'GASCOS GIVE IRON
 WORKERS BEATING
Meter Readers Teach RiYet Singers How to Play Baseball

There's gang of iron workers who have been engaged In erecting gas house for the New Britain Gas Light Go. on Cherry street who thought they could play ball who know lot different after a trounc- ing they received last evening at St. Marys field from Jim Lynch's Gascos.
 The meter readers started out in the first inning on one of the worst hitting orgies they have indulged in this year and when they had stop ped the score showed that they had blanked the iron workers to the tune Of g 10 0.
 The heavy artillery of the Gascos was in rare form while Jim Me- Cormick kept the iron workers humbled all throughout the game. The workers might be good at sling ing rivets and swinging beams but Macs shoots came up so fast last night that the batters couldn't see them for smoke Besides allowing only two hits, Mac sent nine of his opponents back to the bench via the strike out route, he allowed but two bases on balls and hit two batsmen.
 Barnes, right fielder for the meter readers, was the outshining star at the bat with Stevie Dudack close behind him. Barnes got three out of four, including two 2-baggers and a triple while Dudack got a two base ply and a three bagger, the latter with three men on.
 Stevie got real sore with the root CTS kidding him. In the third he came 10 bat with the sacks loaded and with the we'll known raspberry patch sending out shouts of Come on, let's see you hit it." Stevie grit ted his teeth and landed on one of Gould's offerings sending the ball close 10 the cemetery. Stevie could have made home on the hit, but when he reached third he was too tired. Stevie has had an addition 10 his family lately and it is thought that he has to walk the floor nights, keeping him from getting his sleep.
 Johnny Sheehan connected for the four bases and they say the ball landed on a freight going east and is probably in Northampton by now. The Gascos will probably play the Rule Shop next Tuesday evening,
 The summary:

BUSY WEEK.ENDFO FOR
 LOCAL BALL CLUBS
Mines Getting Up Steam as Sea. son Progresses Through Summer

New Britain baseball fans will be treated to all sorts of baseball over the weekend according to the schedule Of local ball clubs. Tomor- row, the City league will furnish the excitement when the teams resume play after more than a week layotf, while the independent ball clubs will disport at home and foreign dia- monds over Sunday.
 Tomorrow at 2 o'clock on diamond No. l, the Burritts and Orioles will come to death grips The Burritts are leading the league and the Orioles are boasting that they will set the tleaders down. The Burritts went through a snappy practice last night and feel fit for the tussle to- morrow afternoon. On diamond No. at o'clock, the Rangers will play the Dragons, At o'clock on dia- mond No. 1. the P, & F, Corbin team will stack up against the Fal- con Reserves. These three battles should be worth watching.
 The Pirates start off tomorrow liter a layoff and will play the In slices of Meriden, rated as one of the fastest clubs in this section of the state. The 1nsilcos have vic tory registered over the Corbin Red Soy and word comes from the Sl- yer City that they expect to take a fall out of the Corsairs. On Sunday. the Pirates will settle an argument with Milldale. A few weeks ago, the | lccal boys went into the country and stayed 16 innings with the team there. Up to the 18th inning, Eddie Hein had held the Nilldale batters at his mercy and then an unfor- tunate accident in which he suffered twisted ankle, took him out of the game and Nilldale came through in the 18th. This was not a satisfac- tory win so the game Sunday will settle the supremacy of the teams.
 The Corbin Red sox again invade Meriden to play the Saint Stanislaus nine. The Saints have been going great guns and if the old time Meri- den jinX for Tobins men is working they hope 10 win. Tobin states that he will rid the team of the hard luck sign and will even up things in Meriden Sunday.
 The Falcons have 2 sweet home game Sunday with Collinsville of last years Pennington Valley league. This game is postponed from two weeks ago when rain stopped it and as the game of Saturday, the day before the scheduled game was so close, the fans should be treated to something worth while at St. Mary's field. Kania, Jaglowski or Scott, i former star Of the Besse- Leland nine will be in the points for the locals, while Berg or Art Reeves, classy rortsider will work for Collinsville. Jack Schroeder, local boy, will be behind the bat for the visitors and this should prove an added attrac- i ton for New Britain fans.
 Kensington will have one of i the best teams of the present season as its hosts Sunday at the Kensing- ton grounds. when the Submarine Base team of New London arrive to take home the scalps of P. J. Buck ley's men. The Base is known here for the work of it's representatives on the football gridiron and reports state that the baseball team is as good as the football team was.
 Kensington will be prepared for the visitors with "Sim" Politis ready 10 work and win is expected for the paper goods town.
