'Spe'aking df Sports At last! ' The city has provided a rubber home plate and new bags for the bages at the Walnut Hiil park diamonds. Y As an umpire, Artie Campbell is giving perfect satisfaction. He's quick and reasonable on balls and strikes and also on the bases, and al- l ‘ways shouts his decisions so they can| be heard. Also, Artie insists on the keeping on the jump. players ., Kalazia, the Independents’ catcher, is certainly a sweet little player. He has a line that confuses the batter and helps his pitcher. On top of that, he has an unerring judgment In pick- ing the batters’ weak points. He's also got a neat whip to the bases. ‘Williams, the Indepéendents’ pitcher, looks pretty good. Tomorrow's city league games are: Fafnirs and Cardinals and Rangers and Berlin at 2 p. m. and at 4 o’clock, falcons and St. Mary's, and Dragons and Independents. Hoyt pitched a nice game for the fanks yesterday and the team won 4 and 2. 'This puts the Yanks far, far in the lead. ‘e The Reds, by defeating the Phils 2.0, advanced into second place in the National league, Thé Glants maintained their posi- tion by defeating the Pirates 3-2. The champs got the breaks when two Pirates were nipped at the plate. The Athletics lost their 1ith straight game yesterday when the Ty- gars ‘won 68 to 5. The . Senators took two from the Browns yesterday 5-0 and 2-1. Yesterday was the first time this seagon that a home run was not reg- istered in either the American or Na- tional leagues, although all the clubs, with the exception of Brooklyn and £¢. Louis, weré playing. One 6t the favorite maxims of wise men is that dishonesty never pays. It is also well known that every rule has its exception and in the case I am about to discuss dishonesty seems to be a very good money making proposition for a certain person after all. Tn the case of Joe Jackson, for- mer putfielder of the Chicago Ameri- cans, an unlawful deed has made some money for him. Jackson was among the players who were literally thrown out of organized baseball after their dealings with gamblers during the world series of 1919, Today he 45: making about $500 a day for playing in an independent league in Georgia and offers are coming in from all over the state for his services or games with the team he is a member of. This does not mean however that Jackson did right or that he should be allowed to play with organized teams. It is too bad that players who stand a chance to advance have to assoclate with him for this assoclation auto- matically suspends them. Any. player working for Charley Comiskey, owner of the Chicago White Sox, and doing what Jackson did should not be al- ing it without practically a star play- er. A man Itke him is better off out of the game, for his policy of running a ball club the same way he runs his theatrical enterprises has never been a success, The new owners have a task before them that is high as a mountain and If they can produce a winning team in Beantown there will be nobody jealous of the feat for the Massachusetts city was, up to the time of Frazee's debut, one of the best paying major 1en;ue towns in the country, Willlam Lutzke, ' Cleveland's new third baseman, is doing his bit toward keeping the Indians in second place as his playing and hitting in Wednes- day’'s game teétifies. Lutzke hit a homer with one on the paths, the four-ply blow winning the game, Lut- zke came from the Kansas City club of the American Assoclation and made good from the start. Other rookies from the American Associa- tlon include Glenn Myatt from Mil- ee, who is dividing with Steve O'Neil the work behind thé plate. Connolly and Summa. are two others also who have made good their first years with the Cleveland Indians. The lack of good pitchers is indi- rectly the cause of the slide the Ath- letics are taking toward the cellar. If Mack had a strong pitching staff there is little doubt that he would be up in the first division fighting it out with Cleveland and the Yankees for the lead. But he isn't and every day the team looks worse than ever on the field. Paul Doyle, who has fought practi- cally all the good boys in his weight fell down miserably Wednesday night in his bout with Dave Shade, the Cali- fornian “flash.” The fight was unin- teresting, to say the least, and Doyle was on the defensive for the most of the time, Be that as it may there is a ray of sunshine in the fact that Lou Bogash, 'the walloping Bridgeporter, came through with his fight over Panama Joe Gans. It was none too good to watch either, according to re- ports. The entire card seemed to be rather displeasing to some for their were no -sensational battles, except perhaps for the Johnny Clinton-John- ny Mendelsohn fray. There was more spirit in this fight than the preceding two. There is a lull in boxing activi- ties now anyways, possibly because New York has been fed to death on championship fights and have no ap- petite for any others. The Senators A. C, one of the fast junior teams of the city, will cross bats with the Plainville Pioneers Sat- urday afternoon at 2 o'clock. This will be.the second meetipg between these teams, the Benators capturing the first game after a hard fought struggle. The Pioneers are out for revenge and this should prove a pretty scrap to watch. All the baseball fans of the city should witness the fray and if the New Britain boys should defeat them again they would avenge the two defeats handed by the Plainville town team to the Besse-Leland aggre- gation, Manager McCourt of the Sen- ators will trot out his patching ace, Casey, to do the hurling with reliable Jimmie Kane on the receiving end. Either Vance, New Britain Trade school star, or Tolll will toss them over for Plainville with Miller catch- ing their benders. MERIDEN FIGHT IS NOT T0 TAKE PLACE (Continued from Preceding Page) LEONARD-WHITE GO FINALLY ARRANGED (Continued From Preceding Page). from the Frenchman a week ago yes- terday, was at the pler to wish Criqui good luck. Eugene's eyes were still discolored but he bore no other marks of the terrible lacing he suffered gt 1 Dundee’s hands. Criqui takes with him the best wishes of American sportsmen. He| won the championship from Johnny Kilbane on June 2 but stayed here to give Dundee a chance. To be sure, the hero of Verdun had posted a forfeit to guarantee Dundee at match, but under the circumstances many a batter would have let the forfeit slide and have gone bagk to Europe with the championship to rake in a golden harvest. Criqui said probably would be back next winter and would try to fight his way to another match with Dundee. The former poilu earned about $80,000 during his stay in this country, so it was not such a bad trip after all. Criqui will box in a benefit for French war orphans soon after his arrival in France, AMERICAN LEAGUE | (Continued from Preceding Page) Goslin, 1f. Rice, rf. Ruel, Harris, 2b. .
