FACTORY LEAGUE GAMES Stanley Will Tlave to Show His Wares Tomorrow—Buckle Makers Playing ‘Wonderful Ball—The Standing. At Walnut Hill park at 3 o’clock to- morrow the New Britain Machine company will play the Corbin Screw corporation. The Corbin Screw cor- poration, after getting a bad start, is rapidly gaining ground and playing better ball. The New Britain Machine company has struck thewr stride again and a good game is expected. “Jim’” Reilly will umpire. At St. Mary's playground, what promises to be one of the hardest fought battles of the year will take place, Saturday at 3:30, when the Faf- nir Bearing company, the league lead- ers will clash with North & Judd for championship honors A win for the “Anchor Brand” boys will mean a tie for the first place between two teams. North & Judd has been playing won- derful baseball. They have won three straight games and are on the road to make the fourth. The North & Judd team also lead in team batting. They have made forty-two hits in the last three games, an average of four team hits per game which is some clouting for a factory team considering the wonderful pitching that has been seen at the games this year. Stanley will be on the mound for the Fafnir nine and he will have to twirl wonderful ball to stop the slugging of the heavy- hitting North & Judd club. There is intense rivalry between these two teams and a good attendance is anti- cipated on this account. Larry Man- gan will umpire. The standing is as follows W. L.

Pawnees and Annex Clash Tomorrow in Game to Break Tie. Tomorrow promises to furnish some fireworks in the Hardware City league, when the triple tie now ex- isting between the Alpines, Pawnees and Annex will be broken. The sched- ule as arranged brings together the Pawnees and the Annex two of the best clubs in the league, and a battle royal should ensue. Both clubs ap- pear to be evenly matched and traveling at top speed at present. Some trouble has been experienced in the past in getting the first game started on time due to the slowness of the players to arrive at the park. It is the wish of the public amuse- ments commission that the teams scheduled to start at 2 o’clock, should be on hand before that time, have their usual practice and be ready to start when the ump calls, “Play Ball.” The Alpines will meet the Rangers.

Federal Judge Landis, who occu- pied the baseball spotlight because the Federal league suit to have or- ganized baseball declared a trust was argued before him, belicves that the umpires have too much authority. Judge ILandis spoke recently at a banquet of the members of the Chi- cago Assosclation of Commerce on “Baseball.” During his remarks Judge Landis said: “This one-man power stuff riles me. If I had their power it would intox- icate me. “The players figure in the hotel dining rooms what they're going to do and then fall down when they get on the field. That thing which makes the game is lacking this year—pep and brain work.” PIONEER'S SCHEDULE. Leaguers Coming To- morrow—Wallingford Here Sunday. Glastonbur What promises to be the big at- traction in New Britain in the line of baseball, will take place Saturday af- ternoon when the strong Glastonbury team of the Valley league will meat the Pioneers in league game. This being Glastonbury’s first appearance on the Pioneer's field and*at the rate the “Soap town” boy e going should prove an interesting game. The Pioneers have several new men who will appear in their lineup, and should give Glastonbury a hard game. For Sunday’s attraction Manager Conlin has booked the strong Wal- lingford team of the State league. This team needs no introduction in New Britain and the fans will no doubt see a fast game Sunday. Sat- urday’s game will start at 3 o’clock. FINED FOR HITTING UMP. Mich., July 28.

MAY RECALL JAKE New Britain Boy by Stellar Work Has Bridgeport Earned Right to Return to Major League. New York, July 28.—Wad Killifer, the Giant who never wore a York uniform, leased to the Louisville club American association. It nounced that Killifer's into a Colonel was accomplished on a strictly cash basis, but it would cause no surprise if in a few days of- 1 announcement were made of the acquisition by the Giants of Pitcher Middleton of Louisville. Killifer came to the Glants in the deal that brought Charley Herzog. It was expected that John McGraw would hold on to the elder brother of Catcher Bill of the Phillles, to take the place of Eddie Roush as utility outfielder and pinch hitter. Bvidently McGraw is counting on George Kelly, or somebody else as first understudy to Burns, Kauff and Robertson. Pos- sibly Merwin Jacobson is due for re- call from Rochester. Jacobson has been playing a fine game in the field and has been hit- ting better than .300 all season. He is about the only likely subject for recall among all the hands farmed out by McGraw last spring. Ralph Sherman, sent to Memphis, has been demoted to Galveston while Chick Farrell, who went to Rochester, gone to Utica.
