Spedklngi of Sports ‘There will be no trip to New York this year for the championship team in the Rotary Boys' Baseball league, according to a decision reached by the members of the committee in charge of the affair. Instead, the members of the Washington team. championship outfit, will be award- ed large sweaters with their mono- gram W on it During the past two seasons, the New York trip has proved to be an expensive affair. Interest in the boys league has declined among the members of the club because they feel that having started it, others| agencies should take it over. Mem- bers of the Rotary club feel that the city is the rightful promoter of t:e boys' league. Others ree in this. ‘With all the baseball on tap over the week-end, New Britain fans will have plenty of opportunity of seeing the best in the city in action. Inter- est of the deepest sort is being shown in the game tomorrow after- noon between the Stanley Works and the Faicons. Many are predict- ing that the Falcons, shocked and surprised last Sunday, will be doubly shocked when the Stanley Works plays them tomorrow. Castofts have been the bane of the Falcons’ existence in past cham- pionship series and the same holds good this year. Last Sunday it was Bruno Kania, former Falcon pitch- er, who put the skids under the team and worked his way through to a victory. Tomorrow it will be Scott, mainstay of the Falcon team last season, who will be working against his former mates. Both he and Kania are fired with a feeling akin to resentment and to them it isn’t just a matter of pitch- ing baseball, it is proving to the Falcons that although they weren't considered good enough to represent the Falcons on the mound, they are good enough to beat the Falcons in a game. Kania came through last week. Scott wants to come through tomor- row and when the big fellow is go0d, he 18 good in a superlative de- gree. The Stanley Works rooters will be out in force tomorrow afternoon to cheer their team on, The Ialcon backers yill also be there and there is going to be plenty of fun. A movement is on foot in the In- dustrial league to throw out the two postponed games which were scheduled last night. This question will be decided at a meeting in the Y. M. C. A. tonight. The question of Landers protest un the forfeited game in which the controversy over the rules on stall- ing arose, will probably not be de- cided at tonight's meeting because of the absence of Umpire Mike Lynch. In the Fraternal league tonight the Arcanums will play the Tabs end the Phoenix will play the Me- chanics, Trv to Save Fourth Life in Poisoning Boston, Sept. 7 P—Physicians at the City hospital, today were fight- ing to save the life of Douglas Hunt, victim of a mysterious poisoning which the past week has claimed the lives of his three young broth- ers, the only children of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hunt of the Dorghester district. Robert Hunt, one year old, dic at the institution last night. His death closely followed those of Ar- thur Jr., 5 years old, and Eugene i Medical Examiner Leary will per- form an autopsy on Robert's body today in an effort to determine the nature of the illness. The parents were prostrated. WHERE AMERICAN LEAGUE Yesterday's Results Chicage 2, Cleveland 1. New York-Washington, rain. Philadelphia-Boston, rain. (Other clubs not scheduled). The Standing w. L.

In its decision. the committee an- nounced that it was well aware that this system of disposing of the money would meet with much criticism. It was pointed out that under the rules none of the en trants was entitled to a cent. The prizes were offered for swimmers who finished the race, and for those only. The split-up plan was decided | on as the only practicable method by which good performances in the marathon could be rewarded. Realizing the swim was unsatis- factory from a number of angles. the committee decided that a race of from two to five miles should be held tomorrow afterncon. Elwood | Hughes, swim director, was given & free hand to work out details of the race. He may conduct two races, one for the speed stars the other for those noted for their endurance. 0 others who swam not nearly so far Michel claimed that someone in a judge’s boat had called out to him that he needed only to exceed the distance swum by Vierkoetter to win the first prize of $25,000.
