By the Associated Press. * To their own impotence against the 8t. Louis Cardinals, as much as to any other one factor, can the Pittsburgh Pirates blame their fifth place standing in the National league when they were ranked 1-2-3 by virtually every baseball expert in the country before the 1928 campaign opened. The 1927 champions engaged the league-leaders in mortal combat yes- terday for the 19th time, and for the 14th time had only a defeat to show for their efforts. Only the Boston Braves and the Phillies have done worse against the Cards. Burleigh Grimes, who ran up a string of 22 victorles without a whole lot of trouble, is finding No. 23 his jinx. He tried for it again yesterday and apparently had it when George Harper, a pinch hit- ter, socked the ball into the right fleld stands in the last half of the tenth, and scored behind Jimmy Wilson with the run that gave the Cards the game, ¢ to 3. A few minutes before, Paul Wan- er's homber with Brother Lloyd on base in the ninth, had tied up the game, and Grimes apparently won it in the first half of the ninth when he singled, scoring Secott with the third Pirate run. That tally inci- dentally was the only one not scored directly by home runs. The league leaders’ first two runs were person-4 ally accounted for by Chick Hafey | when he drove the ball into the stands with Bottomley on base in the ffth. Grimes allowed only six hits against Clarence Mitchell’s seven but in home runs the Cards led two to one, and that was the margin of ultimate triumph. With all other National teams idle, $t. Louis increased its lead over the second place New York Giants to four and a half games. In the only American league con- test, Alphonse Thomas pitched the Chicago White Sox to a 2 to 1 vic- tory over the Cleveland Indians. All the scoring was done in the first in- ning. After that Thomas and John- | The Sox, | # by virtue of their triumph, moved | ny Miljus were invincible. back into a fourth placé tie with the Washington Senators. Rain halted the Yankee-Senators game at the Yankee stadium but it couldn't prevent 5,000 fans from lin- ing up outside Yankee headquarters in search of tickets for the “crucial” | New York-Philadelphia series which | starts with a double header here Sunday, Most of these dyed-in-the- wool fans got nothing for their pains but the information that all the re- ‘served seats already had been dis- posed of and that they could do some more waliting at the stadium Bunday when 40,000 tickets go on sale. ican Leagu American e CHICAGO AB Swanson, 2b Hunnefleld, | apsasseswig Sl s s i a..u:aw-s-.-g | b wlosoomocesont Zes ] o 7 TP A Dorman, 1t Lind, 2b J. sewell, Hodapp, 1b Summa, rf L.

Tomorrow the team goes to Wind- sor Locks to play the team there in {what is thought to be the last game in the Connecticut S8tate Basebali league for the Paper Goods |town team. On Sunday, Kensington | meets the Rangers in the second |game of the scries in the elimina- |tion play for the city baseball | championship. | Kensington faces a tough con- |tender tomorrow in Windsor Locks. | The up-state team, a late comer into the ranks of state league teams, has made all the teams in the cir- cuit travel at top speed to turn them back and so far the crew has made a good bid to come out on top in the standing. Kensington's biggest problem at the present time is its staff of pitch- lers. West hasn't yet recuperated from a recent injury and Scriminger |appears to be the best bet of the team. Kensington will have its back te |the wall Sunday when it meets the | Rangers for a second time. Defeated in the first game of the series last Sunday, the Kensington team will have to win this coming Sunday or be considered out of the running for the city championship. The Rangers are more confident than ever that they are set to win. | All doubts as to their standing with respect to the other teams in the city, have been dispelled because of the great showing made by the {team in its games with the Falcons and Kensington. This has given the players the ambition to clean up | Kensington Sunday and there should be plenty of fireworks when the clash starts. Kensington is worked up to & fever pitch over the game and the fans there will be in attendance to a man and to a woman. Kensing- ton has one of the largest follow- ings of women rooters of any team |in the state. Both games will be played at 8 o'clock. FOOTBALL PLANS Largest Squad of Candidates in High School's History Expected Out Next Week, Football at the New Britain high school will get under way within a day or two after the opening of school next Monday. It is expected that one of the largest football \squads in the history of the school wiil be out for places on the team. The veteran regulars who are left to make up the nucleus of the team are Captain Louis Landino, quarter- back; Alex Zaleski and Michael Grip, | halfbacks; Eddie Sowka, fullback; Casale, center; Bill Kuhs, guard who will probably play tackle; Ne- vulis, tackle. Other veteran substi- tute material is “Gunny" Nelson, end; Ludowilz, tackle; Croll. guard; Mangan, end and backfield; Connell, guard; Grzybowski, end and back- field; and Yahn, end, Some of the new men who will probably do well in the try-outs are Joe Potts and Joe Bogdanski of baseball fame.

