Yesterday they dropped their fifth game of the season, this one to the Noiseless Typos of Middletown. Incidentally they lost 5 to 4, this being their fifth loss by a one run margin. The team now has won five and lose five games, Next Saturday the boys play at the Norwich State hospital and on Sunday in Sims- bury against the Indians there. Although Corbin outhit the Typos, having got 11 safe bingles, the hits did not come when they were needed and a dozen red legs were left strand- ed on the bags. Corbin scored in the first when Corbin walked, was sacri- ficed by Al Blanchard, took third when Winner booted Snyder's tap and scored on Winner's mussing up Bar- nett's drive. “Slim" Politis scored a homer, said to have been the longest hit ever made on the Typo's fleld. Preisser scored ahead of him. In the seventh Synder beat out an infield hit, stole second and scored when Wojak doubled. +« Mumby's double in the fifth, Win- ner's walk and steal and Cahill's sin- gle accounted for two of the Nolise- less runs. In the sixth Corkins dou- bled and scored when Johnson did the same thing. wgain in the eighth, Cor- kins walked, took second on Taylor's single apd scored on Johnson's safety. Malony's sacrifice fly scored Taylor. The Red Sox made a bit in the ninth when Wojak singled and was followed with safeties by Barnett and Preisser, but Clinton's best was a fly, to Millerick for the last out.

BOBBY JONES WINS NATIONAL HONORS Defeats Cruikshank by Two Strokes in Playol for Title By The Associated Press. New York, July 16. — The purple mantle of American golf rests today upon the youthful but stocky should- ers of Bobby Jones, brilllant Atlanta stylist. Yesterday he scaled the heights he has been threatening to climb for several years by vanquish- ing Bobby Cruikshank, diminutive Scotch professional by two strokes in the playoff of the 27th national cham- pionship at-the Inwood Golf club on Long Island. Jones did not capture the most coveted of American links prizes with- out a struggle, after seeing Cruik- shank tle his 72 holes score of 296 on Saturday necessitating a play off, the Georgia wizard was forced to call on all his shot making greatness to down the sturdy Scotchman, He scored a 76, four over par for the 18 holes, deciding test against Cruikshank's 78. The 18th Hole The 18th hole at Inwood, a 425 yard, par four affair that has many dangers, is destined to take an im- portant niche in open golf history. It was on this hole that Bobby Jones threw away almost certain victory Saturday where Cruikshank, fighting against heavy odds recovered to hole a brilljant birdie three and tle the At- lantan. And then yesterday it was the setting for one of the most dramatic finishes the title event has ever known. Crulkshank, staging an uphill bat- tle on the second nine holes, had tied the score on the 17th, with a good recovery from a trap and a long putt. Strain Begins To Tell The strain seemed to be telling on the Scott for he topped his tee shot on the 18th, the ball traveling 150 yards and landing in the rough short of the fairway. Jones was well up, but in the rough to the right. Fighting gamely, Cruikshank put his iron shot out into the fairway, but when Jones drove his second shot almost dead to the pin a brilliant 200 yard iron shot, Cruikshank's was a forlorn hope, He studied his next try but it was off line |and he was trapped to the left of the green. When his fourth went over the cup and his fifth failed to go in, he grasped the hand of his opponent. It was but a formality for Jones to hole in two putts for his par four and victory.

