Mays . . supremacy. | In winning the opening game of the important serles by 14 to 7 yes- terday, the Cubs out-hit the feared Pirates by 14 to 9, slammed the only home run of the game and made a single error to the Buccaneers' 3. Charley Root had the better of the pitching argument with Hill, Yd and Cvengros. As a result of the, victory the Cubs are only a frac-| tion more than one game behind the Pirates. ! Playing the big series on their, home field, the Cubs got away to a | much better start in their bid for the | lead than did the Chicago White| Sox a few days ago when they| AB. sought to oust the Yankees from the ' . American league attic in a series in New York. The Sox could win only the last one of the four games and since then have been losing dismally. Even the White Sox pitching ace Tad Lyons was ineffective yesterday against the Indianse who beat them by 3 to 2. It was Lyons’ fire defeat in 9 starts and his club’s ninth in | the last 12 games. Shaute of the In dians earned his victory by pitching 4-hit ball. In the only other Ameri- can league game the Detroit Tigers won a point in their attempt to dis- lodge the Senators from the first division by winning a 5 to 1 deci- sion. ! At last the New York Giants found themselves with good pitching and beat the Cardinals by 4 to 3.!

President Heydler of the National league, announcing the suspension yesterday after conferring here with Smith, Manager Donie Bush and President Barney Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh club, said he would get the Boston side of the story before announcing his final action.

Bancroft was Kknocked out by a blow struck by Smith following an altercation. CHURCH LEAGUE GAMES Four.Contests Are Scheduled To Be Played in Circuit Tonight At Wil- low Brook Park. Four Inter-Church baseball league games are scheduled to be played at 6:45 o'clock this evening at Willow Brook park. The Kensington Con- gregational church team, which has yet to win a game but has alwa put up a stift battle, will face the St. Matthew's German Luthecrans, who are at present in third place and right on the heels of the leaders. The $t. Matts dropped a game last 4| week but are confident of striking their stride again tonight; the su- burbanites are determined to pre- . vent thelr losing streak from being extended any further; counting last year, it has now run to 19 straight. This game will be played on Dia- mond No. 1. The Swedish Bethany and Center Congregational church teams, two well-matched nines, will clash on the “grass diamond.” The Bethany boys have a good defensive outfit, and the Center church is represent- ed by a group which is erratic but which can play first-rate ball when it is going right. On Diamond No. 2 the Everyman's Bible class, which has won its last two games and has started to climb up through the standing, will play the First Lutherans, Harris and “Dutch” Ruether, both | cast off by Washington last season, thave become vital factors in two | pennant races.

The six-man golf team irca the Hartford Golf club demonsated to the representatives of t%d Shuttle Meadow club Saturday, iust how the game should be playrd when the Capital Clty sharpshéters took a state league team match by tte score of 12 to 2. So keen were the eyes of the visitors that all the Nev Brit- ainites, except Clarence Manning failed to register any points. Man- ning scored New Britaln's total for the day, two marks. Captain R. 8. Cutler of the Harte ford team, alded and abetted by five companions committed golf mayhem on the Hardware City ag- gregation. He proved to be a worthy leader for the team and scored as pretty a 73 over the course as anyone would want to see. He would have made a 70 if he had left out three 3-putt greens and made them in the two shots called for. This victory puts the Hartford team in the semi-final play with the wirtner of the Farmington-Wethers- fiell match which is scheduled ‘0 be played today. Then the winner of that ma‘ch will meet the winner ot the round in the other section of the state, most probably Woodlawn, for the state team title. Hzertford has one of the cveniy balanced team seen in this city .n years. It looks good to be able to run the gauntlet for the honots of the state. The tightest match ever seen at Shuttl: Meadow was staged Saturday hetwen Bob Cook, No. 1 man on the Hartford team, and Bill Sweeney of the Shuttle Meadow club. Cook was on¢ down at the ninth hole and Lie straghtw proceeded to give Sweeney the battle of his life. On the last nine, he shot perfect golt and took the match and won, one point. O the upper nine, both men had a bestball of 29, two over three for nine Inles. Had this been in a best ball taurney it would have been a remarkalle game. Clarence Manning beat Lake and took two powmnts, the only New Brit- ain man to wxore. The rest all lost threc points, making the final score 12 to 2 for Lartford. 2 SHIPPERS WIN GAME most ball Team By Trouncing it 19 to 4 At Outing.
