SOLIC 0606555500080 206006 | Speaking of Sports Nelson, third baseman for the Union Works bascball team and the best man in the lineup, has been forced to give up the game be- cause of a physical condition. Bobby Garcia of Baltimore, not 30 long ago considered a dangerous contender for Kid Kaplan's feather- welght crown, is going by the boards as fast as any fighter can go, it ap- pcars. The night before last in I’hiladelphia, Bobby was floored 13 times in a fight with Tommy Her- man. He went down three times in the first round and was knocked down 10 times in the third, the tenth being the last. There isn't any doubt whatever but that Garcia started on the downward path when he was knocked out by Kaplan at the velo- drome in Hartford in Kaplan's last appearance as the world's feather- weight champlon. Shortly after that Garcia fought Danny Kramer of Philadelphia and was knocked out in the first round. Garcla was one of those fellows who stood a lot of pounding in order to get a good punch in. He a pears now to be ‘*punch-looney" because he is going out cold in al- most all of his fights. Last night's games in the Indus- trial T.cague were fine opportunities for the members of the P. & F. Cor- bin and Stanley Works baseball teams to fatten their batting aver- ages. This was done at the expense of the Russell & Erwin and Union Works pitchers. That brings us around to a dis- cussion we overheard the other night in Patsy Bridgett's Smoke Shop on Church street anent the scarcity of pitchers in New Britain. oity has always had its share of good haseball players and today there are many diamond stars in the making as there al- ways have heen but the diamond artists are very few and far be- tween. - TR A e The consensus of opipion’ among those who were in the argument or discussion, was that since the days when Bill Walsh used to do his stuft on the mound, New Britain hasn't developed a really good baseball pitcher. Bill Walsh was about the best this city ever developed with the vote for second best going to Péte Wilson. Walsh turned from a professional waseball career to medicine and urned down offers to become a | member of the New York Giants. There are some pitchers coming along among the younger genera- tion of baseball players in this city, but they are very few. The develop- ment of slab artists s a forgotten | art it seems and unless a dark horse appears on the scene, local teams will have to seek elsewhere for twirlers, In the New Britain lndu!trlal‘ Y.eague, the team with the pitcher is the teanr that is up near the top. The P. & F. Corbin team has “Huggy" Carlson, Stanley Works has Jim Scott, Stanley Rule has Billy Wolfe, Landers has Billy Chant, while the other teams have fairly good men working in the box. “Chick” Stanley was about the best pitcher in recent years in the Industrial League, and he brought his team to a championship in 1020. It would be a great thing for base- ball if the managers of the Indus- trial League would seck about to de- ! velop pitchers. There are any num- ber of young fellows hanging onto cams in the “Dusty” League who onld go well in the box in some of - he casler games. It the managers would turn their Atention to developing pitchers as J veHl as players, the Industrial League X f—— pri in ol : Ve 0" he ; Action! in a Jantzen MEN or WOMEN’S $6.00 | the jcraft {ment. o'clock. would be the hatching place for twirlers who might go much higher. In the old days, when the ward league and the Industrial League were in full bloom, there was no scarcity of pitchers because pitching was considered the important part of a baseball team. Nowadays, it is the batting end of the game to which most attention is paid, while pitch- ing Is taking second place. The Rotary League is the place where the pitchers are beginning to develop, and it is only a question of a few years when the boys who are doing the work in the city now in the junior classes will be starring on the senior teams. AINS TO SHATTER 'BOAT SPEED MARK Kafin Hopes to Make 40 Miles an Hour on Hudson New York, June 8 (A — A gaso- line express yacht whose three mo- tors aggregate 1,440 horsepower is to start down the Hudson river at a speed of nearly 40 miles per hour in an effort to set a new rec- ord for its class of craft this after- noon. The attempt will be made by the “Oheka II,” built in Germany for the use of Otto H. Kahn, New York banker, in commuting from his home on Long Island to New York. The record it will strive to lower was established by Gordon Ham- mersley’s “Cigarette IV,” which made the run in four hours, 22 minutes, June, 1924. In recent speed trials the “Oheka II" averaged 36.7 miles an hour with water and fuel tanks filled and with 12 persons -aboard. At that rate her engines were turning 24 | revolutions per minute, less than | their maximum. | Although any small eraft on the river will feel good sized waves as| speedy yacht passes by, the | is so well designed that her| passengers will be perfectly com- | fortable _and will hear no more | noise from her motors than fs/ audible in a modern limousine at the same speed. The boat is equipped with a gal- ley and a dining room to aarom- modate eight persons. In commut- ing to New York from his home 34 miles away Mr. Kahn intends to have breakfast on board and make the trip in less than an hour. Three 480 horsepower Maybach- Zeppelin marine engines, similar to the power plants used in the United States navy dirigible Los Angeles, glve the foot craft its remark- | ablesspeed.
