Last year he made quite a record for himself in the Federal league. His showing was so good that Joe Tinker, manager of the Cubs, be- lieved the great heaver had a season or two more of usefulness left signed him up for the 1916 season. Brown claims his arm is as strong as ever, but he is beginning to tire of traveling around the country and will hang up his baseball shoes at the end of the present campaign. Brown is one of the greatest pitchers the game ever developed. .348 .300 Baseball News In a Nutshell NATIONAL: LEAGUE. Hartford Bridgepo; Yesterday’s Results. L 5 Philadelphia 4, New York. 2.

The New Britain High school base- ball team faces the crucial contest of season tomorrow afternoon at Walnut Hill park, when the fast New Haven nine, will stack up against Captain Kiniry's boys, in the game which is highly important to the home lads. Should New Britain win this contest, a triple tie will exist in the Triangn- lar league, each of the representa- tives having lost to each other. The largest crowd of the season ex- pected to be in attendance. With the decisive walloping ad- ministered to Hartford High Memor- ial Day, renewed vigor has entered into the ranks of the locals, who will enter tomorrow’'s fray confident that the Elm City boys will receive the same treatment accorded the Capitol City team. New Britain forced {he New Haven team to top speed three weeks ago, and there has been considerable improvement in their work since then. Anderson the big hurler of visitors is regarded as one of areatest school boy hurlers in ‘ection. Last Saturday he held Hartford team hitless, scoring shut out. Against him will be pitted Dudack, who is himself no slouch at he art of flinging the apple, and vith hoth boys at ‘attle should ensue One of the weaknesses that has existed in the local ranks has been the catching position, filled by Harold Byett. Called in from the outfield to fill the vacancy caused by Conl S flunking, Byett was placed in a dif- ficult position, but with the earnest attention paid to coaching, Byett has developed into a star. In the game against Hartford this week his work stood out prominently, playing game that was all that could be asked for.
