By the As ated Press. Connie Mack, that baseball vener- able, has had many a bitter disap- pointment, but none to compare with what 1928 seems to have in store for him. To fail at the very edge of splendid triumph the tall tactician more grief than he knew when his Philadelphia Ath- letics were chronic tail-enders. And fail it seems the 1428 Ath- letics must although mathematically they still are in the running. Connic built this year with the utwost dili- gence, carefully blending veteran ex- perience with fiery youth so that the qualities of both were used to the | best advantage. That product of his would cause genius battered its way to the top |} of the league only to slip back after | CHICAGO AB R v 0 1 1 v 1 1 Mostil, L Rexn Met Kamu, ts: Goslin, K nin.

Presented ,with golden chance to snap the Yanks' two gum lead in two, the A's, instead, were bowled over by the St. Louis Browns, 6 to 2, leaving the relative stunding of the two clubs unchanged. It wis the second time in three days that the A's passed up an opportunity to | gain. With only five gumes on Phil- | adelphia’s schedule and six for th Yankees, Connie's chances of win- | ning his first pennant since 1414 seemed slim indeed.

He started against Cleve- land but was pounded for afl their runs before he could be removed in the middle of a sixth inning rally Lefty Heimach finished. Alvin Crowder hung up his victory of the year at the A’ pense, giving them only four hits, three of which come in the ninth and scored the A's two runs. Juck | Quinn was the victim of bunched hits | in the sixth and seventh innings and ay for Ossic Orwoll in the ame. The Washington Senitors took un- digputed possession of fourth place by turning back the Chicago Whit Sox, 8 to 4. The Boston Red Sox found Sim Gibson for only five hits and Detroit coasted to an 8 to 0 vie- | tory. Jack Rothrock, Red Sox out- fielder, started in left field, then played shortstop and ended by pitch- | ing tle final inning, giving the Ti rs | no hits. Meanwhile the St. Touis Cardin:ls protected their one game lead in the National league by trouncing Brook- Iyn, 9 to 2, while the New York Glants home-runned their way to a 7 to 4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. 0ld Pete Alexander kept Brooklyn vatsmen subdued all day while the | Cards were ripping three Dodger pitchers for 14 hits including Jim Bottomley's 31st homer of the year. | That drive, with none on in the fifth. | gave Bottomley the league lead, his | nearest rival being Hack Wilson, of 20th ex- the Chicago Cubs who has hit 30. \_ All of the Giants runs were scored | on homers, Lefty O'Doul getting 'Ao‘ with one each for Mel Ott and Tra- vis Jackson, Jackson's « with two on in the cighth and broke u 1-4 tie that cxisted at that moment.

Five players who qualified {lust ycar had dropped by the way | side, as did Miss Margaret Curtis, of Manchester, Mass., three times a champion, Mi en Orcutt, of Engle- wood, N.

Miss Beatrice Gottlich of N York provided herself with a strange set of clubs for Ler round with the long-hitting Glenna Collett, of Prov- idence, a former champion and a tavorite again. Miss Gottlich decid- «d that her own clubs were too light he borrowed set slightly vier from Mrs. S 8. Laird, of New York Canada’s Lid for the title was up- held by Miss Helen Paget, of Ot- tawa, and Miss Dora Virtue of Mon- treal, The former drew for her first match a formidable opponent in M Miriam Burns Tyson of Kansas City, the champion. Miss Virtue's oppon- | ent was Mrs. L. C. Nelson, of Day- ton, Ohio. Miss Marion Turple, youthful | daughter of a New Orleans prof sional was matched against a for mer champion, Mrs. George H. Stet son of Philadelphia. Great interest was attached to the match between Miss Helen Hicks, a 17-year old New Yorker, and Miss Kathleen Wright, of 1 ena, Cal.

