"By the Associated Press. “"If the American league only were “‘composed of just the Senators and the Athletics, life would be nothing But a long. sweet dream for the hire- “lngs of Prof. Cornelius McGillicud- dy. The aspiring Mackmen have played at a .650 clip against the other six clubs, but have averaged ‘& meat .923 against Walter Johnson's entry, which many picked to win the Barnard pennant. _is 13 out of 20 against the league in ‘Keneral, 12 out of 13 against their ; Washington cousins. The Athletics shifted the scene to | the Capital city yesterday to shade the Senators by 4 to 3 for the 11th straight Philadelphia victory, nine of which have been at the expense of the selfsame Senators. Walter Johnson's men took hope when they |, qn 5" Coltine 1. routed old Jack Quinn in the sixth and led by 3 to 1. But in the very next round Garland Braxton weak- Tened under the strain of carrying the lead and the Macks were ahead, 4 to 3, befare Fred Marberry could apply the brakes. Eddie Rommel, finisher extraordinary. held the edge to their end. The victory maintained the Ath- letics comfortably ahead of their field, two and a half games in front of the Browns, who shaded Cleve- 1and by 1 to 0, and five and one-halt to the fore of the Yankees and the ‘Tigers, who rested in a virtual tie for third place. Old Red Faber ap- plied the one-hit treatment to the ‘Tigers in @hicago to win by 2 to 0 as the Yankees went on a spree in Boston to halt the Sox by 15 to 4. Babe Ruth’s ninth home run was the crowning blow in a 16 hit assault which the champions showered upon the Messrs. Ed Morris, Ed Durham, Ed Carroll. Billy Bayne and Jack Russell. Waite Hoye was doing very well with the New York pitching until he became involved in.a heated debate with Richard Nellin, the umpire, in the interest. of the Hoyt batting average, which is ,2d7. Mr. Nallin, of course, won the argument by a unanimous vote, cast by Mr. Nallin himself, and Master Hoyt spent the rest o fthe afternoon in the club house wondering whether he would get credit for the pitching victory, which he did. The game marked the first ap- pearance of the Yankees upon Braves field, which the Red Sox use for Bunday games because of its ad- vantage over the Fenway in seating capacity. Rip Colling scattered seven'lndign hits to win over Willis Hudlin by 1 to 0 on only five safe blows by his 8t. Louis comrades. Blue double and Manush's single in the eighth set- tled the argument, leaving the Browns in a threatening position. The Pirates definitely inserted themselves into the National league Aght, for the moment at any event, by taking both ends of a double header from the Cardinals at Sports- man's park. The scores were 12 to 8 and 7 to 5. with Burleigh Grimes stampeding to the aid of faltering Pittsburgh pitchers in each engage- ment. The Cubs, aided by a Horns- by home. run, had little difficulty in turaing back the Reds by 5 to 1 at |/ Chicago. I ‘The Sabbath results in the Nation- al league left the Cubs leading the Cardinals by a margin of one full |y game, represented by a difference of two tn the losing column—this in spite of two defeats in three days for the Bruins in 8t. Louis. The Pi- rates rested only one and one-half games behind the Cubs, half a game to the rear of the champion Card- inals. The rest of the league re- mained below the .500 mark, despite the fifth successive victory of the Giants, who stopped the Braves by 15 to 8 at the Polo Grounds. The Robins completed the Na.

