Cerbin and Russell & Erwin teams. The four umpires who worked in the Industrial league during the aca- son will work in this game. They are Mike Lynch, Herbie Sautter, Billie Fitzpatrick and Larry Man- gan. Blanchard wus stricken several weeks ago and his condition at the present time, though not grave, will prevent him from returning to work for at least « month more. He has been one of the outstanding bascball players in the city for many years and it was, in a great part, his work that contributed to whatever suécess the R. & E. team had in the Indus- trial league, He Is considered to be one of the most popular of the Industrial lea- gue pluyers and his misfortune has caused his friends and acquaintances " to rally In & small way to help him. Larry Mangan, manager of the . & E. team, discovering his plight, has arranged the game and all of its de- tails und he and the others interest- ed:feel certuin that the public will support the project with enthusi- asm, A large gallery of golfing fans was treated to an exceptional sight yesterday at Shuttle’ Mcadow when the two Manning brothers, Dave and Clarence, battled through 20 holes of the most trying kind of golf in the semi-final mateh for the club championshin..

There was 4 possibility South. worth might switch to Art Decatur before game time but the probabil ity was that Jrvin would start. | Although licked 3 to 2 in 11 fn-| nings in yesterday's frigid thriller, | Rochester appeared to the experts | to be the faster team but lacked the vital punch that puts runs across the pan. The Red Wings had 15 men stfanded on base ugainst cight for! Indians and in seven innings two or | more Rochester runners were left ! high and dry . Manager Southworth, who carried | loff the batting honors himself | | with three safeties out of six times lut bat, was giving due thought to the Inability of his team to drive home the needed tallies, but there | was little likelihood of a shukeup | today. The unseasonably cold weather apparently was the big feature.

The hardest par four him and he could not hope to win it short of a par. And that NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER ‘27, 1928. Clarence was just short of the green. They_both chipped up well but both ook two putts to halve in 5 A 288 yard par five hole now faced them. Hoth hooked and were far short of their atandard drives. The pace -was beginning to tell. Dave was in the fairway by a scant margin. He played and just missed running into a trap to the right of the green. Clarence went en the green but his ball rolled far past the pin/ It was a question - who was away. No one appealed to in the g lery would venture a decision. 8o Earl Higbee, as a member of the teurnament committee, measur- ed the distance between the two balls with the flag staff and judged that Clarence had te shoet first. He ran his putt down te the left of the hole three feet away. Dave came’up te within four feet and then his putter failed him. Clarence tapped in a perfect putt. Manning shook hands with Manning while the gal- lery cheered twe of the gamest play- ors who ever have met on the Shut tle Meadow courae. A third brother followed tthe plaers and divided his allegiance between the two. The last three matches have dis- ved excellent competition and very good golf. Hart and Barnes were tied with 79s and Ted won the extra hole in par four. Hart and Sweeney scored 76-77 with Ted the winner on the 17th hole. And yes- terday the Mannings each played 18 holes in Tis. Sunday the finals will be played offff. There wijl be two rounds, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. It promises to be a close match well played. Manning and Hart are evenly matched as both are rated as six handicap men. Ted has had medal scores of 75. 79 and 76 in the championship rounds and Clarence played his matches close to that mark, There is little to chose from in their play. Both are good putters and approachers. Manning plays long irons and Hart excels with the brasste. Either would wear the crown of champion with mod- esty and credit to the club. | Basega'lvl_fianding AMERICAN LEAGUE Vesterday's Results No games acheduled. The Standing w. New York Philadelphia ..
