HARTFORD FOR WEEK END GAMES

Baseball fans Of Eastern Connect
cut are promised two Of the fastest
games Of the season this week end
when the Norwich X of c., club plays
New. Haven, champions Of the East
ern league at the Fairgrounds on Sat
urday. and on Sunday plays the Hart
ford Eastern league club.
Manager O'Leary of the Kaceys VINO
was in New Haven and Hartford Mon
day and made arrangements for both
games, has the promise of both clubs
that regular teams are to be brought
for the week end games.
The New Haven lineup will include
the regular players with the excep-
ton of Frank Woodward, star pitch
er of the team, who is to don the uni
form of the Norwich team on this
day and pitch against his former team
mates.
In securing the New Haven team
for Saturdays game the X. of c. has
brought here the strongest team the
eastern league has seen in many
year, and one which by winning 100
fames this season has broken previ-
nus season records for a champion
team Of the league. Sport writers in
picking the All-Star Eastern league
team have picked six of the New Hav-
en- players as follows: Bowman, lst
batting 1853; Malone End, batting Isl;
Riconda 3rd. batting 1855; Earys, IF.
batting .SS1; Johnny Cooney and
Frank Woodward, pitchers.
In winning the Eastern League pen
nant sport writer's say that New Hav-
en- had too many good pitchers, and
too hard a hitting team, one with a
season average of .304 and the team
in the league had no chance.
Against this fast, hard hitting team
the Kaceys will send in Woodward
who has record of % victories and
IL defeats for the season and a pitch
ing average of .s57; the best average
in the league for a pitcher with IS
or more games pitched during the
season. The K. of c. team will also
be strengthened in the outfield with
the securing Of CosgroveAof Water
bury who has hit the apple for .2S3
this season, and by Schmehl also of
the Waterbury club at short, who has
hit for PSI. Other changes are to be
announced later.
In Sundays game the Hartford club
viii come here strengthened in some
departments by the adding of such
men as Lavallee of the Worcester club
in the outfield. player who has tack
ed the pill for 1921 this season. and
by MCGOWAN OF Connie Mack's Ath-
letics.
For Sundays game the Kaceys will
send in Fortune as pitcher, and the
fans know that in Fortune the Kacey
club ill have a man capable of do
ing more than mis- share to beat the
Capitol City club. Fortune has been
going =eea. all season for the Spring
field team having won Is games and
IosI 10 an average Of SAB, and was the
only man on his cam to make the
All-Star Eastern league team. With
a greatly strengthened team back OF
him Sunday, Fortune will give the
Hartford team plenty to do to win
The Kacey team in its past fodr games
all of which they have won, has DEM
onstrated its hitting ability and there
IS not a fan in this section of the
state that would fail to credit the
Kaceys as a real ball club. Five Of
the Kacey players who will play this
week end have hit against Bader Can
avan, and Bennett for an average OF
over 800 and have always come across
with the hit when 1t was needed.
