Speaking of Sports Nearly all of the geod in the In- dustrial was taken from it last night when Tommy Haines, catcher on the New Britain Machine team, suffered a ffacture of the ankle and had to be taken to the New ‘Britain General hespital. Haines was attempting to put out Dick Schroeder at home plate, As the Stanley Works catcher slid in, hig foot came in contact with that of Haines and Haines fell to the ground unable to arise. He was quickly carried off the field to wn automobile and sent to the hodpital whre the fracture was discoVered. Tommy was well liked both by players and fans and a pall of gloom settled over the field after the accident. The Stanley Works-New Britain Machine game was called oft after this because the Newma- tics were disrupted. 5 Charley Miller, coach and manag: or of the New Britain Machine team, will have to find & new back- stop now that Haines will be out for the remainder of the season. Almost at the same time on Dia- mond No. “Lefty” Haber, pitcher for the Fafnir team, was knocked out when Zapatka, attempting to sacrifice, bunted along thq first basc line. Haber was up like a flash and went to fleld the bail. Both he and Zapatka met head-on on the base line. Haber went down and then tried to arise. He sank back to the ground and passed out. He was re- vived after a moment or so and he gamely finished the game. Inci- dentally, he won his own ball game with a single in the last half of the ninth which drove in two rune, enough to give his team-a victory. ‘He suffered a shiner on his optic after the crash but what's a little thing like that? It probably fsn't the first one that “Lefty” has had and it probably won't be the last. The Stanley Rule & Level team s the Jonah team of the league 0 far. With a crack offensive and defensive, the team hasn’t been able to fight off a jinx and win a game. Every time the Rulers have played, they have been defeated in close and hard fought battles by meager acores. One of these days, Jimmy Clinton's crew will blast their way through to & win and then the other teams in the circuit will have to watch out, Two games are to be played ‘n the Industrial league tomorrow night. The two first place aggrega- tions, Landers and Corbins are to battle it out on Diamond No. 1 while the Stanley Rule & Level and the American Paper Goods clash on Diamond No. 2. The battle between Landers and Corbins should be the feature con- test of the entire season. REIGH COUNT 10 - RUN'LAST RACE American Horse Out to Win Royal Ascot Event Tomorrow Ascot, Eng., June 19 (M—Mid royalty and pageantry America's Reigh Count tomorrow seeks a fit- 1ing climax to a sensational racing carcer as he battles England's prides of the turf in the gold cup at Royal Ascot. Win or lose, Mrs. John D. Hertz plans to return her great four-year- old colt to the United States for the completion of his racing career, a career that had its beginning two years ago as a juvenile and reached its peak on the American continent with the winning of the 1928 thr year-old championship. Striving to win the race for which he has been pointed since winning the Kentucky Derby last season, Reigh Count will endeavor to emu- late the performance of James R. Keene's Foxhall, the only American horse that ever carried off the hon- ors in the long history of the Eng- lish turf fixture. Foxhall won the cup in 1882. Although shorn of its glory by the absence of King George and Queen Mary, Royal Ascot still retains much of the color and pageantry that marks it as ihe world’s most famous and most fashionable race course. Unlike the derby, where a half million Britons of all classes crushed their way to Epsom Downs, Royal Ascot attracts only the nobility. The enclosure at Ascot is said to be the most exclusive racing center in the world, admission being only through royal invitation. Like ull English courses it is up and down hill and is laid out in circular style for one mile and six furlongs. With America’s ieading year-old of last season the sole standard bearer for the United Btates, the race has taken on an in- ternational tinge with the best of Ireland and France's Cri D1 Guerre, Felstead, winner of the derby In 1928; Silverstead and Plantago, Car- rying the green of Ireland will be Daytown, Wavetop and Poorman, which captured the Manchester Cup. France's best bet seems to be Edouard de Rothschild’s Cacao. three- THE LIVELY BALL Beverul managers in the Pacific Coast league. are shouting over the fact that the livély ball has ruined the game.

