GREENWICH HIGH TEAM

Glass, produced through the slillful

self yesterday in the Bridgeport High

side Park, B. H. S. winning 10 to 8.
The local school boys not only started
their season right with a victory, but
were just as good as Gene McCanns

opened the season by splitting the
heart of the home dish with an out
shoot. The local boys played the
game like veterans. taking the lead
from the start, and staying there.
Hank Johnson. brought out by

CLEVELAND AFTER
CAPABLE SHORTST0P
Maps Would Like to Get Lathers
of Detroit

Detroit, April 25.---"My kingdom for
a s]Iortstop," might well be the cry
Of Manager Mcclure of the Cleveland
club right now. The Maps are sadly
in need of a young man who can hit
the ball now and then and at the
same time field in manner that will
not cause his station to be q sieve.
Knaupp, who held down the job ny
the two games played by the Forest
City outfit in Detroit this week, is far
below the major league standard, il
his work here is to be taken as a
criterion. AS a fielder he is fair, but
in hitting he is about az valuable to
the club as the bat-boy. Olsen, the
Pacific Coast wonder, who was tried
out at the start of the season, isn't
any better apparently.
Manager MCGUIRE now has decided
to move Terry Turner back to his old
position at short and to give Art
Griggs trial at third. OF course,
there is no doubt about Turner being
a capable shortstop if his arm holds
out, but whether Griggs can make
good at the hot corner remains to be
seen. The former Brownie is rated
as better than a fair hitter and so
far this season he has been banging
tinguished himself in defensive play
and during his major league career
has been shifted from pillar to post on
the infield, playing all the way
around from first to third.
In the present situation, Mr.. Nc
CURE probably would give UP some
real money for Chick Lathers Of
Detroit, to be used as his third base
man, but President Navin would not
listen to proposition whereby the
collegian would go to strengthen an
other club of the American League.
T1atI1ers cartainly would be a better
fielding third sacker than Griggs has
given any Indication of being and,
playing every day, probably would hit
the ball to an average of at least .25a
for the sea son. which Is about .249
better than knapp threatens to hit.

SMALLINC IS
GOING Great
FOR HOLYOKE
Local Boy Saved Day by Great
Catch Against Hartford
(By Ira Hau.)

big Mike Smalling appears to
have made good with the Holyoke
crew. So far he has participated IN
three league games with the Massa-
tinguished himself. He grabbed hit
in the opening contest with New Brit
ain and also a sacrifice out of four
trips to the plate. Saturday he tore
OF a two Dagger and also another
sacrifice again out of four trips TO
the first and fourth stopping place.
Yesterday he repeated, even going bet
ter. This time out of four journeys
TO the home station he spilled the ball
for one hit and two sacrifices. Or
ficially he has been at the bat eight
times in the three games and has
made three hits, an average of 1875.
That Manager Wade Moore of the
Canardiggers thinks well of Mike is
certain in that he has made Mike the
clean up kid, or fourth on the bat
game as it should be played. In the
first inning with Duggan on third and
Murray on first, Smalling was ordered
to sacrifice. A neat little bunt was
placed along the first base line. Dug.
gan scored on the squeeze while
Murray went all the way round to
third. Murray later scored on a sim
gle In the seventh after Murray had
singled, Smalling came through with
another sacrifice placing Murray on
second. from where he scored on
single with the run that beat Hart
ford 5-4. In the last of the eighth.
Smalling tore off single, but the
gang behind him could not shove
him along.
Mike is delivering the goods in the
field as well as welding the hickory.
When he first went to Holyoke he
tried out at his favorite position, first
base, where he has played for the
past few years with the Yost club.
Duggan, who played the initial sack
for Holyoke last season was again on
the job. and Smalling was sent to the
left garden. He has played that posi-
ton regularly ever since, and has yet
to make a misplay. That he is doing
the stunts well in the field is no sur
prise to his many friends in this city.
His chief asset has always been his
fielding, playing any position on the
diamond. with the exception of back
stop, with equal efficiency. Yester-

Smalling writes to friends in this

new every day, and that Manager

that Butch Steinhauser who played
in right for the Orators of 1909 is
on the bench ready to step into the

CITY LEAGUE
WON'T STAND
FOR WEST ENDS
By Ira Hall.)

