Any 17 or 18 year old team in the city wishing to ac- cept their challenge may do so by phoning 18412 LETIN, (7] OF GEORGE TOWN T0 OPPOSE CANAVAN Fang -are anticipaing a real base-. ball battle ‘at the Fairgrounds Sun- day when the fast Alhambra team of ‘Worcester meets the local Kacey team for the third time this season. The Alhambra club has beaten the local team twice this season, once on the home grounds and once at Worceser. Canavan beat the local team here by an 8 to 1 score and at Worcester Bill Horan, Holy Cross pitching ace, beat the local team 2 to 1, due largely to an error in the ninth’ inning. Canavan will pitch for Alhambra on Sunday but will be opposed by a fast a battery as there outside the big tent. This battery is Reynolds and Kenyon, the undefeated Georgetown battery that turned in 17 straight wins for the Washington umiversity. Both members of this battery have been offered contracts with big league teams, Reynolds being offered a Gi- ant contract and Kenyon an Ameri- can league contract. During the past season-this-battery was rated as the best in America. Reynolds since leav- ing college has pitched in 17 games and has won 16 making his record stand at 33 won and one,lost out of 34 games. Kenyon is a snappy catcher with a good baseball head, and, not only that, he is a good sticker hav- ing led his team wih an average of 1420 for the season, most of his hits going for extra bases. With this bat- tery stacked up agains it looks as though the Alhambra team would have hard sledding here Sunday. Not only will -the Norwich Kaceys have a strong battery but the infield looks good with Hunifield. who has been signed with Connie Mack, cov- ering the keystone sack, Babe Adams, on first, Bobba Conley on short and Sank on third. Sank has struck his stride and is poling the old apple to all corners of the orchard for extra pillows. Jimmy Blagriff in left is going good and Eddie McKay, has been showing his old college form. Jack Clabby the only other local boy outside of Ed- die McKay is hitting a fast pace both afield and at bat. The Alhambra club has been streng- thened by the acquisition of Doherty, last season's Holy Cross first string sacker. Doherty is a finished product in the field and a reliable man at bat. Halloran is another Holy Cross man who is now playing right field for the Alhambra club. With the ad- dition of these two college players the Alhambra team comes here stronger than in the first game and as the local team is much stronger than at that time'it looks as hough the fans would get a run for their money. The lineups: Kay Alhambra Hunifisld, 2b. Keegan, cf Blagriff, if Halloran, rf McKay, cf Riopel. 3b Kenyon, ¢ Commerford, If Sank, 3b Doherty, 1b Connelly, =8 Phoenix, 2b Clabby, rf Hartnet, ss Adams, 1b Lavigne, ¢ Reynolds, p Canavan, p ‘The umpires will be Tommy Cor- coran at the plate and Zemke on the bases.

The victory, which was New York's third in the four-game series, gave the Yankees a half game lead over the Browns, who had held the league leadership since June 1.

