By the Associated Press. ] With the wire and pennant vic- | tory in full view, baseball's thor-| oughbreds, responding gamely to whip and spur, gallop down the ma- jor league home stretch in a driving S finish so hot and furious that even at this late stage the naked eye can not, with certainty, discern the ulti- mate winners. Of the field of 16 that started 8o | i contidently in the spring, only four real contenders, two in each league, | remain. The rest are also-rans, more or less content to finish this race without undue effort and wait for the next to roll around. i With only a week to go, the pen- | nant struggle in each league has de- | wveloped into a duel, rather than a| general, free-for-all engagement. The Cardinals met this Giant vic- tory with one of their own over Brookiyn, 7 to 1. Jess Haines held | . the Robins to three hits and the| games really was decided as early as the third inning when Jim Bottom- ey sailed his 30th home run of the fmeason over the right field wall with two men on base. That blow tied #Sunny Jim" with Hack Wilson of ‘Chicago for the league’s home run leadership, and gave the Cards a 5 [('Rour to 0 lead. The Yanks and Athletics kept step in the American league, the cham- pions defeating Cleveland, 5 to 0, while the A's were defeating the St. Louis Browns, 11 to.7. Waite Hoyt pitched his 20th vic- tory of the year for the Yanke: giving the Indians only four hits.| The Yanks, on the other hand, lpounded Joe Shaute for 11, two of which went to the well-known orge Herman Ruth who has been 1n a terrible slump for a week. Ruth pulled up lame after running out a single In the eighth inning and had to retire, A four-run rally in the ninth gave the A's their victory over the Browns, three of them riding home on a home run by Jimmy Dykes. Heinie Manush took advantage of some ineffective pitching by George Walberg and Eddie Rommel to get | four hits. The Chicago White Sox moved np 1o a tie for fourth place with Wash- ington by turning back the Senators in the first game of the series, 8 to Ted Lyons pitched eftectively hils Marberry was being slashed - 11 hits that came when the Sox +d runs and got them H National, the fight lies be- 2 the St + Yew York Giants with the Chi- o Cubs still mathematical con- ders, if nothing else. Only a game r the Cardinals, in first | place, from the runner-up Giants while the Cubs trail New York by three and a' half games. Two games ahead of the Phila- deiphia Athletics, their sole rivals, the New York Yankees are odds-on favorites to win thelr third American league pennant in a row, but over- whelming choices have been beaten before and Connie Mack's A's are not yet completely out of the run- ning. Although all of these contenders Were in action yesterday there was o change in their relative positions. The Giants had the closest escape. ¥hey were carried to 14 innings be- Yore they could nose out the Cincin- nati Reds, 2 to 1 in one of the finest games of the season at the Polo Grounds. Joe Genewich, who came | to the Giants from Boston with the Feputation of being an in-and-outer. as very much “in" yesterday. He eld the Reds to five hits during the #ntire game, and, strangely enough. fwas lucky to win. The Reds entered the first half of the ninth with the Bcore tie at one-all. Wally Pipp led ©ff with a triple and it appeared that hothing could prevent the big first | baseman from scoring. But Jimmy Welsh came to Genewich's rescue when his rifie arm caugh' Pipp at the plate when he tried to score on llen's fly to center field. The game was finally won on Jackson's line bingle in the 14th, which scored Lindstrom, who had singled. At Detroit, Phil Page, Eastern league recruit, won his second major league victory in as many starts when the Tigers beat Boston. 4 to 1. Page allowed seven hits, four of which went to Buddy Myecr.