ARGOSY 15 AGAIN LEADING BATTER Ranger Third Baseman Pushes Average Over 500 Mark Milo Argosy, husky Ranger third baseman, regained sole possession of first place in the race for City league “batting honors and actually pushed his already exceptional aver- age past the .500 mark by getting two hits in three trips to the plate last week. Milo has now driven out 13 hits in 25 times at bat for an av- crage of .520. Jimmy Kane, Tab utility man, was idle last week and his mark remained at {ts former point, .500. Kitzpatrick of the same team also has a .500 average for one game. Mickey Buckeri, shortstop for the Burritts, got two out of four and in- creased his percentage by one point, kolding third place Billy Burko of the Cardinals went hitless and fell oft 50 points but managed to cling to fourth position, while Kania kept a 70-point drop. llarold Weir, Pirate captain, crept up into a tie for sixth place, while Huggy Carlson, pitcher of the same team, rose to eighth. Tommy Basil, the famed one-armed center flelder of the West Ends, continued his as- sault with three more hits and is well up in the race now after two weeks of terrible clouting. Two dozen men are now batting .300 or better. They are the follo: ing: M. Arsosy, Rangers, .520; Kane, Tabs, .500; Fitzpatrick, Tabs, .500; Buckeri, Burritts, .488; Burko, Cardinals, .421; Merline, Tabs, .400; Kania, Burritts, .385; Lindgren, Rangers, .37 Weir, Pirates, .375 Carlson, Pirat 375; Cormier, West Ends, .367; ose, Burritts, .367.

Harold Bacon, Card catcher, has taken over last place, having gone hitless in 11 trips to the plate. The lowest average that is an average is held by the Tab pitcher, McNamara. 1t is .091. Buckeri kept up his hitting and ran his total from 16 to 18 to re- tain the lead in this department. Basil and Stan Budnick are second with 14 apiece. Francis Begley add- ed two more runs to his record and his 12 give him a lead of four over his nearest competitors. The Burritt batting average fliv- vered 19 points but the team still leads with .277 the West Ends hav- ing climbed to second with .270 and the Pirates to third with .269.

Having won the championship of the Industrial Baseball league and pointing to the state championship in that class of baseball, the Stanley Works tesm tomorrow afternoon will enter into a new line of com- petition when it plays the Falcons at 8t. Mary's field. ‘The contest will start at 3 o'clock. A great deal of talk was oc- casioned by the work of the Stanley Works during the Industrial league season and many of the backers of the team were confident that the crew could take the measure of the Falcons in a contest. The proposi- tion was put up to Manager John JIMMY GREEN Cabay and he arranged for a game with Manager Jack Storey of the factory combination. On the roster of the Stanley Works are the names of several for- mer members of the.Falcon team. Jimmy Grecn, captain:of the shop team, formerly played. with the Fal- cons and was one of the stars of the local combination’ last season. Jack Parsons and Abramowlcz, first and third basemen respectively, are members of the Burfitt team which last week handed the Falcons an 11-inning defeat. Walter Bcott, husky right hander and ace of the Stanley Works pitch- ing staff, was one of the mainstays of the Falcons last season. He started out with the team this sea- son and ‘was not considered in the final makeup of the club. His one desire and ambition is to turn back his férmer mates. This, with the team behind him that gave him the will and the way to beat the other teams in the Industrial league, will be entirely possible tomorrow. Jack Schroeder, catcher, is one of the real ‘basehall veterans in the city. , He will be a real threat at the bat‘and fshould be able to cut down stolen bases in the game. Manager Storey is not entirely de- cided on his lineup for the game. He stated today that he might make slight changes in his infleld though l;e could not tell what these might e.
