LATHROP & SONS 28 Shetucket Street Norwich, Conn, Sunday afternoon at the Falls in a free hitting, lively game the All-Nor- wich team met their first defeat at the hands of the fast Fort Terry team by the score of 9 to 8. Each side col- lected thirteen hits but the local team hammered three pitchers while the sol- diers faced only Busch the entire game Counihan a ne wman with the All- Norwich team played good ball and shone with the stick, getting three hits in five times at bat. W. Calkins with twe out of four was the star performer for All-Norwich while Stew. art the Fort Terry catcher proved a veritable wonder, slamming out four safeties in four trips to the plate. The much touwted Sam Rice, lats of the Washington Americans did not appear, owing to guarantine restric- tions, but Sergeant Lawless the sold- jer manager promises to bring Rice here later in the season if Callahan will give him a game. The Soldiers made a fine appearance in their natty uniforms. The national colors were used for triamings against a grey background. Norwich staged a rally in the ninth inning.

This will be one month after the date of the last killing frost. Sweet potatoes are a heat-loving plant, and cannot withstand cool keather.

After three years of ball at the Acad- emy he went to Trinity College in Hartford where he immediately de- veloped into one of the star players. In his Junior vear at the Hartford Col- lege he was signed by St. Louis and gave up college ball to enter the ranks of the professional players. After brief trial with the Browns he was sent to Portland, returning to’ Trinity last fall after the close of the season.

ACADEMY LOSES PRACTICE GAME 18 TO 6 | Saturday’s Contest Used to Try Out Many New Players—Eddie Murray Star of Game. Saturday afternoon on the Campus, the Academy suffered the fourth straight defeat at the hands 'of a picked up team styling themselves the All-Stars. Since the Submarine Base team was unable to play owing to a misunderstanding a scrub team was ‘{ organized and Coach Sullivan improv- ed the opportunity to try out a num- ber of players. In fact only two of the regulars played their = positions lth!‘oughout the entire game. Perkins, who pitched for the All- Stars is a former N. F. A. player and took great joy in wallopping his for- mer team-mates. He pitched.brainy ball and was well supported both of- fensively and defensively. He held the school boys to eight hits and only is- sued one pass. * Counihan made his de- but as a pitcher and was hit hard and was relieved in the seventh by Fitz- gerald. Campbell and McKnight re- ceived trials behind the bat. The Academy started off by fiinding i Perkins for three runs in the first in- ning. The All-Stars, however, went into the lead in the third inning and never relinquished their advantage from that time on. Perkins let the school boys down with a run in the fourth and fifth after which he easily blanked them. A more fitting name for the visiting team would have been the One-Star. Eddie Murray on short- stop was. te great luminary o fthe game and was the chief cause of the Academy defeat. He secured three doubles and two singles out of seven times at bat. Smith the Marine who played left field also played excellent ball. especially in the batting line. It is a rather difficult matter to pitk the stars in the Academy lineup. All the men worked hard to make good in un- familiar positions with varying suec- ces Hull, McKnight and Keenan were ‘probably the most spectacular players on the team. The score: All-Stars ALL SET FOR BROWN-BURNS BCUT Burns is in Town and Brown Arrives This Morning—Rankin in Fine Fet- tle. All is set for the boxing exhibition of the Pastime Athletic club at Olym- pic hall this evening and from the re- ports of the dopsters it looks as i thi sexhibition would top all previous fights. Frankie Burns arrived in tow on Sunday and put in a day of rest. The Californian is in the pink of con- dition and if Chic Brown of the na is what he is reputed to be the bout should be a slugging fest. Br has quite some reputation to and a defeat now er the big boys would g a setback. Brown went against Benn Leonard last winter and stayed with him a short while through the kind- ness of Mr. Leonard. On .the whole PBrown is one of the best in Connecti- cut and a gocd clean fighter, with a lot of pep. The semi final also looks pretty good as Young Sullican who bo e last exhibition hed Sulliv: Guite a record and is clever althou when he fought Corbett here he did not have to exert himself.

Harvard was unable to cope with the sterling pitching of Telcott, and Yale took the first contest at Soldiers’ Field Saturday, 5 to 0. The El twirl- er allowed Harvard but two hits and upon. Yale excelled the Crimson players in both batting and fielding and deserved the victory which gives them a com- manding lead for the Harvard-Yaie- Princeton championship honors. = O’- Keefe pitched for Harvard and was found for ten hits. Talcott, besides allowing only two hits, fanned eleven mson batters and did not issue a single pass. ; Prann. utility man, playing left field for Yale did the effective hitting of the matinee knocking in two runs and scoring a third. Yale. scored her first run in the third on Gordon’s single, a passed ball and Gage's drive to left. Holmes opened the fifth with a single, advanced to third on two passed balls and scored on Prann’s single. The Elis made two runs in -the seventh on Holmes’ single, a steal and successive one base drives by Prann and Gordon. They got their final counter in the eighth, when Captain Lyman walked, stole and scored on McCouch’s error on Sawyer's fly. Athletics Win. Saturday afternoon’ on the local ball grounds the Plainfield Athletics T JUST DEFORE HE BATILE never was in danger of being scored | de- | feated the St. Paul's Episcopal church team in a 14-inning contest by a score of 4-3. The St. Paul's team secured a run in the third inning on Shaw's single and Vincent’s double. The Ath- letics scored a run in the fifth, one in the sixth and another in the seventh. In the eighth Burby, on the mound for the Athletics, weakened and the first three men walked, filling the bases. Paguin singled, scoring Shaw. Ainsworth next up hit a slow groun- der to Dougherty, who tagged third, retiring Vincent, an dthrew wild to first, Parkinson scoring, tieing the score. The Athletics got a man on either at seeond or third each extra inning, but good support by the St. Paul players retired the side in easy session. In the first of the fourteenth E. Piche and Facourse struck out and Pergeron secured his base on balls. iTe stole second and third and scored the winning run on W. Piche’s single to right field. Gerosa substituted in centerfield for Allard in the seventh. To Decide on War Time Policy. Boston, May 12.—A definite war- time policy for athletics in New Eng- land universities and colleges is to be determined upon at a conference here Friday at which Harvard, Yale and mwany other institutions have signified their intention of being represented. Whether sports shall continue to be restricted for the duration of the war and whether contests shall be on a formal or informal basis are two questions to be taken up. The action of the Harvard athletic authorities in omitting from their schedules during the past year college feotball- or baseball teams other than those of Princeton and Yale, has caused numerous protests from New England colleges and .these objections, it is understood, will be voiced at the meeting.
