Speaking of Sports The dream in which all pitchers must indulge came true for Johnny Roge Saturday afternoon when he turned back the Tabs without a hit or run. His speed was far too much for his opponents, who stood help- lessly by the plate and swung vain- ly at thin air. Twelve batters failed to touch anything more than the air and went back on strikes. Rose got six more on pop flies and easy grounders, and the infleld disposed of the rest. Not until there were two out in the ninth aid a Tab lift the ball out of the infield. It was a fine performance. There was a no-hit atmosphere over Diamond No. 1 at Walnut Hill park all afternoon. In the first game Havlick and Richtmyer both started out as though they would turn in hitless games, and it was not until the last half of the fifth that a safe blow was made. The Pirates got two then, and Havlick lost his chance in the sixth when two Speed- boys connected. The first two in- nings of the second game were hit- less, and it was really no surprise to any fan that the premonition which had been felt all afternoon finally proved true and Rose turned in his perfect performance. To Morse Richtmyer much sym- pathy must be extended, for bad er- rors by his infleld cost him a no-hit game—and, still worse, a victory. Both Pirate hits came in the fifth inning after five inexcusable errors had thrown away, plénty of chances to retire the side. Outside of that inning Richtmyer was as much mas- ter of the situation as was Rose. Umpire Herbert Sautter was strict ©on the balk rule Saturday. He call- ‘ed two successive balks on Havlick for pitching from off the rubber and called several balks on Rose for the game thing. Havlick’s balks scored 2 man, but Rose's came with the bases empty and did no damage. Harold Weir and “Turkey” Claire were in the game for exactly one pitched ball, being sent in when Williams replaced Havlick in the hectic last inning of the Pirate- Epeedboy fracas. This one ball was almost a wild pitch but resulted in the final out when Milewski was out trying to score on it. When Weir and Claire came in the crowd chzered their “great work.” The Burritts showed plenty of the #pirit which won for them last year. Both of their rallies came after two men had been retired” and most teams would have figured they must walt till another inning before do- ing anything. Then, after their geme was over, the regulars went over to the other diamond to cheer along the Burritt Reserves, who ware three runs behind in the Jun- jor league. Their presence had its inspirational value, for the Reserves promptly reacted by scoring four runs after two were out in the last inning. % PEXTO TEAM LOSES Southington Entryin Central League Drops Mud Squabble To Middle- town Club, The Pexto baseball team of South- ington was defeated by the Middle- town team in the Central Connecti- cut league by the sdore of 6 to 2 yesterday in Middletown. The game was played in a rain soaked field on which the mud was inches thick. The conditions made it difficult for the pitchers and flelders while the base runners took precarious chances in travelling around the sacks, The Pexto team scored first but two big innings in each of which three runs were scored, gave down- river team its win. Lester Lanning, pitching for the Middletown team, used all his wiles and kept the Bouthington team popping the ball up. Ziegler of New Britain was the only man to solve his slants with any degree of success. Brophy, pitehing for Southington, twirled a nice game, despite the wet balls.