Hn ILOGALS DEFEATED FOR FIRST TINE New Britain Soccer Team Bows t0 Strong Ha_niard United Crew The All-New Britain soccer team in the state league played its third game at Willow Brook park. in this city yesterday afternoon and suf- fered its first defeat of the season, bowing before the strong Hartford United team by the score of 7 to 1. From start to finish the local team was outclassed in practically all departments of the game al- though the It half saw them play- ing a better 1 nd of ball than they displayed in i, opening period. The Hartford team is considered one of the classiest in the league and it left no doubt in the minds of the several ing in the league. Hartford started the game in high and stayed that way all the time, Little time was wasted show- ing the fans in the very first few moments that' the visitors could be counted on to put up a great game. [ New Britain kicked to Hartford and the latter immediately start-d marching down the field and when but one minute of the game had passed were within a few yards of the goal. Another half minute and Hartford got its first goal. J. Mont. gomery getting the point after his teammates had executed some pretty passwork. Themnext several minutes )| $aw the Hartford team come within inches of getting several more goals with New Britain desperately ight- ing. At the ten-minute mark the New Dritain team found itself and trom then on showed a complete rc- versal of form, but still it was not up to the standard shown by the visitors. The next 20 minutes saw both teams putting up a great game with- out scoring although they were both missing goals by small margins. At the half hour wark Montgomery came through to give his team a sec- ond point. Scven mere minute clapsed and Hartford got a third score, this goal being made by J. Wojtunik on a pretty pass. This third score acted like a tonic on the local players. They seemed to eject as they hurled themselves at thelr opponents and the next three min- utes gave them fighting madly in their opponent’s territory until they got their first and only score of the ame. The goal was made hy Frank Kullman. There was no further scoring until but about 40 seeonds of the game remained when Buch- anan of the visiting team kicked & neat low ball past the lecal goal tender to give Hartford a lcad of 4 to 1 for the half. After having some lemons, oranges and a rest period the men returned to the fold for the second and last period of play. Except for bruises on their foces and bodies they looked the same as when they had started. They did not play the same brand of ball, however. They played harder and better. With de- feat staring them in the face, the local men played like demons but the smooth working Hartford ag- gregation met ouslaught after on- slaught. Try as New Dritain might it could not pierce the strong de- fence Eet up by Its opponents. Hartford was also finding the going tongh this half. 1t took Hartford twenty-five min- utes to get its tirst score in this half and then it camg on an 11 yard peralty kick by Montgomery. At thirty minutes Buchanan hit a high ball straight for the central part of the goal post. Thoma, local goal tender jumiped high into the air, got both hands on the ball only to have it go on through his hands for Hartford's sixth goal of the game. Buchanan followed with another goal. his third, at the forty m'nute mark. It was the last score of the game. At times the game became rough and once, for a time, it looked as if the referce would atop play when a few players on each side started mixing it up, drawing a crowd of the fans around them. But fellow players rushed to the scene and in a few moments had dispers- ed the crowd and piay went on again. Frank Urban who was ropresent- ed as an Olympic player was with the local team for the first tim. vesterday afternoon and he played a scintiiating game at forward. He showed up superior to all on | ficld. Richard Haupt. right back. aiso put up a great battle until 10 minutes hefors the game cnded when he was put off the field for rough playinz.

Over 1,000 fans witnessed the classic game of the year yesterday afternoon at St. Mary's field when the All-Kensington nine won a heart-breaker from the Ialcon team in the first game of the city cham- pionship series by a 1 to 0 score. The decision came after nine innings of scnsational fielding and airtight pitching. Both teams fought hard and only a “break” in the eighth inning decided the issuc in favor of the Kensington crew. “Coke* Weodman, leading pitch er of the Hartford Kastern league nine, was on the mound for the win- ners and hurled a swect game, but Nichols, the Falcon twirler, was in great form and matched the work of the league star inning for inning ‘The Kensington team was held to six blows by Nichols while Woodman was limiting the local aggregation to the same number of blows. The pitchers were in complete control throughout the entire game, an er- ror in the eighth inning paving the way for Nichols' downfall. So close v:as the game that tHe s«ix outfielders on the two aggregu- tions handled but three fly balls be- tween them. The infielders were kept busy all afternoon hagging all sorts of ground ball and the fans were treated to a sensational, if not big league, brand of ball. As soon as a man reached the initial bag the infielders would arise to their great- est heights and pull the pitchers out. What was probably a new record for baseball in this city was created by “Johnny" Klatka, Falcon star first baseman. Klatka had a total of 21 putouts for his afternoon’s work and one assist. Scriminger was also kept busy at the initial sack and had 16 putouts. Klatka made a num- ber of good stops on line drives. In the fouth Inning the Kensing- ton team pushed two men around to second and third base with two outs. | Seriminger caught hold of one of Nichols' slants and drove a terrific grounder down the first base line. Klatka dashed over in back of the bag and made & beautiful stop, pre venting two runs from scoring. Mc- Cormack raced in to get McCleary's bid for a hit in the sixth and, after misjudging the ball, made a leap into the air and smearcd the