“Billy” Darrow, regular third baseman on the Connecticut Agkic nine, will return to thq lineup to- day after being absent because of a gplit thumb. He will accompany the team on its northern trip. A rare 'thing occurred in major league. baseball yesterday. All of the western. teams in both the American and National circuits de- feated their e opponents, making it a greal According to old-timers this is a very rare occurrence. In the Na- tional league the western teams are on the road and in tne American league, they are at home, The Burritts will open their sea- son this Sunday when they travel to Thompsonville to meet the Po- lish-American nine, last year's win- ners of the Farmington Valley league, According to.the management of the Falcons, negotiations are under way to bring the famous House of David baseball team to this city. The bearded wonders are known throughout the country for their baseball akility. Besides playing good ball, the be- whiskered players entertain the fans with their funny antics. They have never appeared in this city. “Huggy" Carlson, former star high school twirler and at present a member of the Pirate staff, wiil probably take the mound for Ken- sington against the high achool 8at- urday, Through the adoption of the 60- day rule in the Industrial league, Stanley Works will lose *‘Chucky” Wojack, Corbins will lose Bergeron and the Machinists will be without the services of “8i" Budnick. The Btanley Works team is great- ly opposed to the ruling and it is reported that at least seven regulars of last yeal championship teum including *Jack” Scott, the pitcher, will refuse to play this season if Wojack is banned. “Chucky” is a very popular man with his fellow employes at the Stanley Works, The New Britain high achool baseball team will get back into ac- tion tomorrow when it clashes with the strong Bulkeley high school of Hartford at the Eastern league sta- dium, The Hartford schoolboy nine !s one of the best aggregations in the state and has won five out of six Kames to date. It has trounced all of its opponents by one-sided scores, defeating Weaver hign by scores of 19 to 7 and 19 to 6. Cronin will probably get the call for mound duty against the locals. Coach Cassidy has not announced his pitching choice but Partyka seems to be the likely one. “Butsy” Hall, for many years backstop on the Pirate baseball team, is playing a good game be- hind the plate for the Pratt In- stitute team. Hall is hitting the ball at a c.nsistent rate. = Twilight baseball at Hartford ‘s finding favor with the Hartford fans but not with opposing teams. Last week the Bridgeport management filed a protest with the league presi- dent against it and yesterday King Bader, pilot of the Providence nine stated that he would protest the sec- ond game of the Hartford-Provi- dence doubleheader because the game startec too late, Bader helieves that twilight bas-- ball should not be started until aft- er May 30. OLFE QA COPYRIGHT 1030 BV MEA SBIVICE Bic, BY VERNE WICKHAM ‘There is one queer idea firmly es- tablished in many golfers’ minds— they do not like to putt when their partner's ball is still in the cup. Just where the idea came from, no one seems to know. Jt has very little reason for existing and yet it Is a recognized mental hazard to Lave a ball or two in the bottom of the cup when you're putting Afier you hold out a putt, walk up and pick out your ball befdre your partner putts. He will appre- ciate it. On one or two rare occasions a ball has been known to drop into the cup, hit a ball already at the bottom of the cup, and then bounce out. It has been known to happen once— and possibly twice—but you could puit balls into a cup lined with balls at the bottom. by the thou- sands, and not one of them would AMERICAN LEAGUE — Games Yesterday Cleveland 7, New York 1.

Yesterday's Hero—Harry He mann, Detroit outfielder, who scoi ed from first base on Alexande double in the ninth with the run which enabled the Tigers to beat the Philadelphia Athletics, 6 to'5. Heil- mann was knocked unconscious when Gordon Cochrane, Athletics catcher, tagged him on the head, but the latter dropped the ball. Two sensational catches by Earl Averill featured Ceveland's 7 to 1 victory over the New York Yankees. Lou Gehrig's eighth home run of the season was the only run made oft Joe Shaute. It was the Yank's fourth straight loss. Scoring three runs and driving in two more Wiltie Kamm starred in the Chicago White Sox 8 to ¢ win over the Boston Red Sox. Kamm hit two doubles and a single. Teddy Lyons was the winning pitcher. Manush's double, Schulte's triple and Kress' single drove in two runs in the eighth inning and the 8t. Louis .Brows beat the Washington 8enators, § to 3.

You'll find all professionals doing it and in tournament play they never putt into & cup when there is a ball in it—s0 get in the habit of picking out the ball after you hole out. Be careful, of course, not to step on the line of putt. And another thing, when you leave your ball in the cup you are depriving your partner of the sweet- est sound to a golfer's ear—the “clank” of the ball in the bottom of the cup.

This will be the third meeting be- CLO tween these boys; Ebbets was the winner on a foul in the first bout while O'Brien took the decision on the fans thought Ebbets the victor and shouted their disapproval of the decision. Both these battles were staged at Holyoke and were among the best scraps ever staged in the Paper City. O'Brien, who has been improving at a great rate the past six months, | has been anxious for another “shot” at Ebbets, a chance, as Frankie puts it, to prove for all time that he is the better man. Ebbets has not been so willing. but two weeks ago his manager, ke Dorgan, brother of the late “Tad", affixed his name to a contract and these old rivals now meet again and in the great out- | doors.
