SPITTITTIIIIIINISe. ) Speaking of Sports Manager John Tobin of the Cor- bin Red Sox is making plans to play t Sunday afternoon at the New Britain Machine baseball diamond at the foot of Cedar Hill since no agreement has been reached between the three teams involved in the City Champlonship play. Tobin states that he had an op- portunity to take over the Pioneer diamond at the beginning pf the season as a home grounds but he didn’t think it was fair to either the Falcons or the Kensington teams dark-clouds that them. now encompass Landers met unexpected oppoi- tion in the Industrial league Satur- day afternoon at Willow Brook and it was only through sheer good for- tune that they did not lose the game. - Breaks saved the team on more than one occasion and the bat- tle was surely worth seeing. ‘Baseball Standing : AMERICAN LEAGUE . _Games Yesterday New York 8, Chicago 4.

This will be carrying out his side of the agreement. the the But, despite this, are ‘of opinion and also we hope that next twg or three days will see things cleared up and the series get going. This wrangle at the present time seems to be serious, but we know and feel that the various teams will submerge theip own differences in the feeling that the sporting pub- we lic of this city wants to see the ieams in action. There has been some heated dis- cussion about the latest tieup con- cerning the city championship and | a lot of fans are condeming the Fal- cons for their stand in the matter. No one can say but that the Fal- cons are following out their plans in putting forth their proposi- tions. They feel that they are going into a proposition that wouldn't give them a fair return for the effort and expense they have been putting forth in playing base- ball this year. It is not for us or anyone else to condemn them before this matter is entirely understood. We don't believe for one minute that the Falcons are afraid to play any team in this city. It is simply a business proposition, in their minds and not one of whether they can or can’t beat the Red Sox. They know their own business better than any- one else and if they want to call off the city series, sorry as many of the fans will be, it ds the business of tiie Falcons and no*one else, Still, we string along with a lot of others who cannot believe that the city series is all done. We ad- here to the old time adage that s something to the effect that a pro- position which is s ems a different one than it ap- peared. The mix-up which ended the Bur- ritt-Pirate game Saturday il have to be settled at a league meeting. Tt was a wild finish. loaded and one out. Huggie Carlson singled to score two runs, but Za- patka was caught at third and Marsh appeared to wave out when the ball was whipped to | second to get him. The umpire, however, said he had called Huggie | safe, but this misunderstanding was swallowed in a greater one an in- stant late when Partyka used the excitement to work the hidden ball play and touched Carlson off the base. Marsh was fooled as much nvk Carlson and “admitted he had not | seen the play, ruling the runner | safe. Mike Lynch came out from be- | hind the bat and called Carlson out, | and the Pirates protested on the ground that Lynch could not | change Marsh's decision. | The rules state: “In case the cap- | tain does seek a reversal of the de- | ciston ... ..., the umpire mak- ! ing the decision shall, if he is in doube, ask his associate for informa- | tion before acting on the captain’s appeal. Under no circumstances shall either umpire criticize or i terfere with a decision unless asked to do so by his assoclates.” It thus appears that the validity of the pro- test hangs on whether Lynch acted on his own, responsibility or was asked for advice by Marsh. Not knowing what the umpires said dur- | ing their short talk on the play, we can’t say which is the case. Home runs and near home runs were frequent Saturday. Cowles and Jarnot made real ones, terrific drives. Willie Roy, cherubic catch- er of the Robins, also hit one, but his lumbering gait carried him only to second on a drive which went cuear to the other diamond. Yan- kaskas of the Pirates lashed out a wicked one down the foul line and careened madly around the bases, only to find when he reached the plate that it was a foul ball. Wind- ed and disheartened, he fanned on the next pitch. Carlson did all the freak things possible fot a pitcher. In addition to a palr of wild pitches, he also made a balk and even had a “ball” called for delaying. But he finally stop- ped the smashing attack of the Bur- ritts and punctured several top- heavy batting” averages. “Red"” Campbell broke loose again Saturday and drove out three hits for the West Ends, his third safety bringing in the winning run in the eighth ining. “Red,” who has been playing ball in New Britain so loag that no one knows just how long own | With the bases | Carlson | Greenwood Lake, N, Y., Aug. 2 () Games Today New York at Chicago.