Sherman, crack sculler of the West Side Boat Club, of Buffalo, cap- tured the junior singles; the four oar- ed shell of the same club finished first_in the 140 pound class, while the Detroit Boat club's eight won four rival Canadian boats in the 140-pound class. Sherman, in winning the jjunior sin- gles defeated three Canadians, Karl Switzer, of the Lachine Rowing club, F. R. Foll of St. Catherine’s and D. E. Lewis of the Argonuts. In last place most of the distance, Sherman saged 2 ‘spectacular firish, overtak- ing all three rivals and leading Swit- zer by six seconds. His ime was 10:18 for the mile and a half. The Buffalo four oared shell finish- ed five lengths ahead of Ottawa, with boats of the Brockvilfe Rowing club and the Don Rowing club third and fourth. The time was 8:48. Four American scullers followed J. Ingham of the Dons, winner in the 140 pound singles over the Henley dis- tance. They finished as follows: J. P. Hunn, Philadelphia second; Wil liam Paynes, New York, third; W. H. Gridiey, ‘Detrolt, fourth; H. F. Nicholson, Niagara Falls N. Y., fifth. Haynes finished fourth in the 130 pound singles later over a mile and a half. The winner was R. J. Clench, of St. Catharine's and hte time 10:22 2-5. Hunn of Philadelphia, withdrew from this event. SWAN-EE COLTS WIN FROM THE OLD CORNERS The Swan-ee Colts staged a ninth inning rally at the Fairgrounds Fri- day evening and trimmed the Old Corner team 9 to 4. The game was close until the ninth when Jack Har- rington who had pitched a fine game up to then weakened and five runs were scored on_errors. Jack pitched fine ball from the first but as it be- came darker the umpires eyes became weak and Jack's' benders were miss- ed completely. Ferguson pitching for the Swan-ees was invincible and re- ceived good support. The feature of the game was the base stealing of Harrington. Jack stole second with the bases full. Oh, how the crowd cheered him. Matt Min- &0 furnished the sensation batting features of the game coming up in the fourth inning with three men on| bases and then fanning. The attend- ance was rather small. Among the no- tables present was John Dennis, and Constable Kelly with his black jack and gun to preserve the law and order and keep the kids off the roof of the grandstand. OLLINGER, FLORIDA PITCHER BOUGHT BY DODGERS St Petersburg, Fla, July 28— Charles Ollinger, pitcher of the Flori- da: State league holding g record of thirty innings without a run being scored against_him, has been sold to the Brooklyn Nationals and will re- port about August 21, Ollinger, a for- mer pitcher on the -Auburn college team, was the collegiate all-southern pitching selection for two vears TURMS DOWN OFFER FROM THE GIANTS New York, July 28—Announcement is made by the athletic management of New York University that Joe Flynn, the University’s sensational shortstop, will not play with the Gi- an(s next year as has been reported but will finish his college career. This will give his one year more as the head of the Hall of Fame team, he having been re-elected captain for his senior year. Flynn's record last spring easily established him as the Babe Ruth of college baseball, he having made fourteen home runs, an average of one for each game played. Out of fifty-four times at bat he hit safe- ly thirty-three tim giving him a batting average of 515, a figure which 1o other college player even approach- ed. Flynn's fielding average for the season was 919.

The officers of the Garfield Park Roque Club are William M. Cowley, president; W. C. Smith, secretary. AM. WOOLEN TEAM PROVED TOO STRONG FOR OFFICE TEAM “The old story, that youth must be served,” was once more proven when the Mill Team took the honors from the Office Team by a score of 7 to 0, Thursday night. The battery for both sides deserves a lot of credit. Bennett the star office twirler, had a hard time to place the ball so Dean could be kept from running back to the car line, it was remarked from the bleachers that Benneett had a pret- ty ball suit. Dean is reported to have carried a bale of rags to use as a protector but some of the fans came to the conclusion that it was O'Brien’s shirt. Stelzner the first baseman seem- \ract, but Flynn decided he would fin- ish his college career before making up his mind whether he wanted to enter professional baseball. LEONARD GETS $121,755 FOR HIS SHARE OF RECEIPTS New York, July 28—Benny Leonard received $121,755 for defending his 755 lightweight title last night in Jersey, City, N. J.,, and Lew Tendler, Phila- delphia challenger, received $62,500 according to official figures made public_tonight by Promoter Tex Ric- kard. The fighters received 62 1-2 per cent of the receipts after the deduc- tion of taxes. Leonard's share was 42 1-2 and Tendler's 20 per cent. Ric- kard’s profit was placed at $90,683. The paid attendance was announced as 43,355 and the gross receipts $327,- 565. Including complimentaries and working tickets the crowd numbered 46,016, The figures for the Leonard-Tend- ler bout have been exceeded but twice in ring history. The gate receipts for the Dempsey-Carpentier contest a year ago were $1,623,380 and the Dempsey-Willard match in Toledo in 1919 drew $452,522. WILLIMANTIC PLAYS AT STATE HOSPITAL TODAY The Riverview Club of the Norwich State Hospital will meet the fast tray- eling American Thread Co., team of Willimantic this (Saturday) after- noon on the Hospital grounds. The American Thread team is now leading the Eastern Conn. League and the game should be interesting from the start. The Hospital nine has now won 12 straight games and have pro- ven their batting strength by trounc- ing the fast Sub-Base teim twice within two weeks. Lefty Dowd will take the mound for the Riverview Club with “Pepper” Reddy on the receiving end. Mathew- son or Hamel will twirl for the Thread Co. Wednesday the Riverview Club will play at Eastern Point and Saturday, August _5th, the fast nine from the Conn. State Hospital at Middletown will come to Norwich to revenge their 5-0 defeat of last Wednesday.

