INTER-CITY BATTLE.
Factory Pennant Winners in Hartford
 and This City to Clash

What should be one of the most in 1eresting baseball battles of the sea- son is scheduled for tom orrow after noon at 3 o'clock when the Fafnir Fearing company nine, which showed it's superiority over the best in this city, will stack up against the Pratt & Whitney team of Hartford, which tcok similar honors in the Capitol City. The visitors have the reputation of having one of the most evenly bal anced teams in factory circles in the state and should force the local lads to top speed.
 The game will also afford local fans an opportunity of watching Stanley, the reputed phenom, in action for the last time this season. Stanley went through the local factory league like @ house af1re, but in facing the P & w. team he is likely to confront stronger opposition. Larry ManSan will hold the indicator.

CHAMP CLAIMS DISPUTED.
Rovers Baseball Team Hot on Trail of
 Annex Team Without Success.

Recently in this city there was a baseball league known as the Hard ware City league, which contested Saturday afternoons at Walnut Hill
 park. The league was of mediocre ability, but the winner of the league
 pion, evidently feel that to hold this title all they have got to do is to sit l back and do nothing. The Rovers baseball club, and good one at that, nave issued several challenges to the management of the Annex team, known as the champions of the city, 1 (put not claimed where the Pioneer players can hear it) only to receive a silent rebuff
 One of the players of the Rovers
 team talked with the writer last even- Ing, to whom he spoke of the efforts or ms team to arrange a match with the Annex aggregation for next Sat ]. urday afternoon at St. Mary's play grounds or at Walnut Hill park. Dur ing the discussion the Rover player
 gave his opinion of the Annex "cham-
 pions' as follows: ''The Annex team in my opinion is a false alarm, and until they can show the Rovers that they have it on them, the title of
 champion holds unclaimed. Cham
 pions of what? Why the only place that bunch shows championship abil- ity is in some photographer gallery posing for their pictures. They know that the Rovers have got something on them and for that reason refuse to grant us a game. Part of the swelled dome carried by this alleged bunch of
 ball players was reduced last Sunday
 by the Pioneers who handed the champs a trimming that they should remember, and if the Rovers can in
 duce the Annex to give them a game,
 (, repetition of this will be the out COme."

CITY LEAGUE BOWLING
Annex and Rangers Have Soft Time in Winning Three Games Last
 Fvening-Ever Hear of Pastimes?


 The Annex bowlers, champions or the City league last season, got away to an suspicious start last evening ryhen the Wanderers were treated to a three time beating. The victors were never threatened and won in easy fashion. Hoffman was the star pin srnasher, hitting the ducks for scores we'll over the century mark in each game, totaling for the entire match @ score of 325. McBriarty and Young also showed up strongly and scores of 300 and 301 were their re- spective totals For the losers Lar ron was the most consistent performer with a high score of 115 and total of 312.
 A new aggregation made its ap- rearance in the league, the Past1mes, composed of members of the Ken1l- worth club, but the exhibition given by the team last evening would ind1- cate that nothing of a startling na- ture will be produced by that team, particularly with the quintet selected last evening. The Rangers were the lucky team to draw down the Pas times with the result that three vic- tories are now indicated in the league standing. The scores;

TIGERS ARE BEATEN
 BY NATIVE SON
ShoCker Returns to His Home town and Pitches Tanks to Win

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 15.-A diabol- ical plot, matched by Hughey Jen- nings, to defeat the Yankees was thwarted yesterday afternoon in reg ular Frank Merriwell style by Urban Shocker, who made triumphant re- turn to his home town as a member of a big league baseball club and threw the hooks into the Tigers by a score of to 2.
 With deviish cunning, Hughey in sinuated to Bill Donovan what a grand thing it would be to permit Shocker to take the mound against the Tigers so the home folks could see for themselves what a great little pitcher Urban had become since he cavorted around the sandlots of old Detroit To show his love and esteem for his old pal, Jennings said he would invite all the semi-pro and amateur ball players to Navin Field and call it "a Shocker day" Deeply touched by this exhibition of feeling from his old manager, poor unsophis- ticated Bill Donovan easily fell into the snare prepared for him and agreed that the afternoon be turned into a holiday.
 He held the slugging Tigers to five hits and made most of them look like cripples tied to a post. He wavered a bit in the ninth, but, with the tying and winning runs on the sacks, settled down and caused Mckee, a pinch hit ter, to foul to Mullen. Detroit made only one hit up to the seventh, the Yankee felders having a soft time with weak infeld taps and sickly flies , Cobb in particular, was absolutely | helpless, not being able to get the sem blance of bingle for the second time in two days. The score 1 r. h. e New York .... o1O0oo21o-4 8 ! Detroit " 0O0OOO101-2 5 l Batteries: Shocker and Walters ! Mitchell, Roland and Baker.
