By the Associated Press. Rounding out a complets swing | of their circuits, the big league base- | were back in their respective sec- | tions today with a firm idea of the kind of baseball produced by every other team in their leagues. | Standings meant even more than usual today as every club had met | every other club and the pennnant ‘ontenders had shaken down into something like the order in which | they may finish in the fall-—unless one of those periodical baseball carthquakes ocen The New York Yankees still led the American league after a tri- umphant tour of the west which | came to a close vesterday with 7 to 2 victory over Cleveland for their tenth win in 13 starts. Plttsburgh ascended the heights in the National circuit after a brief reign by the Chicago Cubs. To do it Corsairs scuttled the Giants, | erstwhile leaders of the league. for | the fourth time in a row, 9 to 4, while the Cubs were en into | camp by the Reds at Cincinnati, 8| i | to 4. ! Babe Ruth of the league-leading | Yanks celebrated his last game in | the west for some time by knocking | his tenth home run of the season and taking the lead over his near- | L est competitors, Lou Gehrig, his Yank mate, and Cy Williams, Philly veteran. Urban Shocker of the | Yanks had a shutout in his grip un- til the eighth when the Indians scored their two runs. Not only did the Pirate victory send them to the top of the ladder, but it marked the first time this vear that a club has made a clean | (/N sweep of a Glant series. For the | second time in the series Vie Aldridge pitched the victory, aided | s by strong hitting and fielding. New | York thereby dropped to third place | behind the Cubs. The powerful Chicago club was outslugged by the Reds in the game that broke their winning streak of six games. Cincinnati totalled 15 hits and knocked Charley Root out | of the pox. | Even harder slugging was turned | in by the Brooklyn Robins. As they walloped three Philadelphia pitch- | ers for 22 hits and a 20 to 4 victory. Flatbush fans were wishing a few of those runs might be canned and pre- served for future use. Another strand was added to the St. Louis Browns' string of victor- | ies in a ninth inning triumph over the Boston Red Sox, 6 to 5, seven wins in their last eight games at home. Detroit drew a tie with Washington, when Manush hit a homer in the ninth, just before the Senators had to leave to catch a train home. Howard Ehmke was the reason why the Athletics wound up their | tour with a 6 to 1 win over the| White Sox as he held the home team's bats to just five scattered | hits, Ty Cobb failed to hit safely | for the first time in 21 consecutive | games.

OQutside of this team's remarkable play, the race was a close one. Threo teams came in tied for second place while the others were bunched in close order. The play Saturday showed all the golfers to be in ex- cellent form despite the enforced layoff during the week. There were 40 entries in the tournament and all but one team passed in their cards. The names of the members of the team commit- ting the error ars.omitted purposely because of extenuating circum- stances. It is said that the excite- ment attendant on the flight of Cap- tain Charles Lindbergh to Paris and the appearance of the Los Angeles over the hills, served to make avia- tors of the quartet playing and the scores reached a record for high shooting and for this reason, the members are excused for their de- falcation from the ranks. Ted Hart just missed either tying or beating W. J. Swecney's course record of 79. He started out with this purpose in mind and to his partners it appecared as if he was going to make it. He shot the first three holes in 445 making it an even par. He scored birdies on the next three with a count of 3532, The third trio was scored in 563 which is one over par but it gave him a score of 35 on the out nine or two under par. When he shot the first three holes on the upper nine in 434, his at- tempt looked mighty good. He kept up the good work on the next three shooting 344 which is one over par. He had to get a birdie to do the trick and then the strain became too much. He got nervous and shot the last three in 455 giving him par for the course with 71 but spoiling his chances of tying the course record. The weatherman became con- science stricken over the week-end and repented long enough to give the golfers almost perfect weather. One of the prettiest sights ever seen at the course was the ability of the players to look down through the gulch which extends in the direction of New York and see the silver lined Los Angeles looming over the hills. Play was interrupted for more than 15 minutes. Again Sunday morning as 12 planes swept through the sky on the way to New York, the golf- | ers all stopped to watch them pass over. After the play Saturday, the con- certed rush for dressing rooms tended to show that the orders of “friend wife” were being obeyed be- cause everyone was in a hurry to change and get back to the club in time for the dinner at 7:30 o'clock. The May ball which followed was cne of the most enjoyable events ever conducted at the club, Famous Woman Golfer Some years ago, Arthur Fenn startled the world by his prowess at golf. He turned professional and had charge of all the golf at tho Poinciana hotel at Palm Beach. For 30 years there he proved to be a capable pro. He died within the last three years and his daughter, Miss Bessie Fenn, took over the re- sponsibilities. She has been very successful in that nosition and Saturday morning fn company with Almon C. Judd of the FElton hotel in Waterbury, she visited Shuttle Meadow and played a round. She gave all the men golf- ers something to talk about when she had a six-foot put on the 1Sth green which would have given her a 79. The hall hung on the lip of the cup but she was through in §0 which cansed many to @it np and take no- tice. She has entered practieal all of the national women ments in the south, west, east and other sections and her name always appears among the first four or five in the standing.

