Rogers Hornsby hastened the Chi- | cago downfall by producing his 17th home run of the season in the séventh with Ott on base which knocked ‘Guy Bush out of the box and eventually proved to be the de- ciding blow of the game. Hornsby's triple in the previous session started a three run splurge. | Carmen Hill, pride of the Pitts- burgh pitching staff, was shelled oft ! the mound by Brooklyn in the fifth inning during a three run barrage.

Although no representative from | the suburban team was present, the | Kensington Congregational church | was dropped from the league, as it| has been impossible for that organi- zation to get a team together in re- cent weeks. All games which should have been played by that team up| to the present were declared for- feited, and future contests will be| credited to the respective opponents | as the schedule progresses. The Bi- | ble class, Trinity Methodists, and Center Congregationalists pocketed a game aplece by this ruling. The league rule that a plaver shall play with only one team was inter-| preted to mean that a man shall| play with only one team during a| season and shall not transfer from one to another. This action was the result of the change of Merwin Schaeter from the Stanley Memorial team to the Sou%: Church. The lat- ter team did not know he had play- ed with the Stanmors and Schaefer| was ignorant of the rule. The ques- tion of interpreting the rule came up last night and it was voted that a man could play with only one team during a given season. The rule went into effect as from last night, and Schaefer will be allowed to con- tinue with the South church, Frank Keiffer was authorized to purchase enough equipment to last| the balance of the season. The man- | agers present were President George H. Hamlin of the Staniey Memorial church, Secretary-Treasurer K. E.

While Jack has pitched many a brilliaRt game and broken up many a tight contest with a home run, he tells me he got his greatest thrill of baseball in a free-hitting game against the Rachester club of the International league. In those days Jack was the big noise with the Bal- timore Orioles. Bentley's big moment was a bat- ting feat rather than a par excel- lence pitching performance. It is a performance that Jack insists is a world's record and I can find nothing to disprove it.

The visitors are equipped with the best baseball talent available and the team's strength can well be judged by the fact that the River- view club of Norwich, is numbered among its victims this season. “Red” O'Hearn, the ace of the Derby pitching staff, is a strikeout king. He has a fast ball that trav- els like a bullet and his record for the past five games gives him 13 strikeouts as an average for each contest. The Kensington team is due to go to Taftville tomorrow afternoon to tackle the town team there. Ma- larney's crew was scheduled to play the game last Saturday but rain prevented the contest bing staged. The game Sunday will start promptly at 8 o'clock with “Rip- per” McKeon umpiring.

The Balti- more club staged a rally that batted around, bringing Bentley up for the second time and once again he got the ball safe. | Getting two hits in two different innings of the same ball game is de- cidedly unusual and it {s only natural that Bentley should recall it as the big thrill of his career.

BERLENBACH WINS Knockout Victory Over Bob Lawson Sets Him on Road to Recovery of Title, New York, July 29 (#—Paul Ber- lenbach was on his way to recover his former world’s light heavygveight crown today by virtue of a knock- out victory over Bob Lawson, Ala- bama negro. The ex-champion landed his win- ning punch in the seventh round and the beating he administered his op- ponent was so heavy that Lawson had to be carried to his corner and several minutes elapsed before he could leave the ring. Berlenbach got off to a bad start and nearly went under in the first round when Lawson staggered him with a right to the jaw. Lawson had Berlenbach groggy with two more rights before the round ter- minated. ¢ In the succeeding rounds, how- ever, Berlenbach flashed his old time trip-hammer lefts and pun- ished Lawson severely, Berlenbach tipped the Beam at 172, Lawson 1801, CoLD GLASS OF IF You HAD watchin Dénver, Colo., higl HOW'D A NicE BIG OLD PILSENER Go ABouT Now JAKE STRONG LINEUP Gorbin Red Sox Meets Strong Southington Team Here ‘The Corbin Red Sox baseball team will be extended to the limit to keep up its winning streak in the Central Connecticut league Sunday afternoon when the strong Pexto team of Southington clashes with it at Wil- low Brook park in this city. No two teams have more rivalry between them than the Sox and the Pextos and a great battle is expected to re- sult from the meeting. The rivalry is made more intense because of the fact that two New Britain stars are playing with the Southington team. Both of these men will be in the lineup against the home club Sunday. They are Eddie Ziegler and Ray Begley. The Bouthington team has been playing in hard luck for the past tew game but Coach Eddie Hack- ! barth has planned a shifting in the lineup that should take care of exist- ing weaknesses. Although no definite news has been received concerning the changes, it is expected that Ray Begley will be brought in from the outfield and shifted to first base which is his regular position. Heinie Carrington will be placed on second and Ziegler will be placed in the outfleld. The Pextos have been weak in the outfleld and Ziegler's work in the left garden for Kensington last year is well known Rere. He shifted sud- denly from the infield to the outfield and proved to be the sensation dur- ing the city serles last year, He has | been hitting hard and consistently | this year and at present is second in {the batting list of the Pextos team. | Begley on first base will be a matter ot added strength to the visitors. The rest of the lineup will prob- ably be the same as it has formerly been. Hackbarth will catch with Becker on third and Gibson on short. The outfleld will be strengthened by the addition of another new man and the team will be a far better one than has represented the town in its last few games. Manager Tobin of the Red Sox will rest with the crew which he has been using. Berg will probably pitch with Billy S8chmidt in reserve. One of the best crowds of the year will be out to see the teams in ac- tion. The contest will start promptly at 3 o'clock. Play Prison Nine The Red Sox will play the Prison Gold Sox at the state institution, in Wethersfield tomorrow afternoon. The local players will leave New Britain at 12:45 o'clock « tomorrow noon. The game in Wethersfleld will start promptly at 2:16 o'clock and Manager Tobin plans to have his team on the fleld at 1:30 o’clock. TABS V5. WATERTOWN | Tough Battle to be Fought Out in Paper Goods Town Tomorrow in ‘Western League. The Kensington Tabs will meet the Watertown baseball team at the Percival avenue grounds in Kensing- ton tomorrow aftenoon at 38:15 o'clock in a Western Connecticut league game. This will be a clash of clashes for the Kensington team as thé visiting club is one of the strongest in the league. The South end team recently de- feated the Pirates of this city in a | hard fought contest and Watertown is being counted as the next victim. Joe McCormick who has been star- ring on the mound, or “Slim"” politis will be assigned to the pitching job tomorrow. The Watertown crew is coming to Kensington with one object in mind and that is to swamp Kensington. Whether the team can do this or not remains to be seen but Kensington will put up a tough fight. “Ripper” l)cheon will do the umpiring.

