Challenger, Offi- cial Scorer, Eastern Assn.) Bridgeport, Aug. 3.—You have to hand it to Manager Scinski as the Jgamest sport organized baseball has een around these parts in many a y. New Britain ought to back him or that alone. Now just note how he team is handing out surprises. It ooked like a million to one against t that the Skis could win a double eader in Waterbury and on a Sun- ay, too, and vet that is what the eam did. Up to date the team has olted Hartford, Bridgeport and Wa- erbury. It remalins for the Skis to \soak New. London one to complete the program. Last week the boys won three out of seven games and - broke one of their own records by winning three straight. Improved batting and fielding behind stronger pitching is doing the trick. Springfield was the limelight team for the week with five wins out of seven games. Manager McDonald has worked wonders for the Ponies. Pitts- “fleld came next with four wins out of eix games. New London held its own with three wins and a tie out of five games.: It came through the critical geries with Bridgeport on an even break, thanks to that long session tie. Waterbury did fairly well by win- ning four out of seven games. Hart- fora won three out of seven. Bridge- port won only a single game out of four played, one going to a tie. New Haven fell further into the soup by losing six out of seven. But they are ‘ yeorganizing down that way and bet- ter work may be expected for the finish. The season still has six Weeks to run and New London’s lead is not a cinch. One year ago New Haven had about the same. lead over Hart- ford and the baseball world knows fow Hartford won. History has been known to repeat. New London can- not afford to let up a little bit. Jones continues to do notable stickwork. In the last 21 games he has made 27 hits at an average of .380. He gained nine more points during the week. Dawson was a big improver with 21 points addition. * etrault and Noyes each gained a point, Toland put on four and Han- cock 16. The losers were: Flannery 21 points, Miller 19, Woodward 18, Bmith 6, Egan 19, Heath and Zeimer 1 each. The records: Jones .311, Anderson .333, Egan 303, Flannery .261, Zeimer .247, Tet- yault .245, Dawson .228, Noves .226, Heath .216, Miller .200, Wilson .192, Toland .181, Hancock .179, Smith 161, Woodward .111. Individual Batting. Wars and rumors of wars seem to have Influenced the batters to try and mobilizé their forces for u -joint at- tack upon the curve-Servians—no, the curve servers—this war business gets one mixed. Anyhow, there were more recruits than wounded in the stickers’ army, and the roll call today shows a fair length. A couple of hurlérs of brief response to duty call, helped out this time. General Fohl is still the star, and he actually put on another point to emphasize his right to command. Little Jones of New Britain boosted his hit business and so did Mike Keliher of Hartford, who came back to the colors after an absence of three weeks in the wounded ranks. Smith of Water- bury still leads in totals at 92. He ought to hit the 100 this week. Becker of New London, not in the fast class yet, is second with 90 and Pepe of New Haven is third with 89. It may be well to tell of some bat- ting stunt of late among those just readyv to break into the ranks. Jack Hoey, he of veteran service, compiled 33 safe hits in the last 19 games, at an average of .425. He pushed his rating up from .249 to .294. But Williams of Waterbury made the big- gest leap with 33 hits in 24 games at a pace of .394 and a gain in per cent. from .195 to .265 or 72 points. Big batting business, that. Becker of New London presented 23 hits in 17 games at the rate of .343. This sort of thing does not look as though the hurlers had it all their own way. Here are the leaders of the .300 class: Barberich, N. cene S5l Anderson, N. Smith, W... Jones, N. B Marhefka, N. Spencer, N. L. Pepe, Egan, N. B........ Keliher, H......... L Team Batting. Now while the individuals here and there have been handing jolts to the men of the mound, the teams as a { whole have sadly retreated. skies and soft grounds have helped the knights of the kopjes. Even New London dropped four points and Bridgeport was in the same boat. New Haven had a terrific slump, giv- ing up six points. with three, Pittsfield with New Britain with one. the only one to gain, getting five points on. ‘Waterbury stood still and held the lead.

Fielding went down with the bat- ting in these days of world excite- ment and dreary skies. Hartford was the only team to improve, and that to the extent of but a point. New London lost a point, while New Haven dropped four points, showing ‘(lamnrnlization for the time being. { The others made no change.
