Spéaking of Sports The rain Saturday noon almost prevented the City league from playing its games and made consid- erable difficulty for managers in rounding up players who believed that there would be nothing doing. ! Both 2 o'clock games had to be de- | layed a half hour to allow teams to | send out and muster the full nine | players: required, and the Pirates | and Robbins played without sub- | stitutes, being able to rout out just | the needed number. Quick dashed | to various parts of the city v\(‘re" made to round up several missing | players, while Manager Ken Saund- ers of the Pirates had the good luck to discover Huggie Carlson just as | the latter was turning into a theater | under the impression that there would be no game | Menjou Zaleski has pitching am- | bitions. He went from receiving to | throwng end of the baterg Saturday and performed creditably, showing plenty of stuff but not having it un- der proper control. Zaleski has too | much animation to spend a game | crouched behind the plate and says he wants to get out where there is more action. He will probably be | among the pitching candidates at the high school next spring. Zaleski had a funny one happen | to him in the second inning Satur- day. He tried to go all the way from | first to third on a sacrifice bunt and was caught far from the base by a | throw from Denton to Suess. Zale- | <ki and Suess collided violently, and | 2 ball rolled from the pile. In spite | of Umpire ;Hogan's ruling that he | was out, the Burritt catcher sat confidently on the bag and pointed to the loose ball. But Suess still had 'a ball in his hand and it developed that the extra one had fallen from Hogan's pocket during the play. In the sixth, Denton picked up Dalkow grounder and heat the runner to the bag, but he tossed the ball away, apaprently hefore he touched the base.. Larry Mangan called Dalkowski out, but he grin- ned and shook his head at the first acker as he did so and the crowd ve him a good-natured razzing. | Grail's home run puts the Burritt | 1 inager in the lead for circuit| clouts, he being the only player to have made two. His first was a fluke that landed inside of third and bounded into the road, but this was a clean smash to the other diamond. Klepacki also got one for the Bur- ritts, the funny part of it being that it was his second safe hit of the vear; at the last tabulation of aver- ages he was hitting exactly .063. The Rangers' victory was a sur- prise, for they have been a notori- ously weak batting team, vet they tied into the offerings of Pungratz, | who had subdued the slugging Bur- ritss, and made him quit Looking at some of the names in the box scores, we find that sev- eral players are still under the im- pression that the City league is a masquerade, | | It's a terrible thing for a team | to go to pieces and break the hearts of loyal supporters and it takes| tans with super loyalty to stick by | a team that gets a “goofy streak” | like the Kensiugton team did yes- | terday in the first game of a series | with the KFalcons, but watch next Sunday when Kensington goes at| the Corbin Red and see how | the Kensington team backers turn out to support their ball club. We suppose there are a thousand eacons that can be advanced for terrible showing that the Ken-| sington team, as a whole, played | vesterday but the most plausible | of them all must be the fact vers were all too much worked up, their nerves unstrung | and. consequently they werc beaten | before the game began. When Ray Begley goes bad; when a steady backstop like Sullick throws most all of them wild; when | an entire team of good baseball | players sink all together, it is| nerves and nothing else, that causes it. There isn't any excuse for the showing of the Kensingten team. Some of the fans say that the play- ers all have a “vellow streak” but | this we think, 18 wild talk. A | “yellow streak” in sport is some- | thing that is hard to define. But, we do not agree that the Kensing- ton players are to be, classed 1n‘ this category. ‘We believe rather that the entire team had an oft | day and our cdflfidence is placed in | the nine to make a great comeback | next Sunday and for the remainder of the season. | Because the Kensington team was | in such poor form, the fact rather | shades the victory taken by the | Falcons. The local team went down to the South End yesterday ready to win the ball game or die in the attempt and the boys who sport the uniforms of the local nest, took every opportunity to| bring in runs. It is even surpris- ing, considering the errors com- mitted by Pat Buckley's crew, that the score wasn't about 36 to 0. Kensington sympathy of Charlie Yale, the pitcher, deserves the all the fans. He worked hard vesterday even with the odds as great as they were against him and although he was touched up for 13 hits, there are a number of these that came in after errors had failed to give him his rightful number of | outs. | The cohdition of the Kensington diamond yesterday was something to marvel at The Kensington | players and the fans worked all| week long and late into the evening in the rain Saturday to get the dia mond in good shape and their ef- forts were well worth the compli- ments showered upon them. "There | wasn't a flaw in the infleld and the aDlaying surface was as smooth as it is possible to get a diamond any- | where, | Boston | Internationals Baseball Standing AMERICAN LEAGUE Games Yesterday New York 4-3, Boston St. Louis 11-4, Cleveland 7-6.
