- BESS00LES0S0006000 08000 ‘Speaking "‘of Sports » |George (“Yordy”) Osborne had a leat day in the City league Satur- ly afternoon. Since he was beaned % Quarti a few weeks ago he has n ball-shy and desirous of quit- g baseball. In fact, it took long ading to get him to go home and #t on his uniform Saturday. P} f 'And then what did he do? In the #1d, he made only 18 putouts, six } them unassisted and nearly all of tem difficult, and started one @ ruble play, while in the first in- ng he got all three batters witho- bt a bit of help. At the bat he bercame his fear and drove in ree runs with a pair of hits, and & ht for Rose's home run. Osborn’s bcond hit would have won the kme for the Speedboys. After a | by like Saturday he should have 4 ls confidence back again. In the wild and wooly seventh of is game, the Speedboy team was most crippled. Miller landed on be back of his head in sliding into ird and a moment afterwards ichmyer flopped on his face in a ve for the plate, both men being mporarily dazed. The two cripples E:z their arms around each other v d staggered over to the soda stand r first aid. Zaiko almost got away with some- ing in the same inning, Erickson ing called out at the plate on a ng slide. “Osky" had sense enough sit up again quickly, and the Burritt catcher was seen fumbling kantically beneath the runner for fhe ball, so Campbell quite properly 7 leversed his decision. Campbell, by the way, is a hard an on base-runners. If the play is f fertectly made and it 1s close, he variably calls the runner out.

Larry Mangan doesn’t miss much. He did miss one in ‘this game, though, and it caused a lot of mer- biment. There was a man on second When a batter hit a grounder. Jack Daly thought there was a man on first and threw to second. Larry made the same mental lapse and Berked up his thumb to call out a Tunner who didn’t exist. The ball was then relayed to first and an ap- jparent double play completed, but then Mangan tumbled, scratched his head and laughed it off. The Gascos will tackle the Kens- Ington Tabs in Kensington tomorrow ‘night in the second clash of the sea- 'son between the twd. The Gascos lwent down to defeat in the first game and are.out to seek revenge tomorrow night. The Pirates will practice tomor- row night at Willow Brook park at 7 o'clock. All members of the team are requested to be on hand. CHURCH LEAGUE Two Scheduled Games and One Post- poned Contest to Be Played at Willow Brook. Two regularly scheduled games and one posponed affair will be played by the Inter-Church league teams at Willow Brook park this evening. All three figure to be good ones, as they bring together teams which are evenly matched or are great rivals. The St. Matthew's Ger- man Lutherans, knocked out of first place last Friday, tackle the Every- man's Bible class and will have to win if they are to retain even a des- pairing hope of capturing the title. The Bible class has bheen coming to the front in its late games and will make the St. Matts step, so that the game should be a close one. It will be played on the *grass diamond.” Two deadly rivals will meet on Diamond No. 2, where the Center and South Congregational churches clash. On performance the South church has a big margin on its op- ponents, but when the teams met before the Center church won its cnly game of the season. It always works its best against the South church, so it is figured no set-up this evening and the South church, battling for third place, will play hard. The Trinity Methodists scheduled to meet Kensington on Diamond No. 1, but they will add one to the number of victories and let it go at that. The Swedish Beth- any church has been secured to play the Methodists instead of the defunct suburbanites. This game was rained out on May 9, the opening night of the season, and will be played oft now. The teams are well matched and a winner is impossible to pre- dict. were BASEBALL'S BIG FIVE - By the United Pross.

Umpire—Man- Junior City League The Phantoms slugged out a 17 to 8 victory over the Burritt Jun- jors in' a Junior City league game Iplayed Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock. There was no doubt as to the outcome after the four inning, at which time the winners were leading 7 to 1. Klopp pitched a fine game for the winners, holding the Burritts in check until the latter part of |the game when he eased up. John- ny Carr was the hitting star of the |game, collecting three safe blows |in as many official times at bat. Tn the sixth inning the Phan- toms went on a hatting |which, coupled with erratic fielding hy the Burritts, brought in nine runs. During this melee, 12 Phan- toms went to bat. Mangan, Pelewa and Zisk played well for the Burritts. The feature of the game was a fine running catch of a long foul off Lipski's bat by Buchos. The summary: PHANTOMS R. H.P.

Wi FONS PORTER IS TOURNEY WINNER Captures Honors in Twilight Golf at Shuttle Meadow | Tt doesn't pay for a golfer to take |a day off while an important tour- nament is on. This can well be {ascribed to Ted Hart who, because |of the call of the muskellongs was | stronger than the grind of 18 holes, went out fishing during the past to cop the 72 hole twilight tourna- ment at the Shuttle Meadow club with a net score of 276. It may have been an accident ana it may have been intentional be- cause Ted Hart was leading up to the last week but many of the mem- bers of the club are satisfied that Hart is playing to have big stakes offered for a match with Fons to sece which is really the best golfer. It Ted didn't go fishing, then some- thing went wrong because no card for the week was turned in. Porter's score was just good enough to top Erny Humphrey who camo in with a grand total for the 72 holes of 277. The battle was a nip and tuck affair right through the four weeks of play up to the last eighteenth hole. Fons, however, arose to the occasion and failed to slip at the critical moment as many had expected. ; wl Highee, Russ Germond and | C. H. Baldwin were well up in the running but the glory for the four | his excellent shooting. Something went #rong at the club Saturday or else the hot weather | dulled the creative genius of the en- |tries in the weekly tournament be- |cause the members of the club clected to pass by the alibi tourna- ment and they played a sweepstakes instead. Minds were sluggish and it was feared that cnough excuses couldn’t be thought up and that's the real reason why the alibi “con- test was passed by the boards. nk Shields won with a net of .