The C1overs are dead, insofar as the
City Baseball league is concerned.
Last evening the six league moguls,

league were present at the meeting

vious meeting at which but four man
ayers were present and at which it
was voted to admit the Sokol club.
were read. there was no opposition
from the other officials of the league,
thereby affirming the action Of the
four managers.
Manager Benny Lee and Captain
Jack Cotter of the Clovers read over
the final baseball extras last evening
in one room of the city clerks office
while the City Leaguers were busy in
the other The Glover boys had been
tipped off that there might be some
thing doing at the meeting, that the
league might rescind the action of last
week. might drop the Sokois and
might accept the C1overs. For this
reason they were present ready to
post their forfeit of SIS for fran
chise.
The city Leaguers do not care to
enter into warfare with the West Ends
or any other local club, and for that
reason. wish to have it known that
nowhere in their constitution. their by
laws or in the minutes of their meet
ings is there anything whereby any
one team in the league is forbidden to
play with any other team in the city.
II has never been written that such
a rule prevailed. but nevertheless there
can be a secret understanding to that
erect Sentiment at least, compe1s
the City ledguerS to refrain from
games with the West Ends. 1t is this
sentiment that brought about the call
ing off of games arranged between
the West Ends and clubs in the City
league. The league schedule was
adopted calling for the opening of the
season Sunday May II.

afternoon and got the decision over
the Cubebs by to 2. Dan O'Neils
men fought hard all the way but
Gibbs was invincible in tight places
and held them safe when hit would
have done damage. New Britain was
strengthened by the two Cubans. Mar
sans and Cabrera, but the fielding of
the team was still a trifle ragged.
Hoar, the recruit from the Coe
Brass team in Torrington. twirled for
the O'Neil tribe. He was reached for
seven hits but after the third inning
Bridgeport could not do much with
him. Litschi pounded out home run
and Eley solved Hoar's slants for four
hits, including a two Dagger. Stowe
and Litschi did the best fielding for
Gibbs for Bridgeport had just a
trifle the best Of the pitchers argu-
ment, for. while he gave as many
hits as Hoar. he kept them scattered
to better advantage, and had six
strikeouts to his credit. He gave three
passes and hit Marsans, but was al
most always master of the situation.
Bridgeport opened the scoring in
the second when Litschi laid UP
against one of Hoar's choicest and
clOuted the sphere to the woods for q
homer. In the next inning Eley OPEN
ed with O double and stole third. He
tailed on Kustus' bunt and the latter
was safe on second when Rufiange
threw wild to first. Ryan then drop

crossed with the last run for the
Mechanics.
New Britain broke into the run
column in the fourth. Waterman and
Eaulka hit safely but stopped at
third and second, respectively, while
Dunlop was thrown out and Ostrich
famed. Rufange knocked a scorch-
er to third, which he beat out, and
Waterman scored.

BATTlkG AVERAGES IN
TWO MAJOR LEAGUES OUT
Sam Crawford and Nap Lajoie
Well up i'm Swat List

The first list of batting averages in
the National and American leagues
shows the usual large number of men
hitting from 300 up. Of course, the
averages will fall off as the season
grows, and the star hiIers Of both
leagues will find their way to the top
OF the list. Manager Charlie Doom of
the PhilEes is the real leader of the
National league. having an average Of
81 for six games. Magee, last years
league leader. is hitting for 1920. Wag-
ner is clouting the ball for 1888 while
Tenney Of Boston has an average Of
$40.
In the American league Crawford Of
Detroit is the real leader, his mark
being .526 for six games. Lajoie OF
the Maps has hit for .455 in seven
contests and Ty Cobb is we'll over the
400 mark. The strong hitters of the
Athletics, worlds champions. are we'll
down the list. The batting averages
of those over the 800 mark in both
leagues follow.

Otis Johnson the highlander IN
fielder, is a funny man. He keeps
some of his witty remarks and when
the players are in good humor they
play fine ball.
Roy Hartzell, the former Brown,
who is holding down the regular
shortstop position on the Highlanders,
is now playing better ball than he
ever did in st. Louis A change Is al
ways an incentive for player to ex-
ert himself.
Jack McInnis is slated for first base
position on the Athletics as soon as
Harry Davis is through. This is the
latest dope from the East. McInnSs
is a likely youngster. but he has not
had much chance to practice at the
first corner.
One st. Louis Critic refers to Jim
my Callahan as a grand young Celt.
That might have applied to him ten
years ago, but he can stand more than
that now.
Scotty INJECTION has been hitting the
ball so hard and often since he start

regret that he did not keep him.

it. at that.
"Slim'' Gardner, the tall Pacific Coast
pitcher, who made such a favorable
impression on Clarke in the last Chi
cago game, is glad he did so we'll, not

about said Nap LaJoie. Red de-
clar that one day while he was play

preaching, and, knowing the strength
of the storms which frequently blew
over that part Of the country, Red
rushed on to the diamond and made
a wonderful slide for the third bag.
