By the Associated Press . The open season on pennant con- tenders is here again. The last month or 80 of the baseball season usually is rich in drama for then it is that cellar or near-cellar dwellers delight in knocking the props from under pretenders to haseball's two major crowns. The Boston Braves, notorious in the last few years for their abi take the wind out of sails appa set for a pennant winning crui crushed the New York Giunts in three straight games this week in a serles that saw most of the fight gone from the Giants just when they needed a few victorics to bolster shattered confidence. The fall of the Cincinnati Reds from the heights they held earlier in the year in the National league dates to a series they played against the last pl Phillies. The kLeds lost four stra at that time and their play for weeks afterward was below form Yesterday the Philudelphia Athl tics and the New York Yankees, | fighting a two club battle for the American league pennants were cut | down by foes they sh-uld have de- feated with little trouble, the Yanks bowing to the Washington Senators and the A’s t othe last place Boston Red Sox. These reverses left the A's two and a halt games back ol the defending champions. - | In final analysis, ot course, it was the A’'s who suffered most. As long as the A's don’t win the Yanks lose pothing but prestige when they themselves are defcated, or to put it another way, you can't gain ground in a pennant rase by losing games. “8ad 8am” Jones was the immedi- ate cause of the kees' defeat at ‘Washington.

Landers R. & Fafnirs Paper Goods Stanley Rule N. B. Machine The American Paper Goods team finished its schedule in the Indus- trial League last evening at Walnut Hill park by defeating the New- matics § to 3. The latter team was handicapped by the absence of sev- eral of its regular players and it was necessary for Coach Harry Linnehan to play centerfield while Billy Fitz- lpulrlck performed in rightfield. Linnehan proved to be a star at the bat connecting for three safe hits in four trips to the plate. Jim McCormick was on the mound for the winners and although touch- ed for nine hits managed to keep them so well scattered that he was never in danger. Ernie Anderson was the victim of wretched support and kept the winners from piling up a bigger score by fanning tvelve batteys. The Paper Goods assured them- selves of victory tn the opening in- ning when they scored four times. Maguda walked. Joe McCormick beat out a hit to Maher after Maguda had stolen second. Maguda made third on the hit. ‘Warren grounded who nailed Maguda Warren reaching first to the pitcher at the plate, and McCor- | mick third. Jim McCormick ground- |ed out to Matis and Joe McCormick |scored. Williams and Sullick singled |in succession, Warren scoring. Kane hit a long fly to center which Linne- han failed to reach and Williams and Sullick counted. In the second frame the winners scored once more on Maguda's double and errors by Maher and Matis. In this inning Anderson fanned three of the winners. An error by Swanson gave Maguda cnd and scored when Swanson made another error on Jim McCormick's grounder. The next two men were Williams then doubled and Sullick singled, Williams mak- ing third on the latter hit. Kane then hit a grounder over second and due to slow fielding made third, only to be called out for not touching first. No runs scored on the play. The losers scored on~ run in the |opening inning when Pattison reach- ed first when Maguda throw from Jim McCormick. He stole sacond and scored on H. An- derson’s double. A hit by Linne- han, & pass to Fitzpatrick and a double by Haincs gave the losers two more runs in the eighth, The features of the game were the of Williams and Linnchan and the catch of a foul fiy by Sul- lick off Swanson in the fifth.

The Burritts are practicing at the ficld this afternoon jat 5:30 o'clock while Manager John Cabay has been assured that all of his players will be in tip top form for the game. Both managers are mulling over their rosters and trying to reach a | decision on the lineups for the gaine Sunday. Kach, without a doubt, will use the strongest possible lineup and because of the ability of most of the men selected in the lists of 18 playe ers allowed each team, both Manager Cabay and Manager Lusky are finde ing it difficult to select the absolute. ly best, While the players are under the same kind of a strain under which a prize-fighter labors before the eve of his big battle, the arguments be- tween the backers of both clubs are waxing stronger and stronger. Though the elder team in point of play and experience and a really | representative club of the Polish section, the Falcons are by no means | the favorites. Nearly two-thirds of | the Northwestern section, the home of New Britain's Polish people and |'the fifth ward, is behind the Burritt club. Although wagering on the out- come of the game is comparatively light, the strong talk being used at the present time makes it certain that thero will be plenty of spirit among the fans at the field. The Burritts last night staged a monstrous rally at the club rooms. Like a college undergraduate body | preparing for the big game of the vear, the Burritts have formed a cheering section that will be at the game in full force Sunday. Yells and songs have been prepared and if the volume of sound is as great Sunday as it was last night, there will be plenty of noise at the field. Supreme confidence is being ex- pressed by Manager Willlam Lasky of the Burritts and this is reflected in the feelings of the members of his team and the members and backers of the club, On the other hand, Manager Cabay of the Falcons is visibly worried over the pitching situation for his team. Since the an- nouncement was made that Atwood would not be with the team for the first game, Cabay has been turning to Johnny Rose. Whether Rose will be able to turn the Burritts back or not is a question and Cabay is doubt- ful. Both teams must be on the field with preliminary practice finished Sunday at 2:30 eo’clock. Then each outfit will be given 15 minutes for infield work and the game will be started promptly at 3 eo'clock.
