the teams interested
in the proposed Fairfli‘ld County
basketball league will be had in
Stamford next Sunday afternoon at
3 o’clock. it has been impossible to
get all the managers present during
the week, due to so many games in
different parts of tho county. it was
decided yostcrduy to hold tho moot-
his next Sunday. The New Canaan
Big Five and Stamford Blues are
clashing at Columbus Hall at 4
o'clock and tho mneiing will take
place an hour earlier.
Tho Bridgeport 1.31 ii. A. may
send a represontatlve to the meeting.
it has been suggested to have .I. six-
toam league with one team from six
different places. It had been origin—
ally planned to have two teams from
iNorwalk and two from Stamford, be—
‘sides one from Danbury and the
other from New Canaan.
All the teams mentioned are In-
torcsted in the league and are anx—
ious to talk over the matter of a
league. The old time basketball play-
ers. managers. officials and fans be-
llovo that such a league would be
beneficial to the game or this time.

A four or five-day rust would be ab-

Last season was a big one for the
two veterans. Johnson won 20
games and lust only seven, Cobb
batted 675 .

Those two records speak volumes
for the greatness of Johnson and
Cobb, for length of serI'lcc and re-
mnrkublo performance.
As a matter of fact. Cobb hung
up several new batting marks. one of
them being tho making of five home

One day last season Johnson told
mo that with a five-day rest his arm
fools as strong as over. As a mat-
ter of fact. he remarked that his
loss gave him greater concern than
his arm.
“Often my poor pitching late in
the game on some hot day is duo to
leg weakness, rather than any trou-
blc with my arm. Tho constant
striding so Taxes my underpinning.
that often it feels mighty wobbly at
the finish.” was the way Johnson I
explained it.

ing camp. Cobb Ioid me he intended
to play 100 gunws. lic- took part in
101 in the outfield. ln perhaps a
dozen more 11-: went in as a pinch

If Johuscm gets a. four or five
day rest between starts and Cobb
doesn‘t try to play more than 100
games. perhaps 15. both of them will
be up among the elect In 1926 as at
yore.
