They don't take him seriously and the con- sequence is they never give him as much credit as he deserves—or thlnks\ he does.” . Fans are indulgent of the baseball comedian’s pranks only to a limited extent, according to Stengel. In proof of this statement the Braves' veteran outfielder related a personal experi- ence of his Philadelphia days. The Phillics were playing the Glants, and the relative standing of the two teams was about the same as it is at present. In the particular game to which Stengel referred the Giants were lead- ing by an overwhelming margin and Casey decided he would inject a little humor into the uninteresting contest. When in the eighth inning a New York batter drove a iner straight at Stengel in right field Casey pretended not to see the ball and did not make a move to catch it until it was almost upon him, Just as it reached him he stuck out his gloved hand and snared ft. “I thought that would make the boys laugh,” Casey commented, “but all I heard was a bird in the right field stand yelling, ‘You big ham! Cut out that comedy and play ball. That's what's the matter with this ball club. It's so full of comedians there ain't room on it for ball players'. MAY NOT QUIT LEAGUE w is wi be th 3aschall Fans Are Mak- | save | | ing Desperate Attempt to Their Entry in State Circuit. At a meeting of the Willimantic last night a commitiee was drawn up and the following officers elected: | I'resident, John O'Rourke; vice-pres- ident, Alfred larviere; = seccretary, W. Hill; treasurer, George Gurley. The committee decided that Willi- mantic is to hive a baseball team re- gardless of whether or not it is a state league entry and planned to put $5,000 worth of scason tickets on ule today to carry on the baseball | team for the remainder of the sea- son. Officials of the American Thread | Athletic association gave it as their | opinion that the other teams of the | lcagne would be glad to welcome the | Willimantic team back into the lcague, On Thursday evening a mass meeting will be held in Lincoln to foster enthusiasm in the ball club and a tag day will be held in the near future.

[in the evening Tracy COBB WELL ON HIS WAY 10 SET ANOTHER MARK Peach” Well On Way To New Mark In Years of Getting 200 Hits, w= Ty Cobb, the Detroit manager, has accumulated more individual records than any player who has performed in the ma- Jor leagues and is still at it, During 19 yoars in the American league, Cobb carved his name as one of the im- mortals of baseball and when he sur- passed Hans Wagner's record of hav- ing batted ,300 or better for 17 sea~ son's (Cobb's mark now is 18) little more was expected of the Georgia Peach, The wear and tear of 19 campaigns in the major leagues Is supposed to slow up a player beyond the point of record-breaking abllity; in fact, the majority of players disappear from the big leagues long before that time, With all the laurels he has won and making new statistical records in every game this season, Cobb is on his way to another mark that has been on the books for séveral years— the consecutive year in which a play- er has mode 200 or more hits in a season, Willie Keelor, one of the most ex- pert batsmen of his day, turned the trick for eight consccutive season Cobb tied that mark last year, and this season has a fair chance of run- ning well above the century mark when the 1924 campalgn reached the half-way post, MANY ENTRIES FILED Detroit, July Numerous Athletes Will be on Hand at Policomen’s Games to be Held at Lighthouse Point, Although entries do not close un- til a week from this Saturday for the state-wide field day and athletic meet being given by the New Haven Police A, A Lighthouse Point on August 6, Chalrman Tom Tracy for the com- mittee in charge has announced that he has already received over a hun- dred entries from all over Conneeti- cut.
