Speaking of Sports Besides the New Britain-Hartford High school baseball team acheduled tonight at Willow Brook ‘park, there a, another diamond attraction that many, will be out to see. While the high school teams are battling for supremacy at the south end of the city, the Qascos will be crossing bats with Landers, Frary & Clark at the Stanley Quarter park in the north end of the town. The Stanley Works team will pre- ment & number of new faces when the Industrial league gets under way this meason. Besides “Chucky” Wojack, the team has secured a new first baseman in the person of Cramer, & newcomer, who will be with Ken- sington this scason. " Bryce Long. sccretary of the Tn- dustrial Qouncil of the Y. M. C. A., has summoned a meeting of the managers of teams in the Indus- trial Baseball league for tomorrow night at 5 o'clock at the Y. M..C. A. At that time a definite date for the opening games will be get and a d_t:h_ed’ule will be adopted. It was originally planned to open the league next Tuesday night but due to the fact that some of the teams entered have submitted a plea that they will not have uniforms in time, the league opening may be postponed a week putting the open- ing date at May 28. At any rate, the league will open either on May 21 or May 28. The league will be composed of weven teams this year. Russell & Frwin will not be eritered and the Corbin S8crew men figured that there wasn't enough baseball talent or players good enough to enter the league and play in the same class with the other teams. Arrangements have been made to have the New Britain high school and Kensington baseball teams meet Pext Saturday afternoon at the Percival avenue grounds in Kensing- ton. The game will be a hattle and tot a practice sesslon, according to Jimmy Murphy, publicity agent for the club, Details on this venture will be an- nounced at a later date but it is known that strong feeling of rivalry has sprung up betwken the two clubs, . - Talk about versatility! Yesterday in the basebail game between the local Trade school team and Farm- ington high, the valley team pulled & funny one that is reminiscent of the old two-o-cat days, It seems that at the start Watson was pitching and Odlum was eatch- gn.. ‘Watson's slants appeared to be Just to the liking of the local bat- ters and he stood a hammering for four inninga. In the fourth frame, a eonference / between the battery mates was called and Odlum divest- €8 himaelt of his eatcher's para- phérnalia and Watson = put it on. Then Odlum toed the slab and Wat- son went behind the bat. The pitcher and catcher just exchanged places, (.OLF OA COPYRIGHT 1920 BV NEA SERVICE WG BY VERNE WICKHAM Every time this goat-getter comes to a ball on the fairway, he picks it up and examines it. He is a ball- plucker. The sun is shining bright and his eyes are in good condition: four- somes arc to the right of him and foursomes to the left of him; his ball is near the green. Yet he stops, picks up your ball. and, after sat- istying himself that it isn't his, drops it again. There is very little excuse to ever pick up a ball on the fairway. If two”balls of the same make fall close together on the fairway you can usuaally tell yours by its position if you have watched its flight off the ‘tee. Another simple way is ta thumb mark your ball as you start: off- the first tee. Run your thumb nail through the marks and usually one of the markings is on top and you can see, without pit¢ it,- whether it is your or not. Now, with the fancy colored spots on practieally any make ball, it is very simple to have your foursome use balls marked differently. The trouble in’ lifting a ball on the fairway and examining it is that 1f the ball happens to belong to some other played you make him think you are about to run south with it. No matter how.careful you are when you drop-it—it rolls.into a bad lie as far as the golfer is concerned. He's sure to top or dub his next shot.

The lead in both leagues has shift- ed back and forth and today finds the New York Yankees and Phila. delphia Athletics tied for first plac in the American League and the C| cago Cubs half a game ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League. Since the two races got well under way, three clubs have been out in front in each league. The Braves Cardi and Cubs have set the pace in the National League. while the Yankees, Athletics and Browns have shared the American League lead. Two dangerous-looking ball clubs which got off poorly but now seem to have struck their stride are the Pirates and Tigers, occupants of fourth place in the two leagues. Those two tcams are playing the best ball in their respective leagues right now and will bear watching. The most disappointing major league team has been the New York Giants. On occasions, the Giants have looked like world-beaters only to turn around the next d and play like minor-leaguers. Certain changes are cxpected in the Giants unless they start to win consistently before the month of May is over. ‘Washington is another club which has failed to live up to its early promise. Bad breaks, the worst of which was the fliness of Walter Johnson, however, have handicapped the Senators. The National T.eague {eams, the | Braves and Phillies, have shown un- expectcdly good form. Although the Braves got off faster than the Phil- lics, Burt Shotton's team Is coming in fast and is only a game out of third place. The Chicago White Sox are in a slump after a good start and have won only two games out of the last nine played. The Reds also have played in-and-out ball in the Nation- al League. The least said about the Brooklyn Robins ard the Boston Red Sox, the better. Bvrooklyn undoubtedly . the poorest excuse in years 1of & major league club. The Phillies were never any worse than the Robins ax they are playing these days. They have lost their last seven gamcs. After winning eight straight, the Yankees are in the throes of a slump and have dropped three in a row. 2 |The Yanks are having trouble with their pitching and Leo Durocher iis heginning to wobble slightly at shortstop. Criticism of the Cubs' lack of re- serve strength appears to have been without foundation since Joe Mc- ‘arthy has three utility players in his lineup temporarily because of injuries. Norman McMillan is play- ing third base in place of Clyde Beck and Johnny Moore, recruit, and Cliff Heathcote are filling the out- field posts of Hack Wilson and Kiki Cuyler. PYLEREJOINS HIS \ MARATHON TROUPE Assures Everyone Tha{ Race ¥ill 6o on fo a Finigh - Breckenridge, Tex., May 14 (UP)—Fears were brushed aside to- day for the foot-sore runners who are plodding across the United States in the “Bumion Derby." C. C. Pyle. promoter, rejoined the troupe, lift- ing & load from many weary hearts. Pyle suffered hroken arm and bruises in a metor car accident two days ago, and there was some appre- hension among the runners. dancers and other attendants that his acci- dent ‘might cause their dreams of gold to pass. But Pyle called them around him on his bed last night and apoke weords of encouragement. With newspapermen at bLis side and his runners and follies people his audience at the foot of the bed, Pyle painfully braced himself, and declared: “I've had many of you express re- grets here tonight for my condition, but after all it's onl a break. This time it's 2 break in a different way— my arm—but what's the use of com- plaining. I'm in this shape and that's all. “The race goes on, the show goes on—the show sometimes to au- diences 30 small they are heart- breaking to you. But I've seen you through to Texas from New York, 2,000 miles, and we'll be together fn l.os Angeles at the finish to share what goes to the victor—the spoils.” « A committee of Breckenridge bus. iness men, headed by Jake Sandefer, son of the president’ of Simmons university, called on Pyle last night. They declared they are glad to pay the $1,800 guarantee made to him, and assured the promoter they troupe through and offered their as- sistance to him in a personal way while he is narsing his broken arm. Pyle told the United Press he had suffered no broken ribs—only the right arm is cracked. Physicians said |the break is in the worst place pos- |sible, and that the arm ‘must ‘be re- se jwouldvlo to any extent to see his |" “There is danger that Pyle may {1ose the use of his arm entirely. if it {ix not reset with howrs.” Dr. R. | B.
