' Speaking. jof Sports - Not fn many years have the base- ball fansg of this city witnessed a baseball classic such as was staged yesterday afternoon between the Fal- cona and -the Kensington baseball tepms in the first game of .the city champlonship series at St. Mary's field. Very little hitting but great base. ball all through the contest, made the spectacle one of the most amaxz- ing and thrilling seen in this city in a’long, long time. What is thought to be a record for this city was created in the game when Johnny Kiatka, Falcon first baseman, scored 21 out out of the 27 putouts. A ball dropped by McCleary, which if caught, woyld have resulted in an easy out, paved the way for the Kensington victory. “Coke" Woodman, Hartford East. ern league, was forced to bear down all the way while Nichols,. Falcon star, was just as good againat the Kensington team. . Things look very good for football this season. With the interest of the fans showing up greatly in the first game of the year, if things go as they should, there will be plenty of enjoyment during the season. Beveral hundred-fans watched the first game played yesterday at Wil low Brook park. New Britain scored a victory in its first game and thegs will be many more fans out to see the second game to be played next Sunday. Phil Page of Springfleld scored his second victory in the major leagues yesterday. He played basket- ball with the Tabs team last season. He was in the Eaatern league and he has now become a member of the Detroit Tigers' ataff. Yesterday's game was his second start in the big leagues und his vic- tory in both games, puts him in line for & regular job in the big show next season, It begins to look like the St. Louls Cardinals and the New York Yankees in the mnext world series, However, this is not a definite state- ment because anything can happen from now on, S The International league wound up yesterday with Rochester one percentage point ahepd of the scc- ond place team. This was the wsreatest race in the history of the league. It was overshadowed by the great battles in both the “American and National leagues. AMERICA AGAIN LOSES AT TENNIS Vinceat Ricbards Beaten by Karel Kozeluh Yesterday New York, Sept. 24 (#)-Once more Europe has taken away the palm from America on the tennis courts. In three straight matches, Karel Koxeluh of Chechoslovakia, proies- sional champion of Europe, defeated Vincent Richards, American cham- pion, in their series for the world’s title, winning the final match yestei- Qday by scores of 6-4, G-4, 4-6, 6-3. Equalling the American’s speed apparently without effort and giving a remarkable exhibition of court covering, the Czech star took the fi- nal match almost as he pleases Kozeluh played a back court game, going to the net only twice in four sets, scoring each time, On the base- line he handled everything Richards could send over. The few times he was forced: to - the defensive by and L. 8 Breadner and Sergeant Major M. Graham are the compan- fons of Godfrey. Baseball Standing AMERICAN LEAGUE New York 5, Cleveland 0.

Representing the Western Lawn Tennis assoclation, they won the title yesterday by whipping the young Australian team of Jack Crawford and Harry Hopman, 1-6, 6-4, 12-10, in one of the hard fought doubles matches of the year, Only Hennessey's brilliancy saved the title from passing westward across the Pacific. He played one of his best games, backing up Lott at cruefal moments and crashing Richards’ brilllant work at the net, Kozeluh had the gallery of 3,000 thouting with excitement as he made one secmingly impossible return aft- er another. Only the American’s fine volleying saved him from a worse defeat. In the rear court ducls Kozcluh kept him on the run every moment with accurately placed drives into the corners, and many of the American’s sallles to the net were brought to sudden ends by sizzling shots that he could not reach. In the third set, the cnly one Richal won, the Czech slowed down considerably and did not try for many of the shots that were. hard to reach. The start of the match was de- luyed when the players were served with summonses for violation of the bbath law, which prohibits profes- sional matches or games on Sunday. 1Baseball is exempted from the law provided the games do not start be- fore two o'clock. By his decisive defeat of Richards, XKozeluh has been made a decided favorite to win the American profes- sional champlonship, play in which Legins tomorrow at Forest Hills, The nrew world's title holder and the American champion have been plac- ed at the top of the seeding in a fleld of 30, which includes nearly every well known professional in this country as well as several Euro- peane. Besides Kozeluh, Europe will be represented by Valerian Yavorsky and Viadimir Terentieff of Rupsia, both coaches at American clubs now, and Otto Gloeckler of Germany, The other six players on the seeded list are Howard Kinsey and Harvey Snodgrass, both of whom were stars as amateurs in California, Paul H ton, Charles M. Wood, James Ken- ney and George Agutter. Canadian Aviators Are Found Uninjured Edmonton, Alta., Sept. 24 (P— Major Earl Godfrcz and three com- panions, all of the Royal Canadian air force, missing since last Sunday in an attempted flight from Peace river to Fort Smith, have been found at Carjagou. Their sea plane was forced down there and wre k- ed. With the exception of Major Godfrey, who has a bruised leg, tha men were uninjured. Wing Commanders J. L. Gordon over point after point with his bril- liant strokes. Hennesscy won his singles match against Hopman, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, but Crawford upset Lott, who was in a bad slump under the strain of their competition of the last few days. Then with the doubles deciding the title, Hennessey swarmed over the court like a blanket and stopped the Austrulians after a dramatic fight.* g Hennessey and Lott succeed Wil ltam Tilden, 11, and Wallace John- son as national intersectional cham- pions.
