By the Associated Prees. Smashing victories by the Cardi- nals and Yankees left no doubt in the minds of fans today that the leaders of the major leagues have pitching power as well as slugging force. ) One of the finest hurling ('x)‘nmvi tions seen this vear in either league was turned in by a Redbird, Flint Charles Rhem, as he held the Robins to just two hits for a 5 to 1| Cardinal win at Brooklyn. Three of his team's runs were scored on two ! i 1 ‘homers by his hard walloping mate, Chick Hafey. | While the Cards were showing the | east what kind of baseball it was | that won them a world crown in |, 1926, the Yanks were hammering home a lesson of their own in how | to win a pennant. | For the second time in two day the Hugmen blanked the White Sox at Chicago, the burden of their vic- tory being borne on the broad shoulders of the competent Waite Hoyt. Backed by errorless flelding | and the vicious hitting of his mates, | the veteran held the White Sox to | nine scattered hits for 2 9 to 0 win. | ¢ No Yankee game is complete with- out its homer so Catcher Pat Collins stepped up in the seventh and | bounced one into the left ficld bleachers. | In others of ths White Sox games | & this year the day has been saved when all seemed lost by the timely insertion of Connally, star relief man, in the pitcher's box. But even | that failed this time and it was Con- nally's tast one that Collins knocked for the loop. To maks it two for New York over Chicago the Gants at the same time were nosing out a closing 5 to 4 decision In their game at the Polo Gropnds with the Cubs. Until Terry doubled in the ninth and drove Roush home the game was any- body's. Detroit'’s 3 to decision over the Red Sox also was won in the ninth when Marty McManus singled with the bases filled. The svest was victorious over east- ern foes in both the other games played. The Cleveland Indians who are next to last in the American | league standings reached up to make it two straight over the Phil-| adelphia Athletics who are second in the race. A fumble by the veter- an Eddie Collins helped the home team to its victory, 4 to 2. The St. Louis Browns, sixth in the ranking, toppled the fourth place Senators, 8 to 3, to square their scries at nnc1 all. Two fine individual records came | to an end as Fothergill of the| Tigers, for the first time in 18 games, | falled to make a hit, and TFrank Frisch of the Cards made his first error in 19 games by throwing wild to first. The international flavor of the battles now being waged brought out huge crowds everywhere, . the Yankee-White Sox team at Chicago drawing 52,000 and setting a new record for Comiskey park.

It was a fitting cnd to one of the closest contested meets of re- cent years, both teams being even- Iy matched. First honors were even- | ly divided, with each team taking| six first places. Thelr equal slronmh; in both the dash and fleld events, made both teams fight hard for vic- tory, but, with the basketball sea Ison still rankling in the minds of the locals, South Manchester was. 'l overcome by the great fight of the Red and Gold team. Two of the basketball men, McGrath and Matulis, were prominent in the acor- | ing of New Dritain. “Red” Matulls, star four letter | man last year and captain of this| | year's baseball team, captured fir in the javelin and second in the dis- cus to win four letters in one season | for the sccond successive year. It | {was the first time that Matulis ever handled a favelin, he entered the event just to fill in. The diminutive Yahm of the locals also showed | great work for the Red and Gold, broad jump and second in the 220 yard dash. The locals showed great improve- ment in the field events and should | be a well balanced team by the time of the Triangular meet. With only the relay and the jave- lin events left the team felt dis- couraged for it had not succeeded in 0 doing much in the javelin event so far this scason. Tt felt confident that | it would win the relay race, but if | South Manchester High school which already had a one point lead | should take all javelin throw suak. As Matulis stepped out with the favelin in his dukes, the rest of the team begged him to “do it,” and he 41d. He took first place which | amounted to five points. This put w FBritaln ahead by four polnts. However, South Manchester captur- ed the remaining two places amouriving to four points and the score s tied as the rclay team lined up for the final event on the card. This team conslsting of Lines, McGrath, Zehrer, and Szabo came through strongly in a hotly contest- ed race. The meet was attended by one of the biggest crowds of the scason | which was treated to a great match. | Summary: 100 yard dash—won by Szabo (N. B.): Buchland (M), second Sheriden (M.), third.

The All-Kensington baseball team was defeated in the first two starts of the season Saturday and Sunday, being blanked by the Falcons § to 0 on the home grounds Saturday and losing 8 to 2 in Willimantic yester- | day. Lack of play under fire would | scem to be the reason for the defeat at the hands of the Falcon team on Saturday. The Kensington team was sadly lacking in abllity to hit the slants of Russ Fisher who was pitch- ing for the Talcons. ‘“Ginger" Cleary was {ll with the grip and couldn't work Saturday or yester- |day. | Bucholz and TFisher engaged in a ptiching duel with tlfe F man having the edge. her allow- ed only five hits and struck out cight men while Buck was touched up for eight hits and struck out only three. Two glaring errors by DeVito on comparatively easy balls in the first inning gave the Falcons an edge which they held throughcut the same. Kensington threatened to score in the sixth and ninth but couldn’t de- (liver the necessary hit to bring the runners in. Willie Wojack started in the first by walking. “Chucky” dribbled one to shortstop that looked good for a couble play dut DeVito missed the | ball completely and both runners were safe, one at third and the| other at second. Shechan hit to Bucholz and was out at first. Stan-| ley Budnick hit an easy bounder to DeVito at short but the ball went cleanly through his legs and two men scored. Singles by Frank Wojack and Frankie Sheehan and a sacrifice fly to right field brought in another in the third. Two meore counted in the sixth when Stanley and Si Budnick ringled in a row and Klatka sent a long double down the left fleld line, Konsington made feeble attempts | to get men around the bases but Fisher's slants fooled the batters all | through the game. Snyder hit a long double the first time up but died on second. He got to third after a neat bunt in the sixth but died there when McCormick whiffed for the third out. Jasper got to third in the ninth | when he was hit and Warren doubled but both men died when S‘dlud; fanned the breeze, The other games in the series be- tween the two should be hard battles as both teams showed nruch promi Saturday though rough in spots. | Star head” Budnick of the Falcons was easily the fielding sensation of both teams, He was everywhere on the diamond and had eight chawces without an error. DeVito turned in a ficlding gem when he raced into left fleld for “Chucky” Wojack's fly. Ziegler who replaced McCormack in left field in the seventh, turned in three circus catches in left ficld, go- ing into the brook fcr the three of them, of the ones he made In the series last | year. Ior the first game of the year, the teams staged a pretty battle and it | goes without saying that the next time they meet, on some date next month, both will be og (heir toes for a hard battle.

Loses to Willimafitic % The Kensington team suffered the second feverse of the week-end when it emerged on the short end of an B to 2 score aganist the Weat Sides of Willlmantic in the Thread Clty yesterday afternoon. The South end aggregation faced mid-summer pitching from Farrell of the opposing team and secured only three hits during the game all of them singles. Jack Scott, former mainstay of the Besse-Leland team of this city, made his first start of the year but was touched up for 13 hits, five of them for extra bases. Kensington barely escaped a sec- ond white washing by scoring two runs in the ninth. The Willimantle team started off by scoring two in the first, two more in the third, one in the fourth and three in the seve enth. The Thread City batters found Scott's offerings to their liking and they pounded the ball consistently. Five errors helped to lose the game for the Kensington team. The blobs came at critical times and |either served to allow runs to cross {the plate or else put the pitcher in a hole from which he was unable to extricate himself. Farrell of the West Sides shone at bat getting two triples while Beg- ley was the only Kensington man who could solve his slants. Beg hit perfectly for the day, getting two out of two.
