No St. Benediet-Central Play of.


Visions of play-off between the
st. BeredicS Prep. and Central High
School basketball teams for the city
championship were completely dis
PEELED yesterday when announcements
were made in the chapel exercises OF
the respective schools that there
would be no post-Season game. 1t
was understood before last Fridays
game that there would be no extra
contest, but it was not until yester-
day that the schoolboys abandoned
hope. The reasons given for the
abandonment of a third game were
set forth yesterday in the light that
an extra contest would detract the
students from their studies and might
jeopardize the athletic relations be-
tween the two schools, which were
but recently cemented.

Some Fielding Stunts.

Some Fielding Stunts.
 While the batters get much glory, but little is said of the chaps who go game after game without a b1under, and at the same time are covering all sorts of ground. Listen to the tale of the princes in their positions. Hildebrand of New London with run of twenty-eight games is premier of the receivers Troy of Pittsfield has yet to err, going thirty games as hurler. Ems of Bridgeport travelled thirty-four straight at first base be- fore he blundered. Hammond of Springfield went thirteen straight among the second sackers. Boultes of Bridgeport has gone forty straight, a wonderful record in any league for third baseman. It is all the more re- markabl because of the cares of manager and captain go with his posi- tion. It breaks all league records. Zeimer of New Britain shows four teen straight at shortstop. In the outfield Briggs of New London went sixty-three straight in the left garden, Barr of New Haven thirty-four in the center and Hallman of Bridgeport fifty-five in right You would have some ball team right in this collec- tion. .... ua.
 ErrOrlesS Games.
 New London leads in errorless games with twenty-two, and Bridge port is second with nineteen. Others show: Springfield fourteen, New Ha- ven thirteen, New Britain twelve, Pittsfield eleven, Hartford ten, Wa terbury eight. The total is 1O9 and it is behind that of last year.
 Shutout Games.
 New Britain has caught the white wash brush seventeen times. Hart ford has been dosed ten, Bridgeport, Springfield and Pittsfie1d nine each, New Haven eight, New London six and Waterbury only two. The league total is seventy and New London hurers have administered no less than nineteen of them, more than, one-fourth.

SCHULTZ WON'T JUMP.

Frank Schulte, crack outfielder of the Chicago Cubs, will not take leap to the Federals, as he threat ened. Schulte, peeved over being re- placed as a regular by knisely the Southern leaguer, got into an argu- ment with Hank O'Day, and after hot discussion told the leader of the Cubs he would sign a contract with the Kansas City Feds. O'Day there upon suspended Schulte indefinitely. Rather than see the star outfielder lost to the Cubs, Schulte's teammates interceded for him with O'Day and succeeded in having matters patched up between the manager and the warrior.

Brooklyn Nationals Barely Dtfta.
 Bridgeport.

New Haven, Aug. 10.-Back on the home sod for the first time in a week, the White Wings performed against the classy Planters at Savin Rock yes. terday afternoon. Failure to hit in the pinch left the locals stranded in defeat, the visitors holding on 10 the greater end of to score. Steven White and Bill Powers were in the points for their respective clubs and the latter, despite his wildness, had far the better of the argument. New Haven filled the bases In the second and third innings with two out, but in each instance Marhefka, the pep. pery third sacker of the league lead CTS, cayorted the offerings of waters and Miller into easy outs. McCor. mack's single scored both of the locals runs while Spencer was re. sponsible for three of the half dozen chalked up by the visitors.
 New Haven, besides its poor bat. ting, threw away several chances to score by dumb work on the paths Mangus fell sound asleep in the fourth and allowed Warmers fly te net two bases.
 Manager McCann of New London was chased from the field in the sew enth for dsputing A decision at sec, ond base. His banishment carried with it fine. The score:

They out nit and outfielded their rivals and easily came out on top of a "A score. Nelson was in fine form and struck out seven men and allowed but six scattered hits. Johnson, at third for the Rangers, played a star game, while Hogan, at short for the Annex fielded his position in fine style.
 The Rangers secured eleven hits off Elanchette. but reckless base running cost them a couple of runs in the first inning. Sanberg made a one handed stab and shut off a sure two bagger in the seventh and Berry also pulled a hot one down in the ninth, after long run. The score:

Team Fielding.


 Team fielding is doing about as we'll as a year ago. The two leaders are up to and bit ahead of the two a year back. Cautiously enough the same teams lead this year at this time twelve months ago-New London and Bridgeport. Then they showed .963 and .95S. Today they show 96S and 961. New London has the same average: Bridgeport is four points higher. Both teams gained point during the week. New Haven added two points and Springfield one. New Britain lost two. The others made no change. It is curious how steadily Waterbury and Hartford field around 944. The league average is .952, as compared with .953 a year back The figures:

THE RIGHT OF PUBLIC, TRUSTEES
 TO GET A PROFIT FROM THEIR TRUST

R VT OHNMAN LEEDS, chairman of the board of IN contract and supply offered resolu- ton, yesterday, by which members of the board pledged themselves not to use their pub- lio power to sell their own goods to the city It is significant that the resolution was beaten, and equally significant that Mayor Wilson re- fused an express invitation to be present at the meeting where the measure received it's death blow.
 No just opposition could be raised against 1lr Leeds proposal It is commonplace principle of the general law governing trustees for others, that the trustee shall not: profit by his trust.
 The whole practice of trustees, whether public or private, using the authority entrusted to them to line th cir oxVn pockets, is condemned in law and morals.
 The contract board was established under the loftfest prete nsion ofs Q desire to help Bridgeport by doing away with abuses relat- ing to expenditure
 The history of the city may be vainly searched for a period in which greater abuses, connected with he expenditure of the public money, have occurred.
 The purchase of automobiles from the ap- propriation for nacada1a repairs; the Warren ite contracts by which $fe0,Oo0 is to be expendz ed for macadann repairs, the removal Of MT. Gatlin and the defeat of the Leeds resolution are sfraRvs which show which way the wind blows The wind blows toward extravaganee, toward maximum private profits for public ser wants, and toward the time when the people of Bridgeport will be driven, for their own protec- td6mg to give the city an. old fashioned govern nent which will have less talk about econo4 my, progress and honesty and more of those essentials in fact
