 Boys Club-Nathan Hale
 The Boys club and Nathan Hales, who went to II to fl tie in last weeks game Tn the New Britain Boys league, played of that dead lock at Walnut Hill park yesterday afternoon and after the usual snap py game, which IS the rule rather than the exception in this circuit, the former emerged a 20 10 , win ner
 The Boys club team won because Anderson hurled a. pretty game, be- cause the individual members were on their toes all the time and be- cause they were imbued with the old winning spirit from start to fin- ish. They kept picking away at the offerings of Mancerella and while they were doing so, his mates were making errors, not so many of con, mission but whole pile of omission. Both teams were full of scrap and pep when the game started and neither of these fine attributes were forgotten at any time. The winners won because they were the more alert and took opportunity when 1t came along. The losers did not get so much smiling from Dame For tune.
 There was some daisy playing by individual lads. Gottowalla turned in a game behind the plate that would do credit in any league. His catching was superb. But at that it only shaded the work of Garro of the Boys club. But the feature was the pitching of Anderson. He was In hot water occasionally, but he did not get worried. There were some stellar fielding plays contribut- ed by Baylock, Boehnert. Bcllomo, Camp and Wasnick.
 The hitting was confined to those Texas league slaps, with the eXcep- ton of one, that a home run by Potts, who caught one on the nose drove 1t on line over third and made the circuit just as 1t landed In the catcher's mitt on the return tourney. Though the score shows q large number of stolen bases, most of them were the result of anxiety and overanyiety rather than on the catchers.
 Bellomo, the half-pint captain of the Nathan Hales pulled the hidden ball trick and got Boys club rum ner, The game was played in an hour and 40 minutes and whoever says that aint speed" is away off.
 John Mickey" Noonan made his first appearance as league umpire He may have worked harder behind the plate in the years he has been catching righthanders and those not so right, but it is good bet that he never worked faster. For when those youngsters, who make up the clubs in this league start to play ball they do 1t with a dash and vim all the way There are no idle mo- ments. Action it is from the first bitch until there are three out In | the ninth.
