The game was just one inning longer than the previous' distance affair, which ec- curred in 1926 and in which the 8t. Matts found themselves on the losing end with the Trinity Methodists an their conquerors. From start to finish the contest | was réplete with thrills as the tean engaged in the bitterest, most de- termined sort of baseball in efforts to take the game. Seaberg, pitching for the losers, held the St. Matis to the low total of seven hits in the 1% innings, two of these coming in the lazg semsion and proving his undoing. A few passes here and there, how- ever were turned to advantage hy the winners and kept them fn the game :despite their inability to hit. The Bethany: players gathered ten safeties off Surko and Billy Preisser. A crowd of 250 saw the game. The 8t, Matts started in the initial inning ‘when Eddie Preisser drew a pass: and scored on Carison's ervor with two away. The losers camc right back to go into the lead in the second. Hits by Olson, Strom and Lagerlof sent the first two named around ‘for scores. Olson counted again two Irnings later, and with Seaberg applying the brakes to the 8t. Matta; the Bethany went into the last tnning with a 3-1 lead. Then the 8t. Matts rallied. Reckert hit safely and Luddy Neumann drow a pass. The former scored on an | error and Neumann when R. Fink blasted a clean hit, but W. Fink tried 10 miake the plate on the same play and was thrown out. The extra iunings were thrilling all Time and again one side or the ather would get a man to third but fail to score, and man aftor man was caught at the plate when desperate base running was offset by perfect’ fielding. The losers got a man 'to" third with one out in the 12th, but Fink took a foul and the | next man was easy. At last. in *he last of: the 13th the blew-off came. Klopp drove a single through short, etole ‘necond. and went to third when the throw to get him was wid-.

Matts by handing a 10-3 beating to a crippled and wob- bly South Congregational church team. Bell received terrible sup- port in the first two innings and the Bwedes piled up eight runs on a few hits and some loose felding. “Red™ Nelson, Bwede third sacker, fea- tured the second inning with a home 1un to center field with one man on. Barta took over the losers’ pitching assignment and, with tighter sup- port, succeeded in holding the Swedes in check for the remainder _|of the game, but the Bouth church was able to score but three runs off the delivery of Bill Fresen. Nelson_led the Bwede attack with a homier and two singles, while Bar- ta was the moving force for the los- ers and got a triple and pair of ‘one- baggers in three trips to the plate. The feature: of the game was a miraculous catch by Billy Bomba. Diving .over .the foul line in deep left, the South church outfielder plucked the ball off the grass tops with one hand and then rolled over three times. The fall shook him up considerably, but he held the ball. In the next inning he made another great catch of a Texas leaguer at his shoetops. Nelson’s work at third was a feature for the winners.

The Methodists counted three times in: the first frame but the Stanmors got four in the same inning. In the second the Methodists tied the score only to have the Stanmors make four more runs and sew up the game, The losers were helpleas after the third, Kieffer, winning pitcher, made a home run and a single. while his catcher, Jack Thorstenson, made a single;, double, and triple.

At least that is the schedule for the titst six day roller skating pro- gram marathon ever staged. But from the tumbles, collapses, fist fights, and frantic pace set by four- teen three-man teams from the start of the grind at 9 p. m. in Madison Square Garden . last night, it seems # though thers might be nothing hut amall pieces of the whole affair left by mid-week. From Italy, Germany, Engiand, Chicago, Cleveland, 8t. Louis, Minneapolis, 8t. Paul. Los Angeles, Detroit, Reading. Pa., Syra- cuse, N. Y., an1 way stations, roller wskating veterans and yeungsters of assorted shapes and sizes came to the Garden to crowd the bhanked pine track with hurtling, multicolor- d figures in skin-tights. They fill- ed the house with the roar of their skates, the air with fine dust from France, |the track, and the small inaugural crowd with wild enthusiasm. The center of attractoin, as the fourteen teums, with one man rae. ing at a time, dashed madly for the first bank at the opening gun, was Chestie Joe, for years America’s greatest miler, then Olympic mara- thon star and lately a prole.-tanul runner. Through his entire foot racing career, Joie could be depended upon to furnish his public with thrills and entertainment. And last night W. | Le did not fail them. Making .the first relief, CJoie launched himself into the pack of flying, arm-waving veterans. He fought gallantly for half a dozen yards, lost his balance, ‘got hit in the chest, and sat down with a solid thump on the hard pine boards. It was the first toss of the evening but by no means the last. Joie as well as almost every other man in the race, bounced off the boards hard and often. Some of them had to be carried off and revived. Others came up fighting and the ciowd was hilarious“from the fun and ex- citement of it all. “It's a new racket for me, but 1| like it,” the indomitable Joie said bunk. “T didn’t fall down, 1 was pushed. I'll be preity good at this before the week is over.” The pace was so hot at the start that the tcams covered 10 miiles in the first 30 minutes. The pace, it kept up for six days and six uights, would be fast enough to carry the leading team from New York al- most to California. The rush soon subsided, however, and despite the valiant skating of Ray’s team:nates. Joe Laurey, of Chicago. and Jim Framton, of New York, the trio fell rapidly bcehind. Forty laps were stolen-in the first hour and for the opening night at least, thé race was | well within the wooden rollers of the two favored teams. Therc were A. R.

