\ Speaking of Sports EddTe Ziegler late of the Falcons and more recently of the All-Ken- sington team, is starring for the Pexto team of Southington in the Central Connecticut Baseball League Starting off the season a week ago Sunday against the Corbin Red Sox, Ziegler played a whale of a game on second. Yesterday in the game between the Pextos and the Insilcos in Meriden; the local boy was the star with his great stops around the mid-way. . —_— The Southington team now has iwo victories to its credit in the teague and is reposing sweetly in first place. The heavy rain of yesterday aft- crnoon saved the Corbin Red Sox trom its second straight loss in the league. Collinsville was leading in the last of the fifth when the game was called. The contest was no game because” of the fact that the @orbin Red Sox were batting last and the inning would have to be finished to make it a game. The rule covering this game is contained in _Rule 22 of the Officla: rules, section 3. It reads as follows: “It shall be a regulation game: If the game be called by the umpire on account of darkness, rain, fire, pan- ic, or for other cause which puts patrons or players in peril. Provid- ed five or more equal innings have been played, or if the club second at bat shall .have made more runs at the end of ita fourth inning or be- “fore the completion of its fifth in- ning, than the club first at bas has made in its five completed innings.” The Falcons, with the aid of the doughty bat of Frankie Sheehan, came through for its ninth win yes- terday, this time at the expense of the Wico A. C. team of Springfield. During the week, Frankie ran afoul of one of Larry Mangan’'s son’s shoes and reccived a “shiner” on the right eye, . - Frankle's friends were afraid that this would effect his batting but we seem to think after yesterday that if he _got a ciip in the other eye, he might start hitting for the circuit. Things looked brighter in Ken- sington vesterday when a larger crowd than ever turned out to watch the team in action. Give the crew which Dan Malarney has together a chance to get molded into a team, and another real baseball aggrega- tion will be seen in action in Ken- £.ngton, JUALIFYING ROUND AT SEQUIN CLUB Twenty-Seven Players Make Grade for Round Robin Tourney The qualifying round for the Round Robin tournament at the Sequin Golf club was staged on the courd® Saturday. The course was in excellent shape for the matches and a large list of entrants competed to get in under the wire. Twenty-seven members in all came in to qualify, 80 being the gualifying mark. Some good shooting was dage on the courge and it is ev- ident that the ultimate winner of the tournament will have to travel at top speed to come in first over the select field that will be playing dur- ing the tournament. The list of qualifiers 1is as fol- lows: C. V. Pickening of Hartford, ; Dr. Willlam M. Stockwell of Hartford, 83-12-71; Ls R. Horton Hartford, 99-27-72; A. L. Witherall, Hartford, 87-14-73; W. C.

The New Britain members are much in the minority but as this is only the qualifying round, they say to watch their sinoke when the rounds have been startad, It ap- pears that the local golfers have been ‘laying back to give the Hart- ford members over confidence and thereby make them easy prey for & hard drive near the finish. CARDINALS WIN Local Baseball Team Downs Blue- jays of Bristol in Pitchers’ Battle Saturday. The Cardinal A. C. won a sweet pitching battle between “Lefty” Link and Kaminski of Bristol, from the Bluejays of the Bell Town Saturday. Link allowed six hits and his op- ponent ecight. Both twirlers received wonderful support during the game, Gill in left for the locals had six nice catches and Savage showed well at short. Luke at third furnished ghe fielding feature in the eighth when he speared a hard drive to shut off a run and got his man at first. The Cardinals were scheduled to meet the Jolly Jokers ot Waterbury at Willow Brook park yesterday. but the visitors falled to show up, and ~2 locals claim the game by forfeit !The Cardtials will practics at Wal- nut Hill park Wednesday 'and will probably play the Bristol Bluejays in a return game at Willow Brook park Saturday. BRITISH GOLFERS BANK ON BOONER English Star Hope of Mates in American Tournament New York, June 6 (P—British golfers, having “taken it on the chin” with some frequency in the past few seasons. are not over-con- | fident of success in the American open championship next week but they seem to be pinning: no little faith in the chances of at least one of their number, Aubrey Boomer. Boomer, professional at the St. Cloud club in Paris and three times French open champion, shot such conspicuously good golf in the Ryder Cup matches, especially by contrast with some rather unsatisfactory work by his teammates, that he is looked upon, even by the home- guard, as a formidable threat. The best shots in Boomer's golf repertoire, his high irons are espe- clally suited to Oakmont's well- trapped layout, although the Briton also is a long and accurate hitter from the tee. Leo Diegel, the American home- er last Friday, has this to say: “If T had to pick three players bred who matched shots with Boom- | ¢ NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1927.

C. by a 13 to 12 score at Walnut Hill park Sat- urday afternoon. The contest re- solved itself into a slugfest for both teams as the score indicates. Mec- Guire, Baldesari, Ocborne and Potts contributed in the heavy hitting col- umn while Levine and Mangan were the fielding kings.

NEW HAVEN TEAM BEATS KENSINGTON Rain Cuts Game Short in Sixth With Visitors Leadin The All-Kensington bascball team was defeated by the New Haven A.

Rain started to come down |at the end of the sixth frame and the field was in such a poor condition in which they are paired up for the |4¢ jig cessation that it was impossible | to finish the game.

Instead of watching each other most of them will have their eyes focussed on the Atlanta amateur. “Jones, of course, fs the greatest golfer in the world and if he is right no one else has a chance,” in the view of one British player, and an. other, while agreeing, adds, “Bu Walter Hagen, off his game as h palpably has been, cannot be count- ed out.

West- ern threats may come from “Light | Horse Harry” Cooper and George von Elm, the amateur king. Charley Whitcombe is rated next to Boomer in British prospects, al- ithough Arthur Havers, a fine fron | shotmaker, and Archie Compston, | both familiar with American courses, also are regurded as dangerous.

The manner in which Sweeney is shooting these days gives all fair warning that he is in perfect form and is out to cop the state title dur- ing the present year, When BIill wants.to, he can sure play pretty golf. 5 The results of the matches in the team contest were as follows: C.
