HERE'S ANOTHER ONE
Nathan Hale and Smalley School Teams Again Argue Battle Over Touching The Bases.

The baseball game between the Nathan Hale school nine and the Smalley school team will apparently never be finished due 10 the fact that so many arguments crop up during the innings that the players refuse to keep on. A second irl- stance of the fight being waged be- tween these two teams was had last night in a contest staged 10 decide the supremacy of the mines.
 The entire difficulty seems to be the fact that when the teams get to- gether. they are unable to secure an umpire to decide momentous Ques- tions and when the games are play cd, it seems that some Smalley school player does not touch one of the bases in the course of his trip around the diamond. Only short time ago, these two came 10 death grips and with the Nathan Hale school nine leading, one of the Small ley men got a home run with men Ol anu ns tlICltu lle pdScS' hc Nathan Hale school team claimed that the runner did not touch first base and he was therefore out. Nc decision was rendered in the news paper offices regarding this game other than that the teams should not play without an umpire.
 Last night in the fourth inning the same argument cropped up again. One Of the Smalley school players got hit and he did not, ac- cording 10 the Nathan Hale school team members, touch second base They declared he was out the Small ley school players and he was safe There was no umpire, so right then and there. the game broke up. These two teams should get together, get a rope, lassoo an umpire, tic him tc the diamond and then go on and play their game.

|GOLF|NG STARS ID
 START TOMORROW
Seek Most Coveted Honor oi the Links at Worcester Course

Worcester. Mass, June 2 (AP)- Ninety-fve star golfers, among whom are only two outstanding amateurs, will begin at the Worces-- ter Country club tomorrow the an nual 72-hole medal play for the most coveted honor of the links in the United States-the national open golf championship. Two rounds Will be played tomorrow and two Thurs day.
 In sectional qualifying rounds five became eligible to play from the Pacific coast, 90 from the middle west and 60 from the east, although the eastern qualifying district em- braced some of the south and near midwest. Cyril Walker of Engle- wood, N, J.. who won the title last year at Oakland Hills, was eligible without passing preliminary test.
 The only one of the cigibles who has indicated that he will not com pete is. Robert A. Gardner of Chi cago, former amateur champion. His withdrawal leaves only two noted amateurs-Bobby Joneaof Alt lanta, and Francis Ouimet Of Bos- ton, each of whom has won the open and amateur titles in the past. Ouimet's game recently has not been up to his former standard, but Jones i'm improving with maturity, and as usual is one of the favorites. Only yesterday he did a remarkable 66 ih practice on the Worcester course.
 Walter Hagen, who has often shown his ability in the pinch, play ing par or less serenely at the finish while the nervous strain is rolling up the scores of his rivals, is sure | Lady Luck is with him in this tournament. He did a hole in one here yesterday--the first ace of his career
 Bill Mehlhorn of Chicago, who led the country's qualifiers with 71-66-l37 for the 36-hole prelim mary test, likes his chances to win the title for the first time. Worces. ter Is an inland course, such as he is used 10.
 Preliminary speculation about the winner centers on Mehlhorn, Jones Hagen and Mcdonald Smith, whose 70-70--140 on the difficult Lido course was the best score of the eastern qualiflers, and who won the north snd south open this spring
 Team matches this afternoon be tween east and west players will b' a pre-tournamcnt feature.
 The pairings are more or less ar bitrary without regard to geography In the feature match Walker ant Hagen will play Jones and Ouimet

Philadelphia, June ,. Connis Mack Is smiling again. It's been a long time between smiles with Connie.
 Comics last real laugh was in 1914, when his team won the American league pcnnant.
 However, 1t lost the world series in four straight games to the Bos- ton Braves. The defeat of tho Ath letics was the greatest upset that has ever featured baseball.
 Each defeat in that series brought a frown to Mack. When it was over the map Of Cornelius was decidedly wrinkIed. He has been drowning ever since.
 That winter he wrecked his once great ball club. selling most of his stars to the highest bidder. There was too much remorse connected with the 1914 series 10 go along with the same team, He decided tc rebuild.
 For seven years, in an effort tt get together new team, his strategy and endeayor brought nothing mort than a tail-end berth in the majors
 In his eighth attempt he emerged from the basement and has beer making progress ever since.
 Mack is now sitting on the top o' the world. For the first time in 1( years he actually believes he has an excellent chance 10 win tht American league championship.
 q have good ball club" say' Mack. Tt was good last year. predicted we would finish second We didn't. The ability was there but the club lacked confidence.
 "ln the south l shouted from the housctops that all my club needed was the will to win, believe in its ability.
 Tt has suddenly acquired that much needed asset. l am not saying we are gong 10 Wln the peNndht but if we don't, we will have a lo' to say as to who does.
 What team do regard as mos dangerous? Washington. It has the spirit and harmony and proper re- spect for it's manager, Stanley liar | ris.
 The team that wins the Amcri can league pennant must bea the Washington club. It plays smar 1 baseball.
 New York and Detroit have dis appointed. However, don't vast sympathy on them. These two club should shortly strike their strid and be up where they belong.
 Keep you eye on the Chicag White Sox. Eddie Collins seem destined to be as great a manage as player There never was a bet ter second baseman. Chicago is tn dark horse, as they say of the tear that no one picked 10 show"

