 of New Britain's record for the past
 seven days, other than that it was a
 disappointment just as the Skis showed some winning form. The team went up against New London
 four times and was evidently. fright
 ened by the power of the Planters.
 These defeats with others made the record seven straight on the wrong side. Maybe it will break the other way in the week to come.
 It was Waterbury which furnished the league sensation this week. with six straight victories and gain on New London of two games. Fohrs men are going along in fine style for the present. They took occa- sion while fortune was smiling to shove a couple of we'll meant spurts onto the siding of defeat. Bridge
 port and Springfield were the vic- tims. Bridgeport had no trouble in defeating New London, but it fell twice before Waterbury and made the record for the week four wins out of seven games. Springfield con- tributed three to the Waterbury maw and it's record shows only three wins in seven games. New London went on with five wins out of seven games. New Haven was next to Waterbury in doing things with four wins in six games and an advance to the first division over Springfield and Hartford. The gloom in Hartford is only a little less than that in New Britain, and as misery loves company Hartford and New Britain can shake just now. The O'Neiled champions I1y tv1tn If poY
 But they do whisper that Dan is
 preparing brand new spurt which he Is about to launch. It was bud
 ding at the end of last week. The advent of Heath in the 300
 class was about the only bright spot in New Britain's batting. The tall first sacker looks like the real goods as ball player. By mistake Jack Egan's name was left out last week It was supposed he had been released but it was another Egan. Jack is some sticker. He added a few more points to his record and is up with fast company. He gained six points. : Other gathers were Miller S9 points, Heath 50, Wilson 9, Dawson 2. The losers were Tetreault IS points, Moves ; 16, Toland 24. Jones 15, Hancock 5. , Smith 2. The others made no change.

 Individual Batting.
 You have got to hand it to Man. ager Fohl of Waterbury. The excite l ment of a thrilling spurt on the part of his underlings and the exercise of brain work in coaching hurlers on
 batters' weaknesses fails to stay his 1 infinite variety at the bat. He con- 1 tinues the real leader of the league with a gain of one point. Another l backstop, peppery little Crook of Bridgeport, has a better average for fewer games, but the Waterbury 1 leader is the real kingpin for still another week. Curiously enough the 1 first four men belong to the battery part of the teams. Smith of Water bury Is the first of the other half to 1 get into prominence. He leads the league in the number of swat con- tributions with seventy-ive. Briggs of New London is hard after him with seventy-two. The new men in this week are Chancet of New Haven,
 Heath and Egan of New Britain, Connolly, Groh and Keegan of Spring field. Connolly Is a comeback. The dead list includes Blum of Bridge port, Barney and Curry of Hartford and Quinn of New London Briggs of New London deserves special note. He made at least one safe hit in every one of eleven straight games, with eighteen altogether and an aver age of .42O The leaders,:
