Speaking of Sports ¥rom a bad second choice to a team on which most betting is even and in some instances is the favorite, is the record of the Besse-Lelands in their scries with Corbin. The second game will be played| Sunday and many partisan fans look| to “Lefty” Palmer to repeat his vie- tery over the Red Sox. Of course, the Corbin team may have had an “off day," but just the game, no more errors werewcharged against them than to the B.L. nine and at present it looks as thi lhe teams were menly matched. We're inclined to agree with Jack Kearns when' he says that lone right hand punch, such as Firpo has, is not going to beat Démpsey. The champ has weathered other and havier wal- lops than the Argentinean has.

PR R Providénce Victim, Badly Hurt, Says She Admitted Her Mistake After Attacking Him @ Providence, Aug. 30.—Declaring that he had been shot by an unidenti- fied woman, who, after firing and hit- ting him in the abdomen, bent over him! and exclaimed: “My God! I've shot the wrong man!"” Ernest R. Smith, a coal dealer of this city, re- quested an operation for the removal ing to Smith, occurred at 11:30 o'clock vesterday morning while he was drive ing his automobile in the Gaspe M trafic subway. The police did not learn of the afs fair until almost half an hour after it Is sald to have occurred, Smith, who sald the woman fled immediately af- ter seeing that she shot the wrel man, did not report the matter to the police, although it is believed that hi passed several officers on his way to the hospital. The woman described by the wound- ed man as about 21 years old, of short, stocky build and wearing a blue suit and small hat, had not been found up to n late hour tonight, though the po- lice on learning of the shooting took every precaution to cover the terri- tory in the vicinity of Gaspe street, At the first examination surgeons at the hospital held out little hope for Smith's recovery, the bullet, it is said, having plerced his bladder. Late last night, however, it wa$ reported that his life might be saved. The police in their investigation are not entirely accepting the story told by Smith, on the assumption that he knows more regarding the identity of his assallant than he is willing to ad- mit. Police Inspectors are investigat- ing his activities for the last few months., Smith, who is married, lives at 89 President avenue, in this city. He is secretary of the R. E. Smith Coal company. Before firing the shot the woman, according to Smith, caused him to stop his car in the subway. He said he heard a peculiar scratching noise at the rear of the car, and, stopping to investigate, was faced by the wome. e .,.

MeclInnis was the star at bat, driving in the winning run and also sending in Boston's first tally with a double in the sixth.

The bleachers filled with Meriden supporters, New Britain soon learned that they were in for a good “razzing” from the people and defeat from the players. The cards turned in the third inning for the lo- cals who were able to make three runs. Heavy Hitting Features Two baggers by O'Brien and Politis featured this inning. O’Brien knock- ed a pretty ball directly over third base to the extréeme end of the field where it struck the fence. Politis, Veley and O'Brien scored the first runs for the Hardware city.

It Politis Plays Well didn’t take long. to prove my theory. In the second or third game of the season a visiting player singled to right, a very ordinary hit, only to have the ball bound over the wall and into the right field pocket for a home run. - It nearly cost the Yankees the ball game. Manager Huggins admitted the freak possibilities in discussing the situation, but took the sportsman's view when he stated that it was all even, that the Yankees had the same chance as the visitors to profit. All would have probably been well had the breaks been even. Such has been far from the case. I am told that 18 freak, or perhups“ it would be better to call them joke, | home runs have been made at the| Yankee Stadium this year. I am also informed that of these 18 un- usual happenings only one has work- ed-to the advantage of the Yankees. | In 17 instances the visitors have pro- fited, and 'perhaps a half dozen de- feats have been chalked up agalnst‘ New York that were in a sense unde- served. This condition, while it hasn't been an even break for the Yankees, has worked for good. I understand the New York club prior to next spring will change the layout of the Yankee field in a most decided manner. By moving the home plate out 15 or 20 feet, the foul lines will be so changed that a drive into the bleachers will be a real home run. Incidentally the pocket in right field will be entirely removed by taking down some of the bleacher seats in that section and making the field much larger. If the Giants and the Yankees should again meet in the world ser- ies, freak home runs may play a prominent part in the result of the event. .Both parks are so arranged that often ordinary fly balls that should be easy outs drop into the stands for joke home runs. The con- templated changes at the Yankee field will not only greatly improve rhe‘ playing territory but make it better for the spectators to follow the play from big stands like those at the Yan- {kee park. | The Pirates will play the Kensing- ton téam in Kensington on Sunday, taking down the following men, ac~ cording to managers March's list: | Conway r. f., John Dheehan 3 b, Wier 1. f., Beagle 1 b., Politis p., Morelli 2 b, Hall c., Jaspas s s, Schmidt c. f, Meehan c., Huber p.| F.

Politis displayed a sweet brand of pitching and with O’Mara at catch, was one of the bright spots of the game. In the third inning Politis struck out three men in succession and again repeated this in the latter part of the game. McMurray was on second base when the game was call- ed but was replaced in the game by Rouski, who only recently returned to work after having been out sev- eral weeks with a broken leg.

THE STUDEBAKER LIGHT-SIX FIVE-PASSENGER TOURING CAR $995 130,000 Owners Know the Value of this Studebaker Every unit in the new 1924 Studebaker Light-S\x Touring Car has proved its depend- ability in public use. There are refinements and improvements, of course, but the underlying principles of design and construction which have made enthusiasts of 130,000 purchasers of this model in three years’ time, are not radically changed. In our opinion, the 1924 Light-Six stands out as the greatest value and closest approach to mechanical perfection in moderate priced cars yet produced. It is-practically free from vibration. Stude- baker accomplishes this largely by machining the crankshaft and connecting rods on all surfaces. This requires 61 precision opera- tions. It is an exclusive Studebaker practice on cars at this price—and is found only on a fewother cars—and they’re priced above $2500. Absence of vibration wvlnnp car life, causes slower depreciation, reduces the cost of operation and adds to the enjoyment of driving. The Light-Six motor embodies the most advanced design known to automobile con. struction. It represents an achievement in the manufacture of quality cars in big volume. Aside from its mechanical excellence, the Light-Six is handsome in design, extremely comfortable, sturdy and economical to operate just as. it is in initial cost. It is powerful, speedy, has a pick-up range that is seldom taxed and never exhausted, is easy to handle, and convenient to park. Its enameled all-steel , one-piece, rain- proof windshield, ten-inch cushions uphol- stered in genuine leather, and cowl lamps are among many features heretofore to be had only in higher priced cars. For 71 years the name Studebaker has stood for unfai!ing integrity, quality and value. 1 ventilator. New all-steel body h windshield with T ot three Siiss o weal sode. Sowe .