pill one hand. “Midge" Darrow and Jasper raced all over the infield to snag ground- ers for the winners and they put up a wonderful brand of basehall “Scoop” Reilley and Patrus were the bright lights of the FFalcons’ defense in fthe infield and accepted 14 chances between them without the least sign of an error. Most of Reilley’s balls were hard hit liners The real plaudits of the fans, however, must be extended to the city's veteran but best catcher. “Mickey" Noonan. Noonan's great | catching inspired the entire Falcon team. He constantly dug bad pitches ont of the dirt and prevented Ken- sington runners from scoring. Mickey walked to the plate four times and crashed out two clean blows off the Eastern league star His rapid throws to first kept the base runners from stealing second. The teams battled through seven scoreless innings before the “break of the game.” Mikan opened the in- ning with a liner that hit second base and bounded into center field for a hit. Nichols caught him sleep- ing on the next play and lined the ball to Klatka. Mikan dug for sec- ond and Klatka made a perfect throw to McCleary who tagged the runner out but he dropped the ball and the runner was safe. Snyder was an easy ouf at third but McCormick lined a single into right. scoring Mikan with the winning and only run of the game. Soule attempted to throw Mikan out at the plate but his throw was wild McCormick led the winners in hit- ting. sending out two safe blows. Soule of the Falcons had a field day at the expense of Woodman and | connected for three safe bingles that were hit right on the nose. Mikan walked to open the game. Snyder flied out to McCleary. Mc- Cormick drove a liner to Reilley, who started a fast | 1alcons had a great chance to put the game on ice in their half of the inning. After Pairug and McCleary had Dbeen retired, Soule drove a hit into !vight field. Woodman made a wild pitch and Soule raced to second. Klatka was hit on the arm by a pitched ball. Huband let one of Woodman's pitches get by him and both runners advanced a base. Lewis fanned, however, taking the third strike. | Neither team :cond canto. Jasper rcached first base in the first half of the third when he was hit by a pitched ball The neat three batters were easy outs and Jasper was left stranded. Woodman retircd the Falcons in order in the last half of the third. Kensington made a big threat in {the fourth inning but failed to come: through. Snyder and McCormick opened the inning with solid sit Huband laid down a perfect sucri- fice and advanced the runners & base. Huber grounded out to Riley at third. Scriminger hit a hard liner down the first base line but Klatka came through with his sensational catch to prevent a score.

WIN Local Aggregation Pins 7 to 0 Defeat On Stonewalls of Holyoke — Blocked Kick In Third Quarter Paves Way for Touchdown — Radzewich - Kicks . 'Extra Point — Home Team Displays Plenty of Power In Line—Good-Sized Crowd Watches Combination In Action. A crowd of. several hundred fans witnessed the newly-organised Nut- eg football team open.the 1928 vro grid season at Memorial Field yesterday afternoon by copping a 7 to 0 win over the powerful Stone- wall team oi Holyoke. The game, played under ideal baseball skies, brought out sone stellar playing for so early in the season. The forward walls of both tcams threw up powerful defenses so that both teams were forced to kick throughout the game. - In the latter respect, the locals far outshone the visitors and they gained much yard- age in this department of the game. It was a blocked kick near the visitors' 30 yard line early In the third quarter that paved the way for the lone score of the game, Holyoke drew a 15 yard penalty on the first play when the locals tried the air and a vialting back was de- tected interfering with the man re- ceiving the ball. " The penalty car- ried the oval to the 6 yard stripe and “Pigeon” Conley crashed through the center of the line for the only touchdown' of the game. Radziewich - drop Kicked a .neat field goal to tally the extra point. From then on both teams battled fruitlessly without either gaining any great advantage. The locals in their debut showed powerful line play. From end to end the forward wall was nearly im- pregnable and the many thrusts of the Bay 8tate backs were eusily stopped. The visitors made omly only three first downs during the game. Tha first as the result of & penalty toward the close of the third quarter. - In the last quarter, some pretty off ta runs by Mo Donald. the visitor's field general, accounted for the other two. The New Britain goal line was never in danger.. Throyghout the game the local line kept piling up the Btonewalls ‘so that the latter were continually forced to kick. The entire New Britain team put up a great game yesterday. The team played heady ball throughout and but for a few rough spots in the play of the backfield, looked like a classy ecleven. However, these will be ironed out during the coming week and the locals will be able to cope with the best in the state. Buckley, who made his bow to lo- cal fandom yesterday, played a spec- tacular game and the former Ford- ham star will do great things in slate pro circles before the geason is over. He showed a world of speed. “Pigeon” Conley made many size- able gains on off tackle runs. He scored the only touchdown of the game, “Zip" Zehrer who held down the other halfback post put up a won- derful game until an old leg injury forced him out late in the third quarter, Claire, former high school captain, went inte the local lineup at quarterback and Buckley shifted into Zehrer's place. ‘The ex-high school player ran the team in nice shape and «will make a dependable relief man. “Unk” Conley put up his usual stecady game and he was relieved by Carl Brink, former A gie star, at the beginning of the last quarter. He saw plenty of action while he was in the game and #meared many cf the plays directed at his end. “Red” O'Neil was a stone wall at tackle being shifted there early in the game when ConkMn was injured and Joe Rogers was sent into the GWE T To '™ J'SIAH- - WHALE RIGHT INT&R ‘im - THE OLD CURMUDG BON DAD GASHIT!
