The prison pitcher after going ong in great style for five innings, weakened and the local club started a flock of base hits that brought them the victory. Al Blanchard started on the mound for the New Britain team. With one out in the first inning, the prison third baseman walked. Patrus obligingly threw wildly to first to catch the next batter and both moved up a Two runs scored on Fitzpatrick's error on the first baseman's bid for a hit. In the second, with one gone, the pitcher hit to left field for two bases. He was caught on a fieldcr's choice at third on the short stop's liner to short. Two hits inside of the third base line counted two runs. Here Soule took up the pitching Lurden for the Sox. Getting a man on second and one man to third was the sum total of the prison team's attempts to score until the eighth when the right fielder counted and | scored on the pitcher's second double of the game. In the sixth inning, Soule opcned after Patrus was out, with a poss. Huband singled and Riley doubled to left. Soule counted and Huband went to third.

(BY BILLY EVANS) Bohby Burke, tall, skinny south paw of the Washington club, scored his first big league victory of 19 in a most unusual manner. He pitched one ball in a recent game with the Boston Red Sox and was credited with the win. it was just one of those queer quirks of baseball, relative to what pitcher should be credited with the win. It was just one of those queer ive to what pitcher should be credited with the victory. In the last half of the seventh inning, Burke relieved Marherry against Wash- ington. The hases were filled at the time, with two out and Pitcher Rufting at the bat. On the first ball pitched by Burke, Ruffing grounded out to the shortstop, retiring the side. Burke didn't even come to the bat in the eighth inning, a pinch hitter taking his place. At the close of the inning, Washington had made tour runs and taken the lead 9-7. Braxton took up pitching bur- den for Washington and allowed one run, the Scnators finally win- ning 9-8. Since his team was ahead when he went to the box, there is no way Braxton could be given the credit for the win, Tt must be given to Burke, who went to the rubber with Washington two runs behind and when his successor finished the game, his club had a two-run lead. It Is one of the very few games in the history of major league base- ball where a pitcher who threw only one hall during his stay on the rub- ber i3 credited with a victory, PHILLY AMATEURS FIGHT AT DROME Inter-State and Inter-Gity Matches on Card Hartford, Aug. 1—A four-man amateur boxing team from Philadel- phia headlines the card to be of- fered at the Hartford Velodrome this evening by the Massasoit A.

West Inds 4, Pirates 8 T.efty Haber's potent bat and ex- cellent pitching proved too much for the Pirates, who went down before the West Ends by 4-3. -Cormier started on the hill for the winners and pitched fair ball until he was relieved, 1 it two eritical june- tures he weakened and allowed the Pirates to get to him when there were men on the sacks.
