Urban's fast one may have most of its zip and that curve net be what it was fen years ago. but backed by a brain that tells where 1o put each ball and the con- trol to obey his brain's directions, | “Red" is doing very well indeed. ' thank you After the Yankees had taken over the Sox 1n the first three games of the current series, Faber yesterday toek up the task of stopping the champions and saving something | out of the wreckag He was quite equal to the emer- gency. the Yankees hit him hard | and often. but the veteran's cour- age and brain, as well as his bat carried the Sox through to a 6 to 4 vietory. Incidentally the champions saw anp eight game winning streak smapped. As usual. “Red” pitched skullfully and successfully to Babe Ruth who made four official frips to the plate and batted precisely noth- ing flat. To add insult to injury, it was a single by Faber that drove in | the wining runs in the eighth After a disastrous visit to Phila- delphia, the third place §t.

The Hardware City outfit barely nosed out the opposition in Sat- | urday’s game by the score of 3 to 2 The game was well-played and the winner was in doubt right up to the last. Hartford scored in the second on two singles and an error. Again in the third the Capital City team scored again on a double, a sacri- fice and a single. Skonieczny, local first baseman, was injured on this play and was taken to the Hartford hospital for treatment. The Eddy-Glover post team scored in the fifth on a walk and a dou- ble by Flood.

Timely hitting in the early innings ' brought the Falcons their seventh straight victory yesterday afternoon at §t. Mary's field when they defeat- ed the strong Insilco nine of Meriden {by @ 5 to 1 score. It was the Fal. cons’ ninth win in 12 starts and At- | wood's seventh win since joining the |Falcons. The game was witnessed |by one of the largest crowds of the |season and the fans were treated to to a fast exhibition of ball “Lefty” Atwood allowed but eight |hits and one run but was away off {form. The fielding and hitting of his teammates pylled him through {to a win. The portsider was miss. |ing his curves and was very wild |during the gime. Eight men re. |ceived walks from him. As usual, however, Atwood came through with | men on the bases and escaped with- second or third innings. Both teams Put men on the bases in the fourth but they were left stranded. The Falcons started hitting again in the | Afth. After Soule and Lewis had grounded out Klatka smashed out his second hit. McKernan caught one of Nagle's pitches on the nose and crashed out a triple scoring Klatka. De Vito sent McKernan home on his single into left field In the seventh, the visitors put two men on the bags with hits but Atwood forced Winterhause to pop out for the third out. Two walks put Atwood in a hole again in the eighth but Filipeck flied out to De Vito for the third out.

Fielding features were turned in by O'Brien and Baylock for Eddy- Glover post. Kapure struck out 13 New Britain batters but the number roved to be a jinx. Zembrowski and Flood hit hard for the winners while Hurley was the star of the out being scored upon. The veteran “Casey” Nagle hurled for the Meri- !den aggregation and was hit hard in the first few innings. He settled down after a bad startin the open- {ing stanza and pitched a steady |game of ball but was forced to take |the losing end when his teammates failed to hit in the pinches. .Both tegms played a fast fielding long liner that looked like a threa bagger. Soule made a wonderful catch of the ball and there were two outs. Patroske walked. Thomas pinch-hitted for Winterhouse and promptly dropped a hit into right field.
