NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSD MAY 24, 1928, EYES OF BASEBALL WORLD NOW TURNED ON MACK AND HUGMEN—HIGH SCHOOL TAKES ANOTHER CHANCE—COLLINSVILLE TROUNCES TRADERS—TONIGHT SEES ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT IN NEW YORK—PAYNE IN VAN OF BUNION RACERS 'YANKEES AND ATHLETICS ALL SET FOR FIGHT FOR LEADING LEAGUE HONORS| Red Sox Lose, 2-1 to Hugmen—Philadelphia Americans Polish Off Senators, 4 to 2—Triple Play Features Cleveland’s Loss to White Sox — Browns Hand Tigers Double Jolt—Reds Still Hold League Lead in National. the Assnciated Pre: After fattening on the rest of the league for a month, the Yankees and Athletics were prepared today 10 begin a hand-to-hand struggle for the lead in Barney Barnard's loop. This personal encounter was sched- uled to extend over five distinct e gagements beginuing with a double | header in Shibe Park this afternoon, Another double mecting is on the card tomorrow and a single game is a Connie Mack the Huggins He Moses Grove, Rube Walberg and Ossie Orwoll, his southpaw sharp- | shooters, as well as the veteran John Picus Quinn and Edc Rommel, who fire from the right. Just whom | Huggins will piteh is as much a mys- tory to Huggins himself as to the casual bystander. Pennock will start, and after that anybedy In spite of the hullabaloo over this series, it is significantly true | that the Athletics need five straight to take the lead, for all of their grand record of twenty-one victories in their last twenty-five starts, Amer- ican league magnates chill even the thought of four victories in the series by the Yanks, who, incident- ally, have taken twenty-one of their 1a than the Athletic record. The fans are making the this akirmish. It may be it makes any difference. The Yankees prepared themselws vesterday for the start of their sterner battle by shading the Ited Sox, 2 to 1, to make it thre out of four from Bill Carrigan's Uristling warriors, The Yanks made | their six hits good for a pair of early runs, and then fended oft the sSox, whe, made desperate by their failure, plunged recklessly to their doom. With none on in the seventh Phil Todt touched Henry Johnson for his third homer of the series and his sixth of the season. Up again in the cighth with threc on and two out, Philip rolled gently to Johnson. He did this well only after having con- vinced an umpire that he had meant “ball twe” when he said “strike three,” this reversal was the 1,000th chance, proving the rule. Then in the ninth Taitt got his sccond triple with one out, and the squeeze was on. It worked perfect- ly that Gerber overlooked the nec- casity of bunting the ball, and Taitt was an easy out. Jack Russell pitch- ed for Boston. The Athletics closed their practice session by outpointing the Senators “for the fourth successive time. One ‘William Shores held Washington to four hits and won by 4 to 2, per- mitting more important boxmen to await the Yankees in leisure, A triple play featured the after- noon in Chicago, as the vanishing Amertcans of Cleveland fell further from the running. The White Sox won their second straight—4 to 3 in ten innings this time—and would have closed it out in the ninth if Kamm and Schalk had not permit- ted themsclves to be tripled trying to advance after.

After man- | ging the St. Louis Cardinals in 1 when that team captured the world’s championship, Hornsby w {traded to w York. He was sent 1o Boston in a deal that left bascball fans gasping and was fraught with| rumors of strifc between Hornshy and John J. McGraw, manager of the Giants, Officials of both clubs denied, | however that there was anything mysterious about the trade in which] the Braves parted with two young | players in return for the scrvices of the peerless “Rajah.” Hornsby was siven a three year contract at $40,-| 000 & year. Last February there was talk of | possible dissension between Hornsby and his manager which was accen- tuated when Slatte was recalled to Boston on April 7 for what w described as a business conference But both * the Rajah and| club officials have persistently nied the possibility of rivalry and the two principals have never lost on opportunity to speak of each oth- er in cordial terms. Today it became known that Hornsby had been persuaded 10 1 over the helm only after much per- | suasion and that the rumors of “un- | dermining” which had been current when he was sent here from New | York have influenced him to such an extent that he told President Fuchs {he would rather be traded to some {other club than to seem to have| forced Slattery out. has | best second | | | | nim that the change was inevitabl and that to part with Hornsby would leave the club in an cxtremely weak- cned condition. It was only then, according to the story, that th Braves' captain acceoted.

Cambridge, Mass, May 24 UP—So much has been said about the prow- fas of the invading track and field stars from California for tomorrow nd Saturday’s intercollegiate cham- plonships hers, that abilitics of the east’s entrants seem to have been all but lost sight of. Delegations from Southern Calil- fornia and Leland Stanford went | through brisk drills yesterday and at their conclusion Dean Cromwell, their coach, claimed at lecast 20 points for his boys while “Dgnk” Templeton, &tanford mentor, pree aicted his track and ficld perform- ers would collect 35 others, That left only 20 points to be spread among the 29 other colleges but there were indications that the casy assumptions of both Californi ans would suffer rude revisions if the eastern stars had anything to do about it. Cromweil figured that Charles Borah, intercollegiate sprint chame pion, would repeat his double win inthe 100 and 220 and lee Barnes {pole-vaulter extraordinary, would heat Sabin Carr of Yale and that the seven other members of his squad would annex five points between them. Templeton was ne less optimistid jover his men who included Bob King who established the high jump rec- ord of 1926, Ward Edmonds, whe finds no difficulty in clearing the bar at 13 feet nine inches and Bud Spencer, &peedy quarter-miler with record smashing ambitions. Stellar performers in the east will come from Yale, Harvard, Penn ate, Dartmouth and Brown, to mention only the leaders. Yale has Carr, vault champion, whose record | of 14 feet stands despite Barnes® re- cent world beating mark of 14 feet, 113 inches which has not yet been | officlally accepted. | _Jdohns Colller of Brown and . Monty Wells, of Dartmouth, are | both high class hurdlers. The lat- {ter captured the 120 yard highs a {year ago with Colller second. Jim- my Quinn of Holy Cress who took | two eprints at the New England in< | tercollegiates a week ago is expects ed to give Borah and Draper, South- | ern California sprinters something to think about, In the running high jump Dart- mouth has Tom Maynard, who took the intereollegiate titls a year age while Edmund F. Rlatk of Maina is !looked upon as a probable winner of the hammer throw. He has beat« | en 168 feet this year. Bill Cox, Penn State defending mile champlon, Charles P. Sansone of Colby who | finished s=cond to him last vear, and { Ralph Luttman of Harvard, anothen | 3 | | | _ | Baker, Mitehel Field soldler, won an | SPecdy miler. seem on paper to have | the event sewed up. Coe of tan- | ford is an outstanding two miler but | Jimmy Reid of Harvard s favored to win. In the quarter-mile .. P. Ross of | Yale s given at least an even | chance against Emerson L. S8pencer | of Stanford. | All in all, the east expect to maka heavy inroads into the total peints and it would not be surprising if the | far west was forced to be content | with something less than their first | estimate. | | ADS FIELD.
