JOHNNY CLINCH BATTLES BILL LIEBERMAN AT STANLEY ARENA TONIGHT—RED SOX OPEN SEASON AGAINST MYSTIC TEAM TOMORROW — HIGH SCHOOL FACES BULKELEY IN HARTFORD —INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE BASEBALL SCHEDULE IS ADOPTED ° VES DEFEAT GIANTS " TWICE IN THE SAME DAY ‘Boston Team Comes From Behind in Both Games of Double Header—Cardinals Slip Ahead of Cubs by Defeating Pittsburgh Pirates—Robins Lose Ninth Straight to Phillies—Browns and Tigers Improve Standing by Turning Back Western Opponents. By, the Associated Press. ¢ the Braves stay up there an-|Detroit other month, they may begin to be- lieve that they belong in the first four. At any rate, Emil Fuchs seems to have taught the Tribe the first principle a team must absorb to es- cape from the second division—the sentle art of winning the one-run games instead of losing them. His warriors added to the woes of John McGraw yesterday by shading the Giants, 4 to 8 and 5 to 4, in a Back Bay doubleheader. What is ‘more significant, the Braves twice came from behind to nose out McGraw's ambitious seventh-placers, against the inimit- able Larry Benton in the opener and against No-Hit Carl Hubbell in the tenth round of the nightcap. Hub- bell was defeated with two out in the tenth after the Giants had given him a run in their own half. Clark's aingle through short and doubles by Dugan and Maguire turned the trick. Young Bruce Cunningham, the Pacific coast boy sent along by the Cubs as & sort of good-measure Of- tering in the Hornsby deal, made his first major league start in the open- ing game, and refused to be dismay- ed by his illustrious opponent. Art - Delaney had charge of the Boston firing in the second clash, and turn- od in fine & game as he has shown since his arrival in the ma- Jors. The Cardinals slipped ahead of the idle Cubs into the league lead by ‘eutlasting Pittsburgh in a groggy ten-round melee at Forbes Field. The champions scored one run in the ninth and another in the tenth to pull out the decision by 10 to 9. Almost everybody except Lonie Bush and Bill Southworth pitched, & and Jim Bottomley hit two home runs, : 'The Robing rounded out the Na- tional League program in their cus- temary manner, losing their ninth straight to the Phillies, 7 to 4. The ounly unusual item connected with this statement is that Dazzy Vance waga on the tiring line for Brooklyn. Dassler, was outpitched by Claude (Weeping) Willoughby, who hAs specialised in outpitching his oppenents this spring. Wiilioughby had the help of two heme runs by Frank O'Doul, the former Yankee and Giant, who drove in four runs.

CORBIN RED SOX START THEIR SEASON TOMORROW Tobinmen Open Against Mystic Team in Mystic—Fal- cons Playing Highland Cubs Sunday—Holy Cross Aggregation Slated to Cross Bats With Polish- American Club of Suffield — Sacred Heart Team Gets in Stiff Practice Session—Notes. LOGALS 10 PLAY BULKELEY TODAY High School Clashes With Kea- sington Team Tomorrow New Britain high school will at- tempt to score its first baseball vic- tory of the season over a Hartford aggregation when it clashes with the Bulkeley high school nine this afternoon at the Bulkeley stadium in Hartford. The Hartford nine has scored five straight victorlies and is considered one of* the strongest schoolboy tecams in the state. It has scored one-sided victories over Weaver and Hartford high. New Britain has lost two games to St. Thomas Seminary of Hartford Tomorrow afternoon, after a lay- off of a season, the Corbin Red Sox will pry off the 1929 baseball lid when it tackles the Mystic team in Mystic. Gathering together a good- ly number of his old veterans and a passe lof new candidates, Manager John Tobin, with “Lefty’” Bucklnd back in the fold, figures his crew as a winner over the strong Mystic crew. The 8ox have had several good workouts and the crew has shaped up in pretty good form for a tough battle. The infield has been show- ing plenty of pep while the fly chasers have been getting everything in and out of reach. Fortified by a strong battery, the Red Sox will give the opposition plenty of trouble, Despite the high winds, a gool practice sesslon was held by the Sox last night at Walnut Hill park. Manager Tobin has, decided to use Buckland and Sullick for his bat- tery.” The infield will be made up of Fields, Bucheri, Patrus, Fitzpatrick and ,Blanchard while the outficid will be taken care of by Yankaskas, Bergeron and Jackson, The team will leave from the Central Junior high school at 11 o’'clock tomorrow morning. Falcons vs, Highwood Cubs ‘The Falecons have a tough nut to crack on Sunday when they tackle the Highwood Cubs of New Haven, runners-up last year in the National Baseball tournament at Cincinnati. The Elm City crowd is practically the same as it was last season with the exception of Wilson who lett the team this vear to take a berth on the New Haven Eastern League club. The Falcons are scheduled to work out at 8t. Mary's Field Saturday afternoon in preparation for the game and Manager 8mulski expects the crew to go through soms stiff paces, twice postponed. Last week the lo- three games against Lewis high, Suffield and 8t. Thomas' and they have high hopes of breaking the winning streak of the Hartford ag- gregation this afternoon. Coach Cassidy will probably send *“Her- mie” Schmarr against Mangan will be on the end.