Yesterday's hero—Babe Herman, Brooklyn fly chaser, who cracked home run over the right field wall at Brooklyn to break up the second game of & double header between the Robins and the New York Giants. The Robins won both ends of the bill, taking the first by a score of § to 7 and the second, 7 to 6. Bressler put the Robins in the lead with & homer in the last of the eighth, in the second game, but New York tied the score with a run In the ninth. Herman's blow kept the game from going into extra innings. The Chicago Cubs shifted their batting order and pounded out a 13 to 6 victory over the league leading Cardinals in Chicago. Manager Mc- Carthy moved Hornsby from the clean-up position te third in the bat. ting order and returned Hack Wil- son to the fourth place. Wilson hit two home runs. i George Kelley singled to score the winning run for the Cincinnati Reds, who beat Pittsburgh, 2 to 1, at Cin- cinnati. Red Lucas heid the Pirates to four hits while his mates totaled six off Ervin Brame. Chuck Klein’s 17th home run of the season gave the Phillies a 4 to 2 victory over the Boston Braves, at Philadelphia. After a two game losing streak the Philadelphia Athletics returned to the winning column by beating the SBenators, at Washington, 7 to 6. It was the 13th victory for Phila- delphia in 14 games witl the Sen- ators this year. New York split a double bill with the Boston Red Sox, at New York. winning the first game, 9 to 0, and losing the second, 7 to 4. Heimach allowed the Red Sox seven scattered hits in the first game but three Yankee hurlers were unable to hold Boeton in the second. : [ NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, By BRIAN BELL (Associatgd Press Sports Writer.) New York, June 19 (M—George Von Elm will be one of the three or four amateur golfers conceded a chance to win the open title at Winged Foot. Yhe fighting Detroiter, who brought his keen game east after out the country, with Salt Lake and Los Angeles as bases, finished in a tie with Walter Hagen for fourth place in the 192§ open, just two strokes out of a tie for first. He is the only amateur who has been able to win from Bobby Jones in the simon pure championship in the last five years. Von Elm wen the title in 1926, defeating the At- lantan two and one in a sensational 36 hole final. He was a finalist in 1924 and semi-finalist in 1925, loa- ing to Jones each time. In 1927 and 1928 he was eliminated in early rounds, falling before Harry Legg in the second at Minikahda and losing to Arthur Yates in the first at Brae Burn. The big Westerner thinks he has a chance to lead the big pack home ‘Winged Foot, for he turned his back on the British amdteur, where certainly he would have been a fa- vorite, to try his luck with the best the United States can musater on a golf course. Von Elm went to Great Britain to play in the open and amateur, but when the date of the British election caused the amateur to be postponed from May 27 to June 10 he sailed for homc to get in shape for the open here. He had no luck in the British open. After barely qualifying, he had two rounds of 79 and 78 and then went to 84, dropping back to 77 for his tinal test and a 72 hole total of 318, 26 strokes behind Ha- gen the pro whose score he match- ed stroke for stroke at Olympii COURSE FOR OPEN 1S A TOUGH ONE A 67 Under the Strain of Cham- pionship Play a Miracle Mamaroneck, N. Y., June 19 (A— The west course of the Winged Foot golf club where the open champion- ship ot the United States will be de- cided next week is affectionately de- scribed by club members as a “he man's course.” The “he man” in question must have been a giant. No man of light tonnage was the model for this rugged stretching yard upon yard through the forests of Westchester. Given its final grooming for the blue ribbon event of golf the course will measure more than 7,000 yards. In its normal alignment it boasts 6,697 yards, with the tape measure stretched from the front of the big tees to the front of the greens. For the supreme tests, the tee markers will be set far bar, the canny proa and star amateurs playing practive rounds dally in preparation for their baptism of sand next week ignors the markers, now resting comfort- ably near the front, and drive from the extreme rear, a sharp chip shot from the markers. Winged Foot is hard but fair [here are scores and scores of traps scattered about its rolling surface to make the unwary pay for their.care- lessness, but no bed of sand is un- fair. The perfectly hit shots will not find trouble, The greens are as near perfection | be made. as putting surfaces can The ball rolls straight and true it properly hit and in the majority ot cases next week those that should 80 in will do just that. A good rain will prove helpful. A week before the hig chance comes to the game’s best the fairways are hard and the ball gets more roll than is poesible under normal play- ing conditions. In tuning up rounds yesterday, Bobby Jones, Johnny Farrell, Mac Smith, Gene Sarazen and Charley Hall, the long driving pro from Birmingham, were getting great dis- tance from the tee. A soaking rain will make the game different, just as the wind changes tactics without warning on the course. The course has four one shottors, two one each side. Two will call for a spoon from a majority of the play- ers—for under the championship conditions, they will be more than 225 yards. The other two will be reached with a No. 4 iron. The 13th, a long iron or short wood, has a trap to the right, giving an im- pression that the Sahara desert has changed its base. The five par hoics, four of them, also equally divided between the two nines, are back breakers. Two will be more than 500 yards and two in the neighbor- hood of 460. .The long hitters who are able to send their second shots SALESMAN SAM g 60 To SLeeP Wy oa-e-oee! layout, | E GEORGE VON ELM flelds open. When the Tam O'S8hanter player is on his game he can travel with the best, and it would not be sur- prising