TEAMS SET
 FOR ANNUAL CLASH
Meriden and New Britain Blue
 Coats Start Series Tomorrow

The annual dual clash between baseball teams of the Meriden and New Britain police departments will start tomorrow in Meriden at Han over park. The second game of the series will be played in this city at near future date.
 The New Britain team has ceen out every day for the past several weeks working out at Walnut Hill park and the team has been round- ed into fine shape for the fray. The Meriden bIuecoats have also been practicing strenuously for the com ing two battle and they confidently expect 10 repeat last years victories over the local department.
 Last year, it will be remembered, the teams battled to a 4 10 score with Meriden in the lead and the game ended in a near riot and to- mprrow's game will, attract a large number because of the fire and spirit which may crop out agan this year. New Britain got an even break in 1924 taking the first game by 16 to fl score. The team is out to wipe the slate clean this year and Paddy O'Mara will see to 1t that things are right when the team swings into action.
 The pitching selections have been announced. Billy Kline will twirl for the Silver City nine while Lefty" Palmer will do his stuff for the Hardware City These two opposed each other in the hectic battle stag ed last year but they did not face one another in the closing fray. Ths Meriden pitcher had the better of the argument by shade, but such will not be the case this year, the locals say.
 Detective Sergeant Billy McCus has had some of his sleuths scout ing for Meriden's goat and he promises to produce the animal to- morrow. Without a doubt, Meriden will have a sad bund of patolmen on their beats tomorrow night and woe betide the law breakers who are caught because they will bs sure to take it out on them.
 New Britain will lineup as fola lows: O'Mara, c: Lefty" Palmer, p; Slim" Politis, 1b; Carroll, 2b: Big John" Veley. ss; Tommy Blan- chard, 3b; and Tommy" Feeney. Pete" Cabelus and Kumm in the outfield. Meridens slate will not be announced until just prior to the game.

MICKEY WALKER GETS
 DECISION OVER FREEDMAN
Worlds Welterweight Champion Rushed of His Feet in the
 Last Three Rounds

Chicago, Aug. 25 UP - Mickey Walker, worlds welterveight cham pion, had the better of Sailor Freedman of Chicago in seven rounds of their ten round bout at East Chicago last night, newspa per men decided.
 But after Freedman. in the eighth. recovered from the effects of knock down in the first ten seconds of the bout, he staged a whirlwind comeback that threaten cd 10 even things up.
 So thrilling were the last three rounds of milling that one spectator of the $500 present, collapsed and died, presumably of heart disease.
 A short right to the chin from Walker knocked Freedman through the ropes in the first round and took much of the fight out of him. In the eighth, the Chicagoan chased the champion into a corner, hitting him with rights and lefts. Once, in the last two rounds, Freedman turned Walker half way around with right to the chin.
 Walker weighed 150 pounds and Freedman 151. An eight round pre- lminary between Tut Jackson, Negro heavyweight of Washington Court House, Ohio, and Charley Anderson, Chicago Negro, was stop ped by the referee in the fifth on the grounds that Jackson was not trying.

BOY TEAMS ENGAGE
 IN SLUG MATCHES
Paradise Park and Washington
 Both Win by Big Scores
League Standing

The third last set of games 10 be played in the Boys league this year resulted in two slugfests at Walnut Hill park yesterday The contests had been postponed from last Fri day on which da y rain prevented play. The two league leaders Para. disc Park and Washington, showed that they arc out 10 win the re- maining scheduled games and they pounded away yesterday to win by a large score from the Nathan Hale and Burritt teams. No change was recorded in the standing except that Nathan Hale sunk down to a, tie with Smith for second last place and Burritt went deeper into the mire.
 Nathan Halc- c-Washington.
 The Washington team in the Boys league smothered the Nathan Hale team under an avalanche of base hits to take another game in the league yesterday by the score of 26 to 10. There was nothing 10 it at any stage of the contest but Washington and Nathan Hale never even threaten ed.
 Curylo, speed artist of the Wash ington nine, and Macarello of the Na- than Hales, opposed each other, and while the former was not touched for very many hits, he was wild and walked a number of batters which sent his opponens' score sky rocket ing. Macarella started to pitch a good game, but repeated errors by his mates took the heart out of him and Washington kept pounding away to pile Up its big score.
 Washington got away to an early lead by scoring four in the first, three in the second, two in the third and two more in the fourth, while the best that Nathan Hale could do vas to squeeze over two in the sec ond and one in the third. Washing ton kept on slugging in the sixth and got four more; they pounded out five in the eighth and came through with six more in the ninth.
 Nathan Hsle's big inning came in the seventh, when Curylo developed streak of wildness. An error by the center fielder, two fielders' choices, a single and three base clout by Potts, sent in five runs. Two more came in in the eight, but this was all Nathan Hale could do to make a showing.
 Curylo gave way to Chodukiewicz in the eight and he pitched himself out of a tight hole with only two runs scored on him.
 Sapko and Todzia outstripped the rest in hitting, getting four bingles apiece, while Wesoly, kowalewski, Bogdanski and Chodukiewicz got three apiece. Jervis was the heavy sticker for Nathan Hale, while "Jim- my" Bellomo was the star afield, get- ting nine chances at shortsaop with only one blob.
 This makes the third last set of games in the boys league which will come to a close on Friday. The score:

CHANGE TO MAKE MARK .
Rogers Hornsby Cardinals Manager, Might Establish New National Homer Record.

St. Louis, Aug, 25. P}-The pre- sent home run record for the Nation al League is 42, made by Rogers Hornsby of the Cards back in 1922,
 But at the rate this same Rogers Hornsby is travelling this season it wouldn't be surprising to see new mark hung up for the circuit.
 With some 50 games yet to be played, Harnsby has 31 four-sackers to his credit. He needs only dozen more to smash the existing figure. And with the feat within his reach he's quite apt to go out and put it across.