Partyka will probably be on the mound. Ken- sington may use “Huggy” Carlson to oppose him. played on the Percival grounds in Kensington, GASCOS WIN GAME Holy Cross-Sufficld Fresh from a victory over the Athletics of East Hartford last Sun- day, the Holy Cross aggregation will tackle the fast Polish-American nine of Suffield at the Washington school diamond Sunday afternoon. The visitors have an exceptionally strong combination and it is doubtful if the Holy Cross club will be able to sus- tain its winniyg.- streak. Manager John Cabay has called a practice session for Saturday after- noon at 1:30 o'clock and all mem- hers of the team are requested to be on hand. Burritts-Thompsonville The Burritts will open the scason Sunday afternoon against the Polish- American club of Thompsonville. The Burritts, answering the call of the diamond, reorganized for the scason and under Acting Manager Stanley Budnick, have started form- ing a strong schedule for the com- ing season. Sunday's game is the first of a long line of battles on the program of the team. Sacred Heart Practice The newly organized Sacred Heart haseball team held a strenuous prac- tice session at the Washington school grounds last night and a good ag- gregation of baseball players turned out.

Derby Day is Kentucky's day of days. Where England has a national institution in its own derby and France has its fashionably brilliant Grand Prix at Longchamps, the Blue Grass region has its horse race. All the color, the picturesque gathering, the blend of old traditions clings to this halt-century old event but, after all, it is & horse race. No one ming- ling in the throngs on street corners, in the hotels, everywhere, is allowed to forget it. This year, as seldom before, Louisville has drawn the pilgrimage of the faithtul, not only from its own hills and towns, but from far and wide. . Kentucky, as usual, has its fa- vorite. The roar of the crowd tomor- row will be front the hearts, as well as the pocketbook, if Blue Larkspur, the pride of the Blue Grass, comes hame first in the colors of the Idle Hour Farm of Col. E. R, Bradley Blue Larkspur has been the fa- vorite for the derby ever since he closed a fine two-year-old season. All his conditioning has been with the big prize in mind. The ‘Bradley organization suffered a severe blow in the loss of its chief trainer, “Dick” Thompson, now seriously ill farter an operation for appendicitis ‘Wednesday night, but there is every assurance that Blue Larkspur nev- ertheless will go to the post fit and re?rah); famous son of Black Servant, declared good in any kind of goins, probably will face the barrier a 2 to 1 favorite, with Ciyde Van Dusen, carrying the colors of H. P. Gard- ner, second choice, probably around & to 1, on the basis of wagering re- rted today. Pw’l‘wlce before, in 1921 and 1926, Colonel Bradley has seen his horses finish one-two in the derby. The chances are against a repetition of this honor tomorrow but the famous Kentucky turfman - will attempt it by also saddling Bay Beauty, a son of Black Toney, for the classic. Mishaps- and disappointments have wrecked a good portion of the original derby entry list but there is every indication of keen intersec- tional rivalry in the field that re- mains. The far west pins its hopes chiefly upon Naishapur, winner of the Tijuana derby and a close sec- ond in the rich Coftroth handicap on the Mexican track. There has been a strong dritt in the last day or two toward this chestnut son of Omar Khayyam, the 1917 derby winner. Ervast is another far western candidate but the rail- birds doubt whether Baron Long's entry can go the route. The southwest is expected to have at least two contenders, probably Calf Roper. Louisiana derby winner, and Panchio, both carrying the col- ors of the Three D's stock farm of Fort Worth. The east. not so well represented as when Whiskery and Zev were favorites, nevertheldss has hopes, even if somewhat faint, in Tair Stable’s Chicatie, the Belle Isle Stable’s Upset Tad and Minotaur, runner-up in the Preakness to Dr. Freeland. Kentucky and the middle west, however, present the strongest front in years against these challengers. It Blue Larkspur should disappoint, it will be no great shock to the form-players to have Clyde Van Du- sen romp home first, especially as this Man o' War gelding is good in ary kind of going. Kentuckians con- sider Clyde Van Dusen one of their own, for the colt has raced alto- gether in this state or Jilinois, al- though he is owned by H. P. Gard- ner of Amsterdam, N. Y. On the other hand, the Nut, another high- ly regarded colt, is now Kentucky owned, although bred at Harry Payne Whitney's farm. Thousands of Chicagoans, coming here in the biggest fleet of special trains from any section, will back their own favorites, particularly Karl Eitel and Windy City. “Bath House™ John Coughlin, picturesque Chicago political figure, appeared to have had his hopes dimmed when his Roguish Eye went wrong recently, but they have risen sharply as the result of a sparkling time trial by Karl Eitel, which covered the derby route in 2:09 3-5 two days ago and finished full or running. New Broom Is Badly Injured in Training New York, May 17 (M—New Broom, the colt by Whisk Brgom 2nd-Payment, for which C. V. B. Cushman paid $75,000, has been badly injured in training.

