Mike Lynch, baseball considercd by many followers in this city as | New Britain's leading baseball um- | | pire, has been signed to work at all the home games in Kensington for | the remainder of the season. Eddi¢ Crowley who has been the arbiter so far, has gone to Newark, New | Jersey, and Lynch will supplant | him. Mike will be behind the bat next Sunday.

The | | “Chick” Stanley was sent to the { mound. | Stanley was not near his old time form and showed evidence of having a sore arm which he developed sev- leral weeks ago while pitching |agninst the Newmatics. | When Stanley took up the hurling Lurden the s were filled and one man had scored and no one had been [ put out. L. Budnick th first man to |face him hit a trick bounder which {went over Stanley’s head and travelled in such a manner that it {could not be handled. This allowed a run to score and {kept the bases loaded. To relieve |the congestion Btanley made a balk which allowed a runner to score and \causcd the runners on first and sec- fond base to move up a peg. aleski apparently thought there were still too many runners on the paths so he relicved the situation by llowing a pitch to get away from him which let in another runner and | put & man on third. | Groman then hit a pop fly to Kania for the first out could not stand this success and {walked Procko. When the latter {tried to steal Zaleski made.a per- ifect short throw to Venturo who in {turn made a beautiful peg to Kania |to ceteh L. Budnick of third. It |was a splendid play. Stanley then waiked Noonan but Johneon made {the third out by flying to S Bud- Stanley | | crew by the score of 18 to 8. Of all the poor exhibitions given by the Rulers this season, last night's debacie was one of the worst on record for the entire year. Btarting off in the first inning with a nice shutout for last year champs, the Rulers then went crashing and be- fore the smoke had cleared in the second frame, Corbin's had nine runs, enough to win hands down. Rittner started on the mound for the Rulers. It is no wonder that he retired after the fourth inning be- cause the support accorded him was terrible. His team mnot only erred by commission but also by omission. On plays where the least bit of alert- ness would have shut off runs, his support was dead asleep on its feet and this all added to make the game a herrible portrayal of why pitchers sometimes fail to support prohibition. Schaefer relieved Rittner in the box and went along very well. Corrazzo | went In for tho three outs in the ninth. The Corhin team had a field day at bat. The team collected a total of 1% solid bingles for 18 runs. Stanley Rule wasn't far behind in the matter of safeties getting & flock of hits to total 15.