The Corbin Red Sox baseball team of this city, New Britain's en- try in the Central Connecticut base- | ball league, opened its home sea- | lcon yesterday with a 12 to 3 win | over the Collinsville team. Tt was the first Sunday game of baseball |10 be played at Willow Brook park and the large crowd which turned fout to see the contest indicates Ithat the league play which will be | staged there starting a week from next Sunday, will be a popular at- traction. ’ It was a case of a good right {hander and a good left hander fol- | {lowing each other in the box, be- ing too much for the visiting team | |in yesterday's game. On the other hand, the New Britain batters had a field day against the opposing twirlers and many of them fattened {their batting averages. The Sox started in the second inning and scored two. They fol- lowed this up With another brace 1ot runs in the third and another followed in the fourth. One in the ixth and three each in the sev- enth and eighth gave the Sox | plénty with which to win. The Collinsville team scored two {runs in the sixth and one in the ninth, saving themselves from u shutout but suffering a trouncing because the team couldn’t solve the delivery of the pitchers. Berg suffered a bad injury to his ankle during the game in the sev- enth inning when he slid into sce- ond base. He was forced to retire from the game and his mates are anxiously awaiting the results of an X-ray today to find out the se- riousness of the case. Itisthought that the member is sprained though | there is a possibility that the ankle might be broken. Berg fanned the opening session while | side in the Buckland, fanned the first five men to face him. Mickey Huber led the locals in hitting, getting two doubles and two singles in five trips to the plate. Berg had a per- fect day with three out of three, |ingluding a deuble. The Sox pound- led out a total of 16 hits which were good for 24 based. The sum- mary: CORBIN RED 80X AB. R. H. Ll Snonso! 2 Snyder, rt Bucherl, s Patrus, 2b .

Bruno's mark was 9 feet 6 inches. Special mention should be made of Simons. He certainly was a hard worker. The start of every event would find him warming up with the athletes. He high-jumped, broad-jumped, threw the discus and javelin, ran in the long distance and short distance runs—and received a third place in the pole vault. Just when everyone thought he was through for the day he grabbed the stick from the third man in the re- lay team and once again finished in his favorite place on the lower end of the score. 3 Jimmy Scully made his first ap- pearance of the season and ran a pretty quarter mile race in good time. He reached the last tape in 56:03 time. Hill and Price of Springfield, were second and third. Joe Szabo won the 200 yard race and Yahn and Scully won second and third. His time was 22 2-10 seconds. Fred Zehrer won his ini- tial first place of his track career at high school in a pretty half mile run. Melinoff and Price took second and third. Zehrer's time was 2 minutes, 16 1-2 seconds.

