 day. On the bases, they failed 10 even give the semblance of know ing what to do,
 Strange as 1t may seem, the big noises of the game failed miserably when it came 10 d pinch. Zeilke was the outstanding bust of the series. He was brought into the Pirates lineup 10 take the place Of Beagle, .gular first baseman who Is out with bad rupture, but Beagle would have. we think. showed more than zeilke showed at any time dur ing the two games.
 Eddie" Goeb was the one bright shining star of the Pirates team yesterday and he also played the game for all 1t was worth last Sun day. Eddie yesterday was bear In the outfield and at bat made it known that he was there all the time.
 Jasper failed at short stop by making & number of bad errors. but his hitting sort of redeemed him yes terday.
 Kensington had the spirit all the way through yesterday and they could not be beaten at the rate they were travelling. At times, "Slim" Politis wobbled, but his team was there behind him and they shut off runs that might have done some damage.
 It is rumored about that this may be the last of the Pirates as team. but we hope not. The team has stuck together for number of years and has always been to the front in the running and it would be missed should 1t disband at the present time. Just because the team goes into series and loses. does not mean that the team is no good and If this attitude is being taken by the Pirates, then they should get rid of k right away.
 Everyone goes into a slump. And there is no doubt but what the Pirates were in a bad slump during the contests with Kensington. Then, why should a classy ball team like the Pirates take two defeats so 10 heart that they talk about disband- ing?
 Let the Pirates not forget that there are other seasons coming and although they may feel discouraged at the present time, time will heal their wounds and we hope to see them out there again next year put ting across their game as they have in the past.
 The Corbin Eed Sox and the fal- cons staged ont of those games you read about yesterday. It was pret- ty pitching duel between Berg and Kania and either side could have won. The breaks of the game gave the Red Sox the edge, but the Fal- cons are still ready to go back again next Sunday 10 clean them up. One Of the largest crowds that has turned out to watch a ball game in Snany years was at St. Mary's field yesterday and neither side lacked rooters.
 The Red SoX and the Falcons will go at it again next Sunday at St. Marv's field and should the Red SoX come through with win, then the finals will be staged between them anl the Kcnsington team.
 We refer those who said there wasn't enough interest in title series 10 the attendance figures for both the St. Mary'S field and the Percival avenue grounds yesterday. Next Sunday, there will he larger crowds present at the game and it will hold inc interest of the entire town.
 The Corbin Red SoX will practice tomorrow night at 6:S0 o'clock at Walnut Hill park and again Thurs day night at 6:So o'clock at St. Mary's field. Coach John Tobin will attempt to solve the riddle of why 20 many Red SoX players were stranded on the sacks yesterday.
 Coincidence is being expressed by both Herman and Louis Ckidl Rap Ian over their chances for the bout which happens 10 take place in Brassco park Thursday night. Both fighters arc getting in shape for the battle and they will give as good an exhibition as has ever been seen in this section when they meet.
 Kaplan ruled the favorite in the betting but Herman does not lack for packers in New York. Reports from the Metropolis state that there arc droves Of fans coming down to Waterbury to watch the action in the bout and that the majority of them favor Herman to win.
 We sill figure that kapan is the best bet for Thursday night. This may moi, be agreed 10 by all, but our personal opinion is that the fcatherwcight championship will re- main in Connecticut.
 In saying this. we do not mean to ssv that Eaplan is walking in the ring 10 take one punch at Herman
