GLOBE CLOTHING HOUSE Speaking of Sports They call Johnny Dundee a freak | fighter, but probably, that's on ac- count of his willingness to fight once | he he gets Into the ring. One of these days the baseball ex- | perts will overreach themselves and | actually trade Rogers Hornsby. Statistics show that a tennis play- er will run five miles In playing five sets-~yet they say it's a tame game. That is, those who do not play. A visitor from the west coast sends | in this one: “I note by the papers that Gouven- eur Morris, the author, claims to have shot the Del Monte course (Calif.) in 65. 1 need not remark that Mr. Mor- ris specializes In fiction.” Patrick Shugrue of 318 Baldwin street, Waterbury, is manager of the American Crystal Five and wants to talk turkey with some New Britain manager.

DR Previously Quinn had been on the inside to Brower so would hit the ball down the line, in| the direction of where Burns ‘was| playing. Notified that Quinn was go- ing to pitch oulside, Burns changed his position by taking several steps in the direction of second. Quinn's next offering, instcad of being outside, as intended, was almost through the middie of the plate. Brower hit the ball on a line into Burns' hands. Both runners had started with the pitch.
