IMPORTANT BATTLE
Tc Win Tomorrow Will Mean Tie for First Place for New Britain High Dudack to Oppose Anderson.

The New Britain High school base ball team faces the crucial contest of season tomorrow afternoon at Walnut Hill park, when the fast New Haven nine, will stack up against Captain Kiniry's boys, in the game which is highly important to the home lads. Should New Britain win this contest, a triple tie will exist in the Triangu- lar league, each of the representa- tives having lost to each other. The largest crowd of the season is eX- pected to be in attendance.
 With the decisive walloping ad- ninistered to Hartford High Memor- ial Day, renewed vigor has entered into the ranks of the locals who will enter tomorrows fray confident that the Elm City boys will receive the same treatmen accorded the Capitol City team. New Britain forced the New Haven team to top speed three weeks ago, and there has been considerable improvement in their work since then.
 Anderson the big hurler of the visitors is regarded as one of the greatest school boy hur1ers in this section. Last Saturday he held the Hartford team hitless, scoring a shut out Against him will be pitted Dudack, who is himself no slouch at he art of ainging the apple, and with both boys at their best, pretty
 attle should ensue.
 One of the weaknesses that has existed in the local ranks has been the catching position, filled by Harold Byett. Called in from the outfield to fill the vacancy caused by Conleys funking Byett was placed in diff ficult position, but with the earnest attention paid to coaching, Byett has developed into star. In the game against Hartford this week his work stood out prominently, playing a game that was all that could be asked for.
 The hitting of Zwick's charges has also shown considerable improve ment, particularly Barton and Kopf who have rapped the apple in timely fashion in recent games.

KITCHENER CHILLED
 BY WAR CRITICS
"Ginger Group Gets After Him While Westminster Palace Is Under
 Close Guard.

London. June ?, 1925 p. m.-Earl Kitchener had today what was for linn the uniuue experience of being heckled bv parliamentary critics of the war of fee. Complying with the promise made on his behalf in the house of commons by the parliamentary under- secretary for war, Harold J. Tennant, in response to complaints of members that they had not had opportunity to question the secretary of war, the famous general went to one of the committee rooms of the house, pre- pared to make a statement on the con- duct of the war and reply to ques- tiOnS.
 The war secretary was accompanied by several members of his staff and the political heads of the war office. He faced some 200 members, includ- ing what are known as the ginger groups" composed of men who de- mand more vigorous prosecution of the war. The public was excluded vigorously. Indeed, the whole of Westminster Palace was shut off. to avoid leakage of any secret informa- tion which might be elicited.

The Giant HOme-Coming.

It isn't to be marvelled at that New York fandom has gone a trif1e dippy over the Giants June home coming. There are a number of in cidents connected with the case that r>ake it an unusual one, even in a game fairly full of the unusual.
 Three years ago the Giants won their last pennant and ended their three-year reign of the National league Tn 1914 they began to slip fast after mid-season. In 1915 they went all the way to the end of the line, down at the foot
 Then McGraw added five Federal league stars-Kauff. Anderson, Rari- den, Rousch and McKechnie. With these additions there was the hope and the dream that perhaps the Giants were headed in the proper di- rection again, back along the old roadbed. But the Giants strength was still something of a guess. Un- doubtedly the club had been i'm lroved Just how much no one knew New York fans hoping for the best, watched the Giant progress through the East They saw Me Craw's team win exactly one game. They saw the record against the Eastern clubs stand at two victories and thirteen defeats. The blow was hard one The dream was about shattered Apparently here was an other campaign of Giant disa ster. And then, almost before any one knew what was taking place, the Giants were on their way to the greatest road record in all history

The June Test

June is the month that should legin to give Us a hunch or two on the following matters:
 1. Whether Washington and Cleveland can maintain the pace they set earlier in the year.
 2. Whether the White Sox and Tigers intend to pop out of the second division.
 3. Whether the Giants can hold a fair part of the dizzy pace they have been setting for month.
 June is generally the date when form begins to tell and when stamina, a big actor in the grind of a pennant race begins to figure daily in the box score.

So, in place of being forced to face another cellar championship year, Giant fans have emerged from the dull depths again, and now be- leve they have a sure winner to re- cume where McGraw left off in 1913. And the queer, quaint part of it is that, although June has arrived, New York denizens along Rooters Row have seen their ball club win only one game since last October.

New York, June 2.-Bullet Joe Bush was good against the Yankees yesterday at the Polo Grounds His fast ball had a shoot, jump, hop or skid-whatever it is that a pitched ball has when unusually speedy- and the Yankees led sedentary life at the hat. They were shut out. The score was to in favor of the Athletics.
 Mack's entOurage of vets and babes can leap from one extreme to another better than any other team. They were fearful on Wednesday; yester- day they were invulnerable. They couldn't help win with the invincible pitching of their bullet accomplice to inspire and assist them, but they played faultlessly in the field and swung a murderous mallet. The only detail in which they were tangled or i'll at ease was in base running, and but for the facility of young MT. Witt to do things wrong on the bases and the fact that Lajoie was hit by a batted ball they probably wouldn't have deferred their scoring until the sixth inning. The score:
