Homers Due To “Rabbit” ew York, April 28.—Frank Chance, manager of the Boston Red Sox, says he is already con- vinced that a rabbit ball is re- sponsible for the many home runs being made in the majors. “The ball in use today is radi- cally different from the one in vogue when I retired from the American League in 1914, A rabbit ball plus inferior pitching are the reasons for the home run orgy,” says Chance. ““Babe Ruth is a great bats- man, but if the late Ed Dela- hanty could come back and play under the same conditions, a lively ball, inferior pitching and small parks, he would break Ruth’s mark of 59 home runs.” e ————————————— COLLEGE BASEBALL Boston College 11, Rensselaer 4.

His wife was at his bedeide whe he died. Sentelle was operated on here last Sunday by Dr. H. H. Hines, physician of the Cincinnati National league club. |1t was found the patient had suffered | from a ruptured appendix which made | his condition precarious, He rallied after the operation and appeared to | be recovering until yesterday when he |suffered a relapse.

Plainville will have one of the fast< est teams in the state, according to the plans of Roy French, the man- ager, he announced today. Most all of the places have been filled with the Leést men availuble and the combina- tion when it is working in good order should be able to defeat most any: thing that is up against it. The tentative lineup as drawn up | within the past few weeks gives the names of some of the best diamond performers in these parts, The cateh- er's berth will be covered by Tedder Kilduff of New Britain, Kilduff has been disporting in the outfleld the past few seasons, but he is an ace high man behind the bat and is strong with the willow. He will be remembered for his timely clout 2 la Babe Ruth last season with men on to win the game in the ninth. Paired up with him on the flinging end, will be Gerry Crean, also of New Britain, premier twirler for the New Britain Kaceys last season. The lanky boy from the Hardware City will make & strong addition to the lineup and will give many a visiting team something to talk about. Russ Winniger, a favorite with the | Plainville fans, will cover the first sack. His work needs no mention here, as he has been a regular mem- ber of the Plainville team for several past seasons. Possessed of a good arm, a sure pair of mitts, and a good eye at the bat, he will be a tower of strength to the team. Shortstop will | be covered by the incomparable Bud- nick, probably the best infielder in New Britain today. Budnick has played here in former seasons, and his prowess with the willow is well known. Hit ’em as hard as they | want to, they never get by' Buddy. Sometimes he muffs them, but his | powerful arm always gets them to the bag before the runner. Holcomb, another . nifty inflelder, will be seen on third. This boy hails | from the Bell City, Bristol, and has heen a member of the New Departure team in the utility infielder's role for several seasons. His work, combined with Budnick's, will make a regular | stonewall of the defense. In the outfield, three of the fleetest mien in the game will be seen. lLan- dry, formerly with the Three Rivers, | Mass,, team, one of the strongest com- | binations in New England, will cavort lin the left garden. Jack Elliot, an- [ other speed king, will cover center, | while Naltanian, recent member of a }pro!esslanal team in the Mississippl league, will be in right. The latter | boy made good last scason in profes- | sional ball, but the returns for his ef- forts were not enough to entice him | to sign a contract this year. | Second base at the present time is open, but several good men are being interviewed day by day, and it is probable that Green, the New Britain slugger, will be signed up before long. The management will also seek anoth- er hurler to alternate with Crean in |the box, and with this combination working together, some of the fastest teams in the state will be booked. Present plans call for the opening of the season againgl the Corbin A. C. of New Britain a week from tomer- | row.
