e NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, Speaking of Sports By remaining inactive, Bchroeder, veteran catcher of the Stanley Works baseball team, has gone into the lead in'batting in the Industrial baseball league. He has passed both “Lefty” Haber and Steve Dudack who have fallen mightily in the last two games| played. Dick Schroeder has an even average of «500. This places him above Haber who has' dropped . down to second place with an average of .480. In| two games, Haber was up eight times and secured three hits. These | gave him 12 hits in 25 trips to the plate Dudack got only two hits out of seven trips in the last two encounters. This dropped him from second place to third with an aver- age of .472. “Starhead” Budnick of the Machine Shop is in fourth place with an average of .459. H has remained stationery because of the fact that his team hasn't played. Steve Venturo of Fafnirs has dropped down to fifth place. He is sporting | an average of .413. These are the only players in the league who are now batting above the .400 mark. Klatka remains among the Ten” although his average is rened. He is batting .395. Barnes of the Gascos, through some excel- lent work with the stick, has come ahead by leaps and bounds to land in seventh place with an average of .393.
