Speaking of Sports FEETSELISLCITSTEBOVTTIID Almost all of the baseball teams in this city will be in action tomor- row afternoon, mome of them on their home grounds and others on the road. The outstanding contest of the day appears to be the impend- ing battle between Kenaington and Mystic in the Paper Goods town. ‘Mystic will* throw in Harry Mills to pitch against Kensing*on. Mills is a former Kensington player and his one delight will be to pin a de- feat on the team to which he once belonged. Another feature game will be fought out tomorrow when the Cor- bin Red Sox team meets the Man- chester Recreations in Manchester. The Red Sox after losing a couple of contests, started on a winning streak and it will take an exception- ally good team to stop them. The Falcons have taken a line of players from the Burritt team and for this reason, the Burritts haven't a game scheduled for tomorrow. The Falcons are trying out a reorganized lineup substituting men for a quar- tet of veterans who have been let out of the picture. Joe Jusper, Joe Luty, Wally Ko- pec and “Ty Cobb” Gaida, are the four who have been signed to re- place “Hickey” Noonan. “Chucky” Wojack, *“Starhead” Budnick and Mickey Huber. The Sacred Heart team plays to- morrow afternoon at Willow Brook park, picking out the Wallingford Cubs as the opposition. The Holy Cross aggregation will also be in ac- tion tomorrow afternoon at the Washington school grounds. An argument developed last night in the City league meeting over the use of Joe Tronosky, an outfielder. Joe will decide the question and, ac- "&rfl!;\g‘ to reports, he will play with b # Cross aggregation. The City league will swing into ac- tion a week from foday with all games being played at Walnut Hill park. Only one game is to be played in the Industrial Baseball league Tues- day night, according to the sched- ule. This will bring together the American Paper Goods and P. & F. Corbin teams, This is the first meet- ing hetween these two since the league opened. Two games will be played next week on Thursday night. Stanley Rule will meet Fafnir and Landers will battle the New Britain Machine. Btanley Rule expects to win its first game and Landers will have to step on the gas to win from the New- matics. Harry Lenihan's crew at the New Britain Machine won its first game against the Paper Goods last week and it will be a hard matter to atop the crew now, once it has got go- BROWNS SHELLAC ATHLETIC CREW (Continuad from preceding page.) memeoy = Clark, of Maranville, sa Taylor, ¢ .

BY VERNE WICKHAM While the rule hook gives you five minutes in which to find the lost ball, it is not always in keeping with £00d golf form to take the full time limit. You'll find golfers who abuse the privilege and the time limit. They stall around in the rough looking for their ball while the foursomes g0 through so fast they look like a parade, | It is very seldom necessary 1o search long for a lost ball if you watch the flight from the tee and mark its landing place. If vou and your partners can't find it on the first or second trip over the spot where it landed. you probably could loolk all night and not find i In match or medal play. the rule book gives you five minutes before the penalty can be declared. The penalty for a lost ball is one stroke and.the new ball is dropped as near as possible to the mpot where the ball was lost. In tournament play vou naturally will take the full time limit to look for the ball hefore declaring the penaity. but. in an ordinary four- some play. it is not always polite to take five minutes to look for a bail. The ball is usually found in a few moments unless it in hopelessly lost. You'll find many good golfcrs making it a policy to allow one foursome 1o play through while looking for a lost ball and if the ball isn't found by that time they throw out another ball and move on.