AMERICAN COLLEGE TEAM LEADS IN TENNIS TOURNEY East Bourne, England, July 28—The college team comprising players from Yale and Harvard led by two matches to one in the play in the tournament teday against Oxford-Cambridge. The program of the tournament calls for twenty-one matches—12 in singles and nine in doubles. Today three matches in singles were played resulting in Axel B.-Graven of California, an American Rhodes schol- ar, defeating Duance, United States, 5-7, 6-1, 7-5: Willlams United States beating R. Ramaswam India, 6-4, 6- and Jeffers U. S. winning from Van Alen, Cambridge, 6-4, 6-2. Roque Courts Are Models The annual tournament of the Am- erican Roque league, held in Chica- go last week, has brousht into prom- inence the wonderful improvement in Garfield park by the west park board in the construction of two new courts, in addition to the three aiready in- stalled, and the most complete light- ing system ever installed for any roque courts, worked out scientifically by the electricians of the west park board ‘whereby games can be played at night as well as by day. Players in the recent championship on the Garfield park courts were en- thusiastic over the steel berders and springbrass arches and the system of lighting and many requests have been received from players for Los Angeles ed to be tall enough but somehow he was aways in the air, he was last seen crawling under the grand stand for one of O'Brien's double jointed arm twirls. Peckham, the star short stop, has the honor of playing one inning a}l alone but is still unaware of the fact. It seems as though he wanted to kill the ball when he came to bat by the way he was swinging. He thought he was rowing home to dinner, as he holds the record for crossing the Thames. All he lacked in making a homer was one of the oars. O'Brien has often said he missed his calling but as far as a ball player, he would make a good bally-hoo man for some side-show. Grieve must have lost his_tanglefoot as he gracefully did a “Nick Altrock” on his only fly. As he stepped up to bat and started to swing the constable approached him and told him there was only enough wind in Norwich for one wind- mill. So Frank sat down and O'Leary who batted for him, found himseif safe on first, after a small argument. He started on his gallant run for second and somehow he and the um- pire, Joe Haskell, found themselves neck and neck as they neared se ond base. O'Leary was out at sec- ond by a close play. O'Leary claimed he would have beat Haskell but ow- ing to his “dogs” giving away was unable to compete with such a good athlete as Haskell. Mucahay stopped at the foundry and had a new arm made for the occasion. Clabby show- ed up in his old time form and seem- to be the only live one on the team. After the game was over they had their usual amount of alibis o offer, but the Mill Team have heard of these before. The Office Team want a game for next week but what's the use of beating them again’—but to give them a chance to come back the Mill Team has decided to give them a game sometime in the near future. The Mill Team showed up in fine form, Kip Scoval, no doubt will some day be with the big leagues he can “shoot” a ball to second as good as anyone. He is credited with 5 put outs at’ second. Johnson with his usual good hurling allowed only two hits. He was quite sore Friday, his legs and arms seemed to be muscle bound but has found out that turpentine and linseed oil will put him back in shape.

Thread City boys are the attraction and as the season rolls on it like Ashland and Willimantic have league though the first and fourth clubs are separated by only a game and a half Ashland now leads the league by a half game, Willimantic pushing them hard. Last week these two clubs met in the most thrilling battle of the sea- son, Willimantic winning in ten inn- ings. It was one of those games where he breaks counted and Ashland fig- ures that the breaks can't always £0 the same way.
