Speaking of Sports The City league appears partial to left-handed pitchers, practically ! all those who took their turn on the mound Saturday afternoon serying them from the off-side. Nearly all of them were hit un- mercifully by the preponderance of right-handed batters in the league. | The Rangers had not only a left- handed pitcher but a catcher who was just as left-handed as his bat- tery mate. This catcher, Colasso, | has the further distinction of being three-fingered, - the index finger of his throwing hand being mMmissing. This last proved of little handicap to him, but he had a hard tlmc' trying to get out from behlnd’ right-handed batters in order to catch stealing base runners. Morse Richtmyer, Speedboy pitcher, Is one of those very unusual players who throw left- and bat right-hand- ed. Old “Red” Campbell threw an- other defl in the face of time by repeating his performance of last year and celebrating the league| opening( with a home run. This is getting {o be a sort of annugl oc- currence with New Britain’s vet- eran baseball player, and *“Red” will probably still be observing it along in 1957 when the youngsters who play against him today have hung up their uniforms and gone south tor cure their rheumatism. His smash was a wicked one, car- rying all the way from Diamond 0. 2 to the road in right field. McAloon was in hot pursuit, and Mac is a fast man, but the blow was too far-reaching and Campbell was 100 speedy himself, 80 that he was over the plate almost before the ball had been picked up. bespectacled players made their appearance in the league. Henry Fagan of the Speedboys fooled the fans who derided him, | getting & three-bagger and driving | in two runs, but Walter Turner ot the Rangers struck out twice. Tn- cidentally, there is a whole family of Turners, three to be exact, on the Ranger roster. Two What a team of “yvoungsters” the West Ends put in the field Satur- day! Will someone please add the ages of “Red” Campbell, George Campbell. “Billy” Clancy and «“Billy” Cormier, subtract from the | total the batting average of “Red” | Makula, who was catching, and multiply by two. Nevertheless, “Red’ Campbell got his home run just as he did ip the opeming game last season, and the other veterans played good ball. Mickey Noonan and Adam Sul- lick had great fun at the West! End-Pirate game, especially when Clancy was at bat. Once when Clancy sped down towards flrsL‘ base after & tap to the infield, Mickey encouraged him with a shout to “get that man off your back” and Sullick seemed to think an elephant had climbed on Clancy and was holding him back. { Philadelphia at New York. | Buftalo NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, 'JUNE 27, 1927.

That is, it would have bheen a peach had the bag been 20 feet over to- wards the first base side of the diamond. Once after that when “Red” seemed to fecl another throw coming over him, Clancy, playing sccond, advised him against it. “Save that arm, Red,” he shouted, and “Red” saved it. Jack Sharkey is by far the fav- orite to heat Jack Dempsey in their coming battle in New York on July 12, but there are quite a few who! feel that Dempsey is making a real | comebagk and that the former champion, in anything of the shape that he used to be in, is too good a man for the Boston fighter. Because of his antics against Jim Maloney in their recent fight, Shar- key- {8 anything but popular while Dempsey, once the most despised fighter in the ring, is now at the top 1ung of the ladder which brin®s him the adulation of a hero-worshipping public. However, critfer of the ring are unanimous in saying that Sharkey is the best fighter that Dempsey has ever met in the ring and Dempsey will have to be in the best of con- dition to even make a showing. The air of mystery that surrounds the former champion especially since his defeat by Tunney at Phil delphia has many fight fans up a tree. The question arises as to whether Dempsey was at his best that night or whether he was all through. Neither can be answered until after his fight with Jack Shar- key early next month. “Kid" Kaplan rules a slight favor- ite over Bruce IFlowers in their match at New York tomorrow night.

