Speaking of Sports Saturday’s game between the Holy Cress and Burritt teams in the City laague which was carded as the . blue banner game of the season, was a dud after the Burritts had scored seven runs in the first in. ning. After this initial session, the contest developed into a beautiful Battle but the harm had been done. The Holy Cross team showed one thing—that was that it is too green yeot to stand a hot pace under fire. The team, as a whole, is a fairly goed outfit, but when things go wreng, all the players on the team, with very few exceptions, are sail- ing in the clouds. The Seneca-West Ends game at ¢ @'clock held little to interest the @pectators. The contest developed intd a farce with the weirdest kind of baseball imaginable being played. The Pirates took a fall out of the Bapless Cardinals in the game play- ed on Diamond No. 3. Tonight at 6:15 e'clock, the Phan- Soms and Holy Crees Juniers will meet in a Junior City Lea same. ‘The contest will be staged at Wal aut Hill park, Two good games are acheduled tomorrow night at 5:30 e'clock im the Industrial Baseball League. The feature contest of the night will Pring the Stanley Works and P. & F. Corbin teams together on Dia. mend No. 2. The Stanley Rule and New Britain Machine teams will méet on Diamond No. 1. Fafnirs and Landers battle it out Thursday night at 5:30 o'clock on Diamond No. 1, The ground rules adopted by the taamy playing on Diamond No. 2 are sometimes wpird. Over the high fence is a home run and over the low one is a double. The rule should eall for a homer over both fences nd iwo bases when the hall rolls ver the tennis courts which are mot protected by barriers. ‘The ball should be in play off the wire screens in center field with the runner getting all that he can get, Jh the bushes should go for two bases. A ball in right field that #oes into the tree or touches any part of it, whether caught or not, sheuld go for two bases and any other kind of a hit that doesn't touch the tree should go for all that the runner can get. This would simplify the work of tBe umpires and would speed up the game. At the same time, it weuld impreve the hiting of some ©of the players. Several of the teams @lready have adopted these rules and they have worked out success. fully. ATHLETICS TAKE FINAL IN SERIES 4 Continued from preceding page.)

WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD ®y_the Usited Press. Yesterday's hero—Hank DeBerry, veteran Brooklyn catcher whose sixth hit of the game gave the Robins & 9 to 8 victory over the New Yerk Giants in the 14th inning. De- Berry's hit scored Bressler with the winning run. Before a crowd of 48,000 at Wrig- | ley field the Pittsburgh Pirates tightened their hold on first place in the National league by defeating the Chicage Cubs for the third straight time, 8 te 7. KEthan: Allen’s home run tied the 8cere in the seventh inning and George Kelley's triple sending two runs in the eighth gave Cincinnati 4 to 2 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Boston Braves beat the Phil- lies twice, 5 to 1 and 7 te 5. Phil Collins, Phillies catcher, hit a home Tua with the bases filled in the sec- ond game. The Philadelphia Athletics in- creased their lead in the American league to § 1-2 games by taking the final game of the “crucial series” from the New York Yankees, 7 to 4. The Athletics won three of the five games. Gehrig hit his 20th home run of the season. Sam Gray won his 11th game of the season and the St. Louis Browns beat the Chicago White Sox ¢ to 5. and went into a tie with the Yankees for second place. Detroit beat Cleveland, § to 7, scoring the winning run in the eighth after the Indians had tied the count with a four run rally in the seventh. Myles Thomas, Yankee castoff. held the Boston Red Sox to four hits and Washington won its feurth straight game. _NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JUNE 24, 19%. New York, June 2¢ UP—George Voight, whose accuracy is expected to offset his probable lack of dis- tance on the long Winged Foot course is one of the few among the 18 amateurs entered in the open goif championship who is conceded to have a chance to win the blue rib- ben event. Voight was the medalist in the last amateur championship at Brae Burn with a brilliant 36-hole score of 143. He fell in match pl fore Phil Perkins, the British ama- teur champion, 6 and ¢ at 36 holes. In the 1927 amateur Voight failed te qualify under distressing circum- stances for the straight hitter. He became flustered when he was in- formed at a short hole that