UNIONVILLE BEATEN | BY CRACK PIONEERS “Lelty” Burns Hurls Brilliant Game, Locals Display Fine Form “Lefty’” Burns the elongated south- paw of Hartford won a name for him- self in the Pioneer hall of fame yes- férday afternoon, when through his superb hurling, the crack Unionville team was forced to bite the dust of defeat after one of the best played games witnessed on the East Ellis street diamond in several seasons. The score was 3 to 1, the victory of the home team being gained through mer- itg, derived by good baseball and back- ing up their new twirler in an almost faultless manner. The only bungle came in the seventh inning and was productive of the visitors lone tally, hade heaved a bad throw to IFitz allowing a Unionville batter to amble home with the tying tally. For several innings both teams foun the slants of the opposing twirler mystifying, and it was not un- til the third frame that “Billy” Du- datk cracked out a hit to the out- field. The visitors secured their first hit in the fifth frame. The Pioneers secured their first run in the fourth inning when Jimmy Noonan connect- ed with one of Cunningham’s offer- ings for a single. A poor throw by Hogarty gave him second base and he scored a moment later when Burns crpcked out a pretty single to left field. The visitors made it one and one in the seventh, when after one was out the visitors’ third baseman hit a fast one through the pitcher's box and reached second when Whitney drop- ped Noonan's throw to head him off. On an infield bounder which retired the next man up, Schade threw badly to Fitz and the runner reached home. The fireworks occurred in the next frame when a fusillade of hits greet- ed Mr. Cunningham. S. Dudack hit an infield single and Blinn followed SHUTOUT TWICE | Indians A\re Treated to Two Coats of Whitewyash by White Sox—Tigers \ rd Bob Groom. , May 29 —The White Sox uble header from Cleveland vesterday.y The score each time was 2 to 0.

ITHACA BOYS REPEAT Co 1I’s Victory Impressive One— lden Gate Boys Shine—Meredith Befits Time in To Events. Cambridge, Mass., May 29.—Cor- nell fwon the intercollegiate track | and field championship in the Har- vard stadium here Saturday afternoon for thie third consecutive vear, with one of| the most evenly balanced ath- letic combinations that Trainer Jack Moakley has uncovered in many sea- son’s./ The Ithaca university athletes suit, then Schade strutted to the plat- | pijeq iip a total of 45 points to Yale's ter. Picking out one to his liking 29, while the two Pacific coast univer- he rapped it to deep center £coring | gjties, Stanford- and California, tied Blinn and Dudack. A pretty catch by the Unionville centerfielder robbed . Dudack of a hit in this frame. With two down Bernie Coyle con- nected with as pretty a single as made during the day, but Umpire Kings- bury called it a foul. It was a pretty | raw decision and deprived the home lads of another tally. This ampire’s work has come in for considerable criticism so far this season, and if yesterday's work is a sample of what he serves up to the teams and. fans, the writer who witnessed the game elieves that the knocks are merited. Several brilliant plays brought ‘ap- | plause from the small gathering of fans on hand. In the first inning, “Nom"” Begley electrified the crowd by | a one-handed catch, that had the | earmarks of big league calibre. This | boy displays plenty of life around | the keystone sack. Billy Dudack in right field spared two healthy swats for third place with 22 points each, after |crossing the continent to give an exhibition of the type of col- legiate performer developed in the balmy atmosphere of their state. The ability of ther lithe limbed { youngsters from the other side of the continent is attested by the fact that with small squads, they outranked Pénnsylvania, which scored 18 points; Dartmouth with 14; Michigan with 13; Harvard with 11, and Princeton with 10. Bowdoin had 5; Syracuse 3; Penn State 2, and Masachusetts In- | stitute Technology 1. The victory of the Cornell team was far more impressive than a year ago when the Red and White ath- letes won by a score one-half point greater, for the field of entrants Sat- urday was the finest that has ever gathered to compete for I. C. A. A. A. | A. titles. So keen was the struggle | for points that two interscholastic labeled hits, and in the final stanza, | records and one world’s record were Schade knocked down a mile-a-minute | supplanted during the battles of grounder getting his man at first. It | was a pretty play. Jimmy Noonan | with two singles seems to have re- gained his gatting eve. Burns the new hurler showed up in fine form. He | has a pretty delivery and is very steady and looks like the best man the home boys have had on the mound in several seasons. The scores: Pioneers. 2oy Do. Fitzpatrick, 3b. . S. Dudack, If.

