 This has been the first season of the Stars. The club was formed at Fort Trumbull Beach last spring by former High school and local players and has been a success from the start.

Pennant Races In
 Majors at a Glance

An upset in the National that gives the Cincinnati Reds a big lead in these ticklish times, and no change in the American-that is the sum ming up of the Labor Day double headers in the big league pennant races.
 TThe Reds came through with two victories over the Cardinals while the Brooklyn Robins were being trounced twice by the Phillies, thus taking the leadership back to Redland. They've opened up a big gap. They gained on the Giants too, for the latter only broke even with the Braves.
 Cleveland beat the Browns twice, the White Sox beat the Tigers twice and the Tanks beat the Athletics twice, so the American League chase is unchanged. It looks as though this pennant race will be decided on Western fields to which the Yankees depart tonight,

NEW HAVEN HERE
 TO HALT MOOSERS
Americans Fighting This Week for Third Place in
 Eastern League.

By7taking two games from Water bury yesterday and one on Sunday, the Bridgeport team has now won three straight games, but they will tackle New Haven, the league lead CTS, today at Newfield Park and as New Haven has been consistent win ners all season the chances seem rather shady for the WaIshmen to continue their winning streak.
 Last week the WalshmenN. were fighting for second place, but they lost so many games that the fight is now on for third place and whether they will finish in that posi- ton or not depends entirely on what they do this week.
 Yesterday morning Waterbury was given a lacing on it's own field, while in the afternoon the visitors were given one of the finest trimmings ever handed out on the local park. E,ixteen hits were the total number of blows collected in the afternoon game, and these were for total of 21 bases. Bracket, Skiff and Ken meth Grimes led the attack on Wat erbury with three hits each.
 The Ameficans piled up one or more runs in each of the first six innings and when the total reached 12 they laid off a bit. House did the twirl- ing for Bridgeport and after he had become warmed up the visitors did nothing in the scoring line.
 Tai made some brilliant stops at third base,- but the feature of the afternoon was turned in by Ken Grimes when he robbed Orr of two ,bagEer in the fifth inning with splendid stop over first base. The play was made so quickly that it is doubtful if Grimes realized he had the ball for a second or two. The score: :-