Cyrl team, of Harttord, at the Washing- ton school grounds yesterday aftec- noon. The local club so completeiy outclassed the Capital City ouifit that it wa: ver in danger. The defensive work of the Holy Croas team was of such a brand that that team could have held a much stronger club under control and this against a wealk organization made the game one-sided. After the win- ners had scored six times when the Hartford team’s defense crumbled in the second inning it was only a matter of how bad the visitors would be beaten. Zembko was on the mound for .| the home team and was in splendid 1| form. Hé allowed but six hits dur- ing the eight innings he worked and kept them so well scattered chat they were wasted by the. losais. Abramowicz twirled the ecighth in- ning for the Holy Cross outfit and although inexperienced had no tron- ble in holding the losers to a single run, this coming as the result of a wild throw by one of his mates. Neither team scored in the: first inning but in the second the hom: team went wild. With one out Tronski singled and czame hom? when Wendroski drove a triple to deep right. The latter came hoie a moment later on a wild pitch. Zembko then drew a pass. Dal- Lkowski went out on an infield pop but Grail singled. This hit scoied Zembk> who went to second un- molested and reached third on a wild pitch. Zapatka walked, moving Grail up a base. Salak grounded to second but F. Pietrycka erred al- lowing Grail to count and Zapatka to reach third. Kopec drew a pass and Gredar singled scoring Zapatka and Salv's. Tronski finished the inning by grounding out. In the next frame the visitors scored their first vun on an error and two singles. They did not count again until the eighth when after two were out Kopec heaved wild to third and allowed Yedzniak to reg- By wlesssc~cza00m olcsscscescenm to third on a single. The Holy Croas outfit kept pick- ing up runs throughout the game =s the result of the hits it connected with on each occasion when the visitors weakened.

Up until the final inning, the game was filled with long distance clouting and sen- sational fielding and was one of the best gamos seen at St. Mary's in some years, . The teams were evenly matched and backed up their pitch- ers in the pinches when hits meant runs. The iocals went into the ninth inning with a 4 to 2 lead. With the bases loaded and one out, Walicki and Budnick made errors in succes- sion, both with sure double killinzs in sight. These crrors, together with two hits. gave the visitors four runs and the gume. With the scora tied | at 2-all in the eighth, the Falcons had staged a brilliant rally and | chased w0 runs across the basc on extra base clouts, Longmoie was on the mound for the locals and after a shaky start the openirg inning when the West- ville batte: s found him for two runs, he pitched suparb ball for the re-| meinder af the game and was never in danger until the last two inning: He fanned seven men. “Farmei” Buckholtz, former Falcon pitcher, was on the mound for the visitors and showed good form. The locale battered his offerings for 11 safetics but his teammates accorded him great support with Falcon runners on the bases. | Joe Lawson, 2 son of the famous “Jack” Lawscn of the old Connecti- cut league, was on the receiving end of Buckholtz's slants. He caught & heady game and displayed a strong arm. His father was present at the game. Until the fatal ninth, the Falcon | infleld was like 2 stone wall and its defensive work was pretty to wato! The entire infield worked like a na- chine and took care of everything that came its way. Wojack, Walichi and Budnick were especially strol accepting 16 out of 18 chances. | ky" Wojack was a wonder at third base. The ex-Eastern leaguer | accepted six chances and his throws | [te first went like a bullet. Wojack ! ”ooka as good now as he ever did | and should have a great year. The Westville team was also strong on the defense, especially | Dolan in left field. He gave one of the greatest exhibitions ever secn at the local field. He made two catches of hits by “Chucky” Wojack that appeared good for triples and raced out in the general direction of the railroad tracks to make a one hand stab of a terrific liner hy “Micky"’ Huber. Incidentally, Huber is™hittirg the ball on the nose this year. *Starhead” Budnick was the hit- ting fool of the Falcons. In four times at bat he crashed out twol screaming doubles and a single. “Pat” Ros: banged out two hits whilg Jordan led the Westville team ! with three safeties. i Dolan opened the game with 1 single to center. Eichler walked. Jordan bunted and was safe at first. McGuire singled, scoring Dolan. Eichler scored on a wild pitch by Longmore. The local hurler then tightened up and = fanned Velardy 2nd McCurry. Riccio ended the in- ning by flying out to Walicki. Budnick’'s double and Riccio’s er-} ror on Huber's grounder give the; Falcons a run in the second. The locals tied the score in the ‘fifth 02 {hits by Rose and Walicki. Mean- while Tongmore had bcen retiring the Westville batters without tromn- ble. Neither team threatened un- il the eighth. Westville put two runners on the bases in the cighth but then were unable to score.

