AMONG THE PLAYERS


 last years champions quite scare
 Safety Car got to Murphy in the fifth and scored six runs, but Seamless still
 hung on and scored five more runs,
 the game finally ending o-8 in favor of the Safet1es, too close to be even Ipleasant for a pennant contending Iteam. Errors predominated, eight for Seamless and six for Safety, but both lLynch and Murphy pitched good Igames. l Al Barrows, who during the war Iperiod pitched Tn the Remington Arms League, bobbed up at Lighthouse with the Greist team, and did re- markably we'll considering it was his first game of the season. He gave Peck Bros. hits, but loose fielding behind him lost the game. The game was marked by some nice hitting par ticularly that of A. Knowlton who connected with a triple and double for the winners, while Mellillo with three, and Larry McNeil with two, got the major portion of the losers hits.
 Pete Callandrello blossomed out as a pitcher for Whitney Blake Satur- N. D. hits and struck out I2.. The winners expense of Garrity, who was touched for r hits, many of them being long distance.
 Cy Morgan, who is recovering from an operation for appendicitis, got back in the game and his three hits included brace of triples, while A. lCallandrello missed homer with his three hits.
 Winchester still hangs on to first place ,and they turned back Sargents by the score of Al. The game was pretty even all around, but three base hits by Cammarano and Bunnell, and four errors by Sargents was enough to ensure Winchester the game. Gar gano still looks as good as any of them behind the bat, and besides catching his usual good game, cracked out a pair of two-base hits.
 New Haven Clock and Eastern Ma chine Screw staged twilight game at Yale Field that was as interesting as any played this season, and served to show that the Clock Shop have in side baseball knowledge to spare. Twice they squeezed in runners, and never failed to take a bag if 1t was uncovered. and altogether out gener- a1ed the losers. Hansen pitched a good game and helded his position good, but lot of dumb plays were made behind him. The Clock Shop had number of errors, but the errors their, opponents made are not the kind 4t. ,l, A1, L cept when totalling the, runs. Lundin started the game for the winners, but Jimmy Dunn relieved him in the fifth inning, although Lundin had a good lead at the time. The Clocks included five two-baggers i'll nine hits off Han sen, while Wehner and Albinger each with a two-base hit, got the only ex- tra base hits for the losers.
 Herman Anderson put almost enough players out for the Telephone Co. and National Box game for two teams, but this did not stop the slaughter, and with Crossman in good form the Box Makers had no diff culty in winning by a one-sided score. Sixteen hits were collected off Maher and Mulligan, while Crossman, allow ing seven, struck out Y, this making his third game of the season where Y had the s. o. sign placed against their name.
 Wehner of the Eastern Machine Screw club is developing into splen- did first baseman He Is fielding for .o8I and leads his team in hitting, run scoring and base stealing A couple of seasons more in Industrial ball should see him go higher up.
 The Danbury club, since Wana- makers withdrawal, is looking for a shortstop. He has to be good to sat isfy the Danbury fans.
 Acme Wire disposed of Geometrie, o-o, the other evening, and honors of the game were divided between John son and Eckles. The former allowed the heavy hitting Geometrics only 3i hits ,while Eckles did some heavy hit ting, getting a pair of three-baggers | and a double O'Connell and Lin coin, the winners leading batters, kept up their gait, each getting two hits.
 With Geometrics out of the way, 1t l looks like Acme will have to be sat isfed with second place, unless some one trips up N. H. Clock, in the next l two game which is hardly probable. i In the National Division Winchester and Safety Car Twill probably have to play off to settle the title
 Fuller Brush and Johns Pratt meet this week to decide the Hartford In- dustrial championship, and the win ner will participate in the 1nterCity 1 series between Bridgeport, Springfield and New Haven