His left hand has always been Frankie's best weapon, but now he hits equally well with his right, which he throws in ashort, atiff punches that beat down his oppo- nents.

Reflecting over his first fight with the Texas youth, in which both re- ceived facial decorations, Blackburne said he never would permit Shires to play for him as long as he man- aged the club. “I don't know what will be done with him, but as long as I'm here, he won't be around,” said Black- burne, who is here for a series with the Tigers. “Shires has borne a grudge against me since he was sus- pended for breaking training rules down in Texas.. He has been ‘blow- ing off' constantly since then and probably is doing as much now. I can’t see how a fellow can get thst way, he is just a boy, of course, hut I can't put up with it.” Meanwhile, Shires was undecid>d whether to continue his law studics or to appeal for reinstatement after 10 days suspension.

WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD By the United Prems. Yesterday's Hero—Jimmy Wilson, 8t. Louis Cardinals’ catcher, whose double in the tenth inning scored Holm and enabled the National League champions to beat Pitts. burgh, 10 to 9. The victory gave the Cardinals undisputed possession of first place as the Chicago Cubs were idle and dropped half a game behind the leaders. Jim Bottamley drove out four hits, including two home runs, The Boston Braves beat:the New York Giants twice, ¢ to 3 and 5 te 4, Larry Benton and Carl Hubbell, the Giants’ two aces, losing to Bruce Cunningham, rookie from Los An- geles, and Art Delaney. The Braves won the second game in the tenth when Freddy Maguire's double drove in the winning run. Pounding Dazsy Vance out of the box, the Philadelphia Phillies won from Brooklyn, 7 to 4. Lafty O'Doul hit his sixth and seventh homers of the season. It was Brook- Iyn‘s ninth straight defeat, General Crowder and Al Melille starred in the 8t. Louis Browns' 1 te 0 victory over Cleveland. Crowder held the Indians to twe hits and Melillo drove in the only run in the ninth after Kress' single. ' Montreal, May 17 UPM—The United States team apparently has hurdled the first obstacle in its second cam- paign to bring back the Davis cup tennis cup from France. Victory yesterday in the first two singles matches in the first round American zone cup tie gave the United States a lead that the Dominion hardly can overcome. A victory in the doubles today or in ene of the two concluding singles matches on B8aturday will put the Stars and Stripes into the second round. The two United States victories yesterday were turned in by John Hennessey of Indianapolis and John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. J. Van Ryn, & new comer to Davis cup play, conquered Willard K.
