Bridgeport, July 20.—All that can be said of New Britain’s play during the past week was that it.improved gver that of the previous week. The team won a game and forced other teams to fight hard. But it had New ZLondon for a double header at the ‘elose and so far the Skis have not made that team bow in defeat. The . team is fielding well and its pitchers | put up some fine games. But the ‘Scoring punch is still shy, as | ‘figures below disclose. One victory dut of the six games played tells the istory. It got that single victory by fine uphill work. ' While New Britain was about its Business in the fashion noted the oth- ®r fellows were bothering New Lon- don to some extent. McCann’s men won only four out of seven and like the week before it was the wins from New Britain which staved off a weak- er showing. It was Springfield which ‘did the best work: Under the form- er Hartford manager, McDonald, the ‘Ponles show something of the form . lexpected of them. They won four and ‘tied one In six games. Waterbury gaineéd a little on 'New London with ‘four wins out of six games. Bridge- ort made an even break of it. The ‘Southpaw Smiths, one in New Haven @nd the other in New Britain, to say nothing of the family slugger in Wa- terbury, conspired to queer the Bolts® hopes. Pittsfield divided seven games, getting the other half of the first tie of the season. New Haven fell back with only two wins in five games. , Jack Egan is the only New Britain . gman left in the .300 class and Jack | suffered.quite a loss in average. Most of the team made gains.

There was a slaughter' of ‘the bat- iting innocents for fair ‘last week. ‘Eight of them had to - fall vie- tims to the curve dope, including such veterans as Keliher of Hartford and Somerlot of Pittsfleld, who ‘have hung on steadily up to date. Others who went out were Chancey and An- germeir of New Haven, Gefst of Hart- ford and Groh and Keegan of Spring- field. Just two recruits, Pepe and Wwendell, came in and so saved the list from close to complete collapse, so far as .300 ‘business is concerned. Joe Pepe.did a special batting stunt. While that record game in length shed many averages it boosted {s. He had six safe hits. Above all £his turmoil of comings and goings Manager Fohl's flag defles all hurlers, . He held to his high average of a week ago and for the first time this season 4s the de facto, de jure and every other kind of leader. Pepe's big six rought his total up to: 78 in company soith Smith of Waterbury, who has had a heavy slump. Here is the much sbbreviated list: * - Fohl, W. .... Crook, B. Egan, N.

Pittsfleld was the heavy loser with thirteen points off. Then came Springfleld with a tumble of four and Waterbury with a loss of three. New Haven galned four, Bridgeport two and New Britain two.

Bridgeport and New London run neck and neck in high class work. If New London keeps up its run of errorless games it will break the record. These two teams each gained one point. Springfleld was another single point gainer and 8o was Hartford. New Britain gained two points. The other teams made no change.

Twenty-one members of the New Britain Motorcycle club enjoyed their third annual outing yesterday at South Glastonbury. The outing was in the form of a “blind run,” given by Monier Bros. The boys made their rendezvous at Louis Tryon's place on the banks of the Connecticut and a long program of sports was carried out. The start was made at 9 o'clock and the route lay through Hartford and East Hart- ford. In the procession were "three side cars and a similar number of tandems. The others rode single. After the speeders had rested up the athletic program was carrfed out. The opening number was a tug of war, won by Captain Schroeder's huskies with two straight pulls. His assistants were Ross, Twining, Faulk, Beebe, D. Johnson, Scheeler, D. Clark and F. Monier. The losing team was captained by Lund and the ' other members were Morrin, Wilson, H. Gustafson, R. Gustafson, Voight, Fletcher, Fellows and Holmen. Other events were as follows: Quick start for two speeds won by Willlam Schroeder, plug. Quick start for single speed only, won by Walter Faulk, spark plug. Three-legged race, won by Harry Gustafson and Walter Faulk, can of Mobiloil each. Hop, step and jump, won by Harry Gustafson, 32 ft, 7 in, pair of goggles, Shot put, won by T. Monier, motor- cycle lock. Fifty yard dash, won by Harry Gus- tafson, Prestolite exchange. Fat man’s race, won by Twining; second, “‘Fat” Morrin. The last event proved to be the best of the whole program. Twining was built bigger east and west than Mor- rin and won by a stomach. Mr. and Mrs. Tryon furnished a spread fit for king: The menu in- ciuded clam chowder, chicken and guinea hens, dressing, turnips, maghed potatoes, beets, squash, pickles, fruit, ice cream, cake, coffee and sweet cider, After .dinner the boys boarded the Tryon launch and went for a spin on the river. During the trip Morrin was marooned on the other side and his wig-wag signals of distress caused no little excitement along the stream as pleasure seekers thought he was Robinson Crusoe come to life. The only accident of the day was on the way down when “Bill” Voight's machine skidded in a sandy spot, sending its owner in a graceful half over the handlebars, only, spark “pap - Pick McLoughlin’s Partner matches in August. Bundy has al- ways been McLoughlin’s partner in tournament play, and they have per- fected their team work better than any other pair in the country. Post Mortems “Jim” Garry gave as miserable ‘an exhibition of umpiring Saturday as has been seen in the league this season. Garry is a gentleman and a 800d fellow and all that but he is no umpire. He was away off on balls and strikes and his decisions on the bases were questionable. The attendance was the biggest this year. There were about 1,200 paid ad- missions- and “Bill” ‘Scinski was as tickled as a flea on a sleeping dog. With the exception of the Hartford game on Fourth of July morning it was the only real crowd at a game this season. Willie Jones and “S8i” Dawson had their hands full in the\outfield and both maintained their reputations as speedy outfielders. In the first game Heath was slightly off color but his wcerk in the second was commendable. It is not the easiest thing in the world to wade into a crowd and pick off a high foul while hanging over a fence in front of the bleachers. The two baggers made by Wilson and Smith and one by Jones went clean to the fence in center fleld. All three swing hard at the ball and when they meet it—Good night, Baker. Things looked good when Dorey Miller boosted the ball over left field fence in the second game and made the score 2 to 2 in favor of New Eritain. But that New London bunch form a tough combination with the bat and just clouted out a victory in the last minute.
