ON THE FIRST BOUND | = WITH CLERKIN The Lafayette baseball nine:defeat- ed Penn yesterday 8 to 1 at Easton, Ps. From London comes the word that | George Carpentiér has agreed to a re- turn match with Joe Beckett, Thé { British tomato is going to get hurt yet, | o meeting fighters. t The perlnrmnnce\l of Hannes Koleh- ! mainen turned in at Helsingfors, Fin- | 1and, on Thursday, will not be accept- | od as a world's record for the 25 kllo- | metres. On measuring the track, it | was found to be 478 metres short of | the régulation distance. The admirers of “Kid” Kaplan ought to “lay off that stuff,” about his meeting Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight champion. This talk has been nothing more than bunk and last night's bout showed that | Kaplan is not to be classed as a con- tender for Kilbane's title. |, The United States Submarine Base- | ball nine, defeated Boston college yes- { terday at New London, 12 to 1. Discovered why the ‘New Britain ;ngh school has been losing all the ! bdseball games this season. The ex- ample of yesterday when the players { started into crab one another, and the lack of cordiality existing between the member of the team is enough to put | any team, baseball or otherwise, in the | hole. Coach Cassidy never said a truer word than he did yesterday aftérnoon when his team started to throw away the ball game. According to the | eoach, “It's easy for any team to play baseball when they are winning, but ! the mark of true sports is the ability to play when you are losing.” . There seems to be a great deal of feeling against Clayton Gray, the local High school twirler. His team mates yesterday didn't like it a bit when he relleved Willlams and they started in , to say so. If that has been existing all season, then, it is no puzzle why the téam has lost the majority of its | games, The Meriden team seemed to be all shot yesterday in the first frame. The 4 shortstop, third baseman and second ‘bueman made errors, but instead of (laying down, the team buckled to- ! gether and came right back. The sin- cerity with which the players on the Meriden team backed up their pitch- er almost shamed the local men. The best man on the local team, the hardest worker, and the boy that is in the game at all times is Klatka, the cateher. In yesterday's game, there was not a murmur out of him throughout the nine innings, but he was talking it up every second. That boy can catch and he can also hit. “Duke” McCabe played a whale of & game at first base. His length serv- ed him in good stead on the initial sack. If he will get into the® habit :+ of stretehing for the throws as they come across the diamond, there are many runners’ who will miss being safe by a step. Talking' of individual players and their good points, the New Britain msan are as good an aggregation as his been seen among the High school team of the state. Tney have yet to léearn that no team can play ball un- ss they play together. The Junior High school team play- !ing yesterday, showed some good ma- terial for the future. Coach Delaney of the track team was out looking over the youngsters in yesterday's meet and he has his eye on several whom he thinks that he will be able ito develop. Phelan, especially, looks mighty good as a coming athlete. The Corbin ball team will .play at New Hartford tomorrow afternoon. The players and rooters will leave at 12 o'clock from the ‘corner of Main and Chestnut street in Blanchard’s automobile truck. The Redwoods defeated the Nut- megs last night 14 to 9. The batteries for the winners were Griffen and Solin and for the losers Clinton and Mur- phy. The management of the Red- woods announces that his team s tired of playing the Nutmegs and would like to arrange with any other teams in this vielnity, averaging 18 to 40 years. Martin O'Neil of 132 Oak stréet is the pilot of the Redwoods. It has been on the way a long time, that scheduled hhting for “Kid" Kap- lan, but its arrival was delayed until last night. “Kid" Wagner left no doubt in the minds of those present EEE—g— e —— Are You Ruptured? Instant Relief of his vast superiority over the Mer. iden boy. Boy, do not page Johnny Kilbane for awhile, There was a pause at the end of the Kaplan-Wagner hout last night, while the crowd walited to see what Referce Glennon would do in awarding the de- cislon, He did the only t he could in declding against Kaplan, Meriden or no Meriden, job or no job. SISLER AND GOWDY LEAD IN BATTING Warm Weather Causes the Pitch- ing to Become Harder to Solve Chicago, June 10, — With warmer weather and more work the major league pitchers are hitting their stride with the result that the slug- A match between Young Mack of Hartford and a blllygoat ought to he carded some night. A boxer usually has his head to use in a bout. Mack uses his all right, but it is for an en- tirely different purpose than we have in mind, The Meriden fans were rooting hard for Hall to beat Mack. Around the ringside, several Hartford fans, re- ciprocated in the big bout by pulling for Wagner. This is inter-city rivalry for you. “Izzy" Kaplan is the best young catcher we have looked over in some time. That boy should make the big leagues, if he continues to stop 'em as he did last night. Mickey Travers of New Haven chal- lenged the winner of the main bout. As usual, the Meriden