LOCALS CONTINUE TO
 PILE UP VICTORIES
Wal1ngford Starts Things, But Home Boys Refused to Become Skecred,
 and Take Pair of Wins.

Wallingford received another set back in the Inter-City bowling league last evening at the Aetna Alleys, when the home representatives sent them down to two-time defeat, af- ter as brilliant an exhibition of bow ling as has been seen at the alleys this season. The boys from the tornado town," jumped into the fray as if to wipe the lanes clean with New Britain scalps, but after annexing the first game by a margin of thirteen pins, it was the last op- portunity of victory for the heavy artillery of Anderson. Prior and Semple commenced bombardment on the pins. which kept the locals we'll in the fore.
 "Swede' Anderson once more dem- onstrated that. he is a very adept young man in the art of "ducks'' leading the way for high total score with 331. After getting away to a poor score of S4, Eddie" got his eagle eye working with the result that scores of 128 and 119 were his remaining scores. Second in line for mention in the hall of fame is Ed Prior he of b. m. fame. Prior's high score of 132 was unsurpassed during the match and his totals for the evening counted 32O. Very good Eddie.
 After several months of rusticat- ing, "Bill' Semple made his reap pearanCe on the lanes. and showed that he has not lost much of skill in tcppling the pins, securing an even 300 score for his nights work one single score going the century mark and seven better. To three figure scores and one of 92 for a total of 296 was Boss Rogers efforts, while Lantone secured subway honors with 28O.
 For the losers Sitnick, Coughlin and Pullan were the best perform CTS, this trio working hard to keep their home town on the bowling map, despite the many disadvantages that confront it. The scores follow:

A "But" Friend.
Manchester Herald.)

He's one of the finest men I know and of course he's a good friend or mine but" We're always hearing something like this and probably everyone does more or less of it. It is too bad that there are very flew persons in the world who will ever appear to any person as perfect, but it is one of the things that is likely to hold good for human nature. There is a weakness or an element we dont like in almost, if not quite, everyone we know Even in those we love most we are liable to see faults. But it doesn't make us happier to be dwelling on them in our thoughts. It doesn't make Us good, loyal friends to be talking about them. We might be untruthful to deny them, but ther@ is no untruthfulness in not being the ones to talk about and publish them. When we hear that phrase, "Of course I'm a friend of his but" we are generally. right in guessing that what comes after is taking a bigger place in the speakers mind than the friendship. We don't covet that kind of friend For there are always plenty of persons in the world to point to the faults in any mans character The part of his friends is to dwell on the good things which make him after all worthy of friendship. And people know this pretty well; they don't take much stock in the man who is friend with a but"

Boston, April 26.-The Boston Braves, according to baseball experts here, are right in line for the Na- tional league pennant this season. In fact they are being quoted here and in several other cities on the circuit as two to one favorites. According to many they are stronger than the Phillies and are sure to put it over on Pat Moran's team. But will they? The Braves have two of the greatest jinxes in the history of baseball. They are Ed Konetchy and Sherwood Ma gee. Sherwood has been g. member of several machines that appeared

good enough to win the pennant, but the curse of the hoodoo caused his
 club to fall down in every instance.
 The Braves last season at the start of the pennant race appeared to be an
 18-carat cinch to land the flag. In stead, with Sherwood on the job everything went to pot. Now Magee has broken his wrist, and he will be out of the game for weeks. Before this, when Red Dooin was in charge of the Phillies and even prior to that, too, Magee was the star outfielder of an all-star team that year after year failed to come through although the material for victory was there.

New Haven, April 26.-Jimmy Savage, who played third base for the Pittsburgh F'ederals, for the New Ravens and for Viuanova college, will pro obably be signed by Manager Danny Murphy for the New Haven nine. With the dropping of Ivers, the Canadian leaguer,' Murphy has decided upon 'Moose"Syt Miller, the veteran New Havener, for first base and Johnny Nagle will be signed for catcher, with Walter Kennefick for Springfield.
 Soper, who caught for New Haven lats year, will be signed for utility man. Lind, Lynch, Kaiser, Bond, Leonard, Brennan and Ivers were to- day released.
 The signing of Davy Hickman, for merly of the Brooklyn Feds has remedied the only weakness of the New Ravens, the outfield. No more exhibition games are expected till the season opens on Friday, although a game with Yale here Thursday after noon is bare possibility. The Eli nine will be home from it's Easter trip tonight and some of it's coaches would like a match Thursday as a primer for it's bout here with the university of Pennsylvania Saturday.

When he went to Pittsburgh for big money he was hearalded as the guy that would clinch the flag for the Pirates. He ruined 'em. Last year Reb Oakes' club had look in for the flag and led, up to the last week, when Koney's hoodoo sat down to hand ride the sit uation. The Pittsburghs finished third.

From Henry Leach.

Henry Leach one of the great golf writers of the game, sends us the following from London:
 Golf here has been by no means so quiet during the war as reported by those who suggest it is half dead. Of course, competitions are sus- pended, but there is plenty of play otherwise, and it is needed as an an tidote to nerve strain. There will be a great boom in the game when peace comes, for its recognized that il is the ideal game for the new con- ditions-a game to play and not to watch; a game for earnest people; a game for meditative moods; and above all a game for freedom and the open country"

LOCALS GET THREE HITS,

Visitors Fill Bases in Fifth Inning
With None Out, But Are I'm
able to Tally.

Great pitching by Harry Harper al
lowed the Nationals to win the second
game of the series with the Red Sox
by a score of 3 to O.
The southpaw from Hackensack per-
formed in a sensational manner. He
held the hard-hitting Carrigans to four
widely scattered hits and did not allow
them a run. His best work was in the
fifth inning, when he filled the bases
with none out and then retired the
side without allowing score.
Gardner opened this inning with a
hit. Harper hit Scott and then walked
Carrigan. filing the bases. He struck
out Leonard. caused Hooper to pop up
to Mcbride and then struck out Barry,
who was sent to bat for McNally. After
that Harper was never in trouble,
though Lewis started the final inning
with a single. Harper then struck
Gamer and Walker and caused Gardner
to pop up to Shanks
Though the Griffmen got only three
hits off Leonard. they made two of
them count for runs enough to win the
game, and then were presented with
another by Gardner, who made a two
base heave, after handling Henry's
grounder, which allowed Rondeau, who
previously had walked, to run home;
1t was in the second inning that the
locals won the game. Shanks started
the inning with a base hit. Williams
sacrificed him to second and Rondeau
was walked, Henry then singled,
scored on McBride's sacrifice fly to
Walker, who threw it into the stand.
The fifth inning was the only one in
which the Red Sox threatened. The