Reckert won first in the discuss with |a throw of 91 feet and 8 inches. Ed. Conley and Matulis won second and third. Yahn got off to a fairly good start and ran like a streak. He had a sizeable lead on his opponent when he handed the stick to Captain McGrath who also gained on his| man. Behrer also added to the grand total and when Szabo took the stick he made his opponent look as it he were going backwards. Although it received little opposi- tion the team showed that it has considerable strength and is looked upon as a possibility in the Triangu- lar meet at Willow Brook park next Saturday.

The coaches were quoted as ob- jecting particularly to the rule en- couraging use of the lateral or back- ward pass, although both announc- ed they would “make the best of it” and would not attempt to influence other coaches against \it. Under the rules a lateral or back- ward pass, instead of becoming a free ball if incompleted; remains in possession of the passing side. Reached at Jeffersonville, Ind., by phone Coach Ingram said to the ‘World. “The protection afforded for the use of the lateral pass is quite un- necessary and will hurt the game rather than help it. It is not elastic enough. We had a good game as {t was and now the very fundamentals are affected. “It will take a long time to de- velop the lateral pass along sound lines and in the meantime it will create much discord and discontent. “Naturally I will experiment with the play and no doubt use it too, 80 far as it fits in with what I con- sider the fundamentals of the game. It is forced upon us but that does not alter my own views that it is a mistake and a bad one.” The rule, Ingram said, would encourage loose handling of the ball and add to the duties of defensive end and tackles. Over the wire from South Bend, Ind., Coach Rockne said: “I am opposed to some of the changes, but of course must make the best of it. The game is too wide- spread and there are too many coaches for any group to attempt to butld up a game of its own. “I do rot think the lateral pass will be effective and I do feel that it may hamper the development of the game along sound lines. Some | elevens will be working along one line and others along another and it seems to me that this will create an unhappy situation. “On top of this I feel that the protection given to the players catching punts by which an oppon- ent may not advance the ball on recovering a fumble, devitalizes the game.” ‘WIN DOUBLE HEADER. ‘The Junior Outlaws won a double header Saturday by defc¥ting the and the Rovers by a forfeit.

Vic MacDonald Itwirled for the Hartford team and turned in a good account of himself. Jack Scott, lanky right hander, oc- cupied the slab for the Kensington team and his work shouid have won the ball game for him. Errors be- hind him at critical times during the game, spelled defeat, however. DeVito blobbed twice during the contest and Warren had cne bad er- ror on first, all of which paved the way for Scott's downfall. The Kensington team was a patched up affair yesterday. Almost all of the men who originally start- ted with the team this year were among the missing yesterday, only Ray Begley and Eddie Ziegler being on hand. Conscquently, Scott had little help against the Hartford club. Manager Dan Malarnzy has start- ed out today to secure a ball team. In a telephone conversation this morning, he stated that several new faces will be seen with the team next Sunday when it clashes with the Landers, Frary & Clark team of the Industrial league. Practice sessions will be held weekly every Friday night and despite the reverses of the first few weeks, Manager Malarney exepects to have a ball club that will make all opposition step from row on.

The game, although played in fast time, was one of ragged and poor ficlding be- cause of the strong wind which made easy catches hard to judge. Both teams were in trouble throughout many easy flys, dropping safely for | Texas leaguers. Fischer tossed them for the locals, and was in good form during the entire game. Derby tifreatened in the late tn- nings, but Fischer was invincible with men on the bases and pitched himself out of many bad holes. In the second inning the locals landed on the offerings of Buswell and drove the ball to all corners of the lot. When the barrage ceased, the locals had scored seven runs to put | thé game on ice. The Derby pitcher came back strong after this inning |and held the locals to three hits. Tnability of the Derby batsmen to solve Fischer's slants at critical points brought another victim to the !local Falcons' list. Klatka and “Chucky” Wojack led the local batting attack both sending |out two safe smashes. Farrell, play- ing third in place of “Starhead Budnick who is suffering from an in- jury to his leg, was the shining light |of the locals’ defense. His catches land throws were made in faultless vle.
