ADKINS NINE WINS
 FIRST LEAGUE GAME
Herald Team on Short End Of 8
 to ' Score

The Adkins Printing Go, nine de- feated the Herald team in the first game of the Hardware City Industrial league last evening at Walnut Hill park by the score Of & to 7 Owing to late start the game only went seven innings but it was replete with interest all the way through.
 Loose Playing.
 Loose fielding and poor base rur ming caused the downfall of the Her ald nine. and timely hitting by the Adkins battcrs when hits meant runs enabled them 10 nose out on the long end of the score. Tommy Crean, brother to the Herald pitcher, started things going when he connected for a fast one which netted him two bases, and later scored on an error. Three more Of his team mates crossed the platter in the second inning putting the Adkins men ahead by four runs.
 Score is Tied.
 Tn the fourth inning, the Herald swatters started and and led by a three bagger by Gerry Crean, they tied the score. In the ensuing innings. the
  it six to four, but Adkins nosed them out in the sixth putting three across and winning the game.
 Rally Fails.
 In the first of the seventh, the Her. aid team started d rally. With two out, Lawson walked and Murphy ran for him. Crean who was next up. got an inield hit, but Murphy over ran the second sack and was touched out, thereby ending the game and the Herald chances for win.
 Lack of Practice.
 Both teams showed lack of practice, there being many errors on both sides. Hardly any of the ground balls that were hit were covered up by the Her old men, while Adkins infielders got everything that was coming their way. Schmidt, the Adkins hurler pitched good game although he was knicked for a good number of hits. Crean, the Herald finger, besides pitching good game, got four hits out of four trips to the plate, one being three bagger, two being for two bases and the other going for a single.
 Game Protested.
 A protest was entered by Manager Lawlor of the Herald nine because of the use by Adkins of Clancy, an em- ploye of the Hitchcock Bindery Co. At the meeting of the representatives, of the concerns entered in the league, it was stated that the New Britain Record Co., and Adkins Printing Co. would combine into one team. Clancy was regarded as ringer. and the game was played under protest. The question will be settled at the next meeting of the league officials.

FORDHAM CAPTAIN
 BARRED FROM TEAM
McNamara, Pitching Ace, Fired
 for Playing at Waterbury

New York. May l0.--Frank Gar-
 gan, graduate manager Of athletics 1t | l'ordham University, in an official aR-
 nounccmcnt made yesterday, deprived | Tim McNamara. star pitcher and
 senior in the college department of the university, of his position as cap-
 tain of the Fordham varsity baseball | team, dropped him from the squad
 and has had him turn in his baseball
 uniform. This action has been
 taken, according to Gargan, because
 McNamara took part in an unsanc- | toned baseball game played on Easter Sunday in Waterbury, Conn.,, between
 the local Eastern League club and the
 "Fordham Collegians."
 On Monday night Gargan was ap- praised Of the fact that McNamara
 had played in the contest at Water bury. Gargans first steps were to
 summon McNamara and to question
 him. From McNamara Gargan ob- tained an admission that he had actu- ally played with the "FordharA Col legians." Gargan then took action against McNamara with the result that he lost the captaincy of the team,
  to wear a Fordham uniform.
 The first definite bit of information that the undergraduates had that Me- Namara was off the team came when the Fordham baseball squad took the field yesterday afternoon against the team representing Columbia Univer- sty McNamara was not in uniform or on the players bench. but in the gra ndstand in civilian clothes. It had been expected McNamara would occupy the mound against the Blue and White nine.
 A Team Veteran.
 This was McNamara's fourth year on the Maroon nine. Since his freSh- man year, he has been a tower of strength to Fordhams s baseball teams. He had been going along at steady pace this year, having turned in shutout victory over Vermont and an eleven inning to 1 victory over Catholic University Another good game that McNamara pitched this year was Fordhams opening game of the season with Lehigh at Fordham field. on April 5. The game went thirteen innings and Ifordham finally
 lost, 8 to l, but McNamara struck out nineteen of the Lehigh batsmen.
 on the Monday following Easter Sunday when reports in some Of the New York papers had eight Fordham regulars down as playing with the "Fordham Collegians' against Water bury, the men whose names appeared in the lineup of the "Collegians' signed an affidavit to the effect that they had taken no part in the game.
