Teams Will Clash in Hart ford This Afternoon Grimes Praises Club Baseball News.

With this mornings game over the Bridgeport Americans and Senators made close connections with a Hart ford train headed for the Capital where this afternoon the second of the two-game series of the holiday will be played.

 Manager Grimes. in spite of re- verses the team has suffered at var ious times during the past three weeks. feels that he has the best team on the circuit. Defensively the Bridgeporters have been playing g. spectacularly wonderful game from every angle. However, they have rubbed up against the best twirlers in the circuit and have been mighty lucky to get away with what hits were credited them.
 Tomorrow afternoon at Newfleld park the Hartford contingent, minus Danny Murphy, who was given his walking papers the other day, will meet the locals in the third game O. the series. On Sunday afternoon the Worcester aggregation will appear Eere in a game of which much Is ex- pected.

The Middle West has a sch oolboy by the name of Allan Woodring, who Is credited with running 220 yards in 21 1-5 seconds. Woodring was the sensation of the interscholastic world last year.
 The entries which have been re- ceived for the annual spring games of the New York Athletic club to be held at Travers Island on Saturday, June 2, already exceed those received by the club for any meet since the
 beginning of the war.
 The plan of the Winged Foot or ganization to name each event in honor of some member of the club who made the supreme sacrifice in
 the fight for justice and liberty has
 met with universal approval.
 Among the entries for the New
 York Athletic club games are those
 of Loren Murchison, the St. Louis
 sprinter, in the 100 and 22O yard
 dashes. It is rumored that the sprint
 marvel will wear the colors of the New York club.
 c. Erdman of Princeton will be a starter in the 12O-yard hurdle race at the big Travers Island meet. He will be opposed by Fred Key and there is every indication that a start ling performance will result Erdman says that he is in shape to make a new record.
 Jack Sellers will get back into ac- | ton again at the New York Athletic club games. The indoor middle dis tance champion will take a crack at the S80-yard run and will have as l one of his opponents Larry Scudder,
 clubmate. A great race should re- suit. With Andy Kelly and Bernie We fers, Jr., competing in the 100 and 22O yard runs, Murchison is going to have the work cut out for him. The trio are training at Travers Island every afternoon. All are running | near record time.
 This tournament has been pro- gressing with exceptionally high class | performances by the embryo baseball i champions. Many of the games have been exceedingly close, and it is aI- | most impossible at the present time | to pick a winner of the individual 1 sections.
