" FAFNIRS AND CORBINS BATTLE TONIGHT IN INDUSTRIAL BASEBALL LEAGUE —ST. MATTS, - CHURCH TEAMS SCORE VICTORIES IN CHURCH LOOP—LORD AND BATTALINO FINISH 'l'RAlNlNG FOR TOMORROW NIGHT’S BGUT ATHLETICS ARE MAKING RUNAWAY OF LEAGUE RACE Connie Mack’s Crew Has Big Lead Over Second Place Browns — Down Detroit in 13-Inning Battle—St. | Louis Scores 6 to 4 Triamph at Washington— Yanks Make It Three in a Row Over White Sox— Cardinals Maintain Lead in National Loop. By_the Amociated Press. While five clubs snipe away at the National league lead, Cornelius McGillicuddy's Philadelphia Ath- letics have taken over the duty— usually reserved for the Yankees— of making a runaway out of the American league race. Only five games separate the first five clubs in the National league while the Athletics have a greater lead than that over the St. Louis Browns, who hold doggedly on to second place, much to the disgust of certain American league experts. The A's had to travel 13 innings to déwn Detroit and hung up their sixth straight win and 17th in their last 18 games yesterday and they shattered Geerge Uhle's nine game winning streak while they were about it. Bob Grove, the fast ball star, out- pitchéed Uhle convincingly enough but George himself was directly re- sponsible” for the.Tigers' downfall. Geing into the last half of the 13th with the score tied at two-all, Jimmy Fox opened with a double, his third hit of the game. Uhle then purposely walked Pinch Hitters Dykes and Cellins and then, not purposely, ‘walked Max Bisop as well, forcing home the winning run. Grove, fan- ning seven men, allowed only four hits. The Browns kept step with a 6 to ¢ triumph at Washington's expense, getting to Garland Braxton for four runs in the first inning. Sammy Gray kept the Senators’ ten hits well scattered. The “Ruth-less” New York Yankees made it three in a row over the Chicago White S8ox, winning 1-0 behind Ed Wells' two hit, pitching. The Yankees scored their single tally in the first inning on Combs’ single and the first of three doubles by Gene Robertson. Cold weather forced postpone- ment of the battle between Cleve- land and Boston. The ding-déng fight continued in the National league with the St. Leuis Cardinals maintaining their L game and a half léad over the field.

Stanley Memorial South Cong. .... he e A three run rally in the sixth in. ning enabled the St. Matthe: man Lutherans to come from behind for a 4-3 victory over the Stanley Memorial team at Willow Brook pari last night and capture their fourth straight Inter-Church base- ball league contest. Otto Suess started in the box for the winners and performed wecll, but the losers made the most of their four hits and the two St. Matt errors to take a 2-1 lead in the third inning. Kiefter was reached for a blow here and there, but only in the second inning had these been put together for a run. In that frame Ernst Klopp and Billy | Fink hit in succession. Going into.the sixth. however, the S8t. Matts finally found themselves. Billy Preisser started the rally, Klopp and Fink hit again, and Pinch Hitter Bill Burko cracked a safe bingle which put the league leaders two in front. The losers staged an- other flurry in the final stanza, but Billy Preisser stopped it after one! run had been scored. } Klopp and W. Fink starred at bat with three hits apiece. while Jack Thorstenson of the losers made two of his team’s four. The Stanmors accorded Kieffer perfect support.

Heinisch's d ties ended last Saturday when New Britain scored a sweeping victory over Crosby High school of Water- bury. Besides managing the regular sea- son of the track squad this spring, Heinisch had the cross-country squad to look after last fall. His duties were made more difficult be- cause of the fact that there was no gymnasium for the boys this season. As track manager Heinisch arrang- ed for meets, with the anction of Coach Lionel Depot and took care of the school track records. He is a senior, graduating this June. With the completion of Heinisch's term as manager, Assistant Manager Samuel Halpern is automatically promoted to managership.

BATTLE IN Two Leading Championship Contenders to Bltfle 'lt : DUSTY LEAGUE Walnut Hill Park Tonight—American Paper Goods and New Britain Machine Teams to Clash in Sec- ond Game of Night—Both Contests Scheduled to - Start Promptly at 5:30 o’Clock. , FIGHT PRINCIPALS "FINSH TRAINING Batalino and Lond Both Ready Tor Bout Tomorrow Night Hartford, June 4—Bat Battalino and Eddie Lord, who meet in the star bout at the Bulkeley Stadium, local Eastern league baseball park Wednesday night, will wind up their training today. Both have two weeks of harl work behind them and the word from the camps Is that thex are m fine shape for this battle which is regarded by both the Hartford kayo king and the Waterbury ex-school- boy as the most important ring event of their careers. There is no love lost between tho rival stables represented in this clash and there has been a lot of verbal hotshot spilled these past few days. The Battalino camp claims that the former national amateur cham- pion will win on a kayo, waving aside the fact, loudly heralded by the Lord camp, that Eddie has nev- er been off his feet. Hy Malley heads the camp which boasts Battalino as its prize exhibit while Denny McMahon, veteran handler of Kid Kaplan and until re- cently the manager of Frankio O'Brien, is in charge of the stable in which liddle Lord is a leading member. McMahon says Lord will win because he is smarter, faster and gamer than Battalino, The McMahon stable sends Al Beauregard of Hartford a~ainst Johnny Vacca of Boston in the cight-round semi-final. Vacca is the boy who floored Fidel LaBarba at Boston. FRENCH TENNIS STARS CAPTURE OWN TITLES Helen Wills Gives United States its Only Chémpioaship in Play at Paris. Paris, June ¢ (P—Fittingly enough, France's great tennis play- crs dominated the French hard court champlonships which ended here yesterday. Of the five titles at stake, France won two outright and shared an- other with England. Helen Wills captured the women's singles for the second year in succession and gave the U d States its only title. The woman's doubles went jointly to Spain and Holland in the persons of Elia De Alvares and Kea Bouman. Rene Lacoste, one of the four great French Davis cup stars, was the outstanding figure among the men as Miss Wills was among the women. After taking the doubles title with Jean Borotra, another French musketeer, Lacoste regained the singles crown by defeating Boro- tra in a hard-fought five set final vesterday. Henri Cochet, who won the singles crown last year, had to be satisfied this time with the mixed doubles title which he and Eileen Bennett of England captured for the sccond consecutive day.
