There is not much that can be eaid of New Britain's record for the past seven days, other than that it was a disappointment just as the Skis showed winning form. The team went up against New London four times and was evidently- fright- ened by the power of the These defeats with others made the record seven straight on the wrong side. Maybe it will break the other some It was Waterbury which furnished the league sensation this week, with six straight victories and a gain on New London of two games. Fonl's men are going along in fine style for the present. They took occa- sion while fortune was smiling to shove a couple of well meant spurts onto the siding of defeat. ' Bridge- port and Springfield were the vic- tims. Bridgeport had no trouble iIn defeating New London, but it fell twice before Waterbury and made the record for the week four wins out of seven games. Springfield tributed three to the Waterbury and its record shows only three wjins in seven games. -New London went on with five wins out of seven games. New Haven was next to Waterbury in doing things with four wins In six games and an advance to the first division over Springfield and Hartford. The gloom in Hartford is only a little less than that in New Britain, and as misery lovés company Hartford and New Britain can shake Jjust now.

Individual Batting. You have got to hand it to Man. ager FFohl of Waterbury. The excite- ment of a thrilling spurt on the part of his underlings and the exercise of brain work in coaching hurlers on batters’ weaknesses fails to stay his infinite variety at the bat. He con- tinues the real leader of the league with a gain of one point, Another backstop, peppery little Crook of Bridgeport, has a better average for fewer games, but the Waterbury leader is the real kingpin for still another week. Curiously enough the first four men belong to the battery part of the teams, Smith of Water- bury is the first of the other half to get into prominence. He leads the league in the number of swat con- tributions with seventy-five. Briggs of New London is hard after him with seventy-two. The new men in this week are Chancet of New Haven, Heath and Egan of New Britain, Connelly, Groh and Keegan of Spring- fleld. Connelly is a comeback, The dead list includes Blum of Bridge- port, Barney and Curry of Hartford and Quinn of New London. Briggs of New London deserves a speclal note. He made at least one safe hit in every one of eleven stralght games, with elghteen altogether and an aver- age of .420. The leaders: Crook, Bridgeport Fohl, Waterbury ..

Curi- ously enough New London also held an even pace, Springfield was the big galner with five points, while New Britain put on four and Pittsfield one. New Haven jumped right into promi- nence with an addition of six points and an advance from seventh to fourth place, Hartford was a great loser, giving up eight points. Bridge- port was the third team to make no change, Bridgeport still'leads in run making, but New London is threat- ening to pass. The figures: A.B.

O'Nell Lets Hartford Catcher Go.— Strahan Making Good. “8§" McDonald, who led the Hart- ford club to the Eastern association pennant last year, has been released by Manager Dan O'Neil, who has as. sumed the responsibility of digging the Senators out of the second divi- sion. Until O'Neil took the reins McDonald was manager of the Hart. ford club. When he was deposed 1t was rumored that he would not re- main long with the team. MecDonald is one of the cleanest and squarest ball players that ever wore a uniform in organized baseball. He is a gentle- man on or off the fleld and is a cred- it to the sport. Since he broke his leg he has lost some of his speed and he is overweight. This, coupled with the fact that he has business interests in Plainville, was the cause for his re- lease, it is said. Strahan, an Amherst college catch- er, is making good behind the bat for the Senators. of the Day. | 3 QUALIFYING ROUND ¢ FOR PRESIDENT'S CLP Thes Tid fo Postions ot New Biin Gl Cub.
