LOCAL TEAM SUFFERS | BAD BATTING SLUMP But Jos Stil Contiues i Gove : eted 300 Cass. Bridgeport, Aug. 17.—New Britain had all sorts of trouble last week. | Manager Scinski has had tough luck and New Britain fans ought to give | him & helping hand. This was a bad year for baseball all along the line |and the circumstances under which the New Britain franchise was ac- quired made it all the harder for Scinski to land a winner. But he ought to have one more chance, any way. He now knows what a league team needs. A little help from a bunch of fans would make the way fairly easy for the rest of the sea- son, says Sid Challenger. Wins Two, Loses Seven. During the past week the team could win but two out of seven games. | It struck a bad batting slump. Mean- : while, New London kept up the pen- nant pace by taking five games out of seven. Waterbury started a regular Boston National spurt, but could not| hold the pace toward the end of the | week and the record was five wins | and thrée defeats. Bridgeport and Hartford won four out of seven games played. Springfield started poorly but finished up strongly, ! winning five out of cight. New| !Haven made an even break of it in ielght games. If there 'is any com- {fort in knowing that some one is| worse off than you are then New | ! Britain can have it. Pittsfield winning | but one game out of eight. | Jones Falls Down. Every man on the team but Zeimer and Woodward lost points in batting | and the whole team had to give up| five. Jones had his worst week of | the season. He dropped 17 points| and all but fell out of the .300 ranks. Dawson gave up nine points, Tetrault { i eight, Toland six, Noves six, Wilson six, Egan four, Hancock three and ! Heath one. Zeimer gained nine | points, Woodward added two. Crook’s record includes his games with Pitts- fleld and Hartford. The averages: Jones .304, BEgan .283, Zeimer .259, | Tetrault .239, Heath 27, Dawson *| .228, Noyves .223, Crook .200, Hancock {.179, Wilson .176, Smith .172, Toland |.174, Woodward .137. Individual Batting. The introduction of a new rule of ! rating last week had some effect on Led by Joe Phillips of Pittsfield they made a flank movement on the hurlers and gained much advantage. Strange to | say the .290 class did not prosper. Some left it for more advanced i rank, others found the pace too fast, | but you have got to hand it to Phillips ! for a stiff batting performance. The veteran put on twelve hits for the week and advanced - into the .300| class. He was hitting about .230 for. | the first half of the season, when he | started a climb by degrees that has placed him at .307. In the last 36 games Phillips knocked out 49 safe wallops at a .377 clip, the best stick- ing in the league for the past five weeks. Smith of Waterbury left his mark as he goes to conquer other diamonds. He was good for thirteen hits during the week and for 26 hits in his last sixteen games at an aver-,; age of .406. His total contribution in the hit line is 117, with a grand total of 194. He is the hardest hit- ter the league has seen in many a yvear, reminding the old boys of Dan Murphy. He has already broken the two-base hit record for the num- ber of games. played. If he finished out the season at his present clip he would have a total average higher than any man since the palmy days of Foster and Murphy. Barney of Hartford deserves no- tice. In his last fifteen games he drove out twenty-six safe hits at a 440 average. He got in a four, a couple of threes and five twos, and missed getting one hit in only a single game. Fohl ig still the leader, but Smith was after him. The two are well ahead of all the rest. The lead- ers: Fohl, W. Smith, W, Phillips, P. Marhefka, N. L Angermier, N. L. Pepe, N. H. Quinn, N. T.. Barney, H. Wolte, P. . Hallman, B. Team Batting. There was not much in the way of changes in team batting business. Pittsfleld was a gainer by three points and at that had the poorest winning record of the week. Water- bury, New London, New Haven and Hartford each gained a point. Now! Britain had a very weak week, wiping out five points from an already low mark. Bridgeport and Springfield stood still. New London still leads in runs. Waterbury has succeeded in passing Bridgeport.
