Local Mainstay Twirls Americans to 2-1 Victory Over Big League Team Allows But Two Hits Sherwood Wins Game With Single in Tenth Sava and Skiff Star at the Bat.

The Americans played as good a
 game yesterday as they have this year
 and as result they defeated the
 Pittsburgh Pirates by the score of
 2-1. The local team showed the old
 pep that won many of their games
 this season and stayed in the fight
 till they conquered. Kid Sherwood
 was the big man for the local team
 by knocking out a single in the tenth
 inning with the bases choked, bring ing Andy Vim in with the final coun-
 ter necessary to annex the pastime to
 the lists of the Bridgeport club.
 The Pirates had six of their regu-
 lars in the lineup but Max Carey
 and Southworth. the boy who is play
 ing great ball in the big league this year, were missing. This disappofnt-
 ed the crowd a little but they were
 given a great treat by the aggressive playing of both teams.
 Manager Ray Grimes was missing from the local lineup but his place
 was filled by Schwartz, who although
 he f1elded in great style, he did not own the hitting power of Ray. Sava played in the center garden in place or anu -COllGCl6O lNO D4llS1SSs Aleck Ferguson was on the mound for l the Americans and showed that he is still pitching the brand of ball that made him one of the best pitchers in the Eastern League. Aleck held the big leaguers to two bingles though he was never in trouble beside the sixth | inning when the visitors scored their lone run.
 Hill was picked by Manager Bezdek i to oppose the locals and the Ameri-
 cans touched his delivery for seven | hits. two of them being triples by Skiff and Lai.
 The visitors were the first to score in the sixth inning. Boone reached
 first on Lai's wild heave. Leach sac rificed him to second. Bigbee was | given free ticket. Hinchman lined to Andy Vim, who made a neat
 catch. Boone then stole third and counted when Bill Skiff threw to l Sherwood to get Bigbee stealing sec l ond. Sherwood made a wild heave l back to Skiff to but Boone off. The locals tied the pastime in the eighth. Cutshaw made an error of
 Howie Bakers grounder. Schwartz
 hit the air three times. Bill Skiff came through with three bagger to
 the left field fence and Baker counted
 Bill was caught between third and home when Andy Vim bunted and the
 runners got the signals mixed. The Americans put over the decid' | ing tally in the tenth. Schwartz and skiff both grounde out. Cutshaw er-
 rored Yim's grounder and Andy
 reached first. Sava hit a one base | drive to left field and Vim took sec ond. Both runners advanced a base
 when Ferguson was given free | ticket At this point of the game Sher.
 wood done the hero act by knocking
 a single to left, scoring Andy Vim with the tally that sent the big leaguers down to defeat at the hands | of the Americans. The score:

Private Joseph Colesanti Was Wound
 ed Four Times at Seicheprey.

Private Joseph Colesanti, Com pany F., 102d Infantry, has just re- turned from France and is now at his home at i Ann street. He fought in the battle of Seicheprey and was wounded four times in that struggle. He bears the marks Of wounds in his left thigh, in the left and right foot, and a bullet grazed his forehead. He will probably be crippled for the rest of his life, as the bones in his foot are smashed.
 He speaks highly Of the example set by Captain Griswold. He says that 220 men went into the battle and only 80 came out. He wears one wound stripe, although he was wounded four times but the fact is he went to the dressing station only once. He lay for six hours unconscious after being wounded in the head.

NEW BRITAIN AWAY
 BEHIND IN DRIVE
Only Little More Than Third Of
 Quota Raised Thus Far

The Red Cross membership drive was carried into the factories today and will continue there tomorrow, winding up tomorrow night. Every factory in town is being covered in the same manner as the United War Work campaign and the Liberty Loan drive. Only a little over one third of the quota for New Britain has been secured so that today and tomorrow are bound to be the busiest of the en- tire roll call week. Every ounce of effort must be put forth to carry the drive through to the desired end Workers were out all day Sunday. but they were handicapped by the bad weather, so the day was not as pro- ductive. of as good results as it other wise would have been. The whole success of the campaign depends up- on today and tomorrow. Everybody should act as a self constituted com mittee of one to help New Britain reach her quota of 30, 0,000 member ships, and with that sort of co-opera- tion it will be easy.
 The Canvassers are requested to re- port at once to either their ward captains or else to the headquarters at No. 297 Main street. kensington is the first to report going over the top with 505 mem berships.
