| SAYS CHALLENGER N. B. LOOKS BETTER During Past Week Team Makes Decided Gains. Bridgeport, June 1.—There were lsigns. of Improved play in New Brit- ain’s work last week. The team gave Hartford a tough tussie and it may Yyet work into greatly improved form. Bmith shows something of the skill which he displayed in Meriden. If he can get his cunning into last sea- Son's form the other fellows will find it hard to, win a ball. Paddy Greene, t6o, 160ks better than he has been in several seasons. Couple this with the striking gains in batting and flelding and New Britain may yet be | happy. During the past week the team won two out of seven games. I£"is not so much, but it was a gain, d that means something. The big event of the week was the spurt of New London with six wins | out of seven games and the tumble | of Waterbury with only two wins out | of seven. ; New Britain did just as well. Springfield was the other spurter with five wins out of seven games. All this carried the Ponies up | to nose and nose running with Water- bury. Hartford did not have much of a job with only three wins out of seven laffairs, and New Haven and Pitts- field traveled at the same speed. Bridgeport won four out of seven. | New There is a team which would give them all a run if it had a couple of gtrong hurlers, It is the best scor- ing machine in the league. Locals in .300 Class. \ New Britain has quite a few per- | formers in the .300 class. Catcher Bgan looks good. He starts off by leading the league. Jones, Luby and Foran make up a quartet, and that s as much as any team has. New Britain made a fine gain of seven- teen points in team batting and there was an improvement of four points In flelding. Tetreault looks as though he might make a bid for fast class honors. He has made at least one gafe hit in each of his last nine games ind is close to the .300 mark, includ- ing his game in Pittsfield. Here are the records of those players now with New Britain: Egan .429, Luby .34 Jones .332, Tetrault .275, Noyes .268, Hancock .263, Zeimer .239, Greene ,288, Connelly .208, Wilson .200, Daw- gon .103, O'Hara .096, Burroughs 067, Foran .333, Individual Batting. All pitchers, except New London's, look alike to the batters these days | and the army is well recruited when 80me horse hide smasher falls under | the assault of the curvers, The real | leader today is Nixon of Waterbury. He was ‘the first man to pass the| twenty-five mark in safe hits and he | is now headed for the fifty, With Fohl and Smith of the same team he | has formed a hitting trust which will need President Wilson's attention if it is continued. The amalgamated so- elety of heavers is about to lodge a ! protest. There are twenty-five in the | honor list today. Some new arrivals : were Fns of Bridgeport, Curry of Hartford, Barr of New Haven, Pratt of Springfleld and Briggs of New ! London, a goodly lot of clever clout- ers. All teams are still represented. Here is the list: Egan, New Britain ixon, Waterbury Fohl, Waterbury Smith, Waterbury Wehrell, Springfield Keliher, Hartford Luby, New Eritain Stankatd, Spri Jones, New Rritain New Haven New Britain Hilderbrand, New London Groh, Springfield Rettig, Pittsfield Quinn, New London .

Waterbury lost eight, but still leads.

Baseball fans of New Britain should appreciate the action of “Bill" Secin- ski, the owner of the New Britain ball team, in staging a game in this city Saturday morning when it would have been to his benefit financially to transfer it to Springfield, as r quested by the' Ponles’ management. Scinski is the gamest magnate in the league, despite the fact that he has been losing money steadily. He is doing his best to strengthen the team and expects to make more changes until a satisfactory Aggrega- tion has been assembled. Guess on how much he has dropped range from $65,000 to $8,000, including the sum he paid for the franchise, He was shown where he could get some of that back by transferring Saturday morning’s game, but refused to do so, as he realized that local fans wanted to see some professional baseball on the holiday. It was a disappointment to some to have the game called at 10:45 as New Britain was showing a splen- did fighting spirit. But that had been agreed on hours before and the program could not be changed. It might be well for the schedule maker to pit nearby teams against each other on holidays, as one city at least must be given an abbreviated exhibi- tion. Pitcher Burroughs has been to New York to be examined by a physician regarding his arm. It is believed that some ligaments in his shoulder have become crossed as he is unable to throw a ball across the diamond. RESOLUTE SAILS INTO COVE.

Johnson, who pitched for the Pio- neers, had the visitors entirely in his power, having twelve strikeouts. McKeen, the Pioneers’ new catcher, made a good impression. He was right at home with the bat, having three singles and a double to his credit. The summary: New Britain, ab. r. bl swatfest ° ° Lt como~oonm I~ 1f. W. Campbell,, 3b. McKeon, c. J.

The feature of the game was the hitting of Burns, the Vine street second baseman who knocked out three two-baggers, send- ing in four runs and the batting of Madden of Hartford.

DS TRIMMED. Ends were defeated by Brook Juniors at Broad F vesterday by a score of 8 to 7. It was a fast game all the way through and the visitors led 7 to & up to the ninth inning when the home team went out and gathered two runs by good hitting.
