It was his twentieth of tho season. The pitch- ing of Pat Shea. a youngster, who re- plaeced Toney in the box in the fourth fnning, featured.

The last pilgrim- age to the west began with a victory over the White Sax by a score of 11 to 3. The Yankees hit and fielded and did everything else pretty well once they warmed up to it. They stacked up against poor pitching, however. Ruth sent his forty-fiftth home run out of the enclosure, across lots and toward Lake Michigan.

NEW BRITAIN COPS ROUTED BY MERIDEN Silver City Team Just Toys With Locals Here Yesterday The New Britain baseball team sustained the most crushing defeat ot recent years yesterday afternoon, when the Meriden police team routed the locals to the tune of 18 to 1 at St. Mary'a playground. It was thq second meeting ol the season between the teams, and it was the second timga the Silver City team was returned vigtorious. To the victor belongs the spoils, but it must be added that the locala were the poorest yesterday they hava ever shown., On tha other hafid the Meriden team presented a lineup, that it is safe to venture will give any of the Connecticut polica teams a warm argument. ‘Wilcox a Star. At the initial sack, was found yes- terday, ‘a slender, mustachéd young man, answering the name of Wilcox. It was learned during the game that he is independently wealthy, and only plays the game for the sport there is in it. When it comes to playing, that bird sure is there ,outside of being able to hit, field and tun bases, he is not of much account as a ball player. Some of these so-called league play- ers might lock this worthy over some afternoon, and get a few points. That’s enough for Wilcox. Now the rest of the Meriden team from Bill Boldt down to “Spike’” Caroll, played the game of their lives yesterday. Meriden has been brooding over that double defeat of last year. They should feel relieved now. Errors Help Visitors. Various kinds of errors aided the visitors in so completely overwhelm- ing the locals. New Britain got nine hits off Baer’s delivery, but they were widely scattered. Of this number, Pete Cabelus contributed three two- baggers. Cabelus, with Feeney, Bloom and Kumm, were about the only local men who acted the part of players on the field. Feeney contributed a cir- cus catch in the fourth inning when he grahbbed Custy's drive in deep left field with three men on bases. Kumm also speared one after a long run, and Bloom pulled 'em down just like Tris Speaker in centerfield. Davy Muffs ’Em. It was a surprise to the assemblage to see “Long Dave” Moore muff a couple at first base. It was learned that Dave was playlng with a new glove, recently purchased in a rubber store, which accounts for the elastic manner in which tne ball bounced right out of the mitt. However, Dave did get some and each play was accom- panied by a cheer. ‘Wow, Whas a Start. The game was put on the well- known ice in the first inning when the Meriden team piled up 10 runs. In this inning Wilcox and Alex dent- ed the platter twice. The visitors al- most batted twice around. The works started when Wilcox reached first on an error by Rouskie. Alex then banged one.on the seam to right field which Kumm was just able to reach but muffed. Smedick was out on a fly to Bloom. Bill Boldt was ticketed to first. Custy was safe on a fielder’s choice, Wilcox registering. Kurcon was banged in the ribs and then Scharmer uncorked a two base clout. Carroll was safe on Veley’s error and Baer was hit by a pitched ball Things kept on this way, until it seemed as though the agony would never ccase. When the third out was finally registered, the New Britain crowd sighed with relief, while the Meriden rooters sang, “Ain’'t we got fun.” The first three men to face Baer in the first inning were retired by T7ilcox, unassisted. They Keep it Up. Kurcon opened the second inning by reaching first when Moore han- dled his tap as though he was play- ng put and take Scharmer died by the whiff route. Carroll was hit by a pitched ball. Baer greeted Cabelus on his second trip to the plate, with a single to right field, sending in two runs. He sped along to second on the throw to the plate. Wilcox was safe on Moore's second bobble in the in- ning. Two more runs were put across when Alex and Boldt contributed hits. One For Weak Side. The lone New Britain tally was scored in the second inning, by Ca- belus. After Sergeant Hart had gone out on a fly to Kurcon, Cabby smash- ed a two bagger, his first of a trio. As he darted for third base, Boldt heaved the ball into left field and the tally was made averting a shut out, which is about the only thing the lo- cals did avert in the game. Getting Hungry. With a good safe lead, and the game without a doubt in the bag, the | Meridenites put on steam in retiring the locals and themsalves with work.

Ahe Meriden fans may have left here with a rather light opinion of the local team, but is safe to say, that the committee arranging the banquet, got some praise. It was a swell “feed’’ in which about 300 participated. The committee arranged an enter- tainmert, which consisted of piano selections, by ex-Private John J. Crean, A. E. F, James Sullivan, Ur- ban Callahan and Frankie Clynes, the local tennis star. ,Policeman John Kennedy gave several dancing num- bers that pleased. “Dan’’ Richardson, Mat Rival, Her- bie Lyon and Charlie Johnson, aided in the program, to,the extent that a good time was had by all.

BRITISH GOLFERS LOSE. Boston, Mass., Aug. 18.—After finding the going against American professional combinations and also pro and amateur pairs comparatively easy, Mitchell and Duncan, the visit- ing British professionals, found their path blocked in their first engage- ment in the Boston district at the Country Club of Brooklyn yesterday.

EGAN TO COME BACK. Formecr Amateur Golf Champion tc Play at St. Louis. Chicago, Aug. 18.—H. Chandler Egan, twice amateur golf champion and four times winner of the west- ern title, is planning to try for the anateur crown again at St. Louis next month, according to a letter received from him by National Champ. Chick rvans. Egan, who removed to Ore- gon several years ago, has not taken part in national chapionships since going west. Egan wrote that he intended to bring eight coast golfers east with hin to compete in team matches, if they could be arranged before the national amateur meet at the St. Louis Coun- try club, beginning September 17 This would be the first real invasion of coast golfers, who heretofore have Leen deterred by distance. Egan was the premier golfer for several years, his spectacular play un- der difficulties drawing immense gal- leries whenever he appeared on the Lnks. Playing from the Exmoor club, he won the national title in 1904 a' Ralusrol by defeating Fred Herreshot & and 6 and repeated the next year at the Chicago Golf ciub by downing D. E. Sawyer 6 and 5. He reached the finals again in 1909 at Onwentzia, but owing to an attack of indigestion lost to Robert A. Gardner 4 and 2 Ile won the western title more times than any other man except Evans. who now holds the crown for the sirth time. Egan won in 1903, 1904, 1905 and 1907, and was runner-up to his brother, Walter E. Egan, in 1903, losing on the 37th hole as Walter had done to him the ‘preceding year.
