PLAYING BY LIEBOLD BRINGS DEFEAT TO WHITE SOX—PIONEERS WIN OPENING GAME OF SUNDAY SEASON FROM PRATT & WHITNEY TEAM WACHINE GUNNERS LOSE TO PIONEERS, Benny Lynch Proves An Enigma {0 Soldiers From Camp Devens For four innings Playgrounds Saturday afternoon the game between the Pioneers of this city and the 302nd Machine Gun Bat- talion, Co. D nine was very interest- ing, the score standing 2 to 2, and then a cessation of hostilities was called while two aatomobiles were auctioned off. When the play was re- sumed, the visitors started in to play raggedly with the result that the home boys encountéred little difficulty winning, score 8 to 3. With Stanley on the mound for the Devens boys it looked at the outset that the contest might be warmly waged, but owing to o weakness behind the bat besides several glaring errors in the fleld, the fine work of the former Wesleyan and local Factory league was greatly marred. Thoma, who started the game be- hind the bat was forced to retire in the fourth inning with a split finger, | he was succeeded by Breen. For the visitors Stanley, Scharff and Blinn played good ball. The hurler caused fourteen of the Pioneers to hit the ozone and he issued but one free transportation and hit one batsman. | Benny Lynch the star portsider for the locals was equally good, whiffing thirteen swatters, and sent but two men to the initial sack by the free route. Johnny Scharff led his mates with the bat, getting three hits, two of which were two-sack clouts. Howie Blinn had the distinction of making the first hit of the game. Eddle Goeb led the Pioneers at the | bat, getting three safeties, on of | which was a home run, due to fast | work on the paths, The visitdrs guestioned the decision of Larry Mangan, but those close to the plate agreed with the ump. There was a fine crowd in attendance. With Mayor Quigley acting as auc- tioneer, two automobiles belonging to H. C. Noble were auctioned off, half of the proceeds to go to the Red Cross and the remainder to the Liberty Loan. The buyers were Mrs. J. B. Poyer, who purchased a Cadillac limousine for $650 and Maurice Stan- .lev, who bought a Peerless touring car for $700.

NEW YORK TEAMS ENJOY A FINE WEEK Giants, Yanks and Robins Grab 0 Many Victories New York, teams 6.—The through a three highly May went week in the six days end- the Dodgers won 12 games and lost only two. It probably will be some time hefore Pop Knick- erbocker”, ing last Saturday. Among them, seball representatiy The thefr as well, Giants made a of five games in Phila- delphia and Boston, the Yankees won three out of four games played with the Athletics and Red Sox, and the Dodgers won four out of five games played with Boston and Philadelphia. The work of the Yankees last week was very gratifying. The team work better than the previous week and the pitching also was greatly im- proved, due to the two splendid games twirled by the seven-foot lefthander | Love. Huggins did not attempt to use Caldwell and got along just as well, little manager for a time be- lieved that the only way to bring Caldwell around was to have him work the soreness out of his arm in actual competition, but this was a rather unsatisfactory method, inas- much as all three games started by Caldwell had been lost.

Not much had been expected of Love, but he has proved the ar His recent effectiveness him the confidence he Tove's Work should give needed. The Yanks did not hit as hard last week as in the previous week, but that was due to the caliber of the pitching which the team faced three men defeated last week were Gregg, Bush and Ruth. each of whom, in baséball vernacular, is a “very tough baby." The Boston Red Sox look strong, despite their two defeats on the Polo | Grounds. While Stuffy McInnis is not the star at third that he was on first, he is playing the bag in pretty nifty ‘style.

The Western American teams are not showing up very im- pressively; at les they don’t look very good from this side of the Alle- ghany Mountains. Despite the fact that Cleveland has been badly bunged up and is playing Joe Wood in left, and Halt, a mediocre player when he was with the Brookfeds, at third, the Indians are winning most of the games, The White Sox are winning whenever Williams, the little left- hander pitches, but so far neither Ci- cotte nor Faber have am thing. Detroit pitching leagua shown continues to suffer from weakness, while and Heilman, who were laid up for some time, have not yet hit their stride. The Browns again be in for a disappointing season, The Giants still are making mon- keys out of the National league and continue to do so. As heavier drafts will levied on eligible men in Class 1, clubs like the Cubs, Reds and Phillies will be weakened more and . more, while tho G with their team of married veterans, will remain untouched. About the only real valuable man the Giants are likely to lose will be Kauff. Young will not be 21 until after the season is over, Fourteen out of 15 victories tells a story in itself, but one must analyze those victories to see how New York is standing the rest of the league on its head. Last week, in scoring five victories over Philadelphia and Bos- ton, the Giants piled up 36 rups against two of their opponents Not only does the Giant team stand head and shoulders over the st of the league in offense, but the team's pitching staff also is by far the best in the league, The Cubs are the only National league, but their bauble will likely burst, just like that of the Phillies. The Mitchellmen have heen beating the Western teams regularly, and the opposition out there scems much stronger than what the Giants have been picking on in the Rast. Dodgers Come to Life. The Phillies were not permitted to suffer long.
