Paul ‘Waner's double in the eighth, er Brooklyn had tied the score, st the rally for the needed run. T nor and Cuyler sacrificed, enabli Waner to score. Untll the ninth inning, Charley Root pitched well, the Cubs holding a 4 to 2 advantage over the Giants. He had retired two men in the ninth and the 27,000 fans were prepared for a Cub victory. With young Mell Ott at the plote, Root slipped over two strikes. The rest should have been easy, but Ott with two men on bases. Hornsby and Terry followed with safeties, and the 17th victory that Root thought he had was gone. The champion Cardinals triumph- ed over Philadelphia, 9 to 8. Home | runs by Frisch and Lester Bell had twice tled the count. With the bases full and two out in the eleventh, Blades singled, bringing in the win-| o o ning run. ~ lcm The Cincinnati Reds, continuing their winning stride, climbed into fifth place in the Natlonal leagne by dividing a double header with the | Boston Braves. The Braves took the | first game, 7 to 2, but the Reds came back in the second to win 5 to 2. * The Reds lost their chance at the first game when Nehf and May ylelded seven straight hits, which netted seven runs. In the American league, the New | York Yankees drubbed the St. Louis Browns 4 to 1, as Lou Gehrig con- nected with his 33rd home run to tle with Ruth again. It was the 14th defeat of the Browns by the Yankees this season. The Chicago White Sox took a ten inning contest from the ‘Wash- ington Senators, 7 to 4.

The Pexto team made a sorry showing against the Insilco club of Meriden last Sunday, having a total of 10 errors behind the excellent pitching of “Lefty” Porter, but the team had an off day and it is expected that all the play- |ers will be back in condition again | this coming Sunday. The game will start promptly at 3 o'clock.

Gehrig’s remarkable power at the bat has made him the most talked about youngster in the game. In- cldently, his leap to fame makes Manager Miller Huggins of the Yankees look smarter than ever. Huggins, who malkes mighty few mistakes of managerial judgment, drew down plenty of criticism when he sold so good a first sacker as Wally Pipp to Cincinnati, with the announcement that Gehrig would supplant him at first for the Yankees. It scemed to be tempting fate, since Gehrig had played only & few HENSINGTON PLAYS DERBY ON SUNDAY Paper Goods Team Clashes With [talian-American Club The All-Kensington baseball team will meet the best team of the sea- son so far this coming Sunday aft- ernoon at the Percival Avenue grounds in the Paper Goods town when it takes on the Italian-Ameri- can club of Derby.

However, he immediately procecded to make good the judgment of the Yankee pilot. In his first year, the season of plons of the Naugatuck Valley for the past two years and they are bringing an {imposing array of baseball talent to oppose Manager Dan Malarney's crew Sunday. The Kensington team has been travelling at top speed for the past few weeks and the team will give plenty of trouble to all opposition from now until baseball plays out. The Derby team is equipped with three pitchers, Foster, Nero and “Red” O'Hearn. O'Hearn is the ace of the staff and he has the remark- able record of having an average of 13 strikeouts per game for the past five games. The Kensington team will use the same lineup that has brought home the bacon in fts last few starts. Bruno Kania or Charlie Yale will be in the box. The Derhy team will lineup as fol- lows: Flyn rf, J. O'Hearn 1f, An- drews cf, Hall 3b, Machinaky 1b, Stone 2b, Jervis ¢ and Foster, Nero or “Red” O'Hearn p. The Kensington club will go Taftville on July 30 to play the town team there. The two teams were scheduled to play last Satur- day but the game was washed out. The appearance of the Derby Ital- fan-American club in Kensington this coming Sunday should be the occasion for a large crowd of spec- tators to attend. The visiting club has one of the best reputations in this state and It has defeated the fast Riverview team of Norwich in a game this season. That alone speaks for the ability of the club. he topped it with .313, and this sea- son, his third as a regular, he should hit .350 or better, aside from the home run ability that he has already shown. While he has received little or no publicity as compared to Gehrig, there is in the National league a youngster playing his second year in | the majors who has as great, if not | a greater team value than the Yankee star. The player I have {n mind is none other than Paul Waner of the Pitts- Waner packs no home run dynamite in his bat as Gehrig or Ruth, but it s chock full of timely singles, doubles and triples, with an occasional eclrcuit drive thrown in to vary the mo- notony. Coming to the Pirates after three years in professional service, spent with San Francisco in the Coast league, he was touted as a rookie ready to step into fast company and deliver. A batting average of .401 in his final on, in the Coast league caused Pittsburgh supporters to ex- pect much of him and he didn't dis- appoint. Tlaying in 144 games in his first year he finished with mark of .336. Catcher Earl Smith of the Pirates was the only member of the club who did better at the bat. This year he is stepping along at an even faster pace, being the bat- ting ace of Manager Donie Bush's club. He the first player in the National league to make 100 hits, He now wants to beat all others to the 200 mark. to 1LL Go Down RHEM QUITS CARDINALS AFTER RECEIVING FINE Bob O'Farrell Making Efforts to Effect a Reconciliation ‘With President St. Lous, July 28 (A—Flint Rhem, ardinal pitcher who announced he would leave for his home in South Carolina when & $2,000 fine was slapped on him for breaking train- ing rules, has reconsidered his de- cision and Manager Bob O'Farrell today assumed the role of mediator | between Rhem and President Sam Breadon. Rhem agreed to postpone his de- parture until O'Farrell has had a chance to fron out differences be- tween the pitcher and the “office.” O'Farrell said he did not believe | his efforts would bring a reconcilia- | tion, inasmuch as President Sam Breadon has declared the fine would stick. Breadon's action was consldered a bomb shell by sports writers for reason that Rhem has pitched good ball on his last two games. Breadon, however, took action against Rhem when the Cards were in Philadelphia for the series there in mid-July. Breadon said that he had learncd that Rhem had been drinking in Boston and also had in- duced another player to drink. He said he told the pitcher while in Philadelphia that he was going to deduct $2,000 from his pay. Rhem, received his check, less the amount of the fine, yesterday.

Waner s a well built athlete, vet couldn't be classed as husky. He is about 5 feet 9 inches in height { and weighs in the neighborhood of | 160 pounds. He bats and throws left handed. Tn the field he s as clever as at the bat. In two years Waner has reached | the star class in the National league. However, since he does all things well but has no particular specialty, ch as Gehrig's ability to hit home almost as often as Babe Ruth, Waner isn't basking in the spotlight as much as his real ability deserves. Ra Dreyfus paid a lot of money for Paul Waner, but he is worth every cent of it as he is the best all-around outflelder to break into the majors in years.

The grounds were soaked with mud making it difficult for the players to handle the ball. Pitchers couldn't get control because the balls hecame wet and slippery. The Washington team won the game in the first inning when the players scored 10 fiins. Four walks, three errors and four hits resulted in the avalanche. The Y. M. C. A. team failed to score in the first frame and only came near scoring in the fourth when Carl Witham was caught out at the plate. Washington scored three more in the third on error, three walks and two hits. Again in the fifth, four more runs made the total of Wash- ngton 17 for the same, The Y. M. C.

Six errors by the “Y" team also helped greatly in giving Washington the chances to pile up their big score.

The contest was staged on a mud- dy field and large pools of water hindered the players. Members of both teams found it difficult to get a footing while running bases and spills were frequent. Hale was un- able to offer much opposition to the winners who cracked out 18 hits for a total of 24 runs.
