 The ninth inning was one of the tightest holes twirler could get | Into. With three men on bases, one of them, being the winning run. Lambert hit sizzler to the infcld and with snap and precision, the I sox showed the natives what a real double killing looked like. This nipped the .Collinsville rally and gave the game to the local team.

 The Pirates also came through | with a win over the Wauregan nine yesterday afternoon. Lefty" Palm CT, although crippled with rheun,a- tism, mounted the slab and pitched | q sweet game. The locals lost no | time in solving the delivery of the | opposing pitcher.
 The Falcons turned a neat trick yesterday by taking the Hartford | Herrups into camp. They did what | the strong Besse-Leland nine could l not do the past two seasons and that was to beat the. Capitol city | nine in their first appearance in this | city. The locals were playing a championship game of ball and | Kania was twirling in big league style. \

 The high school game of satur- day against the Hartford high nine is a puzzle to most fans who watched the contest. Coming through the game into the seventh inning with what appeared an easy victory, the locals seemed to lose heart and literally gave the game away. .-. sat

 Larrgy Mangan, who was umpir- ing, was faced with one of the strangest situations ever seen on a diamond. With a man on second. the batter got hit through the pitchers box, sending the runner from second to home. Conln, who was playing in the center garden, threw for home. Lefty" Haber in the box. seeing that the throw was late, stopped it and threw quickly to first. catching the batter, who had overrun the bag.
 This made the third ont but Oar row, who was playing third, called for the ball and called the umpire's attention to the fact that the man who had scored had failed to touch third base. Larry had seen the run ner cut the bag and when Darrow received the oakland touched third base he declared that the run did not count. This started big argu- ment, but Larry held to his point and after a time the game resumed. !
 There is no rule to cover this point. but Mangan was right in his decision, because the general rule in baseball that states that a man can not advance a base on an illegat play covers the situation. The fact that the runner did not touch third base was an illegal play. Then, de- spite the fact that there were al- ready three outs, the run could not count because the play was illegal. This is a peculiar situation and one that doesn't come up very often.