fans gave him the “raze"” for even thinking of meet- ing their pet. If memory serves us, Mickey's record in bouts with Kaplan is the best so far, Budnick, whose work is remember- ed in the Industrial league and also with the Colliers, will be seen in a Kaceys uniform tomorrow afternoon against the Winsted team. This will not tend to weaken the locals any. A golf foursome between Tom O'Connor and Bill Mangan, opposing Doc. Dunn'and Harry O'Connor is be- ing talked of. Tom O'Connor is not doing the bulk of the talking either. The box officg receipts of hoxing exhibitions held in this state are us- ually swelled by the good crowd of local fans in attendance, Last night it was estimated that about 100 New Britainites attended the Silver City A. C. show. At Bridgeport on May 29 a big delegation watched Baird-Kaplan in action. Rutledge Simmons of Brooklyn has gers are finding it harder every day to get the ball Into safe territory, This Is shown by the steady shrink- age during the past week or two in the batting averages of George Sls- ler, Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Rogers Hornsby and others, The youngsters, who set the league afire in the first weeks of the season with 450 marks, are now getting back to their normal aberages of .275 while Sisler and others, dropping more slowly than the flash in the pan bat- ters still are rapidly getting down to their usual records. Sisler Still Leads Sisler still tops the American league battars today despite a drop to .419 this week the mark including gamgs of last Wednesday. Sisler cracked out nine hits in his last 6 games, scored six runs and stole five bases, and as a result continues to be the whole show excepting the home run attraction. With his 23 stolen bases, Sisler is far in front of his rivals on the paths, his closest competitor be- ing Kenneth Willlams, who has pil- fered 17, The late start and slow program made by “Babe’” Ruth has encourag- ed other players to enter the home run competition in the hepe of top- ping the “Babe.” Ken Williams of St. lL.ouis bagged another homer bring- ing his string to 14. Ruth has five, 124 Miller of Philadelphia is trailing with 12, C. Walker of Philadelphia has nine, Harry Heilman, of Detroit eight, while Baker of New York, Judge of Washington and Falk of Chi- cago, have entered the contest with seven each. Other leading batters for more games: Stephenson, Cleveland .416; Ed Mil- ler, Phila. .385; Witt, New York .37 Cobb, Detroit .370; Speaker, Cleve- land, .369; O'Neill, Cleveland .364; Schang, New York .347; Heilman, Detroit .339. Gowdy Tops N. L. Batsmen First in war, first in batting. This is the honor which has fallen to Hank 26 or been named captain of the Williams golf team for 1923, The death of Owner James C. Dunn of the Cleveland team is a distinct loss to the American league. O. P. Alford of Flushing, L. I, will lead the Princeton lacrosse team next season.

The “iron man" of the infield com pleted his 884th consecutive game when the Yanks and White Sox closed their series yesterday. | The Yankee shortstop started his| record when he joined the Red Sox in 1916, He never missed a game in | the six years on that ciub and since hecoming & member of the New York club has played in the 52 games so | far. In all these years ott has ranked as the hest shortstop in the American league. His field average | for the entire time with the Red Sox being .970. He holds the record of | making the least number of errors in a season. In the years 1918 and 1919 Scott made a total of 34 errors, di- vided equally in each season, which gave him a flelding average of .976. Scott also has batted well. In his six years in a Red Sox uniform he played in 832 games and had a grand average of 255, Since joining the TWanks, Scott has been at hat 190 times and has clouted out 56 hits for a batting average of he has been charged with four errors in 117 chances.

Wagner was far too clever for the ver City favorite, and hia feel blocking and ducking, made his rival look dizzy, and at times foolish, in his awkward effort to locate him, Strange as it may seem, there were practigade 1y no dissenting voices at the decisiom, which is another way of saying that Wagner won by a mile and a half. In the semi-final bout, Joe Hall, of Bridgeport, clearly outpointed Young Mack of Hartford, in tén rounds, The Hartford boy got himself “in bad" by his butting tactics, while Hall fought a cool clever battle. The prelimin- ary resulted in the first downfall' of the night for the house of Kaplan, when “lzzy" a brother of Louis Kap- lan, was beaten to a pulp by Young Leonard of Wallingford. Referee Glennon showed excellent judgment in stopping the affair in the sixth and final round, after Kaplan had been hit with everything but the ring posts, The Missiasippl was traced to its source in 1832, O'Neil’s Tire Bargains Empire—McGraw—Marathons Skid Skid Skid Skid Skid Skid Skid Skid Skid Skid Skid Skid 30x3 —Non 30x31,—Non 32x31,—Non 31x4 —Non 32x4 —Non 33x4 —Non 34x4 —Non 32x413,—Non 33x413,—Non 34x41,—Non 35x41;—Non 35x5 —Non All First Quality Tires, Guaranteed—Tubes From Cord 13.51 17.42 20.41 21.97 22.75 25.68 27.17 5 27.82 3 28.47 34.84 95¢ Up Fabric .$ 7.67 . 865 . 10,79 12.68 13.98 .14.30 16.12 O’Neil Tire & Battery Co. 39 WASHINGTON ST. unlimited assortment of excellent buys.
