INDEPENDENTS WON.
New London Team Took Game from
Hospitals 9 to 7-FieIdins Was Rag
sed.

The Norwich State hospital team
were not up to the form shown by the
New London Independents Wednes-
day afternoon at the hospital grounds
and the visitors by pushing over two
tallies in the ninth won out, 9 to 7.
Zemke's pitching was right up to his
usual standard, with IL strike-outs and
no free passes, but his support was
weak, particularly at the first corner.
West at short was about the only re-
deeming feature. Cranker for New
London was effective but his support
was not all that could be desired.
The teams were tied at three points
during the game, in the first, the Sec
ond and the eighth, but a wild throw
in the ninth gave the game to New
London

State Champion VIII Be Decided.

The 10-mile Marathon for the Con-
necticut championship at the Clan
na-GaleE games at Savin Rock next
Saturday is going to be a race worth
going miles to see.
The 10-mile race isn't the whole pro-
gramme by any means, as Flanagan
and all the big New York stars have
sent in their entry blanks. which have
been shown to all the doubters A. C.
Girbert, the former Yale pole vaulter
and Olympic winner. has entered in
his speciality.
Judging by the way Flanagan has
been throwing the hammer of late it
wouldn't be at all surprising if he set
a new record Saturday.
