Manager Frank J. McConn, of the Kaceys has booked for the third home game of the season tomorrow, the speedy All-Insurance nine of Hartford, rated as the best club in the Capital City this season. The yisi- tors are a selected aggregation of players, and have been rendering an excellent account on the diamond so fa rthis year. On Memorial Oay, the All-Insurance team played the crack Manchester team in the Silk town and held' that club to a 2 to 1 victory. Thorsell, the catcher of the Hartford elub, played basketball here during the past season. He is a fine all- around athlete. To Try New Pitcher The local management will use either Restelll or McCorniiek, a Ken- sington boy on the mound, owing to a lameness developed by Gerry Crean, the Kaceys star moundsman. Restelli, who captained the championship basketball team, may draw the pitch- ing assignment. Should this be the case, it will be the acid test for “Hope” as a hurler. Little is known by the writer of his ability to burn 'em over the platter. McCormick, the other pitching possi- bility tomorrow, worked last yvear in the City league, twirling for the Tabs’ team. He has a one-hit game to his eredit. The remainder of the local team will be the same as that which has turned in two excellent exhibi- tions on the past two Sundays. Game Starts at 3 p. m. The management has provided for the same arrangements that exfsted last Sunday, with the field roped off, and with a minion of the law to see that the crowd stays where it belongs, thereby affording everybody an excel- lent chance of witnessing the game. Umpire Eddie Crowley will call “Play Ball” at 3 o’'clock. PLAY IN MIDDLETOWN Vikings of This City To Stack Up Against Fast Russell Mfg. Co. Nine —Lineup of Locals Strengthened. The Vikings baseball nine will play the fast Russell Mfg. Co. team of Middietown at Russell field tomor- row afternoon. The Russell team has had one of the fastest semi-pro teams in this section for a number of years, and has been winning most all of their games this season. The Vikings have been hitting a fast pace also, and with a few changes that have been made in the lineup, should make the Middletown crew travel. William ““Buggy’ Fitzpatrick, one of the niftiest inflelders in the city, and last year with the Plainville town team, has been signed up by the Vikings management for the rest of the season.” He should prove a valu- able addition to the team because of his ability to fill in where the team has been weak. The following players and the team’s rooters will meet at the club rooms at 12:30 o’'clock tomorrow to make the trip by automobile: Bloom, Nelson, Holmberg, Wolf, Johnson, Clancy, Hilstrand, Larson, Berg, Dahlstrom, Paulson and Berry. e Gave Up Golf SCULLERS TO COMPETE IN RACE AT PHILA.

Louls stars, a hot race for the leadership in batting and home run hitting in the American league according to averages releas- ed today. " “Bing" smashed out a brace of homers in his last six games and now has an even dozen—just two fewer than the slugging Willlams who jumped out in front at the start of the season. The averages include games of Wednesday. Sisler Still Leads. Sisler is topping the batters with an averageé of .425. The batting mark of the St. Louis star was given _& setback in the series between the White Sox and Browns but the 8t. Louis favorite appears again to have struck his stride.

Miller i{s right on his heels with an average of .387. Sisler is giving the base stealers the dust, his nearest rival being his teammate, Willlams. E&isler has stol- en 18 bases while Willlams has 10. Other leading batters for 25 or more games: Speaker, Cleveland, .383 Cobb, Detroit, .381; Witt, New York, .378; O’Neill, Cleveland, .377; Schang, New York, .354; McManus, St. Louis, .333. George Torporcer the slugging shortstop of the St. Louis Cards, who topped the National league batters a week ago with an average of .404, connected safely only four times in 31 times at bat and fell into 13th place with a mark of .336. Gowdy In 400 Class. Hahk Gowdy, the Boston catcher, is the only batter in the league hit- ting over the .400 mark. His aver- age for 25 games i3 .403. Griffith of Brooklyn, who played in a like num- ber of contests is the runner up to Gowdy with an average of .394. Rogers Hornsby, of the Cards, crashed out four home runs, bringing his record to 13. The St. Louis star is the first man in the league to pass the century mark for total base honors, being out in front with 112 bases. He is in fourth place among the batters with an average of .337; just ten points behind Bigbee of Pittsburgh, who is third with .387. Tied In Pilfering.
