something to put Foster Burke or
Connell out Of a job.
Hartford claims to have a wonder
in Ray, the twirler secured from the
ST. Louis Americans. They also have
a Middlebury college twirler named
wray so the scorers will have to use
their heads all the time.
Joe McGinnity's Newark club will
appear at Newfield park Monday af-
ternoon. Newark is said to have one
que. They have Pitcher Wyatt Lee
and Outf1elder Bob Ganley, former big
leaguers, in their line up and also
Outfielder Swayne, who used to be

against Lynn yesterday. Ward and
Leverenz, who worked for Hartford,
gave Lynn four swats.
Sam Crawford, the Detroit outfeld-

The fact that Crawford and Short

London, April 15.-A E. Crawley,
widely known authority on the game,
writing in the Pail Mall Gasette, de-
clares that Billy Larned, the Ameri-
can titleholder, is probably the best
tennis player in the world. Com
menting on the large number Of
Americans who will compete at the
Wimbledon tourney, this summer.
Crawley has kind words for the in
vaders generally and of Larned he
says:
'Larned's ground play is English;
his game has no peculiarities and no
weaknesses. Few men have had more
experience or possess finer records
and no one is better general

Bring on those basehits, boys.
Harvey Russell looked fine yester-
day. He Jsteadied Phelan when he
took Gagain's place. At the bat he
lived up to his reputation by slashing
a hit to left and drawing a pass in
two times I'D.
Bob Stowe and Kid Hall worked to-
gether in their old style. In the
third. with Smith on fiIst and Henrik
son on third and one out, Boardman
soaked one at Stowe. Bob threw to
Hall, forcing Smith, and Jimny's
quick l1eave got Boardaan at first by
a step.
Adams. the second Brockton pitcher
was with Brown University last year.
He is big fellow but didn't have
good control.
Tom Standard, last season with
New Britain, is to join Brockton in
New Haven tomorrow and play first.
Boardman. the Brockton third sack
er, was formerly with the Boston Red
Sox. They farmed him to Sacramento
in the Coast league, and this season
he was sent back among the old folks.
Frank COnnaughtOh has the same
old position at the bat He stands
away back and then steps into the
ball Reminded the fans of the bad
actor he was when with Waterbury
last season.
In the third inning Skipper Eley had
three and two on him when he smash
ed one so hard that it pried Pitcher
Warwick's hands apart. The ball
rolled over second base, and then
critical fan asked, do you give him
a hit on that?" No, we fine him SIS
for hitting the ball too hard.
Cy Miller hasn't done any hitting
vet He's due to come across in a
few days.
Joe Kustus IS gradually finding the
ball. His wallop in the seventh near
ly knocked the props from under Lon
drigan, the Brockton shortstop. And
his throw to the plate in the seventh
was superb.
Kid Hall seems to be hitting better
than in 1910. He connected for a sin
gle and drew a pass out of four times
at bat.
