ON THE FIRST BOUND
.wITn oLERKIN.


 Everybody agreed yesterday that the kaeeys-c -corbin game at St. Mary's field was about as pretty an exhibition as could be witnessed. Sparkling field ing, good pitching and timely hitting abounded.
 Hats are off to Steyt Dudack, for that catch he made yesterday Had that drive of Hubers got away safely, the Corhin team would be cutting up the big end of the purse. No better catch has ever been turned in at St Mary's field, and there never will be one made that counted as much for a kacey team, in a most critical mo- ment.
 Had not Gerry Crean broken Du- dack's pet bat, the day would have been q happy one for Stevie, Never knew Dudack could get as mad as he showed on discovering the bludgeon was dope for.
 That Joe Fitzpatrick was the other big factor in the kaceys win, must not be overlooked Of the four runs scored by the kaceys, Hockey" drove in three of them. He got three singles off Griffen.
 If any of the big league ivory hunt CTS were scouting this way yesterday. there is no doubt but the work of Wojack would have attracted their at- tention. "Chucky" gave as brilliant an exhibition on the defense around third base as could be witnessed. Several of tha opposing batsmen had their averages affected by the lanceny con- mitted by Wojack.
 Day in and day out Budnick, the kaceys third baseman continues to be the shining light of the infeld At the bat Buddy is always to be reckon ed with, as he swings a mean mace, | when there are men on the paths.
 Johnny Sheehan, returned to the | game in kaceys uniform yesterday. playing shortstop He did nice days l work, and managed to get hit.
 Jimmy Green came through at the right moment, with timely hit in the 1 tenth inning that was converted into winning tally. Jimmy was shifted to second base, his natural position, and | he satisfied his most severe critics yesterday, it is to be hoped.
 This boy Preisser plays good game at shortstop, but when it comes to running the bases. he is the prize whizz" on the lot. Yesterday he tried to be sensational in going from sec ond to third on ball hit into the in- field, but Joe Fitzpatrick whipped the ball to Budnick, completing a double play. Another time, the Corbin sfl ort- stop was caught off first base, on a throw by Campbell to Fitzpatrick
 Artie Campbell who jumped into the breach when Manager McConn was having a hard time of it getting a catcher, is playing sweet game be- hind the bat. There is no smarter ball player on either team than Campbell, . and the best part of it is, he don't try to impress the fact on everyone around.
 Captain Ray Begley returned to hit i ting form yesterday, getting two singles. Al. Blanchard was about the busiest man in New Britain between the | hours of 3:2o and 5:50 o'clock yes I terday afternoon Of the 30 putouts, { Al. had 22. a fine days work, we'd $ say. A new record for attendance was set at yesterdays game. While the ticket sale indicated that there was about 1,2oo people on hand, from a rough guess, we would estimate that it was closer to 2,500. The teams will battle again next ( Sunday in the final game of the series. It is probable that Manager Tobin will send Wolf back at the Kaceys, while Mccormick, who was beaten in the first game, may be Manager McConn's pitching selection. The policing al the park was great ly improved yesterday. Before the po- licemen went to the field, they were given some good advice on how to handle crowd by Captain T. w. ! Grace It had the desired effect. The Liongainers defeated the Tigers of Washington street at football yes- terday, to 0. Captain Zisk's touch- back accounting for the tally. I
