League Standing

The Paradise Park and Boys Clut teams came through yesterday 1T l the New Britain Boys baseball
 league play at Walnut Hill Park The Paradise team had little diff. jculty in disposing of the Willow
 Brooks while the Boys club team swamped the Burritts.
 Paradise Park Wins
 With Arel holding the Willow Brooks safely in hand the Paradise Parks took a liking to the offerings of Ferony and walked away an easy winner, by score of II to 3. The game went along at an even pace until the eighth when the cham pions of last year showed some real stickwork and pounded out enough hits to put the game on the ice. Until this frame is was a pitch 1 CTS battle between Arel and Ferony. the Walter Johnson of the league. Both did some neat work the win ming twirler allowing three safe hingles scattered throughout the mine innings. Ferony continued along with his strikeout record and added ten more to his list. His support at times was poor and often put him in bad position.
 The Paradise Parks got the jump in the opening inning when Lip man hit the first ball thrown for a double to right. This was followed by a single by Truman to the same place. Lipman scoring. Ferony stead jed down after this and famed the next three batters. All was well until the fourth frame when the Paradise Parks started to hammer out hits With two out Lefty Cohen singled t) center. Miller walk ed and this was followed by a long single to left scoring both runners. Many misplays resulted in more scoring in the other innings, but the winners sewed up the game in the eighth.
 The Willow Brooks staged little rally of their own in the sixth that produced their three runs. Ferony started off by ..lgling through short and taking second and third in 8 row. He then came home on wild peg. Folden the next batter, reach ed first on a free ticket, and reacf- ed third on series of misplays. He came home on passed ball. Buz- nowski got @ life on wild throw of his grounder to short, and scored while batter was being thrown out at first. All told the Willow Brooks got but one safe bingle in this frame. They were held scoreless In the re- maining innings, while the Paradise Parks reached Ferony in the eighth and tucked away another win. The score:

CITY LEAGUE GAMES
Pirates Attack Rangers and Robins Swoop Upon West Ends at Walnut Hill This Afternoon.

Only two games will be played in the City league this afternoon at Walnut Hill park. The Pirates, run ners-up in the race for the title, will meet the Rangers at o'clock on Diamond No. 1. The Pirates are a dangerous team and would be more so If they could leave behind the nervous erratics to which they have succumbed inrecent games, for they have plenty of all-around ability. Their opponents are weak hitters but strong defensively and form a tough bulwark for any team to break through.
 On Diamond No. the West Ends and Robins, tied for third place, will settle the little matter of which one will stay in that position. The West Ends are powerful on the of- fense and quite strong in the field while the Robins have mixed bril- liancy, foolishness, and mistakes with kaleidoscope effect and are a hard team to dope out. This game was set ahead from o'clock when the t-Speedboy game was postponed until Monday evening at 6:30 o'clock.

Cincinnati's sensational play in the National league chase this sea son recalls the great team the late Pat Moran had in Redland in 1919 the year the Reds copped the flag and then went on to win the world series with the Chicago White Sox- the scandal play-off, as some have since termed it.
 That was the year such recognized stars as ueinie Groh. Greasy" Neale, "Hod" Eller, Ivy Wingo, good old Bill Rariden and others roamed the fields for Cincinnati. Most of the members of that famous aggre- gation have drifted out of the main show, but their illustrious deeds on the field of battle are still fresh in the minds of Cincy fandom.
 This years team has been one of the biggest surprises in the Heydler organization. It wasn't given much of a rating by the experts during spring training-at least, 1t wasn't considered in the same breath with the Giants, the Pirates and the Cards.
 But Jack Hendricks has had his boys going at pace-setting clip all most since the start of the cam paign and if any club is to prevent the Pittsburgh outfit from making it two straight pennant successes, the Reds look like the team to turn the trick.
 The good work of Rube Bressler, Wally Pipp, Eppa Rixey. Pete Dono- hue and others has done much to keep the Cincy boys in the gallop.
 Redland rooters have the old bunting bee buzzing again-just as they did in those hilarious days seven years ago.