STRONG MAN OF MERIDEN :
 HURLS DEFI AT YENTRIES
Phil Brigando Wishes to Try Conclu- sions on the Mat With the
 Berlin Blacksmith.

Phil Brlgando, physical culture ex- pert and strong man of Meriden has hurled a challange at Al Ventries Of Berlin for q bout 10 be staged in the near future. Brigando would prefer to wrestle Teddy the Greek, but he will stake his prowess against the Berlin man provided arrangements can be made. Teddy the Greek is another Meriden man, the genial proprietor of the Coney Island Hot Dog stand in the center and he con- siders himself an exponent of the art of the ancients and has shown many times in travelling shows, where the barker shouts his offer 10 the man who can stay three minutes, etc"
 There has been long standing feud between the two Meridenites as to who holds the supremacy in the gentle art of grappling, and to date, no real decisive match has been staged between these two. Ventries is well known in these parts as the man who has met all corners in his CldSS anu ido uoNHcu thNiii' AlO ID q blacksmith in the town 10 the south and Is considered clever by all those who follow the wrestling game.
 Ventries, at the last match staged between Brigando and Teddy the Greek, viewed their work and then posted $100 as a forfeit to back ur his claim that he would be able to throw Teddy the Greek twice in ar hour and Brigando three timees ir the same space of time.
 Evidently this statement on the part of the Berlin blacksmith has ncttled the strong man from Meri' den, hence the def hurled in tho Berlin mans teeth. There seems tt be some idea in the Meriden man' mind that he stands a chance tt overcome the willy skill of Ventries but there are many who have viewed the two of them to state that Brigan do will be as soft clay in the hands Iof Ventries.
 There is no doubt but that Ven tries will quickly accept the chal lenge of Brigando an dthis matcf will probably be the next card on thu wrestling events in this section. Bri gando has expressed his preference for a match with Teddy but there | a strong rumor. to the effect tha the Greek has retired from the ma to devote all his time to his hot dot stand.

ITO FORMALLY OPEN
 RECREATION FIELD
Two Snappy Ball Games to Dedicate North End Diamond

Tonight at 5:s0 o'clock, Lsndefs' Recreation field on Stanley street will be formally opened by officials of the, company and the athletic neid will bs dedicated with two smart ball games between teams in tho inter-department factory league, The ceremonies of the opening Will be in charge of officials of the com pany and of the Universal club and n large number of the employes Of the factory plants in this city will be on hand 10 watch the affairs.
 Transportation is beipg arranged for all those not having cars who wish to attend the ceremonies. and refreshments will be served by the Universal club at the field.
 The first game of ball is scheduled to start promptly at 5:30 o'clock and will be between the fast stepping F'latware and II. & B. teams. Those in on the know in these games state that the H. &s R. men will come through with a win.
 The second game gives promise oI being one Of the best this season. II will be between the Shipping room and the Trade shop. This will be the first meeting between these two, and the rivalry is very keen. Both squads have been putting in stiff I practice sessions and the Trade shop with Fortier their mainstay in the box, are confident that they will have q win over the Shipping room Both games will be played along the flvc-inning route.
 This is one Of the best moves ever made in this city in the interests of athletics. The generosity of the fac tory officials in purchasing the field and making the ball diamond there with a field that can be made prac- ticable for football, is highly appre- ciated by the employees interested in sports. The factory league teams have been hard pressed to keep their schedule intact because of the lack of playing fields in the city and the new Recreation field will solve this problem satisfactorily for all con, cerned,
 The 1cd itself is a beautiful spo directly across the road from the new Nofth End park. It is place that is, well adapted to sports. It is level and grassy and can well b. utilized W the players and thei friends during the summer months for ball games, picnics and field sports and perhaps in the future f the factory has a baseball team f. represent it outside teams may b brought in weekly to furnisn spo
 for the fans of the city.
