BIG IMPROVEMENT IN | LOCALS STICK WORK.
 bones Returns to Keep Egan Csmpany1in 300 Swat Class. :. HARTFORD LAST IN RUN MAKING
Skis Shove Senators Into Eighth
 Place in That Department By Score All Around.

|6Written by S. w. Challenger, Official N Scorer, Eastern Assn.)
 N Bridgeport, July 27-New Britain hn1ayed improved baseball since last we met. as they say in the story Books. The Skis won two out of six [games and made it interesting for the |Sother fellows in most of the battles pulled off. The figures show inn proved batting and fielding and New Britain is now .95O team in field work. It pushed up peg and tied New Haven in this direction.
 But there is one other thing which may bring little joy to the New Britain heart. It is no longer the lowest scoring team in the league. That spurt with New Haven enabled Scinski's boys to get out of the last hole, in run making, while the dear est foe'' over Hartford way was showed into the cavity. New Britain now has margin of four over the sO'Neil crowd.
 While New Britain was trying hard to improve it's record New London went on its winning way with four wins out of five games played, gain of game for the week, Waterbury winning only three out of five. Bridgeport fell back further with four wins out of seven games. Pittsfield made a little spurt and won four out of six played. Springfield divided six games, while Hartford won only two out of five New Haven had it's poor est week of the season winning only one of six games.
 New Britain has something on at least three teams in the league, and that is representatives in the 300 class. Egan holds up his end in great shape. He gained three points and is fifth among the league stick CTS. Jones made fine spurt and gained twelve points which put him in the select ranks once again.
 Flannery was another great per- former with the willow, gaining 42 points. Miller put on 16, Smith II, Zeimer and Tetrault two each and Wilson four. Hancock lost 37, Wood ward 38, Poland 13, Dawson 6 and Moves g. Heath made no change. The records: 4

Pitchers' Records.

Since we last had talk with the fiurlers there have been many shifts and changes. But the one thing standing out as prominently as ever Is the high rank of the New Lon- doners. Greenwall Is the best win ner He is also a star performer in keeping the runs down, the true mea- sure of pitchers ability. Osborne of Waterbury holds the best average in this respect. Martin and Green wall of New London follow. All three are southpaws it may be ob- served. Osborne has the superior control, while Martin Is the strike out king. Greenwan has control. but little inferior to Osborne Both show remarkably well for left handlers
