Pittsburgh, st. Louis and Chicago, which have taken turns in leading! the race in John Heydler's circuit today were bunched so closely that @ handkerchietf could cover them all. The Pirates of Pittsburgh held the lead by a two point margin over the St. Louis Cardinals with Chi- cago's Cubs only a half game to the ! vear of the pace setters. This condition of affairs can be accounted for by the fact that the Pirates picked yesterday to lose the #econd game in a row to the Brook- tin obins, 7 to 6, while St. Louis and Chicago both were recording victories. The Robins shelled Steve " 8wetonic off the mound in the fifth inning in a six-run rally, fcatured by Harvey Hendrick's home rurn with two on.

Scwel Chick Hafey's double, triple and {yina. 15th homer of the season helped the | Ruimett. Cardinals subdue the ferocious Piil- I"""“- lies, 10 to 9. Chuck Klein, Phil]jmus ¥ outfielder, tied Hafey for the Na-|prorter, x tional léague home run leadership by belting out a home run on his own hook. Another free hitting game at Chi- cago went to the Cubs by 10 to & over the Boston Braves. Seven pitchers saw service in the hectic| fray in which 28 hils were made. cluding six doubles, three triples and two home runs. John McGraws' New York Giants lost some.more valuable ground at Cincinnati where they bowed to the Reds, 7 to 3. Jal May outpitched Larry ' Benton, Carl Mays and Joe Genewich by a wide margin, allow- ing only eight scattered hits ‘while the Reds wer¢ pounding out 13, Behina the usual good pitching of Lefty Grove, the Philadelphia Ath- letics maintained their lead intact in the American league scramble by downing Chicago, 3 to 1.

Both are in finc shape and as both are aggressive boxers the prospect is « real battle, Ebbets is picked to win because of his great showing against Irankie O'Brien &t the Bulkeley stadium two weeks ago. The undercard promises a lot of rugged miilling and much variety, since it brings into action bantams, feathers, lightweigits, welter- welghts, and heavies. Most of the boys on the wunder- card are newcomers in Hartfori rings, but there are a few favorites such as Joe Zotter of New Britain, former amateur knockout specialist, and Jimmy Picardi, who won sev- eral bouts in Hartford this year. The winner of the Ebbets-Arthurs bout will be matched with Frankie O'Brien, another reason why Ebbets is more than eager to win, Harry feeling that he was robbed of the decision when he battled O'Brien here two weeks ago.

Chicago, June 11 (A—Otto von Porat, Norwegian heavyweight, last night technically knocked out Em- mett Rocco of Elwood City, Pa., con- queror ‘of Johnny - Risko, in the elghth round of a ten round match in the Chicago stadium with a sizzilng left to the chin after he failed to keep Rocco on the flcor with his right. Von Porat knocked Rocco down in the first round with a hard right to the head. ‘7The squatty Pennsyl- vanian jumped to his feet at the count of two and ran to- his own corner, He appeared dazed and frightened, but after shaking off the stage fright he made things decid- edly miserable for Von Porat until he was knocked sprawling at the end of the seventh round. With Rocco on his back, the beil ended the round at the count of fthree. He was dragged to his cor- ner, but was unable to renew the Lattie at the start of the eighth.

' Another athletic season at the New Britain High school has come to an end and with the exception of footbzll and track the. season nas been far from successful, In football the team went through the entire season with only one de- feat but despite this setback the Red and Gold team has as good a right to a claim on the high school state title as any team under the| present system. This is far from satisfactory as.far as selection of a title holder is concerned. Stam- ford High team was the only eleven which conquered th¢ Red and Gold team, but this team also went down to defeat later in the season. New Britain High captured the triangular championship by a small margin. It defeated Hartford Hign and tied with Hillhouse High of New Haven. The Elm City team was defeated by Hartford High and Hartford High was defeated by New Britain so the Hardware City team had one victory and one tie, Hartford had onc victory and one defeat and New Haven had’ one tie and one defeat. The football record was as fol- lows: New Britain 19, Pittsford 0: New Britain 12, Pittefleld 0; New Britain 7, Bulkeley 0; New Britain 6, Stamferd 26; New Britain 20, Coast Guard Junior varsity 0; New Britain 39, Adams High, Ma: 3 New Britain 7; Hilthouse High 7; New Beitain 7, Hartford Public High school 0. , At least the New Britain High school faotball teom can righttully claim the championship of Hartford county or of this:section. of the state, The team w captained by Louis Londino who in February was eR, the achool’s highest athletic award, the William ¥.-Burns' Me- morial trophy. Other stars were Eddie Sowka, fulloack and punter; Mike Grip and Alex Zaleski, half- baclis: Bogaanski and Nelson, ends; Ludwinowice and Szymanski tackles; Potts and Middleton, Casale, center. Szyman. ski was given the June Willlam F. Burns Memoriai award. Next year Captain-elect Potts, Al Middleton, “Penoke” ILudwinowicz, Bogdanski and possibly Mike Grip will be back of the regular team and John Dumin, center; Billy Ross, quarterback; Bill Mangan, halfback; Herby Carlson, fullb 5 Vitty Mi- kalauskas, guard; Staniey Never- doski, guard; Grimala, guard or tackle; O'Brien, guard, and Partyka and Schmarr, ends, will be out for the team. Two.who were going great in the second team backfield but who had to quit under doctor's order should be ready for service. They were Frank Zaleski, whose heart was weak, and Andy Wesoly, who fractured his leg. . Basketball The only bright spot in the entire basketball season was the victory over Hartford High achool in the first of the home and home seriea The New Britain team scored twe baskets in the last 20 seconds of the game and finished one point ahead of its Hartford riv: In the second of the home and home series, however, the Red and Gold team suffered a defeat by its ancient rivals. The Red and Gold team won two games out of niné, losing béth home and home games to Hiilhouse High school and dividing with Hartford High.

Nathan Lipman will captain the team next year. He was the steadi- t man on the squad during the aeason. With him will be the entire team which finished the last half of the season. Baseball Only three victories were chalked up in baseball and all of'them were on the Red and Gold team’s home grounds. Defeats were administer- ed to Lewis high school of Seuthing: ton, Suffield Preparatory school and Hartford high achool. The New Britain team had a chance to win the triangular league championship until its 9 to ¢ defeat from Hille house high school last Saturday.