to see him furnish a dis. tinct threat at Winged Foot. What- ever weaknesses his game may have he has plenty of courage. When the amateurs are rated in advance of the open, Bobby Jones will be given first place and a pair of Georves, Von Elm and Voigt placed just behind. in the 1928 United States on these well-trapped greens will de- serve the birdies that will be their reward. Mike Brady, veteran Winged professional. who has done the course in 67 strokes with the play at cach hole starting from the back tees, is too modest to talk about his own golf performances, but there are plenty of his friends at the club who will assure one and all that Mike's record 18 in no danger. A 67 under the strain incident to cham- pionship play would be a golfing miracle. Thege are many who in- sist that 70 is not likely to be bet. tered on a single round in the cham- plonship play. Some of the professionals who have tried out the course’s resistance suggest 296 for the 72 holes of play |as a score likely to stand the attuck | of the 153 who will seek the laurel wreath of tne game. Bobby Joncs ,agrees. “I think a count of 296 will {glve any one a feeling of security when the scores all are in,” the amu- teur champion said. At Oakmont in 1927, Tommy Armour and Harry Cooper tied for the lead at 301. Hundreds of strokes were lost on the Pittsburgh course in the traps. not quite 8o numerous us those of Winged Foot but with u more vicious bite. The traps at Oakmont were filled with heavy sand and furrowed so that a good lie in the hazards was impossible. A hard Foot difticult. There are tons upon tons of sand in the Winged Foot traps but it 18 light and furrows can not be madc in it. Heel prints will be the worst foes of the sharp shooters, traps, said Brady. “Getting in them probably will cost a stroke for even that's what they are there for. That {sand though is easy to play out of.” It is a question if some of the play- ers who grow too familiar with traps next week will agree with Mike. Winged Foot is a real golf course, no matter if the man who laid it out did wear seven league boots as he walked from the tees to the greens, up hill and down hill, and through the forests.

Y., June 19 M— Advance calculations on the Inter- collegiate Rowing Assoclation ‘e- gatta here net Monday have it that the winner of the four-mile grind will be the eight that beats Califor- nia. The Golden Bears, winners of the | championship last season and Olym- |pic title-holders as well, have im- | pressed all observers during thels ) workouts here. A fine time trial | has led the experts to belleve that Coach Kynebright has just as gond & crew this year as he had last when the Californians broke the 27-year-old record for the Pough- keepsie course. However, eastern fans are not yet ready to concede the champion- ship to the west coast again. They are banking on Young Ric len- don’s Columbia eight or Jim Wray's powerful Cornell boatload to uphold eastern prestige. Most observers content themselves with the opinion that the race again will be a dual between California and Columbia with the result a toss-up. Although beaten by Yale during the sprint season, Cornell is being given more than an outside chance to lead the fleld of nine across the finish line. There 18 no doubting that Wray has a better eight this season than any in recent Cornzll rowing history, Yesterday's stifiing heat again held the day's workouts to a m’m mum, Columbia, out .early, raced against time for a mile and made a fine showing.

Sport Kditor:— Since the present baseoall seasoa sturted we have been the target for more or less criticism, this being due | to the newly organized Holy Cross | baseball team. 1 wish to make & few points clear to the public| through your page with your kind ce- | operation. For & number of years the Fal- cons have been trying to give the fans of New Britain the best in the line of baseball and have given the beast within their mean: In fact, we spend Lundreds of dollars every year In promoting baseball and our sole reason for that is because thc members of our club are in favor of developing boys and young men to te physically fit and at the same time to give them enjoyment other than secial enjoyment. That is why | we have a physical training class for promote health and moral happiness in our Polish community. | When one reads the sporting pages | of our newspapers, he would be un- der the impression that there is| soms sort of friction between the various baseball teams in our sec. tion of the city but quite to the co trary, we are thankful that ther: a Holy Cross and Burritt team or- ganized. They are helping us to d velop our youths in the great Ameri- can game. As to the fact that attendance at our games is meagre we will just adjust ourselves to the economic uation and will not operate on such a large scale as we have in the pust. The Burritts have'been playing for & number of years and have de- veloped some good baseball talent. When the Burritts merged with our club they reserve the right to play under their original name. This they are doing at the present time. We, in turn, are just too glad to finance their worthy baseball team which we have been doing thus far. For the lagt named reason, the Holy Crosa faction is of the opinion | that both we and the Burritta are against it and that we want to tuke the baseball grounds from them on | alternating 8undays. The Burritts as well as the Holy Cross are vory proud to play in their vicinity of residence. Yet it seems, in my opinion, .hat the Holy Cross, through politics and | the influencs of the Holy Cross | church, has gained a monopoly on the Washington school grounds which we know that the average in- telligent citizen would strongly op- pose. | ‘We do not oppose any aporunc‘ venture but it certainly hurts our | democratic pride to see a newly or- | ganized team such as the Holy Cross 80 strungly ‘avored over the Burritts who have been organized for a num- ber of vears.
