in as many weeks. He Is playing like a house atire and predictions are free that he will not stay in the league long. One thing Is certain . and that is that If he does make a change, he will not join the Hart ford crew to take another slamming like that given him by Paddy o'Connor.
 In Sundays game between the Corpin Red Sox and the Kensington teams, the better team won out. Kensington was playing at the top of its form, but Buckland was too much for the boys from the lower end. Had Liedke not been struck in the head by batted ball shortly before the game began, he might Buckland. As 1t was he pitched a pretty nine innings and came out allowing only eight hits, passed one man and having the edge on Buck land in strikeouts.
 Billy Fitzpatrick pulled a Merkle in the seventh when with Al Blan- chard on first base, Fitzpatrick hit one of Liedke's fast ones over the bushes into loft field and circled tho bases. The ball was thrown to Mccormick, who touched third base and Umpire Crowley called Fitz- patrick out. Captain Hal Corbin protested the decision, but Crowley declared the runner out for failure to touch third.
 It took courage for an umpire to call this decision but courage Is what Crowley Is made up of. There had been some doubts about what he would do in Kensington, but those who know Ed. know that he calls them as he sees them and that's all there is to it.
 The game was beautiful one to watch during the nine innings of play. Both sides were keyed up and fast baseball was the dish all af- ternoon. The managers will meet this week to decide where the next game will be played.
 Among the interested spectators of the Corbin Red Sox-Kensington game was Billy Dudack, former high school and Georgetown star,. who has been living in the west. He is visiting at his home here for a few days. Ray Begley turned in one of the best fielding games at center field seen at the Kensington diamond this year. Rays hair might be turning gray, but he still can play baseball. Twice. he hit terrific drives into cen ter field but the luck of the game sent them straight into Ferguson's hands. The PaNnee A.
