NEW BRITAI* DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 1914, Latest, Best and Most Accurate Sporting News of the Day. Won’t Jump to German Army RANGERS SUPERIOR Or Feds; He’ll Stick to Cubs NEW LONDON PROVED LOCALS' DOWNEALL Jones May Yet Be lsfiding Swal- " ter, Says Challenger. Bridgeport, Aug. 10.—"New Britain had too much New London during the week and the showing did not make the boys happy,” says Sid Challenger, the league scorer. The Skis do not display Belgic courage when they face the Cork -Dutchmen from Plantville. They made a valiant try on Saturday, but Geperal McCann never lets up a minute when he thinks a win is ahead. Then, too, New Britain ran up against Hartford just as that combination of fast fading champions had it in mind to start a Dan O'Neil spurt. The out- €ome of these assaults was disastrous to improved rating and the record for the week was but a single win to seven on the wrong side. Hartford Was Big Smoke. Hartford was the big smoke on the winning side during the week. Tt displayed a record of five wins out of six games-played. New London won five out of seven, Springfield four out of six and New Haven three out of five, New Haven, reorganized in part, sprung- an ‘unpleasant surprise upon the Bay State clubs. Bridge- port and - Waterbury, would-be con- tenders with New London, fell off badly with only three wins out of eight games played. Pittsfield di- vided eight games, which was weak considering the play was mainly at home. Scinski Has Sand. You have got to hand it to Manager Scinski for sand. He could have helped his pocket a good bit by trans- ferring those Saturday meetings to New London. But he is in to play his string at home, win or lose, and that is refreshing in these days of commercial Johnsonianism in base- ball, New Britain ought to back him it for nothing else. Jones Gains Ten Points. Jones continues to do some fine stickwork, as the figures given below disclose. He may yet lead the league #£ he can keep up his most recent gait. Most of the team improved .averages. Jones gained ten points, Heath twelve, Smith eleven, Wood- ward seventeen, Dawson four, Novyes, Zeimer and Hancock three each, Petrault two, Egan lost sixteen and ropped out of the first class for the first time. - Flannery dropped forty- | otle, Miller ten, Wilson ten and Toland ge. The records: “Jones .321, Egan .287, Zeimer .250, Metrault .247, Dawson .238," Noyes 229, Heath .228, Flannery .220, Mil- ler .190, Wilson .182, Hancock 182 Toland .180, Smith .172, Wood- ward .128. Individual Batting. ¢ That .300 list has become so de- pleted by the powerful assaults of the hing artillery that it has been found advisable to mobilize the .290 yeserves for service in showing the stick attack. Even with the addition of this corps the swatters’ army is not impressive. Too many fell in the trenches around home plate fort. Even the great Fohl, who has been defying everything for weeks, suf- fered a serious wound this week, Josing eighteen points. There are but fie .300 men and only five .290s. The ,280 brigade is more extensive. It also contains many who are making guccessful advances upon the hurlers. Of the .300 men Jones of New Brit- gin is the best performer with a gain of ten points. Smith of Waterbury is gtill the leader in safe shots with 104. He hit the century mark last Wednes- day, the first in the league to do it. Hallman of Bridgeport rushed up with a contribution of enough to make 95. Speaking of Hallman is a reminder that the veterans are doing some clouting these days. Hallman in his last 26 games made 39 safe hits at a pace of .412. Jack Hoey made 41 hits in 27 games at an average of .363. Phillips of Pittsfield showed 31 hits in 23 games at a figure of .365, wrhile Jones of New Britain delivered 89 hits in 29 games on the percent- msge of .386. Pretty good clouting for the old boys. Here are the ten lead- ers: Fohl, W. Smith, W, Jones, N. B. «. Marhefka, N. L. . Pepe, N. H. . Hallman, B. w. Somerlot, P. Ahearn, N. L. . Wolfe, P. w...

While the batters get much glory, but little is said of the chaps who go game after game without a blunder, and at the same time are cowering all sorts of ground. Listen to the tale of the princes in their positions. Hildebrand of New London with a run of twenty-eight games i{s premier of the receivers. Troy of Pittsfield has vet to err, going thirty games as hurler. Ens of Bridgeport traveled thirty-four straight at first base be- fore he blundered. Hammond of Springfield went thirteen straight among the second sackers. Boultes of Bridgeport has gone forty straight, a wonderful record in any league for third baseman, It is all the more re- markable because of the cares of manager and captain go with his posi- tion. It breaks all league records. Zeimer of New Britain shows four- teen straight at shortstop. In the outfield Briggs of New London went sixty-three straight in the left garden, Barr of New Haven thirty-four in the center and Hallman of Bridgeport fifty-five in right, You would have some ball team right in this collec- tion, Errorless Games. New L.ondon leads in errorless games with twenty-two, and Bridge- port is second with nineteen. Others show: Springfield fourteen, New Ha- ven thirteen, New Britain twelve, Pittsfleld eleven, Hartford ten, Wa- terbury eight. The total is 109 and it is behind that of last year. Shutout Games. New Britain has caught the white- wash brush seventeen times. Hart- ford has been dosed ten, Bridgeport, Springfield and Pittsfleld nine each, New Haven eight, New London six and Waterbury only two. The league total is seventy and New London hurlers have administered no less than nineteen of them, more than, one-fourth, FEDERAL LEAGUE. Yesterday’s Results.

Johnson, at third for the Rangers, played a star game, while Hogan, at short for the Annex fielded his position in fine style. The Rangers secured eleven hits off lanchette, but reckless base running cost them a couple of runs in the first inning. Sanberg made a one handed stab and shut off a sure two bagger in the seventh and Berry also pulled a hot one down in the ninth, after a long run.

The victory was doubly sweet for the Poli men as they were trounced here a few weeks ago. The Poli pitcher allowed but four hits while Ahern was touched for eight.
