The figures show im- proved batting and fielding and New | Britain is now a .960 team in ‘field ‘work. It pushed up a peg and tied [ New Haven in this direction. But there is one other thing which may bring a little joy to the New Britain heart. It is no longér the Jowest scoring team in the league. /That spurt with New Haven enabled ‘Scinski’s boys to get out of the last hole in run making, while “the dear- est foe' over Hartford way was | shoved into the cavity. New Britain now has a margin of four over . the 'O'Neil crowd. . © While New Britain was trying hard | to improve its record New London | went on its winning way with four iwins out of five games played, a gain ot & game for the week, Waterbury _winning only three out of five. | Bridgeport fell back further with four } wins out of seven games. Pittsfleld ‘made a little spurt and won four out of six played. Springfield divided six games, while Hartford won only two | out of five. New Haven had its poor- est week of the season winning only ‘one of six games. | New' Britain has something Jeast three teams in the league, | that is representatives in the .300 | class. Egan holds up his end in great shape. He gained ghree points and is fifth among the league stick- _ers. Jones made a fine spurt and ‘gained twelve points which put him in the select ranks once again. Flannmery was another great per- . former with the willow, gaining 42 points. Miller put on 16; Smith 11, Zeimer and Tetrault two each and ‘Wilson four.

Since we last had a talk with the Hurlets there have been many shifts and changes. But the oné ' thing standinig out as prominently as ever is the high rank of the New Lon- doners. Greenwall is the best win- ner. He is also a star performer in keeping the runs down, the true mea- sure of a pitcher's ability. '~ Osbérne of Waterbury holds the best average| in this respect.

London out of the lead they were unpleas- antly surprised yesterday in running against a snag in the form of “Bill” Scinski’s club from New Britain. The Hardware City lads ‘“‘done” the Wa- terburians to a turn, insulting them by winning the first game, 5 to' 2, and fubbing it in by annexing the second, 10 to 9. It was the first timie this year than New Britain has beaten Water- bury. - Clever flelding by New Britain in the first game keépt Watérbury from getting a majority of the runs. Daw- son, Jones and Tetreault did consid- erable cavorting in: the outfleld and speared everything that went in the air.. Flannery played third base and gave a good account of himself. Carey, one of New Britain latest reeruits was stationed on the midway and shaped up well. At the bat he got two clouts out of three trips but was with- drawn when he twisted his ankle. The New Britain club got fifteen hits in both games. These were for | twenty-one bases. The Skis stung the ball hard.. In the first game Dawaon | slammed out a two sacker and Tet- reault came through with a triple. In | the second Miller made two doubles and Flannery one. Dug Smith pitched a masterly game in the opening session and held Waterbury to five hits. He was _op- posed by “Slate”’ Frost. In the sec- ond Woodward was going like a house afire until the, fifth inning when Hhe began to distribute passes. like an in- toxicated sea-faring person. ' Han- cock succeeded Him. G. Smith start- ed the game for Waterbury but ' was yanked affer thé fourth when “Nosey” Hoylik took up the task. | It wad a very unhappy home crowd 'that seéped through the Reidville "ute‘ after the games.