Word seemed to pass around out- side the building that a new ‘and interesting way of avoiding sleep had been discovered. Such rumors have been known to pack. the Garden until dawn in the past. Men’s Choral Club Is Name of New Chorus “The Men's Choral Club of New Britain,” was the name chosen last night for the new male chorus re- cently formed under the ae of F. W. Macomber. The cherus will be devoted, according to the con- stitution and bylaws adopted, to “the fellowship of song.” Between 40 and 50 men met in the directors’' room of the New Brir- ain Trust Co. last night to pass on the constitution and bylaws, which had been formulaed by a commit: of which E.

With 35 of the leading profes- sionals and amatecurs alrcady assur- ed.of their places when actual cham- pionship play begins at the Winged Foot club, Mamaroneck, N. Y.. June 27, more than 900 uther golfers sought the remaining 115 places in the qualifying round yesterday. The 36-hole qualifying test, con- ducted on courses in 19 widely scat- tered cities, brought disaster to a number of stars who have heen fix- tures in previous years. either at the national open or the natienal amateur championships, or both. | Three former national amateur kings failed to qualify—Jess Guil- |ford, Jess Sweetser and Chick Evans, and Evans once held the mational open titles as well. Evans failed in the Chicago's district aualifying round: Bweetser at New York, and Guilford at Boston. Watts Gunn, runner-up for the national amateur title in 1925, found the Oakmont course at Pittsburgh too much for him. and Mike Brady. veteran Wing- od Foot pro, who twice was runner- {up for the open championship. fail- ed dismally at New, York. Evans' companions in misfortune at Chiy cago included such well known stars as Abe Espinosa, Willic Hunter and s Novotny. The honor of returning the low- st 36 hole score went to the youth- ful Omaha amateur, John Goodman, former trans-Mississippi title-holder, who scored 140 over the Omaha Field club course. A stroke hack of him was Johnny Rogers of Denver, while Jock Hendry shot a neat 142 at Minneapolis. 1t remained. however, for “Light- horse” Harry Cooper, of Huffalo, runner-up to Tommy Armour for the open crown in 1927, to récord what was probably the finest per- | formance of the day. Playing over the Oakmont course at Pittchurgh, one of the stiffest lay-outs in the country, Cooper shot a 75-68 for 143. His 68 on his second 15 established a new course record. Willie Klein, of New York, went Cooper two better in the metropoli- tan district test at the Salisbury Fis first 18 and then added an 80 for 146 to lead the field.

Track When the track season plans were being made very little was expected of the team. Every year the track coach has to face the task of de- veloping a team which requires many stars with a few who are obliged to win enough points in strong events in order to offset the disadvantages in those in which the school is not well represented. The track team this year was bet- ter balanced than at any time in the last decade and in the field events which have always been the weak section of (he team, the squad scored heavily. Only two meets were lost, a dual meet with Suffield Pre- paratory school which was dropped by a half point and the triangular mecet which was lost by about two points. The score in the Suffield Prepara- tory meet was 39 to 38 in favor of Suffield. In the Enfield meet, New Britain won by a 79 and 2-4 to 22 and 1-3 score. Crosby high track team fell a victim to the local team by a 61 to 33 score and the Gilbert high school team of Winsted was on the short end of a 50 to 17 score. Several good marks were made during the season. On three occa- sions Sidney Lines ran the 100 yard dash in 10 and 1-5 seconds and on two other occasionss he did the time in 10 seconds flat. Al Middleton is believed to have not only broken the school’s javelin throw record but also the New England scholastic record in his throw of 168 feet in the tri- ungular league. Lines also made good in a broad jump mark in the triangular meet. Lines, Captain Grzyhowski, Pfersick, Helm, Mid- dleton, Neverdoski, Grimala and Jenkelunis were the mainstays of the team.
