CHLETICHVCLBBILOLLO L6008 Speaking of Sports At the conference held last night between Chairman James J. Naugh- ton and President Kenneth Saun- ders of the New Britain City Base- ball League it was decided today, Saturday August 6, would be the last day on which any changes will be allowed on the players' lists. This change in the rules of the league will be strictly enforced after today and no changes will be al- lowed under any conditions. All the teams in the league should have fixed lineups at the present time and it is no more than fair to those teams which have been playing with the others be required to have the same faces in the games regularly. Billy Dudack of this city who was a star athlete during his school days at home, has again been selected as the freshman coach at Georgetown University. Billy was a star football, basketball and baseball player at the Washington, D. C, university and his work with the freshies last vear was a revelation. The champlonship of the Boys' Rotary League was practically set- tled yesterday afternoon when the Paradise Park team defeated the Washington crew in a 10-inning bat- tle. The Paradise Park team has won four games and has lost none and it Will take a big upset to set the team down now. It was a bitter battle between the teams and at the same time a pret- ty spectacle to watch. Had Wash- ington won, it would have been tled with Paradise Park. League Manager Dwight Skinner has called a meeting of all the managers in the league for this morning at City Hall to decide on the protest of the Washington team over the use of a playér older than the ageallowed by the league by the Nathan Hale team. The Washington team lost to the Nathan Hale crew but one of the Nathan Hale players was a member of the Washington team last year and it is claimed that he is over 14 | vears of age. The Washington man- ager had a birth certificate, he says, of the player in question and he has excecded the age limit. It is possible that, if the Washing- ton team proves its claim, the game | will be awarded to the Washington crew and that will place the Wash- ington team second in the standing with only one loss chalked up against it. This might make a differ- | ence In the league champlonship. RULE GIRLS WIN “ANOTHER CONTEST Deieat Arch Rivals, Stanley Works, in Close Battle _The Stanley Rule & Level girls won their fourth straight game in the Girls' Industrial Baseball league last night when they defeated thelr arch-rivals, the Stanley Works girls in a terrific slugfest staged at Wal- nut Hill park by the score of 20 to 19, The Rule Shop took an early lead but steady work and hard plugging by the Stanley Works found the game almost lost to the league lead- crs when the Butt Makers tied the count in thé seventh at 19 all. In the last half of the inning, however, the Rulérs fell on the offerings of Merline and on a walk and a beau- tiful single by Spec, sent Marley in for the winning score. Spec, the snappy little catcher of the Rule Shop, turncd in one of the hest performances of the season this year. Flo chased six high fouls to the ropes for putouts and she pre- vented the Workers from taking the lead in the seventh when she caught Celia Marho trying to score. Spec fell to the ground on the play but held onto the ball and the sout re- tired the side. It was also Spec’s hit that won the game for the Rul- ers when she singled with Marley on third when two were out. “Georgie” White proved to be the heavy sticker of the game. She pol- ed out four hits in five trips to the plate, one a double and another a triple. She also banged one into right field for a homer but she failed to touch second and was called out. Celia Marho played the outstand- ing game for the Stanley Works, collecting four hits in six trips, one a triple. She is quite a flash on the hases. Sho stole home twice dur- ing the game.

After this frame | Bill Fresen was invincible, and his fine pitching was combined with ex- cellent fielding to give him his 12th victory of the season. The St. Matts raissed Ernie Klopp at first base and their infield faltered at several criti- {cal moments ,while their usually ir- resistible varied attack was broken up by beautiful work on the part of Fresen and Nelson, in particular. This pair fielded difficult bunts with- out a misplay and so spiked one of the champions’ most potent weapons. In the first frame, with one down, | Martin Steege was safe on Frisk's lerror. Fink went out, but Wally Linn crashed a triple to left aad rode home on Goody Preisser’s lin- ler down the right field foul line. The Swedes settled down then and held for the rest of the game, a double by Fink being the only dan- | ! gerous threat in the later innings. | |” The St. Matts were clearly being | outplayed ,errors putting the Swedes | in position to score in almost every inning, but the eventual winners were not wide awake and Billy Preisser frequently picked them of | the bases. In the fifth, however, they got going. Holst opened with a hit and crashed his way around to third through opposing infielders, |scoring on Nelson's single. In the sixth Fresen started with a | N !od the performance. Ericson lined a single to left and the bases were ful’. hlgren pumped a hit to right, ccoring Fresen, and Holst sent Bengtson in with the fifth safe blow in succession. Preisser was taken out and Otto Suess took up the pitching burden. He retired the side without further damage, getting ickson at the plate, striking out ,and having the third batter thrown out. A hit by Nyborg, Linn's error on Fresen's bunt, and singles by Frickson and Ahlgren gave the Swedes two more runs in the last in- | ning.
