landers are beginning to ask whether
the title of boy Manager applied
to Hal Chase, does not about describe
1t.
1t was great day for youthful
tWirlers, several exploding and a few
holding tight.
Every time Frank Chance leaves the
Cubs lineup he proves that he is one
third of the team.
The Yanks dropped from second to
fifth place by their knockout at the
hands of the Red Sox.
After an absence from the game of
more than a year, king Brockett
tried to get back to form, yesterday,
but his ticket was cancelled.
When the st. Louis Nationals, do
play well luck seems to be against
them. Yesterday they played error
less ball and outbatted the Pirates but
lost. =
"Toots" Shuttle changed from the
rah-rah ranks to the regulars was
signalized by to 0 defeat of the
Superbas.
The White Sox seem to be getting
slowly together.
Tom Downey got a two Dagger and
a pair of singles against Chicago yes
terday. Cincinnati beat the Cubs by
Is to 2.
Lower appears to be Waterbury's
winning pitcher. He got the decision
over Hartford yesterday by to 1.
The Senators went up in the air in
OH
which with two hits gave four runs.
Rossbach worked for Hartford.
Mike smalling got one hit for Hol-
yoke yesterday. He is fielding in his
usual excellent style.
THAT was an awful game to sit
through said Manager Mccain to-
day. 81 almost wore out the bench
sliding around in my excitement. We
had to fight hard to get the decision
over HoIyoke."
Hoar twir1ed a great game for New
Britain yesterday and the southpaw
won from Northampton by 2 to 0.
Conroy worked for the Larks.
They say that Manager Big Bill
Luby of Northampton has developed
into q regular crab and bawls the
umpire out at the slightest provoca-
ton. Perhaps that's why the Larks
are making better showing this
season.
Rehg is playing an erratic game at
shortstop for Hartford. He is a
sweet hitter but hasn't covered him
self with glory as an infielder so far.
Bob Stowe got back on the band
wagon yesterday by pounding out two
swats. The second baseman stands
UP there like a good hitter but bas
been hitting in hard luck this season.

YALE CHAPEL BUILT
ON BOTTLE OF BRANDY
Interesting Quart of Booze i'm Estate
of Professor Brewer.

New Haven, June 13.-From the
estate of the late Professor William
H. Brewer the Yale library has re-
ceived a bottle of old brandy with an
Interesting history to it. The pro-
fessor has left a memorandum which
says that in 1875. when he was a
student at the old laboratory on the
campus, a tradition was current in
college that at the time the old chap
ell was being built in 1928 some stu
dents had broken into a tutors room
and had stolen a certain bottle of
brandy from his desk and hid 1t in
one of the columns of the half erect
ed building.
The next day the bottle was cover
ed up by the masons at work on the
building. When the building was
torn down in 1890, Superintendent L.
e. Hotchkiss, at Professor Brewer s
suggestion, kept a lookout for the
bottle and found it. Since that time
until his death it has been in the
possession of Professor Brewer. The
tutor to whom the bottle belonged
was Edward Bull, 1916, and the stu
dents connected with the case were
William Twintng, 1925, uncle of Pres
ident Hadley, and Simeon North,
1925. The bottle containing some Of
the original brandy is now on exhi-
bition at the Yale library.

NEW PEST APPEARS
ON WHITE PINE TREES.
White Lice Threaten Destruction of
Trees Near N1iddletown.

Middletown, June 13-The destruc-
ton of tens of thousands of white pine
trees Is threatened in this section by a
plague of white lice The lice first
appeared on the trees this season at
Mount Highly reservoir, the water
supply of Midtown. In many in
stances the lice cover the tree so
thickly that 1t looks as though the
trunk and larger limbs had been
painted with a white powder The
trouble is so serious that the care of
the trees has been taken in hand by
the State authorities, mainly to pre-
vent q spread of the pest.
