DANNY FRUSH MAKES CLAIM TO TITLE HELD BY JOHNNY KILBANE, ALLEGING THAT HE WAS FOU NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1vzi.

IS ANNOUNCED—BENJAMIN AFTER BOUT WiTH YOUNG HERCULES e ND IN THIRD GAME WITH MANCHESTER Contest Saturday at Bristol May Decide Series The battle scheduled for Muzzy field, Dristol, this Saturday, be- tween Manchester and New Departure important dlamond 5 In many ways the most game of the whole series This important series between these bitter rivais is to declde to the sat- isfaction of the fans, supposedly which his the superior team. Tt team to win three out of five sh take the series and up to date Departure has won two.

The score: gave r h 001 031 000—5 15 Boston . .. 100 000 000—1 5 Caldwell, Morton and O'Neill; Jones and Walters. e Cleveland 0 Senators Take Two Hyman will be used in this last at- tempt to break the winning streak of the New Departure boys. Hyman did not show up any too well in the first game, because of his wildness. Al- though his delivery only allowed five hits, he was wild at frequent inter- passing six men and hitting two. But as a general rule he is considered @ better pitcher than Johnson and it seoms likely that he will get the job of subduing New Departure. What makes the series so interest- ing to fans all over the state is not only the bitter rivalry, but also the fact that although New Departure has beaten Manchester three times this season each game has been taken by & slim margin of one run; the score for all three games played being 2-1. From that it may well be judged that it would take but very little to have the next game go to Manchester. The Bristol fans have a very strong answer when they compare the de- tailed accomplishments of each team. Although it is true that New Depar- fure has so far been able to top Man- chester by only one run, the Bristol boys outhit their rivals 8 to 3 last ‘Sunday and had left on bases a total of 10 men to their three. From this 4. may be figured that Manchester was lucky not to have been beaten by more. Considering the first game of the series, while ecach team got five hits, New Departure had nine loft on bases inst six for Manchester. But even the most rabid rooter must admit that there could not be & closer weries played off, If every play was staged for thie movies. It i predicted that even this Saturday's game will not be decided until the last ball is caught. OUIMET ELIMINATED Franpcis Beasted by Harrison “Jimmy" Johuston on St. Louls Country Club Links, $t.

TAKES FALL OUT OF HARTFORD Squad Resorts to Indoor Training Painted Dummy is Object of Evcning’s Attack Inclement weather made it neces- sary for the High school squad to con- fine itself to indoor training last night. The lads did no more than through their sets of signals. Coach George Cassidy has secured a tackling dummy and the boys try their tackling stunts nightly. About 40 of the candi- dates have hurled themselves at the manikin in turn and defects in their mode of tackling were righted by the coach. For effect, and run according to tha coach it surely has effect, the word “Hartford” has been painted across the dummy’s chest. Since this change was made in the appearance of the tackling apparatus the coaches report that the boys have been hitting it with a vengeance. Tonight and tomorrow evening’ practice sessions will be the last for the squad before it takes the field in the initial contest against the Alumni Saturday. The game will be played at 3 o'clock on St. Mary's grounds. BUFF WILL WEIGH 118 Flyweight Champ Will go Into Ring Friday Night Two Pounds Lighter Than His Opponent.

GIANTS WIN AGAIN Gathamités Victorious in Last Game of Series Chicago, Sept. 22.—A parade of pitchers and a battle of bats enlivened the lawn fete held vesterday after- noon at the North Side baseball park in celebration of the farewell meeting of the Giants and Cubs. As the two arrays said adieu to each other until springtime, they didn’t exactly say it with flowers. They said it chiefly with tacir faithful blackjacks. The Giants cerged victorious from the turbu- lent tussle by the score of 9 to 7, and suined thereby a full game on the f1ailing Pirates with the valued aid of certain parties from the Borough of Brooklyn. Pitchers were consumed like shav- 1gs in a roaring fire of hits almost from start to finish of the contest. A quartet of twirlers performed for each team, and if any rooter failed to see his favorite pitcher in action i: was because he failed to call for him loudly enough. Nehf, Douglas, Shea and Toney occupied the box for the invaders, the two first named being driven into retirement. The New Yorkers bombed Martin and Jones from tht mound, and made life un- pleasant for Freeman and Pondre in addition. The score: New York ........112010040—9 Chicago e000..011010400—7 Batteries: Nehf, Douglas, Shea, Toney and Smith and Snyder; Martin, Freeman, Jones, Pondre and O'Farrell.

The score: Boston .. .51 St. Louis ..... .400020000—6 Batteries: Watson and O’'Neill; Walker, Bailey, North and Sherdel and Ainsmith and Clemons. 0001—7 Pittsburgh Bested. Pittsburgh, Sept. 22.—Pittsburgh’'s smoke screen has been made vastly tnicker by a heavy veil of gloom that has settled on this bustling business community. The fans of this city, whie admiiting that the chances of the Pirates overhauling the Giants and rexing the National League p-unant were slim, nevertheless have been clincing to a straggling hope. i>ut even that was buried here yester- day afternoon, when the Brooklyn Dodgers won an abbreviated game fiom the locals by a score of 2 to 0.
