THREE LIONS CLUBS HOLD JOINT OUTING New Britain, Bristol and Meriden Disport at Gompounce “It isn't the heat that makes it #0 hot, it's the humidity,” remark- ed members of the New Britain, Bristol and Meriden ‘Lions’ clubs at their annual joint outing at Lake Compounce yesterday afternoon. *“So let's play some games and for- get it,” they continued. So some went out to the baseball fleld to show how much they had forgotten about the national game since they | adorned the neighborhood sandlots. It was only 110 degrees Fahrenheit out on the baseball diamond and this, with the heat of battle, per- mitted the players to leap into the fray immediately without any pre- Uminary warming up. Others went swimming while the rest played a game called “Albums” and were robbed that way instead. Lions began to foregather at the lake about 2 p. m. Britaim, Bristol and Mgriden they advanced in hordes. Dust clouds floating over the countryside mark- ed their wake and residents alony the routes thought there gvas a general exodus from the cities be- cause of some calamity threatening. As they progressed they roarea salutes to the gaping yokels in the rural districts. The program for the afternoon was informal. Some of the members Aecided to give an imitation of President Coolidge and took to the flying horses. The big attraction, however, was staged on the base- ball dlamond where there were more Babe Ruths than could be counted. The score keeper became slightly mixed at times but it was finally decided after several innings that Meriden had beaten New Britain. The score doesn’t matte'r. It is one of those facts in history which will be lost to posterity and the little boys and little girls of the fyture who are studying the “‘Story of America” will have to go with- out this brick in the structure of the past. Later in the afternoon the quoit experts began to show their skill at pitching horseshoes at iron etakes. Rev. and Harry Hancock représented New Britain and went down to ae- feat before the accuracy of the Bristol team. In order to recover New Britain's lost prestige Lou Vo- | gel, Johnny Meehan and A. J. De- laurier rushed into the fray and they're still looking for one of tne horseshoes which was last reported @oing 2 Lindbergh over the moun- fain. The identity of the player From New | Raymond N.

Browr, presideut of the New Britain Lions club. Vogel re- mained at the helm for two hours, keeping tha program moving at a lively pace and intesjecting a bon mot here and there with un abandon which was remarkable. The program was impromptu and consisted of speeches, singing and demonstra- tions of magic. The magicians were Laurence, of New Britain, and Prof. Jasper, of Bristol. When their stunts were finished they were mystified at what it was all about. Prosecuting Attorney W. L. Des- rosiers of Bristol, being called on for a speech, issued a challenge to the New Britain Lions for a golf match. He was taken up. Songs were sung by Matt Calla- Laa and Frankie Clynes, Harry Sha- Lanian, James F. Donanuc and Joe Haffey, the last named offering his famous *“Schnitzelbank,” the pro- genitor of the “illustrated song” which used to give Grandma a thrill. Mr. Haffey, in the role of Prof. Pumpernickel, was kindly assisted— Stunts were performed Ly various members of the club, i iding A. J. Delaurfer, who successfally demon. strated how a thumbh may be cut and who later, with the assistance o several other thespians, put on sketch called “Why do they put em- balming fluid in a gin bottle?” The musical event of the evening | was the singing of the Hartford | Lions club quartet. The Cepital City | harmonists made a hig impression | and were given round after round of applause. The presentation of prizes was mwade and the gathering adjourned | with the Lions’ roar which must have made the spirits of Ch Com- pounce and his braves jeulous.

New York, July 14—(P—New batting kings probably will be crowned this year in both major leagues, The 1926 champions in both cir- cuits have slumped they now are virtually out of the race for hitting honors. Heinie | Manush of the Tigers, who led the | American league last season, has been having a struggle stayi {around the .300 mark while {bles’ Hargrave, the Cincinnati | catcher who upset the dope by lead- | ing the 1926 National league list, | has dropped off to an even greater extent. Ho was around .285 in the latest unofficial figures. It may be too early to pick their | successors, but Paul Waner of the Pirates in the National and either | ou Gehrig of the Yankees or Al | Athletics in the | immons of the merican league seem to have as {good a_ prospect at the top. All three are youngsters, | comparatively, yet seasoned suf |clently to have established them- [selves among the game's most bril- ant allround performers. | Of the former American league ‘r!\dmon Babe Ruth is in a threat- ening position but Ty Cobb, Harry | Heilmann and George Siser seem | unlikely to displace their younger | rivals now at the top. In the National, Rogers Hornsby, six-time batting champion, started |off sensationally but has been hav- |ing a struggle lately in remaining mong the “first five.” Tt will take a big spurt to put the Giant's cap- | in the running, with well as Joe Harris and Frank Frisch setting the pace they. are. Ed Roush, another ex-c pion, hasn't Leen hitting any | near his former pace. The contentions of two rival stake in the De [ tle next Thursda umph for the ‘“mental worry,"” schools, whose belief has been that the former champion lost to Gene ters and rot in the proper frame of mind to fight at his best. If Dempsey is defeated it will be hailed as a victory for the “hollow | shell” theorists who asserted that he i lost his title because he had definite- ly passed the peak of his fighting form and become a ‘“has-been.” “Bilg Bill' 'Tilden is playing It came!

He slumped suddenly from | this supgr-tennis to mediocre form | | and simply couldn’t regain control. | “Whatever was the cauge of these particular defeats, however, they | can't be laid to old age. Tilden, of course, doesn’t think that himself. He made no e s whatever and merely said it was ‘because Cochet tand . were playing better | | tennis, they were, at the time. “Ordinarily T would say that ath- | | letes beyond the 30 year mark are | liable to be on the decline but not | !in Tilden's case.
