ll Speaking of Sports The Burritts and the Sacred Hearts will meet in another city series game at Willow Brook park next Sunday, according to an an- nouncement by Manager Stanley Burnick of the Burritt team. The three-cornered playoff is in a dead- lock at the present time with each team having scored one victory. We venture a suggestion to the managers of the local semi-pro base- ball teams that next season, right at the outset, they form a local league ‘of semi-pro teams, draw up a sched- ule that will run to about the first of August and «have that as an elimination round of play of teams that do not win the right to play in @ final series. Then, when the time comes for playing off a series for the cham- pionship of the city, the three lead- ing teams or the two leading teams, could hook up in a playoff to decide the city title. This would eliminate a lot of use- less arguments, it would give the fans plenty of baseball during the summer months and would increase the interest of the sporting public in general in the semi-pro game. The wise team pilots will be those who will be seeking a way to revive in- terest in local baseball, other than the Industrial and City leagues. Among the spectators at the Cor- bin-Sokols game at Walnut Hill park last evening were a number of the members of the Stanley Rule and Level team in the Industrial league. They have been anxious to meet the Corbin team again before the season | comes to a close. Jimmy Murphy, manager of the team, stated that the Corbin team wouldn't play his crew again. “We'd like to take on both the Corbin outfit and the Sokols. We'd play both of them in one night. We'd play the Corbin team first, just for a work- out and then meet the Sokols in a real game for an header. We would like to play for a little side bet.” That's the way Mur- phe teels about it. We will be anxious to find out just what Mangger Joe Jackson of the league champions has to say to‘this. The Corbin team will celebrate the winning of the Industrial league pen- nant Friday night in the club house. A real celebratiop is in order but the team players will be cautioned that | the second game of the series with th> Sokols will be on the program the next day. Among the most unjucky athletes in this city can surely be counted Jbe Jasper. Joe isn't a prize fight- er, he is a baseball and basketball player: He has received a series of Anjuries recently and all of = them “haye been cuts on his face. He will 00k, like a prize fighter before he ‘through. Only a short time ago, he was in &n automobile accident and received cuts that required about 17 stitches to close. In last night's game, he received 2 painful cut across the bridge of his nose and this will leave another scar. He clashed with Marcinczyk at the plate in the fourth inning. Marcinczyk received the worse injury of the two. He suftered a bad gash on the upper eyelid on his left eye. He was unable to play 2gain and he looked like a wounded | veteran from the fields of Verdun a5 he was led off the field following the ‘ministrations of Doctor David Waskowitz. It is very doubtful whether he will be back in the lineup for Satur- day's game. Jasper was able to return to the game after having his rose patched up. A number of other players would have been ready to go home. Joe always comes back for more. This incident, unavoidable in the extreme, put a damper on the in- terest in the game for a time. Both players after the clash, came up with their faces bleeding and they presented a gory sight. Nothing gerious resulted, however. Neither team showed what we would consider a decided edge over the ‘other.. The Corbin team might have displayed a mite smarter base- ball, especially on the basepaths, but the Sokols slipped up only a few times. / | Both teams will meet again on | Baturday afternoon at 3 o'clock and | the decision as to which is the bet- ter team, may probably be reached at that time. | | Games Yesterday Bridgeport 5, Springfield 3 Albany 6, Allentown 0. | On the Sokols' bench sat Com- | missioner James J.
