SIEN STRONG BATTERES FOR GAMES YACEYS AND AMERIGAN THREAD A et L { Now that the Norwich Kaceys have Aucked away two of the four scalps of the Taftville All Stars, the fans in and around Norwich are ndering bow much of a chance the American Thread A. A. of Willimantic will stand ‘when they play two games this week jend with this same Kacey team. ! The two games put up by the Ka- ‘weys on the past week end were .a rredit to any team in the state, Sat- urday’s twelve inning thriller espec- Jally being a game that put to the ‘seid test the abllity of the boys repre- tuntlnl Norwich on the diamond, and 'with the win it was shown that the iKacey team as it stood that day was the best seen here this season and gannot be bettered. Willimantic it is understood has gtrengthened the lineup of its team r the coming double battle and will ve fast men in the gardens and Intield, while the battery work .will est ir: the able hands of King Bader, %una\'un. as pitchers and Lavigne as e backstop man. Bader as the crowd hat witnessed the 12 inning battle Saturday shows, is in fine form and It will take a good man to beat him In the box. Canavan is also known here, perhaps too well for besides being a good pitcher s handy with the willow and is liable to break up the little old game at. any time. The only trouble with Hughie seems to be that he can't be depended upon, but Manager John McQuillan of the Thread City team claims to have the drop on Hugh and 11 produce him for #xhibition here next Sunday. What the hard hitting Kacey boys will do to him is an entirely different thing. .In Lavigne for the back-stop member of the Willimantic team there comes an- other man who is a danger signal ®very time he steps up to the plat- fer. Last Saturday he took two of Gaw's curves and socked the ball out Into the atmosphere for a three quar- #er meal ticket, the first of his long Mirives being the means of Taftville Mcoring their lone tally. i The Kacey team will have Gaw and #Reynolds ready for the game Satur- ay when Bader will probably pitch or Willimantic and as Gaw took the st end of the 12 inning battle here, e seems slated to best the “shine all artist” at Willimantic, Saturday. { For Sunday’'s game the Kacey pitch- Pr will be Fortune, a former New Lon- Bon Eastern league pitcher, who has Eo been a moundsman for Reading, d now resvasents Springfield in the stern League. During the past sea- Pon in 28 games he has collected eight Bingles and eight doubles, has field- ®Bd his position for 989. His pitching Rverage is the best of the Springfield burlers, and in 28 starts he has won 36 and lost 9 games a percentage of $40. His strike out record for the sea- 8on has been 102 thus far. ‘With these pitchers and with Bader for the backstop man, and the other [fine players on the team the Kaceys ere ready for Willimantic with the best aggregation they have presented this season.

LOUIS BY TWO AND ONE HALF GAMES Detroit, Sept. 19—The New York Yankees continued their march to- ward the American league champion- ship today by coming from behind in the latter part of their game with De- trolt and winning 4 to 3. Faced by a one run handicap, yielded to Detroit in the second inning when Sam Jones allowed two of thé four hits obtained off his delivery during the game, the Yankees tied the count in the seventh due to clever base running on the part of Schang and Jones, and put the game in the winning column in the next frame on extra base blows by Pipp and Meusel. Babe Ruth made his thirty fourth home run of the sea- scoring Dugan ahead ' of him. The Tigers counted in the same in- ning on a pass to Cobb and Veach's triple. Detroit took the lead in the second. Rigney was hit and Woodall tripled, bringing him home. Blue's sac- rifice scored Woodall. Piilette lacked control in the sev- | enth, walking Schang and Jones, who worked the double steal for the tying run. In the eighth Ruth tripled but ‘was out at the plate trying to stretch it. Pipp doubled and scored on Meu- sel's three base hit. During the last five innings no De- troit batsman reached first base. One of the hits off Jones was credited to Pillette, who hit to Pipp and was safe hen no one covered first.
