Babe Ruth was out of the lineup | with an injured knee and Gehrig's slam carried him to within striking distance of the Big Bam's homer total of 24.

Chicago’s two clubs, met mingled fortuncs. After beating the Pirates | the day before, the Cubs fell victim to the last place Reds who Luque pitched to an 8 to 5 victory despite poor support. Cofhally’s tight re-| lief pitching marked the White Sox 9 to 7 decision over the Tigers. | John McGraw's weak hurling staff, | although strengthened recently by trade, was no match for Dazzy Vance and the Giants fell before the Robins by 7 to 1, Uncle Robbie's men threatening to pass them in the; standings. George Uhle, of the Indians, like Vance, was invincible and bested Stewart of the Browns in a 2 to 0 pitchers’ battle as Cleveland. Buck- eye was less successful in the sec- ond game by the double bill, being batted from the box as the Browns won by 7 to 3. Buddy Myer. traded this year to the Red Sox, turned on his former team mates at Washington and slam- med out a homer, double and single, but the Carrigan clan lost out by § to 7.

C. baseball team went down to defeat before the East Glastonbury club in that town Saturday only after 17 innings of fierce battle had been fought. The score was 5 to 4 at the end of the long siege with the locals on the short end. From the start to the finish it was a nip and tuck affair. The Burritts drew first blood in the opening inning and although the town team evened up matters in the fifth, the Burritts rallied and scored in the sixth and eighth and seemed on the road to victory. In the last of the eighth, however, East Glastonbury staged a rally to tic the score again. From then on until the 17th in- ning, it was anybody’'s game. The Burritts managed to put one across in the first of the 17th inning and it looked as if the old ball game was over. DBut the town team come up in its half of the inning and broke the camel's back. Burdell at second starred with some wonderful stops that robbed batters of hits. His work at bat also | featured. He got three hits out of six times up, scored three runs him- self and drove in the other one for the Burritts. Perry at first had 24 putouts without a misplay. Co- field, the town team cond base- man, fielded nicely wh the box for the locals, struck out 12 men and kept the opposition's 13 hits well scattered. TIn the 13th tn- | ning with the bases filled, he struck | the next three batters. Thel summa BURRITT A. €.

Ruth's defensive performance happened in the second game of the 1916 world series between Brooklyn and Boston.

New York, June 27 (A — The United States Naval academy’s eight oared varsity-crew will have a clear and undisputed claim to the nation- al intercollegiate rowing champion- ship if it shows the way to six eastern and far western rivals in the classic Poughkeepsie regatta this ‘Wednesday. The middies, in spite of recent loss of their crack No. 7, Anderson, likely will be favorites in the four- mile pull down the Hudson.” They are the only undefeated eastern ag- gregation and have conquered Har- vard, victor over Yale in the Thames river race. The Elis in three pre- vious unbeaten years of Ed Leader's regime have been able to dispute the title claims of the Poughkeepsie winner, either the Navy or Wash- ington, but they are out of the pic- ture this year~ California and Washington have come east with another distinct threat, while Columbla and Cornell, of theseastern “Big Four” in the intercollegiate rowing association, have developed into four-mile con- tenders after earlier setbacks. But Washington, winner last year and the Navy's foremost rival over a six-year period at Poughkeepsie, has been beaten by California and weak- ened by illness, failing thus far to show its former high class in pre- liminary drills on the Hudson. The Californians, also unbeaten, may prove the middies most for- midable rivals. If they should win, the Golden Bears would take back to the Pacific coast as clear a cham- plonship rating as triumph would give to the Navy. Having shifted his line-up as rap- idly as the chameleon changes its colors in the last few weeks in a desperate effort to lift the club out of its slump, Connie Mack finally scems to have struck the combina- tion that may yet upset the rampant Yankees. It is significant that in winning the opening double-header in the current scries with the league lead- crs, the Athletics did not have any of the veteran *“Big Three"—Cobb, {Collins and Wheat—in the lineup. The legs of these famous veter- ans have been standing the gaff pretty well but they unquestionably have siowed up and may not be able to weather the strain of day in and day out campaigning. Bobby Jones has two blg title hunts before him in which to bag at least one national championship for the year 1927. Of the two it would seem the great Georgian has a better chance to win the British open crown again than he has to wrest the American amateur golf toga from George oVn Elm. Medal and not match play is still the forte of Jomes. With the con- fidence gained on foreign soil in his | victory last year, Bobby may strike | his scoring stride at St. Andrews, where he will have only two short | holes to bother him as compared with the four at Oakmont that proved so disastrous. Later in the year, at Minneapolis, however, Jones not only will find Von Elm in his way, but “Jimmy” Johnston on home ground and any number of |other tartars likely to hit up an | unbeatable pace without the slight- | est warning. | The British will undoubtedly in- (stall Jones a big favorite in their {own classic, which has witnessed American triumphs in five of the ast six years. Badly as Jones fin- {ished in the American open—elev- {enth place—there was only one | Briton ahead of him, Archie Comp- |ston, and Archie only had a single |stroke lead over the Georgian. 0 1) THREE SL GING MATCHES ——— Four Home Runs, One By “bed” Campbell, Made Dur- ing Afternoon — Piraté Nose Out West Ends In Thrilling See-Saw Bat{e — Champion Burritts Trounce Rangers — Spedboys Come From Behind to Defeat Tabs — Jamet Naughton Throws Out First Ball.

