New Britain 1, Naugatuck 1

New Britain I, NaugntIck l
 The score was one all in the twelfth inning; two men on bases. two out. with the count to 2 on the batter. Al Fengler, center fielder of the New Britain team. Burns, of Naugatuck. who up until this inning had held New Britain 10 three hits wound up as the two runners started tearing down the base paths. and threw one just to the batters liking resulting in a screaming single 10 right center that scored the winning runs for New Britain. Tcngler scored later but the run was not needed since the damage was already done.
 It was the end of mastcrful pitching duel between "liuggy" Carlson, dark horse who until about q week ago when he reported 10 the call of Coach Cassidy for candidates was unheard of in high school circles, and Burns, "Naugy' slab star, both of who let the op- posing team down with 1G strike outs.
 Fifteen dishcartened diamond men wearing the spangles of the Red and Gold team left this city Satur- day noon expecting to be defeated by lob-sided score. They would enter the game the under dog, they knew. but they were going to battle to hold the other team with all the ability they had. In practice they acted nervous and just before the game as they crowded about their coach, he urged them to be alert and to watch for every opportunity 10 score.
 They followed his advice in thc opening inning when they scored or ono hit. Fcnglcr, lead-off man let two strikes go by him on the flrst two balls pitched, Then foul straight balls brcczcd into th, catcher's init and Al took first base Charlow sacrificed him to second Carlson hit single into center that brought the first score in. This run did not look so good at that time but it was the margin necessary to make the game on overtime racket later on.
 A golden opportunity was missed in the third inning when Fcnglcl again came into the limelight witt a safety 10 short center. He stole second and on the next pitched bal he duplicated the feat and stole third. IIo was left stranded how. ever. Burns then pitched seven in. nings in no-1it, no-run style, which was broken only by a three base hi by Red Matulis 10 deep right flel( in the 1 1 innings after two were re tired.

 Carlson retired the "Naugy" bat ters for four innings until Patterson socked two base counter out into left field at the opening of the fiftl inning. He was caught mapping : few minutes later and was called out Carlson to Lewicki.

 In 1921 and 1922 Ruth failed 10 hit in the world series with the Giants, despite his great work dur ing the regular season. The 1an- kccs were defeated both times.

 During the winter Ruth began q period of intensive training and re- ported for spring work in the best condition of his career,

HARVARD HAS BEST OUTLOOK IN YEARS
Coach Thinks Material for Crew Fights Of Championship Variety

Cambridge, Mass. April e6 R>-- The material for this years Harvard varsity crew is considered by Coach Edward Stevens, former Cornell oarsman. the best of any during the three years he has been in charge at Harvard. Harvard has three eight pared crews rowing with varsity col ors and in the first the competition lis unusually keen. With two strokes and two seven men are nearly equal ability.
 "I like the material VIC have 10 work with this year very much" | Coach Stevens said. "1t is by far more potential than that of any season I have been on the job. The competition is keen and we expect some very smooth rowing crews, as well as powerful representatives The work to make up for the late start will soon be concluded and then we'll know just about what we've got"
 The rowing order for the first varsity has been: stroke, John Watts, 6. F. l.. Barton. Captain Robert Win throp: 5. Geofrey Platt: 4, J. r. Hubbard; 3, Kent Leavitt; ,, Chas. Darlington: bow, J. l.. Barry; cox swain. C. H. Pforsheimer;
 Five of this ere wrowed against Yale last June. These are Captain Winthrop. the only captain with two years varsity experience. Leavitt, Platt, Hubbard and Darlington. Winthrop has twice sat in the stroke position against Yale. Last spring it was he who set the pace for impress sve victories over Pennsylvania, Massachusetts Institute of Technolo- gy Cornell and Syracuse. He was lcreditcd with a masterly race in the triangular meet with Navy and Syr- acuse when the Navy broke the course record for two miles, with Harvard a close second.
 In the second crew Coach Stevens has Canning, stroke of last years second varsity, and Perkins, No. 2, on the same crew last year. lse- lin explained and rowed last year on the second crew until taken ill
 just before the Yale race. and Is rowing this season. Wcymer, now at C, did an unprecedented thing last year by rowing the seconds and the icombination crews against Yale.
 The seating in the first varsity may involve some shifts. Winthrop at 6, may be changed. Coach Stev, ems has been giving Watts, last years freshman captain a free reil at stroke to see If he can deliver something that Winthrop has no' shown and which would benefit tho oarsmen. Platt rowed at last year Hubbard at 6. Darlington at 4 ant iLcavitt at z. Barton rowed 3 on tht second crew In 1924. Barry was or the freshman crew last year fol which Pforsheimer was coXsWain.

 Sam Gray of the Athletics faded before the Yankees line of sWats- men to 9, with Waite Hoyt pitching expertly, allowing seven safeties. The Yankees gathered 12 hits off Gray.

 In the over time innings things turned in the opposite direction, Burns started 10 weaken and If It hadn't been for the fact that Matulis got his three base hit in the 11th inning after two were down, the game might have been won then.
 The 12th started off quietly, Cher pack popping a foul to the catcher. Then Havlick clouted single into center; Brombcrg got 10 first on an error by the "Naugy" second base man. and Mathis struck out.
