Gehrke Hit Hard, A rapid-fire attack on the offerings Pitcher Gehrke in the second in- ning, which earned the EIli team seven runs, decided the game, and thereafter it developed into a close ind hard-fought pitche: duel, be- tween Russell, who relieved Gehrke, and Ted Chittenden, ace of Yale's hurling staff. Yale could not hit Rus- sell safely, the Crimson twirler hold- ing the Eli stickers to four scattered hits. Chittenden worked slowly and cautiously, and each time Harvard had a spurt either his own brilliant work or that if his teammates pulled the team safely out of danger. Except for the wild second inning, the game was one of the cleanest and hardest fought games seen here be- tween the two colleges in several years [For Yale, Captain Malcolm Aldrich, Mike Eddy, Crane and Kelley covered themselves with glory, while Harvard in defeat had revealing moments in the playing of Janin and Lincoln, the former pulling down some great catches of hard hit balls, while the atter choked off a couple of hard hit balls. of Farewell for Aldrich. Gordon, Janin and Captain Conlon hit hard for Harvard, Gordon con- tributing a double, single and triple. Janin hit three singles, two of which counted a runner, while Conlon's swat in the ninth after Gordon tripled to the scoreboard in center field gave the Crimson their last run. Crane, O'Hearn and Eddy each garnered two singles apiece. Aldrich would up his college appearance here by slamming out a two-bagger in the second and by making the last catch of the game when he grabbed a labeled hit out of the air in deep short off Owen. Yale clinched the game in the sec- ond. Warren walked on four pitched balls. On the hit and run play Eddy singled to right, sending Warren to third, tovk second on the throw- in. Kelley walked and Mallory was hit by a pitched ball, forcing in the tying run Chittenden then dropped a pretty single inches within the left field foul line which enabled Eddy and Kelley to score. Crane sacrificed Jenkins to Owen, The undertaker song was sung when O'Hearn took his place and responded with a Texas leaguer to center that scored Mallory Oed popped a foul fly to Lincoln, but Aldrich doubled inside of third base to left field, counting Chittenden. Warren then singied to left and O'Hearn and Aldrich tallied. Eddy got his second hit of the inning, a single through deep short which was made off Russell, as Geherke was vanked after Warren hit.

Eddy-Glover Post, American Legion, will enter a team in the marathon race to be staged on July Fourth by the Courant in Hartford. Harry Wessels, chairman of the local ath- letic committee, has picked out a strong team of runners to compete, and the squad is practicing daily in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium in preparation for the event. There will be a large number of contenders in line and it is likely that Walter J Smith Post, V. F. W. will also enter a team, making two teams from this city that will compete, The matter will be discussed at a meeting this evening and if possible, a team will be picked to represent the local post in the race, The race will be run from Wethers- field to Hartford in the form of a re- lay marathon The distance to be covered will be 6 miles and will be covered by a team of 10 men. There is great enthusiasm in the local camps attendant with the entering of the Jocal teams and great interest is being shown by the men who are to com- pete in the event. It is likely that the Brock-Barnes Post of Plainville will enter a team, as there are a num- ber of good athletes among the mem- bers and there is a great deal of talk going the rounds about the possibility of having a team.

Y. PRINTERS SWAMP GASMEN Typesetters Land on Driscoll's Offer- ings for Seven Runs in the Sixth— Try Out New Battery. An avalanche of hits and runs hit the Gas Co. nine in the sixth inning of last evening's Hardware City In- dustrial league game, that same ava- lanche being caused by the Printers swatters, and seven runs resulted, en- abling the Printers to come off the field the winners by the score of 14 to 8. The Printers made & very poor start, due to the wonderful work of a new and inexperienced battery com- posed of Daly pitcher-and Samuelson, manager of the team, catcher. Daly seemed to think that he was in there to hit the backstop on every throw,for of the fourteen balls that he threw, not one of them were strikes. Sam.- uelson, behind the bat, was blind, be- cause of the fourteen balls that Daly threw, he failed to catch one of them, and the result was that the Gas Co. team received a free gift of three runs before Samuelson heard the alarm clock go off. He finally called in Smith to pitch, put Daly behind the bat, and went into right field, where he promptly gave an exhibition of a headless chicken in a wild chase for a fly ball, and fell just as he was going to catch the pill, and this gave the Gas Co. a chance to score. The man who hit the ball, however, tried to make a three bagger out of the muff, but Tommy Crean chased from center field over into right, relayed the ball to the shortstop and the run- ner was caught at third. Smith pitched airtight ball, but re- ceived ragged support. Driscoll went fine until the sixth when the Printers landed on his offerings and sewed the game up. The first woman's club in the United states was founded in Boston by Anne Hutchinson in 1638. There’s tA Least One In Every Office » L] RAINVNG. AND NoT AN VMERELLA //// % GONE- So | AH- HAH~'.

Tp BETTY -~ You'VE BEEN HIDING FROM Your LITTLE BETTY BEHIND THE Door You RASCAL TaLk ABoUT Your LIFE- SAVER' Manager McConn Books Bridgeport’s Best Aggre- gation of Ball Tossers for Sunday’s Game at St. Mary’s Field—Park City- ites Have Splendid Record This Season. The American Chain company base- ball team of Bridgeport, rated as one of the best semi-pro teams in Connec- ticut, will oppose the New Britain Kaceys at St. Mary’s fleld at 3 o'clock next Sunday afternoon. For several yvears, any athletic team carrying the colors of the Accos has always render- ed an excellent account on the field, and this applies particularly to base- ball and football. Of considerable lo- cal interest will be the fact that Pete Wilson, a former local boy, who got his start in this city, and made his way up to the American league ranks, as a member of the New York Yan- kees, will be on the mound for the visitors. Manager Walker of the Ac- cos has made this statement as a definite announcement. With Pete going good, he should give the Kaceys plenty of trouble in locating those mystifying benders he still can throw. Visitors Look Strong. Manager Walker has moulded to- gether a team this season that is up- holding the prestige of the American Chain company in excellent shape. Burke, who has played here with | Bridgeport teams in the past, is the lead off batsman, as well as holding down in fine style the centerfield po- sition. As a sure fly catcher, Burke has no equal in this state, according the claims of the followers of the Bridgeport team. Ix-Leaguer With Accos, Jack Egan, who once caught for the Springfield Ponies, of the = Kastern league, but who gave up professional baseball for a more lucrative berth with the Accos, will be found in left field next Sunday. He is rated as a speedy fly chaser, as well as a hefty wielder of the willow. Vie Wargo, the rightfielder, has displayed his wares in this city with Bridgeport teams against the Pioneers in past seasons. He is just as nifty as his side kicks, Egan and Burke. Well Balanced Infield. The infield is a well balanced crew of players, with Ivers, guarding the initial station; Bill Morey, at the key- stone sack; Bowden, a former Last- ern eaguer, at the dizzy corner, and Klinger, playing the shortstop posi- tion. “Red Robinson will do the backstopping, and he is rated as one young catcher who is able to hold the best Pete Wilson tosses. Douglas is an extra hurler that Manager Walker calls into the breach, in the case of necessity. Eddie Crowley will hold the indica- tor. The coming attraction should attract a monster crowd. NAVY WILL BOOM SOCCER. Half a Dozen Games Already Ar- ranged for Next Fall. Annapolls, Md., June 23.—With the approval of Rear Admiral Henry I.
