The Stanley Works bascball elub battle from the the Industrial took & pitchers' Landers team league yesterday afternoon at Wal- nut Hill park when the Workers nosed out a 5 to 4 win. Bill Chant was on the mound for the Univer- sals while Jack Scott heaved them over for the Workers. Both pitchers were nicked for five hits apiece. The Workers bunched their hits in the first frame and took a threc run lead. The Universals kept close behind them and. in the ninth threatened to overtake them when they chased across two runs. Their rally was cut short however hy sev- eral snappy plays by the Workers nfleld. Bunched hits in the first, eizhth and ninth gave the Workers their runs while the Landers team found the offerings of Scott in the first and \inth. John Parsons was the leading icker for the Workers and it was ‘ainly his blows which gave the wm the victory. Bill Chant got off to a bad start 4 the initial frame when Gzeen reached first when the Land- ers catcher dropped the last strike. He slipped two strikes across on Guida but on the next pitch Guida sent a long single to center Green going to third. Parsons immediately tripled to right sending two runners across the plate. Scroeder grounded in to Vincent and was thrown out at | first while Parsons scored from third. Stanley Works led with three runs. But the Universals were not to be outdone for Scott's offerings were to their liking in the first in- ning and they which brought them up quarters. Eddie Goeb worked Scott for a free ticket and scored when Nester slammed out a hard double to center. Vincent hit through sec- ond and Nester tallied. From then on to the eighth both Chant and Scott kept landing in safe territory. In the Stanley Works half of the eighth Scott doubled as a to Nester. Budnick batted for and was hit by a pitched hall F sons sent a high fly to right and Nester dropped the bail allowing Scott to cross the plate. Again in the ninth Liberti doubled and went to third while Doyle was being thrown out at first. Green's long sacrifice fly to Nester sent in the winning run. Landers made a bid for the game in the last frame but fell one run short. Charlow and Bucheri reached first on two errors. A long double to center off the bat of Maitz, bat- ting for Osterag, sent both runners across the plate. After that the Stanley Works inficld tightened and retired the side without further damage.

If there any lack of the old confidence in his re- fusal to meet the rugged Spaniard, Paulino, at that time or is the way to a return title bout with Gene Tun- ney being made easier for Dempsey by his agreement to fight the Shar- key-Maloney winner in August?” The switch from Paulino to Shar- y or Maloney as Dempsey's first— and only—major preliminary op- ponent is censidered good ‘bally- hoo" for tomorrow's Yankee stadium battle but it is mystifying to those had eight chances without an error |\ho have watched the “build-up” of , having one misplay on a wide throw | (e colorful Spaniard as a title con- | tender, Either Sharkey or Maloney, most critics agree, figures as @ more for- midable rival for Dempsey than the comparatively inexperienced but more rugged Paulino, but the Span- fard’s “color” and his drawing pow. jers have figured largely in Rickard's plans. There is yet the possibility that Paulfno and Jack Delaney may be matched, the winner to meet Sharkey or Maloney to determine Dempsey’s opponent but this seems only a possibility now in view of Rickard's altered plans, plus the di ulties in which Paulino and De- laney have become involved with the New York athletic commission. Yale's football rivals are willing to g0 half way with the Elis in abolish- ing organized “scouting” next fall, but apparently not all of them are convinced that it will work. Harvard, for instance, feels that it would be difticult to “muzzlc” tl old grads altogether and suggests that the coaches go a step further and exchange formations in order |that no suspicion may exist.

By the Associathd Press. New season records for the long- est and closest game, greatest num- | ber of homers hit and most victorles pitched marked the big league race | today as the pace grew faster and | faster. Boston and Chicago of the Na- | tional league played 22 innings be- | fore the Cubs finally won, 4 to 3, at Boston, while Babe Ruth slammed | out his ninth homer in a game against Detroit and Herb Pennock pitched his fifth victory in the same contest, which the Yankees won, 9 to 2. & It took four hours and 13 minutes to play that overgrown ball game at Boston. The same two teams bat- tled 18 innings Saturday and did not play Sunday or Monday, making | a total of 40 innings in two con- | secutive games. | The record for long games is held ! by the same Boston outfit, jointly with Brooklyn, as the two played 26 {innings in the Bean city seven years ago . | "“Bob Osborn was the hero of this 22 inning struggle as he took the ibox for Chicago in the ninth and held the Braves to six hits. For 14 innings—from tlie seventh to the twenty-sccond—the rivals battled | without a score by either team. | Grimm’s single with a man on base | | finally ended it. Despite the strain | of such a game the Cubs made only one error and the Warriors two. Not |a hit went for more than two bases.
