Spieaki-ng' of Sports The Corbin Red Sox will find the Meriden National Guard nine a tough nut to crack when they go down to the Silver City Sunday. ‘The Meriden- ites have a good team—but Tobin's | hunch also looks middling fair -for | this time of the year, Connie Mack surely is a glutton for punishment. His team dropped its ninth straight yesterday and is now | up to its neck in the mire of the icague ‘cellar. ‘Washington humbled the flashy Ited Sox yesterday and.brought their winning streak to'an abrupt termina- tion, George Sisler & Co., now Jjs in tie for fourth place. The Browns are sailing along in nice style now. By beating the Phils in an overtime game, the Giants yesterday managed ‘o ‘retain a looscning grip on first place. They now are half a game ahead of the Reds. | By hitting when hits meant runs, | the Trinity baseball team yesterday | vefeated Clark university 11 to 9. | Arnoys showed fine form last night | when he surprised the fans by I)m\!lng | Bud Fisher of Hartford. | Tufts defeated the Connecticut Ag- gies 8 to 4 yesterday. Two out in the ninth, the bases fill- | ed and the score tied! What an op- | portunity.

Whether or climbs to the top and gains the pur. ple of a world’'s champion, he can look forward to a profitable and lengthy pueriod of time in whieh he will continue to be a stellar box office aftraction in Connecticut, and, after all, the box office value of a battier is what really counts.

The first unassisted triple play re- corded in the baseball dope books is! said to have been made by Paul Hines |at Providence on May §, 1878, How- | ever, there is some doubt as to the “unassisted” element of the play. | | The New York Clipper was the base- | (ball authority in those days, and in| {its issue of May 8§, 1875, its report o[ this particular game reads as fol- | {lows: “In the eighth inning O' lmurko made the first run for the visitors off [ which is keeping |Olympic Games Have PITGHERS’ BATILE lwcmng OId Ball in Play Is Great | Asset to Hurlers, Declares Big un‘ Walsh. May 8. — The new rule the old bell in play as long as possible is giving pitchers | more effectiveness, according to “Big 134" Walsh, veteran spitball star, and now first licutenant to Manager John- | ny Evers of the Chicago White Sox. “Good pitching is not a thing of the past,” said Walsh, “this new genera- tion of pitchers is going to turn out as many stars as the old days and the | 1ule to keep the balls in play as long | as possible is a big help to the new- | comers. When they were shooting that new ball into the game every time it became the least bit soiled or some batter lodged a complaint, it was pretty tough on the fellows to | strike his stride and many a rDOHP‘ went back to the bushes before he got air start, “The lively ball, and so many of them new, tossed into the game, was largely responsible for the heavy hit- ting and'the home run epidemic. When you look back into the old days you will not find so many home runs. Runs came home on singles, and fast lLase running was a big factor. The cld sacrifice, the stolen base, and gen- eral inside stuff, won most of the ball games, “In the old days a pitcher turned in a lot more games than some of the fellows of today, but that's not the fault of the present day twirlers. He may be just as good as the old timer, | and just as willing to work, but he doesn’t get into the game as often.” Chicago, No Aviation Meet Paris, May 8.—The Olympic games include no aerial events, but the fly- ing fans are determined not to let such an occasion pass without a mani- testation, says I.'Auto, Accordingly there will be a grand meet at Vin- cennes on June § and 9, including a race for alrplanes of not more than 130 horsepower, competition for ac- robatic flying and an event involving skiful pursuit and destruction of small balloons. {Gardner Is Unable To Enter Tennis Meet | errors, leaving Manning and Sutton lon the bases.

Profit to the Buyer It Is Bound Up ini the Finer Quality of Hupmobile Parts Hupmobile could not use materials less fine—and still be Hupmobile. For the very heart and soul of Hupmobile success is the way it stands up—year after year—at astonishing low cost. Let it try to cheapen any of its finely built parts and it would at once lose that superiority. So in the end, it would not profit the buyer. The motor car question, as we seeit,comes down to this. The buyer can pay the Hupmobile price, safe in * the assurance that a higl price cannot bring him any= thing higher than the Hup- mobile in honest quality. Or; he can pay less and content himself with less than Hupmobile quality and satisfaction.