Joe Massey started in great shape for the Tabs and permitted but four hits in the first six innings. Then he blew up and the Speedboys won the game with a big rally. To Massey's credit it must be said that the flelding be- hind him was wretched, but he him- self contributed two bad errors. Morse Richtmyer was hit hard in the early part of the game but grew stronger as he went along and also had the advantage of surer support. A walk, a hit batsman, Denton’s error, and Milewski’s hit to short gave the Speedboya two runs in the second. The Tabs made one on hits by Herdlein and Daly and an infleld out. Ditsch opened the Speedboys’ third with a triple to center and scored ahead of the throw when Os- |{borne hounded to short. The Tabs; imade their bid in the fourth. Three | the tournament committee to select infleld hits, on which the Speedboys | inner defense looked bad, filled the | bases, and then Roy cleared the| sacks with a long three-bagger "‘i the other diamond. He came in on Kane's sacrifice. Then Massey was | safe on an error and scored ahead of Merline on the latter’'s home run drive down the left field foul line. The Tabs now led by 7-3. After getting one run in the fifth, the Speedboys won the game in the seventh. Osborne and Massey sin- gled, but the former was run down on Richtmyer's roller to Massey. Cherpack was hit for a second time. Fagan batted for Sheehan and Wil- son fumbled his drive, two runs scoring. A passed ball brought Cherpack in but Fagan was caught between ba: Then Milewski sin- gled and “Oskie” Erickson struck the deciding blow with a home run to right fleld which Roy fielded slow- 1y. Ritchmyer's triple scored a run in the eighth and Fagan scored after making a three-base hit in the ninth. The final Tab rally was snuffed prematurely. Features were the hitting of Herd- lein, Mgrline's flelding and the catchhym H. Bacon, who scorned a chest protector but stood up behind the plate and kept the Tabs from pilfering many bascs. Had Massey been given support, he would prob- ably have won his game; Reed took lis place in the eighth. Richtmyer fanned ten batters. A peculiar play occurred when Herdlein stole second in the firth in- | ning. Umpire Mangan called him safe but Herdlein misunderstood and walked off the ficld. no further play being made on him.

PAGE AND LUCAS WIN TOURNAMENT Banker Again Gomes Through in Toss-Up Atter a Tie —_— There wasn't much difficulty for a winner in the weekly event of four best ball match at Shuttle Meadow ‘aturday because only a mighty few | cards were turned in. Charles Hell- r and his brother Merrick tied with a net of 60 with Logan Page and Noah Lucas but on the toss-up, the last named team won. Sceing | that Lucas is a member of the | banking fraternity, there is a strong | suspicion that he and Val Chamber- | lain got together and planned an- other manipuation of the “Heads I win, tails you lose” affair. Mem- bers at the club who are tied with bankers in future matches will in- sist on drawing straws instcad of tossing coins. The North Wind usually brings the freezing temperatures to an otherwise peaceful countryside, but it was a South Wind that chilled the hearts of more than 50 entries in the tournament Saturday. Starting with the first hole, everything was lovely because the wind was at the players’ backs, but from the seventh on, it was nothing but misery. Lindbergh had no more trying | time in his trip to Paris than did the players over the course at Shut- tle Meadow Saturday. Weird hooks’ and slices were experienced at every | drive from the seventh hole on and that is probably the reason why only two cards were turned in. Next week-end is the big time for the golf Starting on Saturday a Blind Bogy tournament will be ! played. In this event, players will | & their own handicaps and chose a number between 74 and 82, Then Monday, July 4, in the morning an 1S hole medal tourna- ment with a full handicap allowed, will be siaged.

GRAY LAG IS BACK Great Thoroughbred Nursed Back To Health After An Attack of Glanders—To Race Again, New York, June 27 (#—Grey Lag has returned and there was hope today that the turf would see the great thoroughbred Sting under saddle again. Nursed back to health after an attack of the glanders that nearly caused his death, the horse which won the Excelsior handicap, the Metropolitan and the Suburban all in 1925, may race this fall at the Empire City track, the property of his owner, James Butler. A strong bond of affection binds horse and man. Offered $150,000 for the thoroughbred, Mr. Butler re- plied, “There are a lot of men in this world who have $150,000 or maybe a million, but there is only one man who has Sting.” Both Mr. Butler and the trainer of his stable believe the horse will carry silks again. LONG ROWING TRIP Two Members of Ravenswood Boat Club Plan to Go in Racing Gig From New Yofk to Chicago. New York, June 27 (A)—Setting out in a frail racing gig next Sat- urday, two members of the Ravens- wood Boat club here will undertake to row to Chicago and back. The oarsmen are F. J. Muff and Rudolph Jezek, who intend to stop at Wyandotte, Michigan, for the Na- tional Association of American Oarsmen races early in August. They expect plenty of opportunity for practice in the pull over the Harlem, Hudson and Mohawk riv- ers, Erie canal and Great Lakes. A return by the same route is planned. At Wyandotte the two will carry out the last wish of George W. Lee, old time oarsman, who requested just before his death, two vears ago, that his ashes be scattered over a rowing race course.