HELP IN TRACK MEET New Britain High School Athletes 200 001 Form Important Part in Victory of Hartford County Y. New Britain high school athletes were an important factor in the vic- tory of Hartford county in the State Intercounty Y. M. C. A. outdoor fleld and track meet Saturday at Middle- town. The Red and Gold sent its representatives for the junior events, the senior track squad being engag- ed in the triangular meet against New Haven and Hartford high schools at New Haven. The scores at Middletown were: Hartford county 97 1-2, Middlesex county 43, Windham county 29 1-2, New London county 29, Fairfield county 17, New Haven county 9, Litchfield county ¢. In the junior events Cianci of Cen- tral Junior high school took second place and Havelick of 8enior high came in third. The baseball throw was won by Havilick. In the running broad jump Munson of Senior high scored a third place. In the running high jump Ellms was second. The junior relay team of the Senior high, running for Hartford county, deteated Fairfield county's'team, covering the 220 yards in 28 1.5 seconds. Every New Britain man in ‘ the relay defeated his opponent. The team was composed of Ellms, Have- lick, Munson and McEvoy. New Britain was not represented in the intermediate and senior class events.

Keith DENTIST Leonard Bidg. 300 Main St. Telephone 3140 Nurse in Attendance The Days of Real I/ LOCALS LASE IN TRIANGULAR MEET Come in Thind Despite Winning of Five First Places Although the New Britain high school track team finished in third place behind Hartford and New Ha- ven Hillhouse " high school in the Triangular track meetin New Haven Saturday, the New Britain boys overcame great odds in experience and came nearer to winning the honor than any of its predecessors. The final score was Hartford 43, New Haven 42 and 1-2, and New Britain, 40 and 1-2. There was intense rivalry between Hartford and New Haven because each had two victories in the fight for the loving cup which is awarded to the team which wins three, The half-point margin settled the argu- ment and the cup is in permanent possession of the Capital City team. The meet was not decided until the last event, the broad jump, and if New Britain had been as strong in this event as it was in previous meets, top honors would have come here for the first time in the history of the triangular meet. However, the team captured five first places and tied for a sixth out of the 12 events. Hillhouse High had three first places and tied for s fourth and Hartford High school had three firsts. Sidney Lines of this city was the highest scorer of the meet with 11 points. Several records were smashed in the mecet.. Al Middleton who was taking part in high school athletics for the first time since the football season, is believed to have broken the New England scholastic record for the javelin throw. The distance {was 169 fect 1 and 1-2 inches. According to Coach Lionel Depot Neverdoski threw the discus for a new local ‘school record. Johnson, Iin the shot-put event, heaved thc iron for 43 feet 7 inchcs. He broke his own school record. Joe Jenke- lunas, in his first year as a pole vaulter broke the New Britain high school record with a vault of 10 feet, nine inches. Although there is a questiou in the record for the 100 yard dash, it is said that the 10-second-flat dash of Sidney Lines |at least equalled it. He, also, may have established the school's broad jump record with a leap of 20 feet, 6 and 1-2 inches. He was leading the broad jumpers in this event until Harrison, negro, of Hartford, made the leap which spelled defeat |for, the New Britain team's hopes. It was for 21 feet. 7 inches, : Poor Field The meet:was held at Beaver Pond field in New Haven, a place which was far from satisfactory as a site for a: tracik meet’ 'The track was not long enough .for the 220-yard and other events and it was neces. sary to run out on a highway wheie a policeman was stationed to holl up traffic. To make a record in a 100-yard dash as Lines did was an accomplishment, In the first place the line war nothing more than a path through the park with over. hanging branches of large trees. The four corners of the track had ‘ron poles in each of the corners. The lines were not marked. The first event was the 100-yard dash. Sidney Lines who on thrce occasiong tlis year made the dia- tance in 10 and 1-5 seconds bettercd his record when he did it