Russwins 083 Union Works .. .000 The Stanley Works baseball team was forced to use all its guns and power to defeat the Russell & Er- win team last night in the Industrial league on Diamond No. 2. It was only with a three run rally in the last of the eighth inning that the Butt Makers could be sure of having a safe lead. The score was tied twice in a few innings, the count being 10 all as the team went into the seventh. The Russwin crew then handed the Stanley Works a run and the Butf Makers got three more in the eighth. Scott, ace of the Stanley Works pitching staff was the saving grace for the team which still, luckily, oc- cuples second place. He went into the game with the score 8 to & against him and by his pitching, he held the Russwin batters to two runs and two hits and by his bat, helped to bring in the runs which gave his team the game. Paul Snyder, by a daring steal of home plate in the fourth inning, brought in the tying run and gave his feam the necessary hope to go in and win the game. Manager McGillicuddy McConn of the Stanley Works elected Salak to start against the Russwins. Evident- ly he had taken no warning from the manner in which the Russwins conducted themselves last week. Sa- lak was greeted with a thunder- storm of hits and was forced to re- tire in the first inning in favor qf Warner Johnson. Johnson stuck it out until the fourth when Scott re- lieved him and then the Stanley Works team went to work. Morellt, first man up in the game got a life when Adams pegged wide of first base. Hennessey sliced & single into left fleld. Blanchard sent another single into left, Scheldler sent a single through third and short and Luke followed with another single into left. At this point, Sa- lak took the ““dead walk" and John- son ascended the mound. Luke was third and Johnson balked to have him score. However, no fur- ther scoring was done that inning. Stanley Works went out in- order in the first frame but the Russwins weren't done yet. Morelli started oft the second with g single. He stole second and scored when Adams threw wildly to first to get Hennes- sey. Blanchard also got on in this frame but only Morelli scored. The Butt Makers opened up in the second. Parsons walked and stole second. He took third as Pelletier was being retired at first. He scored on Gralil's single to left. Adams was safe when Grajl was thrown out at third. He toak second and scored on Mack's double to left. Mack went to third on a passed ball and scored on Salak’s poke into center. Russwins didn’t score in the third but the Stanley Works made their count five in the inning. Doubles by Gaida and Pelletier and an crror by Blanchard on a high bounder grve them the counters. Russwins got two in the fourth on a home run by Blanchard and a single by Scheidler. Gaida let the ball go through his legs and Scheid- ler went to third to score when There’s at Least One in Every Office CoLD BoTTLE ? 6o oN Hom& ) You StmP ! DoN'T SUPPOS Do A THING ..

He retired the side without further scoring and Dick Schroeder went in as his bat- tery mate. Schroeder batted first in the fourth ane singled, Scoft scor- ed him with a double. Snyder walk- ed and went to third on Green's double on which Scott scored. With two out and Pelletier at bat, Snyder raced for home and with, a pretty head-first dive was safe with the tying run. Stanley Works added two in the sixth on Snyder's double, Gaida's single and Green'’s sacrifice fly. The Russwins tied it up again at 10-all in the seventh. Green mussed up Suess’ roller to short and he went to third on Cosgrove's drive. to the tennis courts. Link was thrown out at first and as he was running into the bag, he blocked Parsons’ throw to home to get Suess. Schroeder pegged to Scott but the ball went over his head and Cosgrove -raced in from second. In the last half of this inning, tha Butt Makers scored one taking the lead Budnick singled and stole sec- ond. He scored when Link falled to catch a throw from Groman and let the ball get by him. The Stanley ‘Workers put the game in the bag in the elghth on Green's double, errors by Luke and Scheidler #nd a single by Schroeder and a double by Scoti. Cosgrove's catch of a fly ball in the crowd in right fleld was the fielding feature while Blanchard's home run into right field was the batting gem. Neither team play- ed extraordinary baseball.

The winners pounded the ball hard and got an early lead. Little opposi- tion was offered by the tail enders. The Corbin wrecking crew smashed out 16 hits with Joe Jasper and Tommy Matteo leading the attack with three bingles each. “Huggie” Carlson, on the mound for the winners, wasn't forced to ex- tend himself at any stage of the game. He allowed six scattered hits and two runs. Casey and McKnight met rough salling as they served them up to the plate.