Y., July 11 (P— Assured of the use of grease as a protection against the cold of Lake George's spring-fed waters, entrants in the 24-mile marathon tomorrow breathed easier today as they wound up the training grind. Harry Smith, sanitary inspector, settled the controversy with a promise he would not interferé it the swimmers chose to give their bodies a coating of grease even though 10,000 persons use the lake water. He was assured the wool fat was harmless. The Moore family was completed with the arrival of Mrs. Lottie Moore Schoemmel from west. The former holder of the record for the Albany to New York swim was said to be completely recovered from a leg injury suffered when a row boat struck her in the Catalina channel swim, Her father, Ernest Moore, brother, Ernest Moore, Jr.; and her sisters Grace Moore Shaw and Ethel Moore, who have been here for weeks, welcomed her back to the family circle. Moore, Jr., expects keen competi- tion from Ernest Vierkoetter, mas- sive German; Meyer Mendelsohn, the 19-year-old flash from Montreal; Georges Michel, the French baker and holder of the record for the channel swim; Homer Perreault, Canadian champlon, and Olay Far- stad of Norway. Among the women in the list of 147 entries, which closed last mid- night, are Mmo. Jane Sion of Bel- gium, who swam the Secine; Ethel Hertle, breast stroke champion, and Ethelda Bleibtery, , Olympic wom- en's champion. If they fail to win the first prize, they still will have the consolation of shooting at the $1,500 posted for the first woman to finish the race. Some of the local observers be- | Heve none will finish the gruelling marathon. They figure that per- plexing cross currents and the cold water will prove too much of a handicap even to the hardiest aquat- ic star. Jack Dempsey, former heavy weight champlon, will start the race at Hague early tomorrow. The fin- ish will be at this }lage. HUMAN PUNCHING BAGS RELEASED Dempsey’s Sparring Partners Not Strong Enough ‘White Sulphur Springs, Saratoga Lake, ¥. Y., July 11 (®—The life of a.sparring partner is short and bit- ter in the training camp of Jack Dempsey for the best a shock ab- sorber can get is the worst of it. Two new heavy ghts coming in today passed a trio on the way out, and the looks of relief in the eves of the departing guests could be matched only by the anxiety of the bhoys who had just appeared for socking duty with the former cham- pion of them all. After asking waivers on Jack Hidebrand, Peter Corri and Bill tey, Leo P. Flynn handed them releases and one way transportation south simultaneously. The useful- ness of Hildebrand, a Syracuse heavyweight, ceased with two suc- cessive knockouts at Dempsey's hands in the last two workouts. Petro Corri, strong man from Aus- tria, had been badly bhattered and Batey was found too light for the rugged going. Both new comers, Chief Meto- quah, a 185 pound Indian from Oklahoma, and Martey Gallagher, a broth of an Irish lad from Wash- ington, D. C.. were slated to bear their part of the boxing burden to- day as Dempsey resumed training for the match with Jack Sharkey after a lay-off over Sunday. Gallagher, in an unannounced ap- pearance yesterday, worked out alone and surprised the somnolent camp with a 190 pound display of dashing, fighting brawn equipped with & very snappy left hook. A pair of Dempsey’s “best’” boxing mates also were due to return to the lists after suffering minor casualties to secure their firm standing in the eyes of back handlers. Johnny Saxon, a tough little welterweight from DBridgeport, Conn., who fights Dempsey as though the former champion were just his size and weight, was obliged to rest a set of battered ribs for a few days. and Eddie McMullen, for whom the at- mosphere was just a cloud of left hooks for a time, is again able to breathe through a disabled nose. The schedule for Dempscy this week, his last full seven days before the comeback battle with Sharkey in the Yankee Stadium a week from Thursday night, .contains about as many rests as a musical score. Jack will lay off tomorrow to start the Take George forecasts another break on Thursday and Friday. Yesterday Jack played 18 holes of golf with Manager Flynn. Dempsey entered the final lap of the conditioning battle weighing well over 200 pounds, according to sccret advices from Jack's bungalow stronghold deep in the woods a mile from Tom Luther's hotel. The offi- cial announcement set Dempsey's poundage at 198, two more than he expects to weigh on the night of the fight. No one has yet been allowed to see Dempsey climb on the scales. 8r.; | ——— BLACK TO CALCUTTA Caleutta, Tndla, July 11 (P—Van Leéar Black, Baltimore publisher, ar- rived here "today from Rangoon on a return ;light from the Dutch East Indies to Amsterdam.

Connell was retired at first, but Havlick walloped a three-bag- ger to deep left. Six runs had been scored on two hits. Havlick hit Bromber: in the sixth and the runner stole second.

At that |time the Rangers were leading by 9 to & and the victory went to them. | ‘Tommy Blanchard pitched fine ghnll for the losers, whiffing 11 bat- ters, but his support was wretched, making nine errors. Four of these were wild throws by the usually de- pendable Smithwick. Quarti was very wild and walked eight men and made four wild pitches. The Rangers fielded in splendid fashion behind him, however, and this defensive | work was the reason for the Ranger {win. The team also showed a reversal of hitting form and made 14 safe blows. In the first inning the Rangers bunched four hits for three runs, but they held this lead only until the West Ends came to bat. Quarti walked two men and four others hit safely, the West Ends going into a 5-3 lead. The advantage was with first one team and then the other, but the Rangers came up in the seventh, when they were behind by 8-7, and collected four more hits for the two 1uns needed to win. The game was slow, 65 minutes bcing necessary to play the first three innings. The box score: WEST ENDS AB. by nis in rst rdt in er,| R Campbel 1, Hinehey, 2b, 1 er, WO Ricano, s . 18] gmithwick, ¢ .