If Willlam Dudack takes the posi- tion of physical director at the Weav- er High school in Hartford, without a ctate certificate it is the intention of Alderman Candee to seck an injunc- tion against the controlier of the city | of Hartford. | Mr. Candee admitted it was his in- terticn to notify the High school com- miittee that its action in appointing| Mr, Dudack was ill advised because of the fact that he had not obtained a ce'tflcate and it appears likely that he will be unable to obtain one be- fore the school term opens in the fall. Hc sald that he would advise the coramittee to ask the advice of the corporation counscl as to the legality of Mr, Dudack’s appointment. If his suggestion is not acted on he will, as an individual, seek to have an injunc- tion placed against the comptroller of Hartford to keep him from paying Mr. Dudack his salary. He explained that this of course depends on the results of the investigation now being carried on. The requirements of the certificate which Mr. Candee claims Dudack needs are as follows: First that the applicant, before July 1, 1922, have completed two years of work in an approved public or private High school, or have had an equivalent academic education, before July 1, 1928, three years, and on and after July 1, 1924, have graduated there- from. He must be a graduate of at least a two-year course in physical education, pass an examination in (Continued on Following Page). POOR FIELDING IS BESSEES' DOWNFALL Hit Well But Plainville Triumphs 10 to 9 n Errors The Besse-Lelands were there with the bat yesterday but were very poor in the fleld. They smote the piil for 16 hits but mussed up nive in the fleld and as a result lost to the Plainville nine, score 10 to 9, in an exciting game. The visitors scored four in the first on two hits and three misplays. Fields made a pretty play and threw out his arm at short on it. Travers took his place. Hyland pitched nice ball, allowing but six hts, but was giv- en terrible assistance in the field. When he left the Plainville boys were ahead 9 to 2. Bill Dudack then went in and also pitched well. Phelps was hit hard but got neat support. Stanley Budnick played a whale of a game at third for the visitors and got three hits in four trips. Tibbals in the center garden played very deep and as a result nabbed blows that were labelled extra bases, Cherpack also did some neat work in the field for Plainville. Travers got three hits for the home club, Bill Dudack two— a double and a triple. Johnny Schroeder also slugged out a triple. Meritorious work in the fleld was done by Fields, and O'Brien and For- tier contributed noteworthy catches in the garden. Plainville, © - | cornmouowmn] Fitzpatrick, 2b. . Kilduft, c. Landree, If.

This 16-17 year old club now is out after bigger game. It has been decid- ed to seek a game with the Cardinals of the City league and other similar teams. Here's the Cubs’ lineup: Cap- tain Baker, Grem, Blanco, Harkins, Darrow, Messenger, Cosgrove, Levine, Politis, Stohl and Huck. The man- agement is after two other pitchers and feels sure that they can land both of them. The Cubs wish to hear from the Cardinals this week through the “Herald.” When a Feller Needs a Friend AMOUS FRQUALITY wloconcomcons Fafnirs Win 16-6 and Losers Threaten Protest — Fal- cons Beat Cardinals 13 to 4 and Pirates Defeat Dragons 14 to 9—Inde- pendents Win 5 to 1 From Rangers. Regardless of winners and losers, the outstanding feature of Saturday’s games in the City league was the absolute collapse of the heretofore strong and steady playing Berlin Construction nine which went down to defeat at the hands of the Fatnir nlne by the overwhelming score of 16 to 6, and the loud howl put up protesting the umpiring of “Red” Campbell and the excited protesta- tions of Jole Smith, Berlin score- keeper, that the game would be pro- tested and *“Red” would be chased cut of the league. This all came about in the sixth inning when Campbell, after being repeatedly razzed from the Berlin slde and made the target of a verbal assault by Pitcher McCormick ordered McCor- mick out of the game. For a few minutes it looked as though *“Red"” would have to make good his threat and forfeit the game to Fafnir unless McCormick quit the field. Eventu- ally, however, things were smoothed out and the slaughter continued. Cther games resulted in a win for the Independents, 5 to 1, over the Rangers. The score of the Falcon- Cardinal game was 13 to 4 in favor of the Falcons and the tally in the Pirate-Dragon game was 14 to 9 with the Pirates on the long end. Berlin Vs. Fafnirs Tommy Blanchard, who pitched for Fatnir, held Berlin safely throughout the game, although in the last inning four hits, two of them consecutive doubles, brought in three runs. In the second inning Berlin scored when McCormick, who was then playing centerfield, was passed, went to third on Hughes' single and scored when | Al Blanchard erred in throwing wild- ly to third to nip him stealing. Hughes scored on the next play, when Tommy Blanchard booted an infield tap by Fields. Again in the fourth Berlin tallied when Hughes after hit- ting safely, stole second and was worked around. The final three came in the ninth when Wordelin, first up, hit a double and was followed with another two bagger by Doran, who scored later. Fields then hit a sin- gle, stole second and third and then stole home, getting safe when Nelson dropped the ball. Fafnir scored in ever inning except the third, fourth and eighth. In the first, Fitzpatrick was passed, sent to second on an infleld hit by Al Blanch- ard, took third on Al Schade's sacri- fice, Blanchard taking second, and both scored on Landry's double. Lan- dry scored a moment later on Bar- nett’s single. Two came scross in the second ‘on a double by Benny Smith, hits by Corbin and Fitzpatrick, both later scoring on a hit and an error. In the fifth Barnett, first up, tapped (Continuea on Following Page). BRIGS