The Yankees have the heaviest hitting array of the lot, and the most experienced. The Giants have the fastest and youngest set of fnner workers, & brilliant quartet that av- erages only 25 years and hits for .308. The Athletics are another gea- soned group, with a young firebrand in Jimmy Foxx. The Cardinals rely chiefly on the twin stars of the right side, Bottomley and Frisch. On paper, the Yankees, averaging .320 at bat, present the most for- midable array, but their defense has been weakened by the removal of Joe Dugan gnd the long absence of Tony Lazzeri, now back at his pBst but not up to his 1927 form. The substitution of Gene: Robertson for Dugan ut third adds more punch to |the quartet, all the other members |of which are well over the .300 mark, but Jumping Joe's skill in the | field 48 misncd. Much of the late season spurt of |the Athletes was due to the infield Ishift that first put the hard-hitting Foxx on third base, then moved him to first, with the veteran Jimmy Dykes at the far corner. Bishop and Boley form a great combination around second base while Max has taken a new lease of life at bat. There {sn't a snappier combina- tion to watch in either league than the infield quartet of the Giants, no matter whether Andy Reese or Andy Cohen is at second base .Terry, Al- ways a hard sticker, has developed into one of the game's best first basemen, while Jackson and Lind- on the left side. There is dash and [fir in this quartet with { probably the ranking third-sacker of tlie senior circuit now, a smoother | workman than even the famous Pie Traynor, Pirate captain. The Cardinal infield, weakest hitting of the four now in the limelight, has not been together long enough to function as smoothly as any of the others. It has the most pectacular fielding second-sacker in | Frisch, whose batting has fallen off, and the league's leading cleanup slugger in first baseman Jim Bot- tomley. But the old warhorse, Rab- bit Maranville, can’t scoop 'em up at short the way Tommy Thevenow did in 1926 before a broken leg stop- ped his progress. Andy High has re- placed Lester Bell at third and is |doing nicely at it, but he doesn't compare with Lindstrom in any de- partment of the game. LOCAL TEAM WINS Down Middletown Pair in First Billiard Match, New Britain defeated Middletown at pocket billiards last night at Rogers rooms in the first match of a home and horiie series between the two. Kasprow defeated Grip- po 100 to 69 while Grace nosed out Hallaby after the score‘was even at 65 points. Thursday night, the New Britain team will go to Middletown where Grave will meet Grippo and Kasprow will play Hallaby. Wednesday night a threc-cushion tournament will be run off at Rog- ers with eight players entered.

ALLBRIDGEPORT - HERE ON SUNDAY Park Gity Team o Tackle Nut- megs at Willow Brook Park The Nutmeg A. C. football team will play its second game of the s«cason Sunday afternoon at Willow | Brook park when the All-Bridgeport team comes here in the first inva- slon of the present season. The Nutmegs last Sunday, in the initial |start of the uyear, defeated the | strong Stonewalls of Holyoke by a 7 to 0 score. The opposition to be offered the locals this coming Sunday will be entirely different from that given the team last Sunday. Bridgeport has a team that is stronger and taster than last year and trouble looms on the horizon for the New Britain eleven. Despite the fact that the initial game of the year showed the locals to be not ent the best of form, the team showed | plenty of strength in making first | downs through the Holyoke line. | The deciding punch happened to be | missing. This weakness has been plugged up this week with the ad- dition of a new backfield man from Torrington. He is reported to be a great passer and a fast man. Ralph Buckley, Meriden star, will probably be used as a halfback for the rest of the season. He was placed in quarterback for a time 1 Sunday, Dbut his best efforts were kept under cover. Radzewich will probably call the signals rext Sunday and act as safety man. This shift is thought to be a move to give the home club better offense and de- fense, The contest Sunday afternoon will start promptly at 2:15 o'clock. Prac- | tically the same lineup as started last Sunday will be used agajn this weeli. LEAD IN PRO TOURNEY Jack Curley and Bert Lagerblade Open Up Gap of Five Strokes in First Day's Play. Providence, Sept. 25 (UP—Jack Curley of Stone Brae and Bert La- gerblade of Bristol, Conn., opened up a gap of five strokes over thelr nearest competitors yesterday as {the cream of New England’'s profes- |sional golfers struggled against an |elusive par at the Rhode Island Country club.