in 10 flat. He finished far ahead of his second place man. 1In the 220-yard dash he scored in 23 and 2-5 seconds. “Bill"” Helm who this season had been doing fairly well in the mile event, reached the height of the season’s play when he won the event in four minutes and 5¢ seconds. He came from bechind in the final 100 (Continued on Page 10.) Sport HIGH SCHOOL TEAM DROPS ANOTHER TO SEMINARIANS Brilliant Pitching of “Hermy” Schmarr Is Nullified by Poor Base Running—Local Lad Allows Only One Hit Up to Eighth Inning—Saints Take Game by 8 to 1 Count—Visiting Aggregation Proves Itself a Better and a Smarter Combination. Brilliant pitching by “Hermy" Schmarr in the New Britain High- St. Thomas' Seminary baseball game at Willow ' Brook park Saturday failed to result in victory when the team passed up several runs because of poor base running. The final score was 8 to 1, but the New Brit- ain team nearly equalled its rivals in hits, the count being six to five. The Hardware City nine was be- hind 2 to 1 during the greater part of the contest. In the cighth in- ning 8t. Thomas' put over another run without making a hit and as the teams went into the ninth iu. ning the Red and Gold team re- tgined a lead in hits. In the ninth, however everything went wrong. 8t. Thomas’ started to hit. This aided by a combiuation of factors put tne New Britain nine out of the run- ning. With one out Schmarr was relieved by Linnehan who finished the game without allowing any more runs to cross the plate, The Hardware City team was beaten by a better and smarter tea'n. The Hartford team which h a record of defeating New Britain three times in baseball this season, showed itself as a snappy aggressive outfit which is thinking and playing heads-up baseball at all times. It Geserved to win. Sympathy should go to “Hermy" Schmarr who worked like a Trojan and was successful in holding St. Thomas' to one hit up until the eight ifining. The second hit re- sulted in a run and the third came after 8t. Thomas' had scored its run. Both teams went scoreless until the third inning when Clark, Red and Gold second baseman, singled wtole second, and scored on Ro: single. Although Ross got around to third he wax caught between third and home on a smart play between the catcher and pitcher. A double stecal was attempted. Bogdanski started for second, the catcher motioned as if he were going to throw to second to stop the man Lut instead threw quickly to the pitcher who caught Ross “in a pickle” between third and home. Immediately after this out, the ball was relayed to the third baseman who laid it on Bogdanski for the third out. At the beginning of the next in- ning Neimiec was given a base on balls. He stole second and a balk by Schmarr sent him to third buse. He scored on an infield out. Filip later scored on Partyka's error. In the last of the sixth Bagdanaki went to first base on a pass and on the next pitch he started for second. The second baseman had the ball ready to tag him, but Bogdanski charged at him and he dropped the ball. Umpire Larry Mangan called him out and when there was a pro- test he said it was no way for a man to go into the bag. He later ex- plained that Bogdanski was tagged before he reached the bag. Hurley hit a two-base sock in the seventh inning, but he was out when he failed to touch first base. The score was still 2 to 1. In the eighth inning Gilbert sin. gled. and stole second. He made third base on a wild throw. Neimiec hit to Bogdanski and although he was retired at first the runner on third scored. Partyka then made a shoe string catch retiring the side just as a man was cutting for home plate, §t. Thomas' batted around in the ninth inning. Kelley hit to Partyka who threw poorly to first base and X the runner was safe. Kelley stole second and went to third on a pere fect bunt which put the ‘runner on third base. Schmarr's balk sert Kelley home with the fourth run, Successive hits by Zovarskas, Curtin and Gilbert made the acore € to 1. With the bases flled Schmare welked Neimiec and the count was $ to 1. Schmarr left the game and the side was retired by Linnehan. Neimiec was the best man on the 8t. Thomas' team, although the out field was very strong defensively. For New Rritain Bogdanski's throws to first and his felding, Potts’ hand- ling of difficult throws at first base, Clark's . all-around play and Schmarr's pitching were features. The summary: ST.
