 A peculiar situation arose in the first game between Hartford and Waterbury at Clarkin field Thurs day afternoon when with one out and "Yank" Yordy on first base, the hitter clouted what looked like a sure hit to left field. The ball went sailing away over the left tielder's head and the coaches yelled to-, Yordy to 80 and he did.
 Schinkel, however. in left field for Hartford, was off like a streak for the ball and turning his back to the diamond he sped back to- wards the fence, turning just in time to spear the pill. It was one of the prettiest instances of perfect judS- ing the writer has ever seen.
 Yordy was around to third base by the time the ball was caught and the Hartford players, with the ex- ception of Earl Johnson, pitcher, apparently thought that there were two out. Schinkel lazily threw the ball to Durecher on shortstop, Dur ccher threw to Shay at second and Shay threw to Hesse at first. John- son was trotting over by first base and Hesse tossed the ball under handed to him. Johnson caught the ball and stamped on first complet- ing a double play. This gave Schin- kel d put out, Durocher, Shay and Hesse, assists, and Johnson, the pitcher a put out, The scorekeeper missed the double as it is not rec orded in the box score.
 The fans of the city are all set for three more good games in the City league this afternoon. The con- tests today will mark thS end of the first half of the league play and will give the followers of the teams an inkling of how the end of the season will find the teams.
 Starting with the games next Saturday, the second and final round ot the league games will start. Manager Clarence Coons of the P. 6 F. Corbin team says, Watch out for my men this half" while all the other managers say, Were go- ing to finish first" Them words means some tall doings on the sandlots.
 The Stanley Memorial church, al though the smallest in the church league. is the most rabid. At the game last night they had wealth of substitutes on the field, while Rev. R. N. Gilman, the pastor, and a good sized crowd of 'rooters of both sexes were on hand to cheer their favorites on. And they had something to cheer for as the Stan. ley Memorial team is one of the best in the league. Mir. Gilman prac' tises with his team, but does moi step into the lineup except in case of a player shortage. He went in a
