[« o i A ¢ i y v (l v y ¥ » A k 4 » . id o L) ’ rd e 4 v Speaking of Sports { Excellent pitching and terrible fielding were the keynotes of the City league Saturday. Tommy Blanchard shut out the Robins with three hits, Huggie Carlson let the Rangers down with four, and Joe Casey held the Pirates’ bats well un- der control. Blanchard had a tough time of it because of flelding errors and in one inning had to fan three men in a row to keep runs away from the plate, and at that one of the strikeout victims- reached first on a dropped third strike. Carlson’s mates made eight errors and had him in constant hot water but he came through nicely. Casey helped lose his own game with a drop- ped throw. Wilson and “Kopchic” were not 80 bad either, for only one of the 16 West End runs was earned. Some players had terrible days. One was Speck Howard of the Pi- rates, who made four bobbles of ground balls. Another was Snetro of the Robins, who struck out three times and muffed the only three balls that came his way. Red Makula had a disgudting aft- ernoon trying to keep the Robin in- fleld together. He played with his head up all the way, but the rest of the team kicked the ball around with reckless abandon. In one in- ning, with men on second and third, Makula scooped up a hit and had both runmers trapped far off base. But Suess failed to cover third and Makula had to chase the runner himself, and then when Blanchard set out for the plate Red was oblig- ed to chase him instead. He finally threw to Mottola and Jake dropped the ball. Red was almost speech- less, but he became absolutely in- coherent when Mottola picked up the ball andith to the tennis courts in trying for the batter. Some of the teams seem to be adopting unsportsmanlike codes of ethics in regard to their players. A week ago a certain pitcher announc- ed as “Dito” for the Speedboys, and Sdturday he was in the box for the Robins under the name of “Kopchic.” He really is Alphonesse, a man listed officially by the Burritts. He isn't a colle an playing profassional ball, and the practice i lable to cause con- siderable trjukle if continned. Tt hasn't thus far because Alphonesse- Ditolli-Kopchic has been beaten in | every game he has pitched. The certainly gave a wierd exhibition in the Industrial league gam played at Willow Brook park Sat- urday afternon. The team got 18 hits to the Fafnir team's seven but could not win the game. This while their twirler, Bily Chant was allow- ing the seevn bingles, striking out 10 men and walking only two. The Union Works started off with three runs in the firs They added three more in the second and with three more in the fourth had a lead of 9 to 0, enough to have any team come through with a win. However, anything that the Fafnir team hit, went for a safety. Balls trickled through the infield that should have been easy putouts and when they were fielded, wild throws made the play seem worse. Coupled with a few hits at opportune times, the Fafnir team saved its hide and repu- tation by winning the game. Kensington ran into a pack of hard luck in the game against the Meriden Endees yesterday. Before the game, Bullick was clipped with a ball and although he played the game, he was not in proper form. Then in the eighth inning, “Yiggs" Patrus was standing on second to get a throw to catch Alexander stealing and as the Meriden man slid in, "Yiggs" touched him out | but his leg was ripped open by Alexander's spikes. A deep gash was cut ip the calf of his leg and when he came in to the Kensington bench, he toppled over in a faint. He was taken to the Meriden hospital where three stitches were found to be necessary to close the wound. He will proba- bly be out of the game for a week or so, He was taken to his home in th clty last night And no serious re- sults are expect from the injury. | Managers Pat Buckley and Joe Veniski, the former of Kensington and the latter of the Falcons, will maet tonight in the “Herald” office for a talkfest on a series hetween | the two teams. Both will probably | get away next Sunday and in some manner or other, the city cham- vionship may be decided this year. It may fall to the lot of the Ken- sington tribe to beat both the Fal- cons and Corbln Red Sox. | Tobin's outfit is scheduled to meet | the Riverview club of Norwich in | that city this coming Saturday and | Stafford Springs next Sunday. The So0x have become so popular in the ' eastern end of the state that they are called back there repeatedly. MAJOR LEAGUE LEADERS By the Associated Press. (Including games of Aug. 8.)
