NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1926. EXPECT GREATEST FINISH EVER SEEN International Leagne Teams Turning Into the Stretch New York, Aug. 14 (P—Interna- tional league teams are turning in- to the stretch with the prospect of the greatest finish the circuit has seen in years. In the past seven seasons Jack Dunn’s Baltimore Orioles have tak- en wing long before this stage and have arrived at the wire far in the van but today only three games separate Buffalo, in fourth place, and Baltimere in first. Four per- centage points span the positions occupied by Baltimere, Newark and Toronto. Buffalo leads the circuit in team hitting with .307, and Rochester, fifth in the standing and apparently outelassed, stands second with .3086. Then ecome Newark, Toronto and Baltimere in that order. Buffalo also tops the field in the scoring of runs, 827 Bisons having rushed across the plate in front ef 1317 safe hits, while Baltimore has produced 806 tallies on 1200 safeties, Official figures including games of Wednesday show Lou Fonseca, for- mer National league infielder out in front of the individual sluggers with a percentage of .396, a lone point better than the figures obtained by Jimmy Walsh® of Buffalo, who led the ecircuit for several weeks. Other leading hitters are: Head, of Rochester, .364; Murphy, Rochester, 6; Walker, Baltimore-Toronto, 6; Mullen, Toronto, .354; Layne, | Toronto, .348; Sheedy, Baltimore, .8343; Clark, Syracuse, .345. Fonseca has become a very prom- inent figure in the race.

Exples stituted only a small part of its out- put, which included asricultural, textile and other machinery. Seme 16,000 workers were employed by ths concern. All these will be fdle ter some months, pending recon- struction of the plant, Cause of tha explosien is still un- dstermined. Government experts are inclined to faver the hypothesis of spontaneeys combustion due to slow decomposition of the explosive There are, however, rumors varying with pelitical epinions, as tg the eause of the explosion. Radici herents assert that an explosion oc- curred among stores kept hidden plant. On the other hand the cen- servatives declare that communists detonated the explosives because of the government having sentenced a number of communists to jail for eight years for an attempt to get up a communist dictatorship in Hun- gary.
