NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1926. 13y Speaking :of Sports [ossessasesseoraiaasead “Gus” Schinkel, Hartford out- flelder and one of the five leading hitters in the Eastern league, threw the fans at Clarkin fleld yesterday into a frénzy of excltement when he ran from his position at the close of the first game of the double header with Albany, and seizing Manager “Bill” McCorry of the Law- makers by the neck, pulled him off the bench, and threatened to punch him. Players of both teams gather- ed around and had to pull Schinkel away. McCorry, a fighting player If ever there was one, did not run, although his face was white as chalk—possibly from anger, possibly something else—who know 1333 34 The near-fight started when Mc- Corry, pitching for Albany, sent in a fast one that struck Schinkel's bat near the handle. Shaking his fin- ger warningly, Schinkel said some- thing to McCorry and McCorry made reply. There were two strikes on Schinkel, and McCorry, taking ad- vantage of the big fellow's frame of mind, whizzed another one over and Schinkel whiffed, Trotting out to his position, Schinkel again shook his finger at McCorry and warned him, As the put-out was made, Schinkel, stufting his glove Into his hip pocket, came in on the run to Albany bench and pulled his for- mer boss out. In an Instant there was a hubbub, some of the fans ealling to Schinkel to “kill hiia,” while others, evidently in sympathy with McCorry, encouraged him to “take a shot at him Bill.” Umpire ss pushed Schinkel away, and hinkel pushed him back and breaking loose, went baclk after Mc- Corry. In the second game, McCorry and inkel were opposing left field- and neither spoke to the other, hinkel apparently having regained his “goat.” It seems Jrom the andstand, that the attack by GL!JHI\V\ was uncalled for, but of Course we recall that Schinkel was ot on speaking terms with Mc- Corry prior to his transfer to Hart- rd in exchange for Moe Solomon, and in all probability an old feud between the big fellow and his for- mer boss was resurrected in Schin- kel's mind when the pitched ball came close to hitting him. Umpire Glaas was in poor form in yesterday's game, and took an un- merciful riding from the fans. In the second game, with Harry Hesse pinch hitting, the first pitch was right across the center of the pan and the umpire called it a strike. Lynch pitched two more balls and was surprised to hear the umpire declare the count three balls and no strikes. Mangum, Hartford catcher, told Lynch about it, and the big pitcher exclaimed, “What, three and two. Why, vou call the first pitch a strike and I've only since then.” “No, I didn’t call it a strike, I called it a ball,” the um- pire retorted. Hesse, with a broad grin, accepted a pass on the next A1 it turned out, the umpi lapse of memory had no effect the score. on “Moe"” Solomon, Albany sacker, who is usually a well haved player on the fleld, was after Umpire Glass’ goat all afternoon. He got it too, but if “Red” Rorty, “Bull” Brown or some of the other impires were on the job, Solomon would have got more than their goat first be- He pulled a kid's end of the second game, W took a new ball to the bench with him instead of the practice ball The umpire saw it, and Jim Clarkin, from the grandstand, saw it, too, and called to Solomon to return the new ball, Umpire Glass ran over to the dugout and took the ball out of | Solomon’s hand, whereupon Solo- mon, in a burst of temper, trailed Glass out onto the field and called him the vilest name a man can put his tongue to. Glass must have heard it. It was plainly audible in the gragdstand. It called for ac- tion, but Glass calmly walked awa leaving Solomon all puffed up in the knowledge of his conquest over the official who is supposed to be boss of the game. In spite of the fact that the New | Britain and Meriden police teams did not play yesterday afternoon, the local cops had two rooters on the field. Fred and Carl Rittner, un- aware of the cancellation of the , left here about 3 o'clock and e all previous speed records of their flivver in a mad dash to Han- over park. They arrived to find an empty diamond and were much chagrined to be told the truth by a youngster standing nearl As if that were not enough, hey tore home, changed their clothes, and hurried down to Willow Brook park for a scheduled church league game, only to find, after a half hour of waiting, that this, too, had been called off while they were on their wild goose chase to the Silver City. Some kicks are being raised about the promiscuous postponing of games in the church league. Things have come to a pass where some managers call off the evening's game if they find a heavy dew on the ground when the arise in the morning. It is getting late in the scason, after-supper hours of day- light are growing fewer, and every effort should be made to play off contests as soon as possible if the league is to be wound up before flies. There are times when it s far too wet to Blay, but a few minutes of moisture during the day are hardly enough to call for post- ponement. Several of the teams have also been taking advantage of the good nature of ~others by postponing game swhen men are out of town on vacation. These are in the minority, however, and most of the contestants have been good enough sports to play without the services of vacationlsts. | putting up a stellar game in lert | TAPATKA NOW REAL thrown two | field for the Waterbury team of the | mechanical department association of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad this season. The Waterbury team defeated the Hart- ford team in a contest for a cup last Tuesday and Johnkoski was a factor in the victory. The Water- burians will go to Boston on Sep- tember 11 and play for the cham- plonship of the Lines West division. Although no date has been set for the game between the New Brit- ain and Meriden police department teams, word comes from Meriden that the contest will probably be played next Wednesday afternoon. Manager Scheurer of the Meriden team hasn’t stated when the game will be staged, but next Wednesday seems to be the logical date. Report has it that “Chucky” Wo. jack is home again from Bingham- ton, N. Y.. This time, it is said, the club was making no money and for that reason several of the players on the team were let go. Tt tainly has been a rough voyage for the local boy this year. Landers blanked the Union Works last night in a postponed Industrial game and although two con- re scheduled for tonight, it t appear at the present writ- s if it will be possible to play any games because of the rain and the resultant condition of the dia- monds. The Union Works and R. & E. are cheduled to play tomorrow night at Walnut Hill park. Although several games, in fact five, were to be play- ed off this week which is the last on the regular schedule last night's game was the only one thus far. Even at that this only went six in- nings before it was found necessary to call the contest off. Baseball Standing AMERICAN LEAGUE Games Yesterday Cleveland 6, New York 0. Detroit 11-7, Boston 4-6.
