Battle in Kensington | The All-Kensington team will have to travel at top speed tomorrow afternoon when the Smedley Base Dhall club of New Haven arrives for battle. The visitors are prepared to take a fall out of Manager Dan Ma- larney’s crew but they will be met with a team that is altogether dif- ferent than the onw that ctarted the | season for Kensington. | The Smedleys were formerly the X Y's of New Haven, one of the best Wi teams in this section. With | several of the players of former years still on the roster with the ad- dition of several new stars, the team prosents a very strong combination. The club will line up as follows: Conners or Cabetry rf, Velaodi or McLeon If, Blakeslee cf, Doherty ss, Lynch 3b, Graham 1b, LeGrand 2, * Combs or O'Brien ¢ and Crossman or Loos p. Kensington will send in its strong- | est team into battle. The squad will take the field as follows: Sullick e, Yale of B. Kania p, Fitzpatrick 1b, | Belser 2b, J.

Nelson led | he first inning with a hit, Ny- | Frisk, Bengston and Ioberg | followed suit, and before the inning was over all five of them and Fric- son had crossed the plate ‘ After that Keiffer settled down | and he and his mmates went | | grimly about the task of catching | |up. May and Roy scored in second and Bucholz and Anderson | were driven across the plate in the sixth, when Holst counted. Fresen was a bit below his 4 but, with his early against the Braves while it fell to the lot of Eddie Pick and Hack Wil- son to malke. the costly Chicago er- rors in the Philly game. Meanwhile the Cardinals coming at a merry clip, bagging two hefty homers in the scventh to hum- ble the Giants by 7-4. Taylot Dout- hit, outfielder and Heinie Schuble, the recruit shortstop, swung the home run bats. Fred Lucas of the Cincinnati Reds blanked the Robins, by 3-0, winning a duel with Dazzy Var Lucas granted but one hit and allowed just 1wo Brooklynites to reach first In the American league upsets were the rtle. True to form, the Yanks ninth inning rally in their losing battle with the White S but it failed with Babe Ruth on third when | his “twin,” Lou Gehrig, grounded to | second for the final out. The victory for Tey Lyons, the White Sox youthful pitcher, was his 15th of the season. Walter Johnson met rough going in the first half of the Washington- | St. Louis doubleheader, which the | 3 Browns won by 7-6, the veteran was | touched for seven hits in the three innings he worked.

AMERICAN LEAGUE and Burritts engage each other in a struggle for first place in the City lengue. Neither team has yet how- ed to an opponent in a league game |and their meeting today, climaxing the first round of the schedule, will tell which one is to remain undefeat- ed at the top of the sextet of con- tenders.
