By _the Amociated Press. The leng, long trail ended for the Athletics and the Giants yesterday when the Tigers and the Cubs spent their respective afternoons in get- ting & bit of revenge for recent in- dignities, but no great cheer was heard to go up from the camps of the Browns and the Yankees at the general state of affairs in the American League. entry gained one full game on the flying Mackmen as a result of the day's progceedings, and the Browns held their ground, but neither re- |- .ceived any guarantee.that Professor Connie Mack would not go forward aghin at an eariy date. The Athletics were due to iose a game sometime, and it had to be the veteran John Picus Quinn who succumbed to Detroit bats. Afier the deun of all the pitchers retirel frem the field of action, Mr. Mack tried the daring experiment of ex- . pesing Oswald Orwoll to epemy fire, with the result that the Tigers seal- ‘ed thelr victory by 8 to-4 to the ‘accompaniment of home runs by Hellmann and Shea anjl fine pitch- ing by Victery Sorrell. The Detroit- er nevertheless failed to last out ‘the game, and Stoner finished. With Ruth and Gehrig still on the shel?, the Yankees were not so fero- clous on the offensive as they have been known to be, but, they had enough to squeeze out the decision over Red Faber and the White Sox by a 4 to 2. Red failed to reach the heights he sometimes achieves _against the Hugmen., and Henry Johnson was some better than he has been on certain occasions this The New York| year. + The Yankees now have seen four|¥ successive starting pitchers finish their games.

The contest which will be played at New Haven Saturday afternoon, will be the closing attraction of tl season as far as high school sports are concerned. It is fitting that the season be closed with a victory a~d Coach Cassidy's men, led by their captain, Bill Mangan. aie expected to play their hardest with so much to gain. A victory will give the team two victories and one defeat in the triangular games. The team is full of confidence after its victory over Hartford High in this city last Saturday. There | may be a possibility that Flood, a member of last year's American Le- gion champions from Hartford, will be eligible and if this is the case the team will be at its greatest strength Coach Cassidy is undecided where he will use Flood because of the fact that the boys who make up the pres- ent team are doing sa well. Stanley Fartvka who suffered an infection in his hand while practic- ing wiih the football team last fall, has found it necessary to sce a spe- cialist in Hariford. One of his fingers is also in poor condition from the effects of an injury receiv- ed in a game recently. BATTALINO AND LORD 70 CLASH!

Hartford, June 5 — Battalino on knockout—Eddie Lord on points. | Those are the viewpoints that Hartford fans and fans in other Connecticut cities take on the state featherweight battle between Eddie Lord of Waterbury and Bat Batla lino ot Hartford which will be stag- ed this evening at the Bulkeley #tadium, local Lastern league base- | ball park. Battalino's great record of knock- outs, both in the amateur and in the professional end of the game, have forced the opinion that he will be the winner and, as usual on a kayo, but Lord has his supporters, if not 48 numerous as those of the Hart- ford boy, and they sec the former Brass City high school track star as sure to outsmart and outpoint the! vicious, rushing Battalino. Lord's showing in his recent fights at Hartford in which he beat Tony Leto of Klorida, who had Battalino on the fioor Foot Guard hall last winter, and ncho Villa of New conqueror ot the veteran “Chick” Suggs. have added much to the prestige of the Waterburian, This bout has created state-wide interest and it is expected that 7,000 will see the scrap. There is an attractive undercard with the feature an eight-round semi-final between Johnny Vacca of Boston and Al Beaurcgard of Hart- They met in a whirlwind bout at Pittsfield about a year ago. Vacca 1s the boy who pushed himself into t limelight when he floored Kidel LaBarba at Boston, giving the Californian several bad moments, Tonight's* show is the sccond of the outdoor season here, the O'Brien-Ebbets bout ushering in the open air season in Hartford. G When Lou Gehrig smacked out three home runs as an afternoon's work against Chicago recently, the three rousing clouts were interpreted in some quarters as the opening salvos of Gehrig's determination to some day reign as king of the home run hitters. Babe Ruth is the king now and Lou is the crown prince, but the Babe's days are fumbered and Lou is just a young 'un as players go. There are some who figure that Babe is bound to go the way of all great ones of the past, perhaps this scason. And when he goes—well, Gehrig is the man who probably will succeed him. Gehrig waged a merry race with Ruth in 1927 for home run honors, but slipped in the last few weeks and Ruth went on to a new record of 60 homers for a season. ‘Those three home runs at Chicago put him in the lead, at least for a experts that Gehrig is likely to be hard to displace as home run lead- er if he maintains that lead for a few weeks. However, Gehrig's value to the Yankees doesn’t rest solely on his home run hitting. He is playing a splendid game at first and hitting harder than ever before. And he hits around the .370 mark and that is enough to keep a man his job whether he ever hits a homer or not. WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD By the United Press.