POST WINS
EDDY GLOVER POST
 WINS FIRST GAME
New Britain Opens Legion League With Victory

The Eddy-Glover post baseball team opened up the first district American Legion league in an aus picious manner yesterday by swamping the Seichprey post team Of Bristol by score of 16 to 5. The { locals were entirely too strong for the Bristol outfit and whaled away at the offerings of the opposing pitchers to make their lead a com- manding one. Two big innings, the third, in which they scored four, and the fourth, in which they scored six, gave the locals ther right incen- tive to go out and take the game. and the manner in which the New Britain team handled itself makes them a strong fayorite to take the district championship and become a real threat in the state competition.
 Partyka, the New Britain mounds man, was in rare form against the Bell Towners. He allowed only three hits during the entire game. walked five and struck out 10, and at all times was master of the situa- tion. Both teams were mite nerv- ous at the start and this was re- hected in the inaccurate shooting of Partyka, who hit two men in the first inning. He made up for this, however, by striking out three bat ters in the first frame.
 Bogdanslli started off the first tn- nlng by singing sharply to left. Singles by Potts and Sapkowski brought him in with the first run. New Britain got two more in the second on a. walk, a single and a stolen base. Then the third inning bloomed and New Britain added four. Three walks. a hit batsmap and Bogdanski's double did the trlck. The fourth was a slaughter Tn this frame New Britain counted six times. Three singles, a walk an error by the Bristol third -sacler and Partyka's triple sent the score shooting sywards
 Bristol got one in the second when Michaud was passed. He stole | second, went to third on an infe1d | out and scored on a passed ball,
 
 Another was added in the third. i McGoWan singled and stole second Potts threw 10 second to get him and the ball went into center field McGowan making the rest of the trip home.
 Partyka's work in picking off the runners on the sacks was admirable, He snapped runners off first and second and cut off number of po- tential runs. Bogdanski's stop of what looked like sure hit and his throw to first to catch the runner 1 was fielding gem. Mangan caught sweet game behind the bat and ! was the object of much applause from the spectators for a beauty throw to second to catch a runner Sokoloski's work on second featured while the entire New Britain team starreds Goulet. in left field for Bristol, had three nice putouts and on one play perfect throw to home held runnner on third Allaire, who succeeded McGowan In the box for Bristol, flashed neat pitching form and held New Britain down after the fourth. The score:

 Boys Club Wins
 The Boys club team swanped the cellar champs, the Buriitts IS to on Diamond No. ? in one of the fastest games played in the league this year. The Club scored in all but the seventh and ninth innings and pounded the ball to all corners of the lot.
 Burritt served up some stiff op- position for the first three innings and made it a game but in the hfth, the Club came through with six runs and to k the heart out of their opponents. The Club got one in the first and Burritts got two The Club came back strong in the second and scored three. One more was added in the third and two more in the fourth. Then came the firth with six runs clattering across the plate and one in the sixth and another in the eight gave them d to- tai Of IS.
 Burritts tried hard to score after the first. but it was only In the seventh that they were able to push one across on hit by Kaczmarcik q stolen base and a poor throw 10 third by Gotav-ala.
 Except for the speed with which the game was played, the contest vas uninteresting. Herman Schmarr showed his versatility in the game by playing first base while Kovaleski occupied the box. Hermy stabbed everything that came his way. Not being the pitcher yesterday he slam med out three nice hits. one of them being a double and scored two runs. all in his four trips to the plate. Chester played a nice game at third and Adams took his place and continued the good work. Ko. valesk showed up well in the boz and had good control and struck out seven.
 Ma-keviAch spent five innings on the rubber and he pitched a nice game. Poor support. however served to have him weaken and Pienkowski finished the game A bare-handed stab of a grounder through the box by Kovalesld and his throwing the man out at first was the fielding gem of the game. The score:
