He is a sure fielder &nd he possesses a million dollar arm, but he has had a distinctive Weakness at bat. Tast evening, facing Erny Anders #on, New Britain Machine twirler, by no means a poor alab worker, O'Brien slapped out a clean double to left field in his first trip to the plate. Later in.the game he rapped out & singie. He got two bingles out of four trips. Milo Argosy, ane of the leading sluggers in the City Baseball league last_year, started the Industrial sea- son off with a bang last night when he connected three bingles in four trips off the delivery of “Lefty” Ha- ber. Milo is with the Newmatics. ) “Mickey” Noonan was behind they- bat again last night, but this time as umpire, He paired up with Larry Mangan, who would sooner lose his right arm than keep away from ::::uL Larry called them on the For an apening game, the Fafnir- New Britain Machine battle was a pretty fight. Both teams worked nicely in the flield and the score of € to 1 doesn't at all give any idea of how closely the teams were matched. Fafnir had the happy fac- ulty of bringink in its men, but the New Britain Machine has plenty of runners on the sacks. Jim O'Brién, besiles doing some nice hitting made a spectacular one- handed catch out in left fleld. Going back to the tennis court wire bar- rier, he stuck up his glove to cop off a drive that would probably have gone for cxtra bases. Tommy Matteo is wearing the col- ors of the Fafnir team this season. Leipitz. member of the champion- ship Fafnir team in 1921, is back at his post on first base. He performs nicely at the initial sack. Good sized crowds of fans gather- ed at the park to watch the games deapite a chill wind that swept up frém the meadows. The American golf invaders moved on to Berlin last night after mop- ping up England and France. The advance left behind Waiter Hagen and E4 Dudley, who failed to get aboard the train ~carrying, Horton Smith and other American pros who competed in the 8t.

OSMAND FAVORITE IN TURF GLASSIC Netropolitan Handicap Is Big Event for Matare Horses New York, May 24 (P—The ‘| Metropolitan handicap, rated as the most popular of American races:of one mile for mature horses, receives its thirty-sixth running tomorrow with all the color that attends the renewal of a historic stake event at fashionable Belmont Park. The American “Newmarket” will pay the winner about $16,000. It promises to be one of the amartest contests in the history of the beautiful Long Island track. Topping the list of eligibles is Osmand, Joseph E. Widener's great Ifive-year-old, which turned in his second toboggan handicap victory last 8aturday. The mighty son of Sweeper II is glated to carry the heavy impost of 128 pounds, the same weight he packed when he won the opening feature at Belmont. Ten pounds leas in the saddle finds Polydor, William Zeigler Jr.’s flashy four-y old, which made a horse race out of the Toboggan, losing only by a head. As a three-year-old Osmand fin- ished second to Whiskery in the Kentucky Derby. Then he came east and was second to Black Maria in' the Metropolitan. Again last year the Belment Park stake evaded the Widener gelding, Nimba leading the fleld home with Chance 8hot, Osmand’s stablemate, second, Chance 8hot is in tomorrow's fix- ture with 127 pounds. One horse, which may prove dan- gerous, is Finite, in with the feather of 107 pounds. At Saratoga last vear Osmand and Finite staged a head for head duel with the son of The 8weeper winning. Finite, how- ever, does not appear to have reached hin best form this season tiring rapidly in the six-furlong To- hoggan after leading the field for three-quarters of the route. Of the lightweights Regorra with 95 pounds appears most formidable in the light of his last race at Jamaica. ‘The son of The Finn, however, may be. reserved .for .the Withers to be run on Memorial Day. The same probably will be done with the Tlfinshy Jack High. which has been allotted 112 pounds.

They get a lot of satisfac- tion in shooting first and it is a courtesy which is protected in the rule book. The option of taking the honor on the first tee shall, if necessary, be decided by ‘lot. The player who wins the hole has the honor at the next tee. If a hole is halved., the side which had the honor at the previous tee ve- tains it. ; The- penajty foc stealing the rightrully belongs /to your partner or yeur opponent. us the case may. be, is that the shot may at once be recalled and may be re-teed in the proper order, witii- out penality.

Thomas' Semipary of Hart. ford will be entered on the books tomorrow when thie teams of the two institutions clash a3 o'clock at Willow Brook park.® ' The game will mark the first time in the history'of the seminary that the .baseball team has ever played off its home grounds in Hartford, But there, is ‘spmething ‘more signi- ficant in {he game than that.

On the first oc- casion his team failed to hit behind him and 8t. Thomas' won 6 to 1. In that game the New Britain High school team narrowly avoided a no- hit-no-fun game. .With two out in the ninth inning, Jd¢ Potts made a hit.. The Red and Gold team loat 6 to 2 in the second game'and on 4his accasion the New Diritain rcpre- sentatives made only three hits, “Bevo” Hurley was the mastar of the Red and Gold team on cach oc- casion.

TENNIS TEANS N ANOTHER BATIL United States and Japan {o Clash in Second Day's Matches Washington, May 24 P—With 2 one to nothing lead, the United States Davis tennis cup team today entered its second day of play with Japan in the American zone semi- final round. The play will embrace conclusion of the first singles contest and the series doubles match. John Van Ryn and John Hennes- sey for America and Yoshiro Ohta and Tamio Abe for Japan—are matched for the doubles encoutner at the Chey Chase club here. Van Ryn, the 22 year old former Prince- ton star, is pitted against Ohta, the Japanese captain, for the concluding play of the singles battle in which the American yesterday gained a two sets to one lead and an advantage of four games to two in the fourth set when play was stopped by agree- ment. The Japanese displayed unexpect- ed strength in yesterday's singles matches, cach capturing a set from the Americans. Owing to this show- ing they were conceded a chance for victory in the doubles. But the youthful American Davis cup duo has a faster all.around game and was counted on by its supporters to overcome the Japs' chief forte of crafty court generalship. Both Japanese suffered slight in- juries in the singles play. Abe fell in his match, bruising his right fore- arm and slightly straining a finger, and Ohta, while racing after the ball, suffered a cramp in his right foot. Neither injury, however, was serfous enough to slow up their play. Mrs. Herbert Hoover headed yes- terday's colorful gallery and Presi- dent Hoover has signified his desire to attend the matches either today or tomorrow, and another turnout of diplomats and government officials i had arranged to witness today's con- tosts. | Two moge singles games will be 1plaged . lgmotrow, . concluding the series.

He stole second and came home when H. Anderson dropped a high fly by Venturo. Venturo stopped at third on the play. O'Brien singled and brought him in and although Ferguson singled, Haber flied out to the pitcher to nd the scoring. The work of Matis in center fleld stood out for the losers - while the Fafnir-infield worked like a charm, pulling two lightning double plays to kill Newmatic rallies.
