WOOLEY AND NEVILLE TO WEAR NUTMEG COLORS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT VIBBERTS’ LOT, WHEN LOCALS COME THROUGH WITH ANOTHER WIN—PITTSBURGH BREAKS EVEN IN DOUBLE HEADER—HIGH SCHOOL LINE-UP FOR TOMORROW IS ANNO INENDEE SERIES, Third Game With Manchester Will Be Played Sunday Judging by the unusually large de- mand for reserved seats in advance of the contest, the crowds at Saturday's game at Muzzy fleld will even exceed Iast Sunday's record. Being the third game of the big series between the rival towns, it may decide the winner. New Departure has won the first two with the victory to go to the first team to win three games. This time Manchester asked for & large block of reserved seats to in- sure their supporters having seats in the big arena. Those placed on sale at the employment department of the New Departure were snapped up in a single day, and the Corner Shoppe re- ports a big demand for the limited number which they have been allowed The game on Saturday wi'l be made & part of the outing and entertain- ment of the Endee club, who will march to the Page grounds for their annial barbecue, accompanied by the OPPOSE RAMBLER-TI GERS — YANKEES NCED B ) PETE HERMAN WILL DEFEND HIS TITLE New Orleans Bantamweight to Battle With Johnny Buff in New York Tonight New York, Sept. 23—Pete Herman of New Orleans world's bantamweight cnampion boxer defends his title to- night in a 15 round bout to a decision with Johnny Buff, American flyweight champion. Herman announced today that he was at the required weight 118 pounds, while Buff has built himself up to 116, Last Docember the New Orleans boy lost his title on a decision to Joe Lynch of New York in a 15 round bout here. He regained the title recently by a decision over Lynch in a 15 round contest in Brooklyn. The flyweight title holder is older and bas participated in more bouts than Herman and has won many of them by knockouts. In his last bout he knocked out Indian Russell a Pennsylvania boxer. Both Herman and Buff have won decisions over Charley Ledoux the French bantamweight champion in the last six rounds. Herman won the bantamweight title from “Kid" Willlams of Baltimore in round decision bout at New Or- in 1917 Three eight round bouts will precede New Departure band. After the feast the club, which is composed of New Departure toremen executives and first line men, will attend the game in a body, having made careful arrange- ments for their seats in advance. The New Departure bascball team will al- #0 be guests at the barbecue, although they will be carefully guarded to see that they do not over eat Thus fortified by an excecllent din- ner, the New Departure team will at- tempt to make it three straight in the series and end the agony for Man- chester, who, much distressed over the phenomenal “luck” of Eddie Good- ridge and his pill tossers, have been skinning their knuckles trying to ham- mer down the New Departure’s stone- wall defense. Bristol fans are hoping that Sammy Hyman will be selected to pitch this gamo, to determine whether he is really as good as he has been crac ked up to be by Manchester. The first game of the series did not bear out this contention, but possibly he had an oft day. Eddie Goodridge will undoubtedly work again for the home club, and his heaving is always a treat. The first game he allowed Manchester just five hits; the second- game only three, showin_ that instead of the Silk City's pets getting on to his curves, he has been steadily learning things about their much-renowned sluggers. It was treely advertised before the series that the whole Manchester team was batting between three and four hun- dred, but they have not shown this speed since. The New Departire team considers that they have been in a hitting slump during the past few weeks, but the fans are certainly satisfied with the results. The change in the batting order last Sunday evidently worked well. Those who were pushed down the list, immediately started to clout the pill in real earnest, and it looks as though they had all hit their stride again. BOWLING R & E. FOREMEN LEAGUE. Mickory Nuts. .

T0 PLAY IN BRISTOL Winsted and New Departure to Decide Their Series on Sunday, on Muzzy Field. So much has been said about the Manchester series that the fact has been overlooked that Winsted will be n Bristol Sunday to play off the third ame of its series with New Departure.

INFORMS Hirm MLS TeA S AT WATCHES SWITCH ENGINE WITH AN ABSORBING oPERATOR 1S Two HouRS INTEREST ROBINS TAKE ONE AND LOSE SECOND Split With Pirates on Grounds ol Pittsburgh Team 1 Pittsburgh, Sept. 23.—The Brooklyn Robins acministered another gentle pat to the once-blooming pennant as- pirations of the Pirates yesterday aft- ernoon, taking a defeat in the open-| ing game of a double-header but giv- ! ing another in return in the closing engagement. Thus, while the Giants were idle, the Pirates played two games but could not gain, and as gain- ing is the chief object of the Pirates these autumn afternoons, it was an unprofitable day for George Gibson's crew. The scores were 3 to 1 in the initial battle and 2 to 0 in the sec- ond game. The Pirates were still four games removed from the Giants last night, one-half game further behind than when the Robins came to town to take two of the three games sched- uled for Forbes field. Such treat- ment is not good for languishing pen- nant hopes, and the fans today were inclined to jeer rather than cheer the faltering Corsairs. In the first game, while Burleigh Grimes was weaving a spell over the Pittsburgh bats, the crowd was caustic and sarcastic in its comments, but it quickly changed the tune when the Pirates swarmed over Burleigh Grimes in the cighth | walked away with the ball game. Beating Grimes, a persistent jinx this season, was the only bright spot in the | afternoon. For seven innings the hus- ky spitball artist refused to be tam- pered with and allowed only one single for Gibson's lads. But the eighth was different. Three hits and a brace of Brooklyn errors resulted in dis- aster for Grimes and defeat for the! Robins, who were having trouble with the combined offerings of Whitey Glazner, Carl Hamilton and Harold Carlson, the three sharpshooters that Gibson used. Glazner was recalled to allow a pin:h hitter to bat for him in the fruitful eighth, and Hamilton and Carlson divided the ninth, the latter coming in after Hamilton weak- ened slightly. First gam Pittsburgh 00000003x—3 Brooklyn cei.... 000100000—1 Glazner, Hamilton. Carlson and Gootch and 8chmidt; Grimes and Mil- ler.

