 uled to Play Again Today

Resting in third place, Bridgeport tackles Albany ssagain e today in it's drive for second place on the Eastern league ladder. Yesterday the home team won two games from Albany and the battles were featured by the late rallies of the Washers, who won the first game, to 3, by a rally in the eighth and the second contest, 2 to 1, by a rally in the ninth. It was the first two game victory of the sea- son for the Washers.
 Stauffer won the first game by de- feating Scanlon and Hummer won the second by defeating Manager McCor- ry, who started to walk them so fast that he jawed himself out of the game and off the field, and Martin, a Fordham pitcher. Both games were interesting and were featured by some sharp fielding.
 In the first game yesterday the home team scored a run in the open ing inning when Lai walked, went to second on a sacrifice, took third on Emerick's out at first and ta1lied on Ray Grimes hit over third. In the fourth round, Albany put three run ners over when Stauffer became un- steady. With Brausen disposed of, Sweatt singled to left and stole sec ond.

Her ring dribbled one down to Murray, who returned the ball to the plate in time to get Dameron and Donahue, who expected a throw to first for a double killing, kept plodding his way homeward only to be caught be- tween third and home, but was giv- en a life when Lai muffed a throw from Musser and Donahue tallied.
