The ending of a disastrous season for the New Britain High school is nearing and with but two more games on the schedule, the boys are hopeful that some glory may be annexed through the coming encounters. On next Saturday the arch rival of the locals, Hartford High will come here for a battle on the Walnut Hill dia- nmiond. Barly in the season, the lo- cals met their Capitol city rivals with disastrous resuits, but with the same never-say-die spirit of the hoys from the Franklin Square institution, the locals are going to come right back Saturday and try and avenge for that walloping. Ward the star hurler who was relegated to the bench through the ruling of the fac- ulty congerning students below a .:r- tain study percentage, has made up the deficit and wjll probably ascend the mound in theé Saturday game. The curtain will be drawn for the team Thursday, June 14, when New Haven will be the attraction in this The Elm ecity boys have a very classy aggregation this geason, and the home city. ! boys will be forced to put on full steam if victory is to crown their: last game, TO PLAY PENNY GOLF. Women Players in Chicago Devise Novel Method for Red Cross Aid. Chicago, June 6.—The women ph.y-‘ ers of the Western Golf association have hit upon a novel way of “doing their bit.” In the last week of June ‘every member will take part in a tournament held by each of the clubs belonging to the association, and for every shot taken during a round of the course, the players will contribute one cent towards the Red Cross fund. ‘When the final putt has been sunk the women expect to have sufficient money to. purchase several ambu- REDS STAGE RALLY AND DEFEAT GIANTS Kaoii and Burns Aid Matty's Men in Ninth Inning Cincinnati, June 6.—After the Giants had launched a belated rally in .the sixth inning, tied the score with two runs, then jumped in front by scoring a run in the ninth, the game yesterday went to the Reds when Kauff and Burns acted as though Matty had paved his outfield with banana peels. The Reds opened the series with a surprising victory when easy outfleld flies fell for doubles in the ninth. inning. The score was 6 to 5. Ferdie Schupp took one of his hardest ‘lambastings of the season, but his-string of victories was not severed. - George Smith, the Colum- bia boy, went in with the Giants be- hind, and the game was tied up for him, only to be tossed away. z ‘With the score a tie at 4 and 4 in the ninth, Herzog beat a slow bound- er to Kopf after two were out. Her- zog stole second and went to thira when Robertson hit an infield single to Groh. Zimmerman placed New York ahead when he singled to cen- ter, scoring Herzog. Fletcher then forced Zimm. The burghers yawned and decided to sit out their daily trimming, but Shean evoked a little hope when he singled to left. Then the Giants’ skidding started. Kauff slipped in the mud and fell, and Mitchell’s easy fly fell over his head for a double, Shean taking third. Groh sent a drive to left. Burns first misjudged it, and/ then he too, sprawled on the wet turf and the ball went over his head for a double. Shean and Mit- chell scoring the winning runs.

FRAZEE PLAYS SAFE Red Sox Owner Protects His Interests .'. Stormy Saturday’s and Holidays. ‘When Harry H. Frazee last winter purchased a half interest in the Bos- ton Red Sox and a statement pur- porting to have come from him was printed in the newspapers that at the close. of the 1917 season the champs would make a tour of Brasil and other South American countries, it was feared that Mr. Frazee had in- troduced the theatrical into baseball and was in line for a gentle repri- mand bv Ban Johnson. The touring stunt was only a pipe dream as it turned out, but instead Mr. Frazee has introduced certain business principles into baseball that are certain to be copied. It has been learned that Frasee has just closed with Lloyds on a big in- surance proposition, which guarantees the management of the Red Sox s revenue of at least $10,000 a day for 12 Saturday and three holiday play- ing dates in Boston this season. Frazee has agrved to pay a prem- ium of $15,000 for insurance amount- ing to $150,000. This insurance cov- ers. possible loss by raidi of big crowds at the Red Sox ball park dur- ing the 12 Saturdays and three holl- days which remain on the home schedule. If the weather should be fair and every one of these games be played Frazee will be out $15,000. If, on the other hand, it should happen to- rain on two of these days he would collect $20,000 frem Lloyds and make money. Frazee says the other magnates will come to this before many years hgve elapsed. He is popular with the players and also an ardent fan. Un- like his'predecessor, Joe Lannin, the new owner is not a hard loser.- He has unbounded confidence in the Red Sox to win the pennant again and has already invited his friends to come to Boston next October for the v:orld‘s séries.
