BURRITTS BLASTED Laocal Bascball Team Suffers Disas- trous Reverse in First Game in Thompseonville, The Burritt A. C. baseball team met with disaster yesterday in the opening game of the year for them. Playing in Thompsonville, the locals met an extraordinarily strong aggre- sation and lost by the score of 14 to 3. The game was featured by the masterful pitching of Rypysc and the hitting of Herbert and Peorck for the Burritts. Perry Parsons, playing at first base, had a wonder- 1ul day in the ficld. He demonstrat- €d that he is clearly one of the best first sackers in this city. -~ Bruno Kania started the game but he was driven from the mound in the early innings. Al Havlick then took up the burden but the damage had been done. Bruno kept in the contest and featurcd with his hitting. The summary: POLISH AMERICANS e E.

The acore was 15 to 10. The winners had a 10 run advantage when they took the field after their turn at bat in the fourth and it ap- peared as though they had the game scwed up. The Hely Cross team managed to get four runners over in this session but it was not untill the sixth that they did their heavy work. In this frame Kredar and Dalkowski hit homers which accounted , for five runs which added to another made in this session brought them on even terms with the winners. After having completed their third double play of the game in the eighth and with one man on the locals were the victims of a home run clout by Murawski which was the longest hit made on the Wash- ington ground this season. Another home run almest long was made by Fuller of the visitors in the third at which time two runners were on the bases. The chief weakness of the home team was in the field when the visitors had men on bases. Five er- rors, each of them costly, aided the winners in getting most of their tal- lies and kept the losers fighting up- hill all the way. In the first inning the winners scored twice on three singles and a base on balls. Tie Holy Cross out- fit however gave Zembko splendid Boston at Cincinnati. 3 Games Boaton at Cincinnatl.

SACRED HEARTS LOSE East Hartford Athletics Score Three Runs in First Frame to Give Them Playing its first game of the year, the Bacred Heart baseball team yes terday was defeated 6 to 3 by the | East Hartford Athletics. The locals put up a good game considering the ¢ handicaps under which they were working. East Hartford started off in the opening inning with a three run rally that proved too much for the Hardware City tcam to overcome.

A fine double play in the second after an error had al- lowed a visitor to get on prevented the winners from scoring. A single and error and Fuller's homer gave the Suffield club three more in the third. After one man was on in the fouth Zembko weak- ened when his support went to pieces and-before the visitors were retired they had five more runs. Christopher went to the mound at the close of that frame and for the next three innings kept the visi- tors away from the plate but he was nicked for the fatal homer by Mu. rawski with one on and two out in the eighth. The home team did all of fts scoring off Lucy who took the mound in the fourth and retired in favor of Fitka in the seventh. Mu- rawski hurled the elghth and ninth and was just as much a mystery to the home team as he was in the first three innings when he held them scoreless, During the five innings he worked Murawski allowed but two hits and fanned eight.

It was the first time that the New Britain team has been able to defeat Crosby on their home track and although the margin of .victory was a sizable one every point, was closely con- tested. Thrilling finishes were the rule with “Bill” Helm of the New Britain team furnishing two of them. In the half mile run, Helm came from third place in the last 25 yards to defeat two Crosby men by inches, In the mile, Helm and Pffersick, also a New Britain man, fought for first place with Helm again coming from behind to win. Sidney Lines duplicated his feat of traveling 100 yards in 10 seconds flat and also won the 220 yard dash, both by good margins. lines has not been beaten in either the 100 or 0 dashes all season, continu- oing the century in ten and LIONEL M. DEPOT ten and one-fifth seconds. Saturday he did the 220 in 23 2-5 seconds. The 440 yard dash again furnished a thrilling finish, this time between Captain Grzybowski of the local team and Mahoncy of Crosby. In the last few yards both men fought each other off, first one, then the other laking the lead, but Grzybow- ski managed to pull ahead at the end for a well earned victory. As is most always the case, New Britain did well in the field cvents, taking four first places and tying for two out of a possible aix. Grimala took first place in the shot put Wit a toss of 41 feet, 2 inches, Neverdoski taking second and Mid- dleton third.

In the running broad jump it ap- peared for a while as though Crosby would take first with a jump of 18 feet 11 inches by Haight, but Captain Grzybowski did 19 feet 10% inches on his third try, ‘assuring New Britain of first place. Although unable to do 20 feet as in the tri- angular meet, Sidney Lines' was good enough for third place. Both the high jump and the pole vault ended in ties. Gwiazda of New Britain and Chisholm of Crosby were tied for first in the pole vault, after both failed on 10 feet 1 inch. Both vaulters did 10 feet on third tries but were unable to go higher. | Jenkelunis, who did 10 feet 6 inches lin the triangular meet, failed with Arel and McDonald of Crosby at a | much lesser height for a threc-cor- nered tie for third place. did 5 feet 6 inches to tie for first | place in the high jump.

And George Uhle can attri | bute a good share of his brilliancy | in winning nine successive games 0 the perfection of a new delivery— the “slide ball." That, at least, is the conviction of Bucky Harris, pilot of the fam- ous champion Washington Scnators| of 1924-25, who is guiding the cur-| rent destinies of the Tigers for the| first time. *“Uhle has done declared Harris, now on his fi eastern swing. “Of course he has| everything, control and lots of stuf as well as a fast ball whenever he| needs it. But he has something new this season. You can call it a ‘slide ball’ It's neither a curve nor a but is a fast one that slides’ away from a right-handed | batsman as the ball nears the plate. | Uhle perfected it this ng. € “Sammy Gray, onc of the main- stays of the Browns., has developed something like it and several of our pitchers are getting the hang of 1t | but Uhle is the only one getting real results.” * wonders for u: After watching the Athletics b ter his club to defeat twice in a row on Friday and Saturday, Harris was quite willing to share the view of critics who see the pennant pros- pects of the Mackmen through ro colored glasses. “Connie has a great ball club but T think it will be a much closer race in the American league this year than at any time since the Yankecs gained the ascendancy over my old Washington club. “Don’t make any mistakes about counting the Yankees out now.
