Speaking of Sports Seven teams were represented last evening at the first basketball meet- ing of the Industrial council held at the Y. M. C. A. The teams are the Gascos, P. & F. Corbin, Corbin Screw, Russell & Erwin, Fafnir Bearing, Stanley Works and Stanley Rule & Level. Landers, New Britain Machine and Corbin_Cabinet Lock were not rep- resented but efforts will be made to have them -enter the league this séason again. Games will be played as they were last year, at the Tabs' hall. Two contests will be staged each wegk on Tuesdays and Fridays. The open- ing of the league season will take place on November 18. No schedule has yet been made out but will be taken care of as soon as definite en- tries have been decided. Charlie Kredar, captain of the Bokol baseball team, revealed at the City league banquet last night why he’was unable to get started after a fiy ball in the second game of the series with the P. & F. Corbin tram for the championship of the city. In the preceding inning while the Sokols were at bat, he said that Commissioner James Naughton be- came 50 excited that he jumped on one of Kredar's corns. This disabled him somewhat so that when the fly was hit into left field, he was un- able to get started on time and couldn’t make any speed. Manager Johnny Cabay made a pretty speech which was a prepared document but he got stuck on the second last line. Johnny is much more voluble on the bench directing his players. Last Sunday at the annual outing of Lexington lodge, I. O. O. F., one of the features was a baseball game between the married men and the single men. The married men won by the score of 23 to 2. The single boys are not at all satisfied that they were in proper condition last Sunday so another game with an appropriate stake has been planned. This will take place next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at Willow Brook park. The married men are practicing up this week for’the clash while the single men have strengthened for the game. The los- ing team will be hosts to the win- ners at a dinner. Watch the crowds turn out for this one. With Stamford sending 150 root- ers to this city tomorrow afternoon, the largest crowd of the season will probably turn out for the game be- tween Stamford and the P. & F. Corbin team for the state industrial championship. The contest will start at 3:30 o'cloek. GARDINALS HAVE STRONG INFIELD Conceded Slight Advantage Over| Athletic Defense Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 26 (A— The St. Louis Cardinals, assuming they will carry the National League banner, into the world's series next week, for the third time in five Vears, figure to have a distinct in- field advantage over the Athletics offensively and probably defensively 1f major value is placed on the key. stone combination. Frankie Frisch, no Youngster but still the same old Fordham Flash and one of the ereatest of all “money players” is the standout inficlder on either club. The Cardinals second sacker excels at bat, in the field and on the bases. With Charley Gelbert, his young working partner at short- stop, Frisch forms a defensive com- bination that compares favorably with the Jackson-Critz pair of the Giants' remarkable infield. This will be Frisch’s sixth series. Bishop and Boley, the A's veteran keyastone pair, have always suffered by comparison in Philadelphia with the famous old combination of Col- lins and Barry, remembered as paragons among infielders. Boley and Bishop are a workmanlike pair, defensively, although they do not present the offensive threat of Frisch and Gelbert, both slugge Bishop is a good lead-off man and has developed some propensities as 2 home run hitter this year under the influence of Cochrane, Simmons and Foxx. % The A’s may claim an advantage among first basemen, with Jimmy Foxx outhitting Jim Bottomley by about 30 points, but the Cardinal lefthander can at least hold his own on the defense, Neither measures up to the superlative standard set this year among the first sackers by Rill Terry of the Giants, but both have emerged from hitting slumps in the latter part of the season. Jimmy Dykes, if he reproduced his 1929 form in the coming battle, would be considered superior to Jarl (Sparky) Adams, his Cardinal Jival, but talkative Jimmy has not had an especially good vear. Last season he probably was the most valuable man on the A’s, all things considered, for he is a man of all infield work. Adame, a Pirate cast-off, has been one of the big factors in the sensa- tional pennant rush of the Cardinals playing a bang-up game in the field, besides hitting harder than any year since he was a regular ‘with the Cubs. If he needs a relie?, the Cards have Handy Andy High whose pinch-hitting had a lot to do with knocking Brooklyn out of the race. The Athletics have two voung- sters, Dib Williams and Eric Me- Nair, for emergency duty as well as Tddie Collins, the veteran who is entering his eighth world's series. longer a NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1930.

TEAMS MEET T6DAY_ | Louisville Coionels and Rochester | Redwi to Resume Little World Series. Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 26 (P— TILE SPECTER Bobby Working Under the Great- est Handicap of Time By 0. B. KEELER | Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 26 (®— | It is a curious thing to write, but i is none the less a true one, that of the Four Horsemen of the Golfing Apocalypse who gallop in the semi- final round over the east course of the Merion Cricket club, one is un named on the big scoreboard. And he is the one who rides behind Bob- by Jones. Bobby went out this morning to play Jess Sweetser, and that is just another golf match. )by has played Jess before. He | played him at Brookline, in 1922, and there took the finest licking that Bobby Jones ever took in an ! amateur championship. Bobby plays Jess today and two kids, Gene Ho- mans and Charlie Scaver, meet in the top bracket. The lineup of the | Four Horsmen does not ostensibly include the ghostly demon that rides on the tail of Bobby Jones, as he goes out in the semi-final round. No one seems to realize that he is there—least of all Bobby himself. 1 talked with Bobby after his morning round with Fay Coleman yesterday. Bobby was 2.up but by no means happy. “I'm playing rotten,” said Bobby ungrammatically, “and I don't know what to do about it.” I knew | why it was, but not what to do about it. I said: “Bobby, no man can help you now, I can't tell you anything that will help vou, go out there and shoot golf and pray for a break | Well, that is all about it. s a curious story. The big opponent of Bobby Jones is not one of the three other fine competitors left in the field, its a #iant, pale horseman, riding behind him, whenever he makes a shot. It is the specter of the fourth championship, on his trail. It is the most tremendous hazard that ever dogged a potential world champign of all time, as Bobby goes out’to play for the title that entrenches him forever within the “impregnable quadrilateral” of | golf. Bobby's opponents are not the | gallant Sweetser—the bold young- | sters, Homans and Seaver, he can | take them in his stride, as he has | taken in his stride the British ama- | teur, the British open, and the United States open, far tougher competitions as the plot now stands.