West Ends . 000 Rangers ...... 0 000 The City baseball league opened its fifth season at Walnut Hill park Saturday afternoon with three glori- ous slugfests. The champion Bur- ritts started their campaign to re- peat last years’ victory with a crush- ing 15-3 victory over the Rangers, slaughtering two pitchers and taking advantage of numerous errors. The Pirates and West Ends engaged in a thrilling see-saw affair, ten dou- bles, a triple, and two home runs being divided up between the two teams so evenly that first one and then the other went into the lead and it was not until the last of the ninth that the Pirates managed o eke out a win by 13-12. The Speed- boys, by virture of superior flelding amid a spray of base hits, won from the Tabs by 11-8, coming from be- hind in the late innings. James Naughton of the public amusement commission opened the league by tossing the first ball in the Burritt-Ranger encounter. It was a perfect strike—on the first bound—and J. Budnick swung vain- 1y at it. Then followed three games with action galore. The attendance was small, probably bhecause of the Spanish war memori~l dedication, but the fans who went to the park saw six teams working their hard- est. The ficlding was pretty ragged, but it should improve as the teams get more practice and wear off the early-season rough spots. Pirates 13. West Ends 12 ‘The Pirates barely nosed out the West Ends 13 to 12 in a ‘slugfest in the second contest on Diamond No. 1. All pitchers looked alike to the batters and hits were scattered to all corners of the lot. Johnny Shee- han started for the winners while Cormier essayed '0\505\'0 them up for the West Ends. Both teams went out in order in the first inning but the Pirates scor- ed two in the second. Matulis dou- bled to left and was sacrificed to third by Howard. Cormier fumbled the ball and “Speck” was safe. He went to second and the two runners scored on Yankaskas’ double to left. Solid smashes brought in six runs for the West Ends in the sixth. Huber reached first on Beagle's boot. Arel singled, George Campbell dou- bled, Cormier trinled and Recano singled. All these were followed by doubles by Makula and Hinchy. The Pirates came back in their half to tie the score with four runs being scored. Beagle opened the inning with a home run on the right field line. IMoward and Claire walk- ed and singles by Shechan and Hall and a double by Begley scored the runs. The Pirates got another in the fifth when Matulis walked, took second on an infield out and came home on Recano's error. The West Fnds scored twice in the seventh. Hinchey walked and stole econd. He went to third when Basil was safe on Sheehan's fum- ble. George Campbell walked to fill the hases. “Red” Campbell batted for Recano and he walked, forcing in a run. Another was scored on an error. In the cighth. the Pirates scored three. Hinchey's error, Yankaskas’ fly, a single by Shechan and doubles by Begley and Hall accounted for the runs. Doubles by Huber and George Campbell, a pass to Arel and |2 h@e run into deep right by “Red Campbell gave the West Ends four n the ninth. In heir half of the frame, the Pirate: managed to score three runs, enoughto win. Singles by Beagle, McAloq and Williams coupled with a doubl by Yankaskas, settled the result.