his ball from the tee had been struck by that of his playing companion. In doubt as to what to do Voight play- €d thé ball from where it was when he found it, and again from a spot indicated by a spectator as its orig- Frem that point spotty and he took too many strukes to get in the match play competition. The north and south amateur, played annually at Pinehurst, N. C. has grown to be a Voight fixture and last year, to the chagrin of some of the best professionals in the counmtry, he cApturéd the Long Island open, a title held by some of the game's greatest stars. GEORGE VOIGHT Voight. now a resident of New York, is a product of Washingten golf and some of his gréatest feats of golfing magic were performed aleng the banks of the Potomac. The slim, dark player likes medal play better than match competition. The open, as usual, will be on a strictly medal play basis. TED HART’'S TEAM TAKES SHUTTLE MEADOW TOURNEY Biggest Entry List of Season Plays in Four Ball, Best Ball Event on Saturday—Total of 48 Golfers Tee Off—Cliff Parker’s Foursome Takes Second Place —Course Is Fast and Plenty of Low Scores are Be- ing Made—State Tournament Play This Week. (By JIGGER) With perfect weather conditions prevailing, 48 golfers entered the four-ball, best-ball tournament at Shuttle Meadow Saturday. It was the biggest entry of the season and seme fine golf was shot over thé week-end, Ted Hart, who is burning up the already scorched ceurse, captained & team consisting of Stan. Hart, *Keck” Parker and Ed. Twichell. ‘This outfit breught in a best ball score of 65, six under par, and with ene-quarter of the foursome's ag- gregate handicap of 12, netted it 53 which took first prize. Ted played & 74, shooting the lower in 35. Park- er put together two 398, s0 the out. At was “hot.” Not to be outdone by his cousin, Clif Parker led a foursome made up of Merrick Helyar, Curtis Bootl, and L. H. Stevens into second place with 73-18-53 and shot a 76 himsel?. George Dodd, who played the best game of his career, a mém- ber of a foursome that took third place. Clayten Parker also of this crowd, is not letting all the golfing honors go to the younger members of his family and i mow breaking 90 himself. Thursday he whaled out & 240 yard drive and shot §8. Ern- est Smith shot a 78 Sunday. The fast condition of the course offers a grand epportunity for duf- fers to go way under their best game, for average players to break 80 and for the crack golfers to set a new amateur record for the course. When H. C. Lagerblade played a 65 at Shuttle Meadow, the course was in about the same conli- tion it is today. In the last two weeks drives have reached the second, fourth and 14th greens, all four par holes. It is get- ting common for secend shots to roil up on the five par 18th and C. W. Davis scored an eagle three there one day last week. Even Tom Crowe, handball vet- eran, is taking advantage of condi- tions to knock off a few pars on every round. Thursday he negoti- ated the 548 yard third hole in par five. I.ess than a year at the au- cient and royal game, Tom has come atong so fast that he can )old up his end in average company. And how he loves a jigger. He calls it “sweetheart.” Enter State Tourney Bill Booth, Clarence and Dave Manning, Bill Sweeney and How- ard Humphrey have put in their en- triés for the state tournament, which will be played off Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. Eail Higbee and Clarence Barnes, of the tournament committee of the local club, will attend the U. 8. open which starts Thursday at Winged Foot. ANOTHER COOMBS Raymond Coombs, nephew of the famous Jack Coombs of the old Athletics, has been a star athlete for the Exeter School for Beys ani Connie Mack is said to have his eye on him. ST. MATTS WIN Grammit Not Only Pitches a Five |1 5. Hit Game, But He Has a Perfect Day in Hitting. Gramic not only shut out the Wil- lingford Cubs with five hits when the 8t. Matt Black 8ox of this city scored a 5-0 victory over that team in Wallingford yesterday afternoon, but he had a perfect day at bat as well and drove in four of his team's five runs with his three singles. It was his game from every angle. He fanned nine men and stood the Cubs on their heads from start to finish, while he and his mates drove Wac- tucki from the box and continued their hitting against lves for a total of 12 safe blows. A Seifels also had & big day with the bat. The sum- mary. WALLINGFORD CUBS AB R 0 o 9 Barnes, 1b Wooding, Wactuski, Ives, p lecsccsze Snete iy S @ S G ke h o> a cumuex Neuman, Seifels, cf .

