Two were originally scheduled vlayed Wednesday night but because of the shut-down at Stanley Works. the battle between this team and Fafnirs has been postponed. A date on which it will be played has not yet been set. Tomorrow night, Stanle meet P. & I. Corbin at 5 at Walnut Hill park. Wednesday night, the American Paper Goods team will play Landers. Rule will 0 o'clock All games in the Industrial Soft Ball league were called off last Fri- day night because of the rain. Two more of them, onc scheduled for to- morrow night, and the other for Fri- day are postponed. These are be- tween Lanlers Trade and Stanley Works and between Landers Trade and R. & E. Yesterday was a horrible one for local teams in general. Where on the week-end previous, the teams had almost all scored victories, the tables were reversed yesterday and all of them, with only few excep- lions, were defeated. A peculiar situation has been caused in the City league through the defeat of the Pirates and Bur- ritts last Saturday. Three teams are now tied for first place. The West Ends, by beating the Burritts, stepped into a deadlock with the Burritts and Pirates for the lead. It took 13 innings Saturday for the Y. M. C. A, to defeat the Se- quins in the City Junior league. This wvas a weird game all around. The West Ends waited Saturday antil the ninth innings before they itarted but when they did start, aothing could stop them. That's what makes baseball, uncertainty of the thing. The card of fights Bristol last Saturday called off because of the small crowd in attendance. There were, if one counts carelessly, about 100 customers on hand. The cold weather and’the threatening skies probahly kept a good many of them away. Matchmaker Charles Wagner is undecided on what night he will stage the card. The same bouts, if possible, will be carded the next time. the scheduled night were in New Britain fans were not very much interested in the Clinch-Oliver bout. A bus, charter- ed to take the fans to Bristol and hack, carried four people, probably five, SACRED HEARTS BEAT HARTFORD Take 8 to 8 Decision From St. Gyril Club of Capital City Out of the maze of defeats hand- ed the local teams over the week- end, the Sacred Heart club came through with a victory over the St. Cyril team of Hartford, the score being 8 to 3. The visitors started off with a bang in the first inning when they scored two runs on a base on balls, an error and three hit The Sacred Hearts also started in the first when Chodukiewicz hit a double and romped all around the bases on poor playing. The home team added siX more runs in the third when, after the first two men were retired, Chodukiewicz started a rally with a double and the next four men blasted the opposing pitcher off the mound. Biernot rolieved Patryka in the third and held the locals to one hit. Reed of the Sacred Hearts pitch- ed a wonderful game. He allowed only six hits. One of these was a home run, but he was never in dan- ger. The team as a whole, worked perfectly with Kraszewski and Osip- owicz starring in the field.

S. open for the third time in his brilliant golfing career, Robert T. Jones, Jr, of Atlantu. shot two of the finest rounds he ever put togethcr in the big event, to defeat Al Espinosa yesterday in |the play-oft at Winged Fool and thereby clinched the question of who is the greatest golfer in the world. Going out in the morning in 37. one over par, Bobby came home in 5 to give him a card of 72 which is perfect golf at the difficult Ma- | maronack course. | The match might just as well |have proceeded no farther as Jone: Tizd established a lead of 12 strokes over Espinosa and no mortal golfer i could catch him in 18 more holes. After lunch, which consisted of | toast and tea for the great amateur, he added 11 more strokes to his rec- lord breaking lead, by equalling his first day's round of 69. Saturday Al pinosa won $1,000 in prize money by playing a tie with Robhy Jones and Sunday morn- |ing he lost all chance of being crowned the champion golfer of America. An ecight at the 12th hole Satur- day, which he duplicated Sunday morning in the play-off, cost Es- pinosa the championship and put |the skids under him, yesterday. Saturday he recovered from the disaster but yesterday he was slid- ing down to defeat long before he shot from the 12th tee toward the fatal hole. While a pushed ball started his trouble the first time, it was a hooked ball out of bound which cost him a stroke and d tance and finished what little hop: he had of heating the golfer most feared hy the pros. Twelve a Hoodoo The number 12 will stand out in Espinosa’s mind as the hoodoo of the 1929 open. The his jinx and the Chicago pro was of the first round of the play-off. Two eights by a man who had played the first two rounds, two under par, was a sad spectacle. The second one, coming when the ama teur was working miracles with his clubs, made a farce out of what started out to be the greatest golf drama of the season. It was a sad fate that gave Espinosa match against Jones' 72-69 The sad, sad story of Espino: flop does not start with the firs bad eight at the 12th hole. The real pathos of the Castillian's fall from golfing grace started at the 11th green. Thare his puft for a birdie three rimmed the cup but stopped dead {o the hole. It was the sort of putt {o tap in without fuss or delay. But Espinosa departed from his custom in such cases and fussed around. The result was that he missed it and took a five. Right there he lost the crown most coveted by pro and amateur. That 18 inches of mi: cost the swarthy Spaniard an es! mated $50,000, for the open is said to be worth that to any professional who wins it. At the time know the ct. Espinosa did value of that putt, but when he sliced from into the rough and his ball came to rest on the side of a trap, his judg- ment was not cool. He spoon to play a bad pulled the shot dircctly across the | fairway and into another bunker. | 1'rom there e crossed the near edge of the green into another trap. Here he took two to get out and he consumed three more strokes with putts. Trouble on ¥ Jones' only serious trouble was on the first hole where he mussed up his approach, took four to get on the green and required two putts for a & On the 16th hole he suffered when he hooked in the cost him two strokes for Otherwise he was threes and for the second nine. One Dramatic Moment There was only one dramatic moment for Jones in the round tha: | gave him the tie with Espinosa, his |1ast putt on the 36th hole Saturday His rival had finished and needed only a 78 to win. But fate willed that the man who lost the open last year after tying with a putt on the final hole, must sink a putt of nine feet for another oppor- tunity to win America’s golf classic. All the settings appropriate to the dramatic moment surrounded the home green. Ten thousand people banked the stage, many of whom had been there all the afternoon, hoping for just such a finish. a six. fours 1y GOLF OVER WINGED FOOT Equals His First Day’s Round of 69.in Playoff Against; Espinosa — ‘Establishes a Lead of 12 Strokes in Morning Round—Opponent Duplicates an Eight at | Tells Just How the Drama of Play Unfolded. 12th hole was | 12 strokes behind Jones at the end | 84-80 to | not | just the same it unnerved him.

There was no further scor- ing on the part of the winnere until the ninth when three more tallies crossed the plate. The Sequins scored counter in the eighth showed their only real offensive of the game. Three singles accounted for the tally.
