Speaking of Sports v Wojack being is soundly criticized for his error Sat- urday afternoon, when he stood 15 feet from third and threw almost that many feet over Sheehan’s head. undoubtedly But those who have followed the West Ends closely are inglined to ex- cuse him, feeling that he probably grabbed the ball on one of the pery spots caused by Blanchard's spithall and that it flew from his grasp as he tried to toss it. The ball certainly described a weird course—and Blanchard’s spitter has caused similar slips before. As for Smithwick’s lapse of mem- ory—well, even the best must be ex- pected to slip once in a while, and Johnny does it less frequently than most. He is a smart catcher, is adept at holding poor pitches and has the fewest bases stolen on him of any pitcher in the City lea Whether or not the West Ends win the championskip, they must receive one title—that of the best sports in the league. There is not the semblance of a “crab” on the team, and not a single umpires de- cision has been protested or even growled about by a West End since the season opened. Taking over some phrases from boxing, the Pirates may be said to have scored a technical knockout over the Tabs when the umpires stopped the game in the sixth stan- ra to save the Tabs from further punishment, The game was a snap win for the Pirates, but Manager “Hook" Anasastio of the Rangers pulled a fast one by saying that his team beat the Tabs easier. Which was right, as the Tabs failed to show up and forfeited the game to the Rangers. Ken Saunders, Pirate manager, found something new to worry about and spent a customary uneasy aft- ernoon. He feared rain would stop the game before the fifth inning, and s well as players of hoth ms came in for criticism from him whenever he thought the game ‘was not being speeded up to the ut- most. Eddie McAloon, Pirate center fielder, was on the bench Saturday with a bad foot which he had cut during the week. 4 A lad named Egan was in right field for the Tabs and took a severe “riding” from McAloon. Kgan let all balls hit the ground before he went for them, and at bat he was of such a caliber that the Tabs just skipped him in their last time at bat. By then they were so far be- hind that nobody cared who hatted, 50 the Pirates said nething. “Speck” Howard scored from first on a single in this game—or, rather, Kane stopped at first on what was at least a double. Zapatka was in too close and had to chase Kane's fly. Howard got all the way around, but Kane played more than safe. Milo Argosy had a rare piece of good fortune Saturday. Seldom does a4 man have a second chance after one failure, but Milo did. In the seventh inning he went after a high pitch and grounded out, ending the frame and killing a Ranger rally which was threatening the Cardinats’ Iead, and it looked as if, despite, two previous hits, he was to be the “goat” of the conteat. —r But fate smiled upon Milo and brought him to bat again in the ninth inning with his team still a run behind and one man on base. This time Milo rose to the occasion by smacking the ball over the high screen in center field—the first time any City league player had accom- plished this feat—and won the game. So he is not a goat but a genuine hero. he Torrington club of the Con- necticut State league has withdrawn from the circuit, according to latest advices from headquarters in Meri- den. In the Pin City team's place is the Windsor Locks aggregation. The action of the Torrington man- agement was no surprise to the league heads because some time ago rumors were rife that because of poor support, the Torrington team woul¢ be out of the picture. The league will finish out its schedule with the Windsor Locks aggregation taking the place of the Torrington entry, Fans who attended the Falcon- New Haven game at St. Mary's fleld came away ¢sgruntled because the | visitors put up & sorry showing| against the local club. They claim that the promise of Manager John Cdbay of the Falcon club to have the best opposition available come here to play, has been forgotten. In justice to the Falcon manager, it must be said that the team which appeared here yesterday, was strong- ly recommended and Manager Cabay was under the impression that it would form worthy opposition for his club. It had won the champion- £hip of New Haven in a league com- posed of high caliber teams and there was every reason to belleve that the team would make a good attraction here. The opposite prov- ed to be the case, Manager Cabay is bringing the Lenox A. C. of Wallingford back here next Sundas. This team gave the Falcons a stiff rub a few weeks ago and since that time, it has been reorganized. Manager Cabay doesn't care for easy teams any more than his players do.

POLICE FACE MYSTERY IN NEW JERSEY MURDER !Man Found Shot Through Head and Back and Burned Bejond Recognition. Englewood, N. J., Aug. 6 (®—The police today were faced with a mys- tery in ‘the murder of a man, shot through the head and back and then burned ulmost beyond recogni- tion The body was found by a ber- rypicker in a cope along a well traveled road atop the Palisades. The police laid the murder to a gang feud. They expressed the be- llef that the dead man had been “taken for a ride,” probably in New York, and that after he had been killed his body was conveyed to the spot where ft was found and the clothing set afire. An autopsy re- vealed that the man probably was dead when his clothing was satur- ated with gasoline and fired. The victim was about 30 years old, weighed about 140 pounds and was about § feet 8 inches tall. He had brown eyes and hair. Remnanty of his clothing showed it to have been a blue suit with a white pin stripe. The fact that ~the hands were more charred than the rest of the body strengthened police belief that it was a gang killing, as they be- lieved a special effort had been made by the Killers to preclude the possibility of identification by find gerprints, If the dead man had had no police record this would hardly have been necessary, they pointed out, as only the fingerprints of a man with a police record would be available for checking. The bullet hole in the head showed powder been killed at close quarters. The skull also had been fractured by a blow from behind. BRENNAN IS BETTER Chicago, Aug. 6 UP—George E.