West Ends 16; Senecas 11 Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors was a funeral in comparison with the exhibition staged by the West Ends and the Senecas at ¢ o'clock on Diamond No. 1. Of all the things that don’t happen in a reg- ular baseball game, only about two failed to be pulled off in this farce The final score was 16 to 11 in favor of the champions of last year but that fails by a long shot to tell the story. A total of 29 hits were banged out, the West Ends getting 13 and the losers 13. Almost all of the batters fattened their average at the expense of the opposing pitchers but the inflielders and outfielders might have been home fanning themselves on their front porches for all the support they accorded the twirlers. One team was as bad as the other. The Senecas started in the second The West Ends came back in the thud and got six. Back came the Sene- cas and they scored five to make the count 8 to 6. The West Ends retaliated with another in the fourth but the Senecas failed to score again until the sixth, The West Ends scored again in the fifth and in the sixth both teams went wild with the West Ends scoring seven runs, The 8enecas scored one in the The West Ends got their last run in the sevenih. Every player seemed to be affect- cd very much by the intense heat. Cormier startea pitching for the West Ends but he trotted out to right fleld in the third and George Campbell finished the game. Joe Potts, slow balled the West Ends unti] the seventh when Hamlin re- lieved him. There were doubles, triples and home runs all during the game, most of the hits being made | through the infield. Among the outstanding plays pull- ed during the game was the theft of second base by Witham while Campbell was holding the ball in the pitcher's box and a fly ball, which, contrary to all expectations, Frankie | Basil caught in right field. | The Summary: WEST AB = - o lhcurnmuncey ot F.

C. despite the | { fact that his team was beaten 13 to | 7 in a game played at the Washing- ton school grounds. ‘ “Starhead” went to the plate four | times and slammed out two triples. | a double and a home run and scored two runs. In the fleld he had !hrflp; put outs and eight assists and did | not make an error. A one-handed | stop he made on a drive off Jim | O’Brien’s bat in the eighth robbed the latter of a hit and was the fea- ture play of the came. | The Seneca team proved too strong for the Holy Cross outfit and | after the first few innings the losers wilted under the fast pace and the| more experienced victors had things their own way. The game was marked by the! hard hitting of each team. Due to! |the hard condition of the ground in | |left field several hits went for more | bases than they would have under | ordinary conditions. When a drive went into left fleld unless it was di- rectly it the flelder it was good for | at least a double as the ball would travel along the ground much fast- | er than the fielders could run. | The Senecas scored the first run of the game in the second inning on | a double by Maguda, Krause's sacri- | fice fly and a single by Casey. In the last half of the frame the losers scored three times on St. Budnick's | home run, a single by J. Budnick | and errors by Krause and Kenure. | In their half of the third the winners tied the score when Me- | Kierney slammed a homer after | Venturo had singled. In the next| frame they went into the lead when | Casey connected for a four base clout. The Holy Cross team came back in its half of this inning with three more runs, and singles by Salak, J. Budnick and Dalkowski. The winners sewed the game u in the following inning when they scored four times on a pass, two | triples and a double. They added five more in the following inning when | they drove Salak out of the box. | Zembko finished the game and kept | the Senccas scoreless from then on. | The summary: | SENACA A C. | B L [ 2 [-) Venturo, 3b O'B: 1t McKerney, Magauda Krause, Lawson, s [ o 0l 1) i 0 e ) b 0 Witham, 5 Westergren, cf Totals ~EGAD, ALVIN M'LAD, .

Taftville . scored again in the fourth and Kensington evened the count in the fifth. The fifth found Taftville jumping to the front with a three run léad only to be overtaken by Kensington in the seventh. Taftville scored the winning run in their half of the seventh and | although Kensington had men on bases in both the eighth and ninth inning they could not tie the score. The hitting of Mikan and Barry fea tured for Kensington, with Crame furnishing the fans with a running one hand catch of a foul fly, which he caught while running up a large | stone beside first base. For Taftville, hitting of Eccleston. l.amory and Finn featured, while the work of Tombari at short was of the sensa- tional variety.
