Speakingg of Sports é In the Hartford-Waterbury game at Clarkin fleld yesterday, Tommy Comiskey, Hartford third-sacker, knocked Alex Schauffel, Waterbury catcher, to the ground while scor- ing on a close play. “That was a dirty, rotten trick, Comiskey,” a spectator called, but the majority of the crowd shouted to the third- acker that they held him blameless, and, in our opinion, they were right, because Comiskey was coming in at full speed and Schauffel was direct- Iy in his way, Ad Schinkel, Hartford's clean-up man, has finally taken his place among the five leading batsmen in the Eustern ldague. He is on a hit- ting spree and his average is clmb- ing like the mercury in the ther- mometer a few days ago. Schinkel is a slugger and belongs near the top. Jones, Hartford’s new center delder, is a better hitter than Genin, whom he has displaced, but he is not as fast as the former Albany flash, It looks as though he will stay, especially if he continues his clouting. Hartford’s double play pair, Krahe and Manager Sheridan, looks better in every game.: Sheridan’s second base play has improved greatly in the past few weeks. He now seems to have the knack of playing right for the various hitters and is stopping many balls that used to get past him by inches for safeties. The Waterbury Brasseoes, who al- most lost their home a few weeks ago, lack color. Jiggs Donahue, Shorty Demoe, Jerry Belanger, Ben- nie Helgeth, nlars are mighty good ball pla but as a team the outfit have no pep. The pla their turn at bat and do their stuff seemingly as if it is all in the' day’s work and that’s all. The same is true of their work in the field. Trouble is being caused in the Inter-Church 1 e by the desire of the crowd to watch the play too closely. The result is that the spectators, who turn out in large numbers when there is an impor- tant game on, crowd the base lines and make playing difficult. Catch- ers have complained that they can- not see either first or third base and cannot tell when base-runners are ng long leads or trying to steal. t and third basemen have alsc ade complaints that they cannot move around properly or go after fly balls, while infielders experience difficul n locating first base when they are about to throw there. It s0 bad Thu vy night that at various times some of the crowd were actually standing on first base, and efforts to drive them ba sulted in onl n managers and umpires should s on seeir that the players have sufficient space for playing, and if the crowd does not get back after repeated wa the umpire to call base-runner out. the batter or Although several games behind the leaders, the Hartford Senators [l e ill In the race. Right now Hartford has one of the best clubs in the league. The pitching staff, which has been weak all season, has improved but can still stand strengthening, and another catcher to relieve the hard working Knox would be a great help. ol oc- attend the w De- “Swat” McCabe, to former Connecticut is developing into a pretty fair um- pire. It is his first year on the job. We wonder if he realizes yet how the Connecticut league umpires used | to feel when he was on their necks in every close dcision.
