STANLEY WORKS TO MEET NEW BRITAIN MACHINE IN FINAL DUSTY LEAGUE GAME—ANNUAL PLAYGROUND TRACK AND FIELD MEET AT WILLOW BROOK PARK TOMORROW—ENTRIES COMING IN FAST FOR CITY CHAMPIONSHIP TENNIS TOURNEY ROOT KEEPING CUBS IN PENNANT RACE BOSTON RED SOX HAVE WON SIX GAMES IN ROW Gain Another Victory By Jolting Tigers—Cleveland De- feats Senators—No Other Games Played In Nation- al Or American League — Rain Forces Postpone- ment of Five Contests — Chjcago Cubs Remain Three and a Half Games Ahead In Race. The fast traveling Red Sox have run their winning streak to six games. The rejuvenated Bostonians gained another victory in their drive to climb out of the American league cellar by jolting the Detroit Tigers vesterday, 3-2. A home run by Harry Heilmann and doubles by Waner and Gehringer provided the Detroit runs. Boston put over the winning talley in the third when Myer scored from first as Regan's grounder rolled through Gehringer to the outfield. | Shaute scattered the seven hits he allowed Washington and Cleveland won easi Johnson held the Indians scoreless for the first five innings and then weakened No other games were played in either the American or National league. Rain and wet grounds forced the postponement of five contests. The Chicago Cubs ained three and one half game 2d the National league race and today had a double header planned with the Brooklyn Dodgers, from whom they . won 12 of 13 games played. Joe MecCarthy's team is beginning to look like the strongest in the race. The Cubs’ chances, however, probably | will be decided on their next road trip. If the team can return to Chi- cago still in first place it will hav the drop on its competitors, as Chi cago will play 20 of its last 26 game at home. The showing of the Cubs at home is unsurpassed in the Na- tional league. By a freak in the schedules, New York will be without major league baseball for two days.

A program of 37 events for boys and girls representing the play- grounds of the city will be run off under the direction and supervision of Playground Supervisor Dick An- derson and his staff of assistants. The events carded for the meet will include competition for boys and girls of all classes attending the grounds. There will be track events and field events with special num- bers for the girls. The annual track and field meet for the playgrounds will bring out the best talent that has appeared at the grounds this summer. Prelimi- nary meets have been held at the various individual playgrounds and elimination contests have been staged by the directors to get the best possible representatives for the various events. Besides the regulation track and | I field events, therc will be a large number of special events such as throwing the basketball for distance for the girls and throwing bascball for distance for boys. There will be | a rooster fight, whicr in itself is a | barrel of fun both for contestants and for spectators. There will be po- tato and sack races for both the| boys and girls, long-legged races, obstacle races and many more events The program outlined this year by Supervisor Anderson ap- | pears to be one of the most inter. esting ever prepared. It is expected that a large num- | ber of the parents the partici- | pants in the meet will be on hand | to watch the events run off tomor- | row.

The Britain Machine team should prove to be a tough oppo- Inent in this, one of the most criti- |cal games of the season for the Stanley Works.