Minneapolis, Minn., May 29.—Sher- man Landers of Oregon, Ill, High school, broke the world's inter- scholastic record in the pole vault at the track and field meet Saturday of | the Northwestern Interscholastic As- | sociation by clearing the bar at 12 feet 8 1-4 inches. The former mark was speed upon the fast Harvard track. Captain J. E. (Ted) Meredith of the Pennsylvania team was the in- | dividual hero. The famous Olympic, national and intercollegiate champion, closed his track career as a collegian by winning the 440 yards dash in 47 2-5 seconds, which is a new world’s record around a turn. The previous time, made by M. W. (Maxey) Long at Travers Island, Y., September 1900, was 47 4-5 seconds. The | speed of the Quaker fiyer is shown by the fact that he was but 2-5 of a second behind Long’s record of 47 seconds flat for the same distance on a straightaway course. PIONERS LOSE FIRST Glastonbury Too Strong for Conlin’s Boys in Valley League Opener. Glastonbury, May 29.—The home team opened the Valley League sea- son Saturday by defeating the Pioneers of New Britain, 4 to 2, in a fast and well played game. Burk- | hardt’s pitching was too much for the | visitors, e holding them to five scattered hits and striking out four- teen men, besides not issuing a pass. Miles and Somers led at the bat, | each getting three hits, Miles' includ- ing a triple.

Toronto’s Protest Against Richmond Is Allowed by Barrow. | New York, May 29.—President Bar- | row of the International League an- | nounced Saturday that he had ordered | to be played over the second game of the double-header between the Richmond and Toronta clubs, which | Richmond won at Toronto, May 20. The league executive declared that it was illegal for the umpire on that occasion to allow the winning run to score on a foul tip on an attempted squeeze play, when the ball lodged under the catcher's chest protector and dropped to the ground a few second’s later. The game is to be played at Toronto, August 28. (FANGE IN VALLEY SCHEDULE | A change has been made in the Val- ley league schedule and the game | with Southington which was to be played here Memorial Day morn- ing will be played in the afternoon at the Ellis street grounds.

Restraining Order Effective Until Further Order of the Court. Indianapolis, Ind., May 29.—Sheriff Coffin announced Saturday afternoon that the Jack Dillon-Gunboat Smith prize fight, planned for tonight would not be permitted. This follow- ed the action of Judge Moll in mod- ifying, at the request of Prosecutor Fucker, the restraining order, making it effective until further order of the court, instead of expiring at 9 o’clock this morning. The prosecutor’s move was due to the fact that attorneys for the fight promoters had sought a change of venue for the hearing on the restrain- ing order, and it was feared the hear- ing could not be had in another county until after Memorial Day, which would have permitted the hold- ing of the fight. The fight was promoted as an at- traction for visitors in the city for the automobile race at the Indian- apolis Motor Speedway on the follow- ing day. The proseciitor obtained the resiraining ovder after receiving in- structions from Governor Ralston to stop the fight. CORNELL CREW WINS Princeton Forces Ithacans to Top Speed Through Full Distance. Ithaca, N. Y., May 29.—In the most thrilling race ever rowed on Cayuga lake the Cornell ’varsity eight defeated the oarsmen of Princeton by a scant three feet Saturday afternoon, with Yale a hopeless third, several lengths behind. The crews of Cornell and Princeton fought every inch of the way from starting line to finish over the two-mile course. The victory of the Ithacans was all the more spectacular because the crew which won was classed almost until the eve of the regatta as the third varsity. It took the place of the eight which was defeated the week be- fore by Harvard. At the quarter mile Princeton led by a narow margin, with Yale third. At the half mile the Ithacans and the Tigers ‘were on even terms, with Yale a length and a half behind. Prince- ton hit up the stroke and again led at the three quarter mile mark. FAFNIR TEAM WINS. In a hard fought game at Walnut Hill park Saturday afternoon the Faf- nir Bearing team, defeated the New Britain Machine company team by a score of 6 to 2. Stanley, who pitched for the winners, had the machine men well in hand, allowing them but four hits and they were shut out until the ninth. The game abounded in some sharp fielding plays by both teams. Welch played a fast game at short for the Fafnir team and also hit well. Scott led with the stick for the ma- chine team with two of the four hits. Chalmers relieved Voight in the ninth for the Machine company. The score: r he Fafnir Bearing ....00011004*—6 7 2 N. B. Machine .000000002—2 4 3 Batteries — Stanley and Mack; Voight, Chalmers ‘and O’Brien. HARTFORD HERE TOMORROW The New Britain High School base- ball team will play Hartford High on Memorial Day at Walnut Hill Park in the afternoon the game being called for 3 o'clock. The local team hopes to get back at their old rivals for the defeat they were given in Hartford a few weeks ago. It is likely that Dudack will be on the firing line for the home team. On next Saturday New Haven High will play in this city. Both of these games are in the triangle league series. TWO FOR SPARTAN The Spartan A. C., defeated the Vine street team in the fast game ot ball at Bannings field Saturday afternoon by the score of 8 to 7.
