Uy the Associated Press. When it cames to losing streaks the Phils can give any team in the National league, including the Bos- ton Braves, aces and spades and still have better than an even chance of victory. No other club in the circuit has developed to such a g degree the difficult art of away ball games. When the Quukers bowed to the Cardinals at St. Louis vesterday, § to 4, it marked their 12th consecu- tive defeat, eight of them, including the last three, by one run. This streak of reverses is the most successful the Phils have heen able to engineer this season. Previously 10 was their losing effort. They also had one streak of nine and two of five. The Braves aren’t so far be- hind at that, for they've lost ten, kicking elght and seven straight at various || times during the campaign. 0Old Grover Cleveland Alexander stood the Phils on their heads for eight innings in yesterday's battle, allowing only one hit in that time. But the Quakers knocked the veter- an out of the bhox in the ninth in- ning with a four run rally that just ,. failed to tie the score. Andy High, Cy Willlams and George Harper hit home runs, it being the latter's 13th of the season. Six games to the rear of the lead- ers, the New York Giants moved into second place by taking over the Chicago Cubs, ¢ to 3, the clan Mec. Graw scoring three runs in the last twe innings when Pat Malone, for- | mer American Association strike-out king, weakened. Larry Benton, who had finished elghteen of the twenty arguments he started this was removed for a pinch batsman in the seventh, and Left Faulkner was credited with the victory. Home runs by Bill Terry and Jim Welsh were all that saved the Glants from defeat. Malone fanned seven men but allowed ten hits. Red Lucas made the Braves jump through hoops all afternoon as the Cincinnati Reds evened the series, 4 to 3, and moved to within a game ot the third place Cubs. The Pittsburgh Pirates took it on the chin again at the hagds of the Brooklyn Dodgers, 8 to 7, in a wild, free hitting game. Six pitchers saw | service and only Watson Clark, the | third and last Robin twirler, was effective. The Philadelphia Athletics may not be able to make much of an im- pression on the lead the New York Yankees have amassed in the Amer- jcan league but at least they've demonstrated their ability to stave oft the bid of any rival club for sec ond place. The third place St. Louis Browns came to Philadelphia on Thursday within striking distance of the runner-up post but the A's beat them in both ends of a double head- er with Walberg and Rommel pitch- ing gilt edged ball. George Earn- shaw took his turn yesterday, al- lowed the Browns thrce scattered singles and fanned ten men as the A's made it three in a row, 4 to 0. Alvin Crowder pitched well enough to win most ball games but saw his winning streak of 10 games go to smash before Earnshi /'s mystery. Jimmy Foxx hit a single and two doubles and figured in the scoring of three of the A's runs. Washington rallied in the late in- nings to defeat Detrolt, 7 to 4. After Sorrell, starting Tiger hurler, had forced home the tying runs in the fitth, the Senators pounded Llam Van Gilder, Borrell's would-be res- cuer, for the winning runs in the sixth and seventh.

OTANLEY WORKS STILL WINNING Buttmakers Swamp Newmatics in Postponed Game League Standing - Stanley Works . 9 Corbins Pet.; 1.000 875 625 429 375 .383 250 000 The Stanley Works continued its march to the pennant in the Indus- trial Baseball league at Walnut NN park last evening when it defeated the New Britain Machine compuny, 11 to 2 in a game which had veen postponed from two weeks ago. Scott was in his usual fine form and |’ kept the losers well under control at all times. He was opposed by Ernie Anderson who also pitched well but was the victim of wretched support. 8cott's mates backed him up in first class manner, Scott and Schroeder did some hard hitting, the latter connecting for four hits including a double, while the former smashed out three safe Llows, two of which were doubles. Due to the form Scott showed from the beginning there was no doubt at any time as to the final result. The winners went into the lead in the opening inning due to some faulty playing on the part of the Newmatic infield. 8nycer opened the game by hit. ting the first ball pitched to center field for a single. This ball would Liave been fielded by a more active infield. Charlow sent Snyder to sec- ond with a fine sacrifice bunt down the first base line. Green groundcd out to Maher and Snyder reached third from where he scored on a screaching double to right center by Schroeder. » Parsons grounded to Patrus. He threw wild to first and went to third from where he scored on Ma~ her's error. The next tally for the winners came in the foyrth when Merline beat out a roller to Patrus. The latter fielded the ball cleanly but was slow in getting his throw to first. Wendroski sent Merline to second with a fine bunt. Salak singled to left and Merline acored. A single by Merline, another sacrifice by ‘Wendroski and Eric Anderson’s er- ror gave the Workers another run in the sixth, In the following inning the New. matic infield went to pleces and the winners counted five times on three hits, one of which was a grounder to Patrus which he fielded too slow- ly, a base on balls and three errors. The winners made one run in each of the next two innings on one hit in cach frame. The Newmatics aided these scores by their errors. The losers scored both of their runs in the eighth on Bcott's wild heave to first after fielding Cos- grove's grounder and successive singles by Maher, H. Anderson and Patrus, The cold weather and the light rain which fell during intervals made the game a rather listiess af- fair and there wasn't a fielding play worthy of special notice. 8cott fan- ued ten of the losecrs.

