HIGH POINTS IN PLAYS AND PLAYERS
 IN SHOP LEAGUE

| Three baggers by Lawn and Schul
 theiss and single by Shaw mixed 1T
 with an error and hit batter gave Winchester a four-run lead in the
 opening inning of their game with
 Seamless Rubber Saturday. Seamless
 put up a good game, and gave Win
 chester some anxious moments. Blu.
 benicek lasted seven innings, during
 which time he gave seven hits and
 passed four, after which Murphy
 worked. Gillepie, who pitched his
 seven hits, four of which came in a
 row and with two errors thrown in
 gave Seamless four runs.
 Johnston pitched a fine game for Acme against Geometric, flaming I6
 and allowing five hits. .Geometric
 punched hits in the sixth and tallied five times, and after the smoke had cleared away Johnston retired the side on strikeouts, The result of this game improves the Clock Co. standing, and it loks as if Acme Wire will be the team elected to reduce the leaders percentage.
 Pitcher Izzo plays Sunday ball with the Cubans, but if the two games he has pitched for Peck Bros is fair sample of his work, he is welcome addition to the league. He gave Eastern Machine five hits, no two in an inning, and passed none. .
 Forsythe and Sperry & Barnes played off their postponed game after all the other ball teams were home eating supper and their seven inning agreement went hooey, when four hits including a home run by Cavadini brought in three runs in the seventh, and tied up a game which Sperry & Barnes apparently had tucked away In the ninth inning Forsythe got two men on but no score resulted and S. & B. could do no better in the 10th, two hits producing no runs. In For sythe's half, however, Raffile finished the game in the quickest possible manner, c1outing the first ball pitched for home run, and giving his team 7-6 win.
 Dave Fruen is with us once again. Sargent x Co.,. who have strengthened out the little difficulties that were bothering their team, put over their first win of the season and Fruin be- sides pitching good ball, figured in the game in many ways. Six hits in the first two innings gave Sargent five runs and after adding three more in the fourth the game looked safe.
 National Folding Box had no trou- ble in defeating Greist Mfg. Co., by 7-I. Crossman pitched good ball for the winners, striking out II and giv- ing five hits Smith, a new conner to the Box Shop team, looks like real ball player. Larry McNeil who is recovering from his recent sick ness, was on the bench and expects to get back in the game shortly
 The Clock Shops home run hitting may have been stoppd but they are getting enough other kind of hits to win most any ball game In their game with the Telephone Go. they got to Mcclure and Hill for I6 hits in six innings and aided by numer- ous errors won I5-3. -.
 Light hitting featured Safety Cars | win over Marlin Arms, who were shut out by 30 score. Lynch allowed l the gunmakers three hits, the first | coming in the fifth inning when Orr singled, and the remaining two in the | eighth when Hubeler and Coombs l both hit safely. s.
 The week will see the league reach the halfway mark and the standing | and Whitney Blake, Safety Car and Forsythe all punched in second place. Forsythe have a chance at the lead CTS Saturday and it is unfortunate that this game is scheduled at Rice Memorial, as 1t would draw a much better crowd at Weiss Park or Yale eld. In the American Division New Haven Clock still retains first place and unless Acme Wire can pick them off the first game in July it looks as f they will take the championship without further loss