HARRY FRAZEE DIES SUDDENLY Man Who Sold Babe Ruth to Yankees Succumbs at Home New York, June 5 P—Harry H. Trazee, the man who sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees, died suddenly (last night at his Park avenue home. He was 48 years old. A spectacular figure for years in the theatrical and baseball world, he had suffered the last year from Bright’s disease, but had been able to be about until yesterday when lie fell into a coma. His sale of Ruth for $137,000, at that time the largest sum ever paid for a baseball player, was - made when he was owner of: ths “Boston Red Sox. He had bought the team in 1916 for $500,000 and after seil- ing many of its atars for high prices disposed of the team to a syndicate in 1923 for $1,250,000, Born in Peoria, Ill., he began his career at 16 as an usher and box office man in a Peoria theater, la- ter becoming advance agent for road shows and finally a producer. Amiong his early successes ere “Uncle Josh Perkins” and “Madame Sherry.” The climax of his caresr was “No, No, Nanette,” which was reputed to have made him millions.

Corbin and the New Brit- ain Machine came through as vi tors in the Industrial league base- ball games played last night at Wal- nut Hill park. Corbins defeated Fafnirs in a tight battle by the score of 5 to 3 and thereby went into a tie for first place with’ Lan- ders. The Newmatics won their first game of the year by defeating the American Paper Goods, throw- ing three teams into a tie for third place. “Tomorrow _night, the Stanlcy Works and Stanley Rule teams will meet at Walnut Hill park in the only game scbeduled in the leaguc. P, & F. Corbin 5, Fafir 3 One of the freakiest endings seen on a local ball field shattered the hopes of the Dragons in the ninth mning of their game with P. & I% Corbin and gave the latter a vie- tory. With the tying run on third and the winning run on second ard iwo out, Walicki, who was on thira, walked off the bag, thinking Jim O'Brien had struck out after the count had reached three and two but Umpire Billy Fitzpatrick callzd a ball although most of the crowd and Walicki thought Jim had swung at the ball and missed for a ihwl strike. Wright, catcher for the winners, noticed the mistake on the part of Walicki and tagged the lat- ter before he had a chance to get back to his base. This was the third out. The game was one of the best played in the Dutsy league this sea- son and was a hard fought battle all the way, The winners by scor- ing two runs in the third and agan in the fourth inning established a lead which was never overcome but often threatencd by the losers. Gray hurled splendid ball for Cor- bins untit the final frame when he became wild and walked three men. The freak play, however, came as a life saver to him as O'Brien's walk would have filled the bascs. A triple to left center by Bucaeri and a single to left by Walicki in the second gavc the Dragons the first run of the game. This lead was short lived, however, as Haber passed Preisser after two were out in the third and Patrus clouted a homer to left center. In the next session the winners put two more over. After one was out, Jaglowski reached first when he was hit by a passed ball. Bue- cessive singles by Heinzman. Wright and Gray brought in two runs but a great throw by Tommy Matteo which nipped Wright at the plate when he tried to score from sec- ond on Gray's single, checked the rally. The Dragons got ore back in the sixth when Preisser threw poorly to first after fielding Haber's groundcr. The latter stole s2cond from where he scored on Bucheri's single. The losers pulled one run closer in the fcllowing inning when they scored on Walicki's single and Ken. ure's double. This was offset a mo- ment later when a single by Prets- ser and a double by Patrus ac- counted for another run for the win- ners. Neither team scored in the eighth but the losers ihreatened in the last frame. After Krause was out, Wal- icki walked.

The score was 6 to 5. The Newmatics scored first in the second inning when Kasprow cross- ed the plate with a run and they kept this lead until the sixth when the Paper Goods tcam staged a ral- ly that gave them four runs and & resultant lead of 4 to 1. Immedis ately in the same inning, the News matics, getting a break when Wil. liams, set to take a high fly in right field, tumbled over a scooter placed in the lot, staged a rally of their own and before they finished they had scored four runs to again lead by one run. The Paper Goods team returned to the battle to get one in the sev- enth but the Newmatics came back to score still another in 'the ninth and when the Paper Goods failed to score in the final frame, the Newmatics tucked their first vice tory of the season under their arms and went home. . k13 5 Erny Anderson, pitching .for the Newmatics, deserved to ‘ win. He pitched a pretty. game ,against : th Kensington outfit. He fanned nip men and walked only one. He al- lowed a total of seven hits but ex- cept for the big sixth inning, kept the bingles well scattered. On the other hand, the Newmatics belted out eleven safeties. Joe Mc- Cormick started and allowed only one hit for two innings. With two out in the second, a sore arm forced him to retire and his brother Jim relieved him. Jim held the New- matics hitless until the sixth when three hits, an error and a misplay by Kane, gave the Newmatics the lead again. 1In the eighth, thres more hits rang out from the Now Britain Machine bats but, througi (Continued on the Following Page) BY BRIGGS Yes MAm NINETY SIX ON TRACK FOURTEEN 'Ll ASK Him= No TRovBLE s 1 R 7 team - o MY WHAT A v Q\)ESTIOMETER\ WONDERFUW M BRAIN You, HAVE JiMm !
