* bow distance of it at all times in SEEHELB000005500060 66005 | Speaking of Sports Frankie Portell of Hartford ran into a snag in the state lightweight elimination tournament started last night in New Haven when he lost to Tommy Jarrett of New Haven on | a technical knockout in the second round. Portell and his backers objected strenuously when Referes Henry Gerrity of Bridgeport stepped in and stopped the fight after Portell had been knocked down. The sudden ending of the bout was one of the most surprising up- sets in some years in Connecticut boxing. Georgie Day of New Haven and Frankie Mack of Hartford fought 10 rounds to a draw on the same card. Sheik Leonard knocked out Johnny Saxon of Bridgeport in the ecight and last round of their bout. Sharkey's victory over Maloney was impressive if quick last night. A large crowd of fight fans turned out in front of the *“Herald” to listen to the returns and they enjoyed the service. In order, not to keep the listeners waiting, the announcer gave the result of the fight before the detailed account was finished. This caused confusion and many went away thinking that the knock- out came in the fourth {nstead of the fifth round. Sharkey will now be slated to meet Jack Dempsey for a chance at the heavyweight title held by Gene Tunney. Tunney watched Sharkey in action last night and there isn’t any doubt whatever but that he must have been impressed. The Boston Lithuanian showed much more cleverness than his Irish opponent. Accounts of the fight telt how Sharkey “razzed” Maloney all through the fight and spat at him continuously. There was certalnly very bad feeling between the two but last night's fight certainly ended In a de- cisive manner. Westill have two letters on flle here, one for the manager of the Orioles and the other for the man- ager of the Speedboys. It the men in question wish these missives, we would aK them to call at the sports desk in the “Herald” and get them. We will hold them for about an- other week. HENSINGTON TEAM TOPLAY SPARTANS Hartlord Club Has -Strong Ag- gregatiom of Star Players The All-Kensington baseball team will meet the Spartan A. C. team of Hartford at the Percival avenue grounds tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. The Hartford team has or- ®anized a strong combination this vear that will make plenty of trou- ble for the South End team. “Babe” Murray, last year's catch- ing star with the Corbin Red Sox, will do the backstopping for the Capital City team tomorrow. Ellhers. or Russ Fisher will occupy the pitch- ing box. The infield will be made up of “tSar” Kelly on.first, Magee on second, Dixon at short and Quinn 4t third, Quigley, Soule and Mur- ray will cover the outfield. These players are all well known to followers of the diamond pastime. Babe and Tommy Murphy have ap- peared in this city on many oc- casions while Soule, Dixon, Fisher, Puigley, Kelly and Quinn have played with various teams in the last few seasons in and about Hart- ford. Manager Dan Malarney of the Kensington team will ,use Matty Hayes#In the catching berth tomor- row with Jack Scott or Charley Yale serving them up. Begley or Warren will be on first, Patrua on second, Jasper on short and George Fields on third. The outfleld will be chosen from among the following: ormick, Ziegler, Wendroski, Greco and Blesso. The Kensington team will be greatly strengthened by the return of Fields to the lincup. Last sea- son Filds played a scintillating game at third and was the star of the city series which the Kensington team won hands down. He was for- bidden to play baseball because of a weak heart but a recent examination showed him to be almost perfect physically The bus service for patrons from New Britaln will be furnished as usual tomorrow from Upson’s corner to the ball park and a large crowd is expected to turn out.

What is consirued as a wild pitch? 3. Pitcher atrikes out batter who reaches first base because of fail- ure of cateher to hold third strike, is pitcher credited with a strikeout? 4. Fielder throws ball a trifle wide to first baseman but it arrives in plenty of time to retire batsman but first baseman fails to touch tirst base. How s it scored? 5. Runner deliberately knocks ball out of hands of fielder about to touch him, what is the proper decision? THIS TELLS IT 1. Batsman always receives credit for a base hit on such a play, regardless of the status of the game at the time. 2. It 1s & legally delivered ball. 50 high, low or wide of the plate, that the catcher is unable to stop it, and thereby permits a batsman to reach first or a runner to ad- vance. 3. Pitcher 1is credited with strikeout, regardless of whether the bastman is retired. 4. Under such conditions, charg- ing the first baseman with an er- ror would be the usual way of scoring the play. 6. Umpire should immediately call such baserunner out. MOHAWKS WIN AGAIN The Mohawks again defeated the Young Yankees vesterday, thia time by the score of 14 to 18, Both teams fought hard to win with the winners having the edge. Donnelly sent out a hit in the last inning with two men on that won the game NEW BRITAIN We've discovered & new game which beats almost anything we've played yet. All one has to do is| gather one's fishing tackle together | and journey to McMahon Pond in| Kensington. Arriving there at about 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon, pne should fish in an endeavor to c&chl some of those 18 inch trout that Harold Dykin is reported to be pull- | ing out of there. Then one gets tired ©of just standing there and one fishes down the outlet brook to the barb- ed wire fence and “up the inlet | brook until one gets tired of it. This procesdure will net the average fisherman three feeble bites and one | four inch trout which will be re-| turned with gentle hands. The game | now begins, at 5 o'clock. | Gathering a few congenial souls| ‘who are tired of just standing on the bank the rules are explained as| follows: Each contestant will put in E the pot five cents in American cur- rency. Each contestant will then lower his bait into the water near the ice house chute.
