NEW BRITAIN HIGH SCHOOL OPENS UP FOOTBALL SEASON NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1928, AGAINST VERMONT TEAM TOMORROW —FALCONS AND KENSING- TON READY FOR SECOND GAME OF SERIES—NUTMEG A. C. IN SHAPE FOR BRIDGEPORT GAME—MAJOR LEAGUE BOX SCORES ART NEHF DEALS McGRAW STAGGERING HEART BLOW Lefthander, Once Pride of New York Giants, Wins Over Former Mates In Crucial Game — Gotham Nine Comes Back to Win Second Game — Catds Easily Triumph Over Braves — Reds Trounce Phillies— Yanks Take Both Ends of Twin Bill From Detroit Tigers. Ly tie {ated Press 3 John' McGraw's *“chickens” have come home to roost with a ven- geance this season. 1i McGraw eventually is nosed out of the 1928 National league pennant, and that seems likely, he can blame a good part of it on players who once wore New York Giant livery. Art Neht, once the left-handed pride of McGraw's heart, dealt his! one-time boss u staggering blow yesterday when he twirled the Chi- cago Cubs a 3 to 2 triumph over| the Giants in the opening clash of & double-header. The Giants, fight- ing desperately to keep in the run- ning, came back with a 2 to 0 win in the nightcap but lost ground in |l the pennant chase notwithstanding. An easy victory over the Boston Braves carried the St. Louis Cardi- nale to 8 full game lead over the glants where a halt game had been their advantage before. Only three games ramain ou the schedule and that one-game lead may well stand until the two contenders clash in thelr final battle of the year at the Polo Grounds on Sunday. Neht, like Burlelgh Grimes of Pittsburgh, another Giant alumnus, delights in taming his former team- mates and he did just that thing |y, to perfection, holding them to six R hits while the Cubs were touching Karl Hubbell for nine. Given a 3 10'3 lead as carly as the fifth, Ar- thap saw to it that this margin suf- ficed. He just escaped disaster in the sixth when Andy Reese was trapped off third base and finally run down. The Giants vehemently claimed Gabby Hartnett had been | sullty of wilful interference with | the base runner and carried their protest to John Heydler for deci- sion, In the second game the Giants got only three hits of Charlie Root and Percy Jones but one of them was Frank Hogan's home run in the second and another was a single in the fourth by Lindstrom, who eventually scored on Hogan's sacri- fice fly. Joe Genewich gave the Cubs only five hits and was never in danger. Jess Raines pitched the Cards to an easy 8 to 3 triumph over the Draves. The game was decided in the first inning when the Red Birds assaulted Brandt and Cooney for six .runs. It was Haines' 20th vic- tory of the season, the last nine coming in & row. Mil Wally Pipp hit two home runs as the Cincinnat! Reds trounced the | Phillies, 6 to 3, and Del Bissonette did the same thing as the Brooklyn Robins took the Pirates over the traces in two games, 7 to 2, In 10 innings, and 8 to 1. - The New York Yankees just about clinched their third succeasive American league pennant when they beat Detroit in both ends of a dou- Dleheader, 4 to 3 and 8 to 5. Dark. | neas had set in at the end of th: seventh inning, a lucky break for ‘the Yanks, for their pitchers were resling and staggering. Waite Hoyt | shaded Owen Carroll in the opencr. Babe Ruth hit his 51st homer in the first inning of the first game and his 52d in the initial round of the nightcap. One more Yankee vic- tory or another defeat for Conni Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics will ‘clinch the pennant for Miller Hug- gins The A's retained their mathe- matical chances by turning back | the Chicago White Sox, 5 to 5. Lefty Grove allowed six scattered hits and fanned nine men, and miraculous to | relate, hit a homer in the third in-/ ning. He fanned the side on nine pitched bally in the seventh. It was Grove's 24th victory of the r. The Cleveland Indians overcan 4 seven run lead to beat the Boston Red Sox, 14 to 19, in the first game | of @ double-header but dropped the second, 7 to 4, when Big Ed Mor kept them in check. The Washington Senators shaded the St. Louis Browns, 6 to 5, in the first game of the wind-up se St. Louis. Heinic Manush hit a homer with two on in the ninth | when St. Louis scored all its runs.

This year| there are 54 boys in the school, | and the entire enrollment is exactly | 100. The team ls being coached by | a new mentor this year, Jack Flynn, | who graduated from Vermont Uni.| versity last June after playing s| regular for four years on the varsity | team. He had the following regulars with which to build up a team: the Muzzy brothers, Lewis, Connor, Lan- don, Thomas, Fah, and the substi- tute, Steele. . Coach Caasidy will have five reg- ulars, four substitutes, and two new men in his lineup which is expected to start Saturday. The regulars are Captain Landino, Alex Zaleski, Ed. die Sowka, Frank Casale and Bill Kuhs. Of the substitutes probably Mtke Grip is the most prominent. In fact he played in almost enough games to be considered a regular. The others are “Gunny” Nelson, Joe 8zymanski and ‘Penoke” Ludino- witz. The two new men are Joe Potts and Joe Bogdanski, first year players. Since the beginning of the season there has been considerable doubt about the two guard positions. & tackle berth and an end position. Szymanski’'s play has been very afternoon at its Vermont | the regular team. Potts has been getting the call over a multitude of other candidates for the guard po- sition but Bill Kuhs has been play- ing tackle until lately. The shift will bring him back to the position he held last year. “Penoke” Ludinowitz is improving and the coach expects to use him at tackle. Consistent play by “Bobby” Bog- danski at end has won him the po- sition over his old rivals. If he comes through, then Coach Cassidy will be relieved of the task of using one of his extra backfield men, Hen- (will return —————— CRETARY IS No- -82.2-2°2-02-» - 2 TH!RE' S SomsTHING YoU CAN WHISPER ABoOUT ry Krasgsewski and Herby Carlsen, at the end position.