The individual title could be voted | to Hornsby by acclamation at this | moment if anybody but Paul (Big Poison) Waner were on the second rung of the ladder. True, however, the eld>r Waner languishes with a mere .374 for 81 games, but he has been showing a stubborn persistence in doing what he can to reduce the margin between himself and Horns- by—and with some success in tlLe last few weeks. Pitching honors still rest with Larry Benton of New York, who has for a percentage of .789. DBenton also has hurled eighteen complete games, and leads the league by an Irish mile in this respect. Burleigh Grimes of the Pirates also has won fifteen decision, but he has lost elght, and is rated no higher than .662. Burleigh leads in shut-outs with four. Carl Mays, with four victories and one defeat for .800, s the nominal leader of the pitchers, but has work- od in only five games. The first Cincinnati regular again is Red rucas, resting In hie customary spot right behind Benton. Red has won nine and lost three. Flint Rhem of 8t. Louis and the veteran TOM HEENEY Following Hornsby and Paul | Waner in individual batting are these regula Pitt burgh, .366 B is, | .359; Lindstrom York, .3 tese, New Yol Douthit, Louis, .345; Joston, .34 Rocttger, St. Louis, .341, and Her- mann, Brooklyn, .340. ' Asat 1 the second in battin tied with the Red lead in | fielding, each showing . The | neinnati double play crop now has | reached 111 with no signs of letting s are a fair with . nd are | up. The rise of the Pirates in gam won and lost, is reflected somewh: in the team batting where the Buc- caneers lead with .312, event in Calgary, Albe: i records for prices. Approximately 400 bulls were sold at an avera price of nearly $200. The cham- | plon Hereford sold for $1,125, Oh, Man! Artie Nehf, now toiling for the Cubs, share third honors, each with eight victories and three defeats for .727. With the exception of individual batting and p:tching, the Cardinals have practically a monopoly upon the varfous {ndividual tities. The field breaks through only in home rune where Hack Wilson of Chicago has a clear margin with 22, and even in this useful detail the Cards present their ewn representative in second place—Jim Bottomley, who has twenty. Bottomley also leads his competi- tors in runs scored with 81, in dou- bles with 30, in triples with 13, and in runs batted in with 79. His team- mate, Taylor Douthit, has the great- est number of hits of any player in the league, 128, and Frank Frisch manages to hold the lead in base stealing even though no bases what- ever can be stolen on a hospital cot. Fratnk had 16 when laid low by his latest injury. GAHE CANCELLED out a Contest, The Rangers are without a game for Sunday due to an eleventh hour cancellation by the Polish-American club of Rockville. The Rockville management claims that the ex- penses of the club would be too high and in view of the fact that the club now is in the hole for more than $200, it has been found neccs- sary to cancel the remaining games on the schedule. The game was scheduled at Wil low Brook park and it would have been an interesting battle because Rockville had broken the winning strcak of the Rangers. Manager ank Anastasio is working hard to | et another game, KENSINGTON GOES UP 70 TORRINGTON (South Enders Battling South Manchester This Afternoon | Kensingion pl: the second of {two hard baseball games over the |present week-end tomorrow after- |noon when the south end team goes up to Torrington for a return game | with the Pin City team. Last Sunday |these two outiits staged a sensa- tional battle in Kensington that went to the last of the ninth before it was ended. Then Johnny Grip slapped out a home run ending the contest. Tomorrow's battle should be a duplication of last Sunday's encoun- ter. Torrington has an ace in the box with Dudack in shape and he will probably be opposed by Walter Berg, husky right hander of the | Kensington staff. These two staged a pretty hurling ducl last week and with their outiits in good shape they should duplicate tomorrow. A large number of Kensington fans is accompanying the team on its trip. The Kensington manage- ment has chartered a bus for the accommodation of any of the fol- lowers of the team who wish to at- tend the game and many are avail- ing themselves of the opportunity to go on the ride. Manchester Today The Kensington team is battling the Manchester team this afternoon at 8 o'clock at Kensington. Having been bitter rivals since the start of the Conencticut State league, the two teams are to be at each other's throats all day today. Kensington will start West in the box. He joined the team last week. He was formerly a star slabman for the Un. of Penn. and his workout showed that he had plenty of stuff. Bus service will be furnished from 2 o’clock on from Upson’s Corner to the baseball fleld for the accommo- dation of visiting fans. PHOENIX TEAM WINS In a surprising reversal of form, the Phoenix, Odd Fellows team in the Fraternal League last night, swept the Mechanics off their feet and took a victory by the &core of 13 to 10. Last week the Phoenix team suffered a swamping by a 30 to 2 score at the hands of the Tabs but last night the team was in excellent thape. Despite the fact that the | Mechanics got away to a lead of four runs in the first, the Phoenix came back to win. The score: | Mechanics . {Fhoenix ...... LEGION GAME CANCELLED Rain forced the cancellation of the game between the Eddy-Glover post team and Hartford scheduled to be played last night at Walnut Hill park.

BURRITTS PLAY EAST HARTFORD Locals ek Revenge on Visitors for Last Sunday's Defeat Beeking revenge for a bad beat- ing administered to them last Sun- day in East Hartford, the Burritas Wwill clash with the Fast Hartford team at 3 o'clock tomorrow after- noon at Willow Brook park. The Burritts were considerably weaken- ened last week because of the ab- sence of nearly the entire infleld of regulars, These men will be back tomorrow and will be girded for battle. With the regulars in form, the Burritts are confident of winning the game. There will be plenty of fireworks when both sides get hitting because both teams are known as murder. ing crews when they swing into ac- tion. Since the opening of the Farm- ington Valley league, the Burritf have been hitting tough *“break that kept them from reaching that form which has kept them near the leaders in other circuits. Bhould the team lose to East Hartford tomor- row afternoon, it will be lone eccu- pant of the cellar, an unaccustomed place for the players on the team. Both crews will have their strong- st lineups in action and both will be anxious to win.