Reds Win in Tenth, Cincinnati, Sept. 23.—Cincinnati de- feated Philadelphia, § to 4, in a hard ten-inning battle yesterday. In the tenth Bohne was hit by a pitched ball, Kopf sacrificed and Bohne was thrown out at the plate on Groh's single. Groh took second on the play and scored on Roush's single.

New York, Sept. 23.—Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, national woman tennis champion will make an attempt next year to wrest the world’s cham- plonship laurels from Suzanne Leng- len of France. It was learned today that the American title holder, who had won one set from the French player when Mlle. Lenglen defaulted in the American tournament lastg month, will go to England next spring ; to compete in the Wimbledon tourna- ment. | boy _ocal Man Out For Trinity Football Team “Jack" Keatingof this city reported esterday to Coach “Spud'’ Drew of the Trinity football squad for train- ng.

WOOLEY T0 PLAY IN NUTMEG LINE Trinity Star Secured for Game At Vibberts’ Lot Sunday “Ike” Wooley, coach of the Trinity freshmen, will appear in the line-up of the Nutmegs Sunday afternoon at Vibberts field when the Rambler- Tigers of Hartford are to be taken on “IKL” WOOLEY, by the locals. tackle. Wooley was graduated at the Hart- ford Hizh school with the class of playing on the football team and entered Trinity college in At that institution he played on the team during his entire course, captaining the squad in 1916. For a time after leaving Trinity, Wooley was in the uniform of the Clay Hills. The Nutmeg management has re- ceived word from Joe Neville that he will also be back in the game Sunday, despite rumors that he had given up playing football to devote himself to coaching. It has been reported that he was to handle the Washington Glees. This report he denies. The locals have practiced faithfully for the past week in preparation for what promises to be one of the most severe games of the season. Last year ths Rambler.Tigers gave the Nutmegs a trouncing on Vibberts lot and the locals have not forgotten their humi- liation at the hands of the Capital City club. The game will be called at 3 o’clock. So that the early arrivals may have somethirg to occupy their attention until the gladiators take the arena, Managers Scott and Waskowitz have arranged a preliminary to be furnished by the Rambler-Tiger Juniors of Hart- ford, and Manager George Scheyd's Redlands of this city. Wooley will play at Cleveland, Sept. Leslie O'Con- nor, secretary to Judge K. M. Landis, commissioner of baseball conferred | with Business Manager E. S. Barnard | of the Cleveiand baseball club today. Arrangements for the world's series in this city in the event the Indians win the American league pennant were discussed. YANKS WIN OVER Outcome of Series New York, Sept. 23.—Miller Hug- gins and his Yankees met Ty Cobb and his Tigers in the final engagement of the season between these two teams {at the Polo Grounds yesterday, and i the outcome was eminently satistac- tory to all concerned except the Tigers {and possibly the Cleveland Indians. As a result of the 12 to 5 victory, which the New Yorkers pounded out, and the Cleveland's triumph over Boston, the torrid American league pennant race remains just where it was yesterday, which adds, of course, to the importance of the series which begins with the Indians today and which New York baseball fans have come to look on as a little world series.

Boston, Sept. 23. — Cleveland won from Boston, 9 to 8 in twelve innings yesterday, thus virtually keeping pace with New York in the battle for first place. The Indians won on O'Niell's long double to right center, combined | with Pinch-hitter Speaker’s infleld out and Jamieson's fast bounder, which Scott could not field in time. Speaker nearly collapsed in running out his rolle: to Pratt. Sothoron’s poor ficlding of bunts, | Sewell’s muff of an easy fly, which al- lowed two runs to score, and a freak threebase hit by Walters, which Smith |fost in the sun, were the leading fac- tors in the Boston scoring. Russell and Thormahlen were wild, but the boxwork of Myers for the Red Sox and Morton and Caldwell for Cleveland was excellent. It was Morton's sec- ond victory in two days.

GIANTS GLIMBING NEARER TO FLAG American Race Closer New York, Sept. 23.—While the is- sue of who's who for first place re- mains unsettled in the American league that in the Naticnal lcague to- day uppears a trifle nearer solution than it has been. The New York Nationals with their lead of 26 points over Pitts- burgh, have the pennant almost with- in their grasp. With the ecasterners idle yesterday, the Pirates lost a point in their percentage figures by breaking even in a double-header with Breoklyn. Providing the Giants win three of their seven remaining games they will finish the season with 94 victories and 60 defeats and to better this mark, the Pennsylvan- ians must win all nine games re- maining on their schedule. If New York wins four, then Pittsburgh must win nine straizght games to tie. Babe Ruth left the home run hit- ting to two teammates, Quinn and Ward in t e Yank's victory over De- troit yesterday. Besides his homer, Ward made two triples, in three times at bat and scored three runs. Ruth up five times went hitless. George Sisler of the St. Louis Browps won the second game of a double-header against Philadelphia with his 11th “take four" hit of the season. The Browns who also won the first game were aided by good pitching by Davis and Bayne. It took Cleveland 12 innings to beat Boston in a game in which six pitch- ers were used, three by each club. Morton was credited with the vic- tory, his second in two days. OUTING TOMORROW. The Junior Brotherhood club of South church will hold a postponed outing Saturday afternoon at the Children's Home, Newington, leaving on the 2:07 Hartford trolley. The older boys of the home will be the guests of the Brotherhood at a ball game and other sports, and an open fire supper. GAME CALLED OFF.
