the field and began 10 cheer for them in high pitched but lusty voices; the result was that the team scored eight runs and won the game without further trouble. And last night this team. which had been go- ing poorly, again received this back ing and proceeded to trim the Methodists There is one thing about having the girls on the side lines, anyway; it brings out all the players.
 Baseball games may come and go but there will be very few as inter asting or as good as the one staged between the Nowmatics and the Stanley Works last night In the h. dustrtal league at Willow Brook park.
 The final score was three to two but this doesn't describe the game at all. Turner. the big boy who originally halls from the back woods in Maine, and Warner Johnson, descendant of the Vikings of old, en- saged in a pitching duel that thrill ed every minute of play and what an exciting finish!
 Tho last of the ninth came around with the Machine company up after scoring one run to make the score 8 to 2. Milo Argosy had walked and had come in on Don Cosgrovo's hit. Two men had famed on John sons splitter and spirals and Erny Anderson strode to the plate.
 He caught hold Of one of John sons fast ones and it went into left for single. CosgroNe Was off like shot and rounding third he came home. The ball was thrown back into the inncld and sent to third base. Jack Pelletier went over and touched the sack and Umpire Hcrbie Sauttcr declared Cosgrove out be- cause he had not touched the sack.
 Now opinions differ as to whether rosgrove touched the third bag or not. Those supporting the Machine Co.,, named Sauttor and Clinton the two umpires. Robbers "Crooks' Buns" and many more expressions that couldn't be repeated here, but the decision stood and the game was won for the Stanley Works,
 On the other hand. Stanley Works supporters upheld the umpire in ms decision and stated that CosgroVe did not touch third, This is only a matter of opinion and we are gong 70 keep very silent on the subject because our opinion would have either Manager Leuihan or Frank NcConn down on our necks and we tus+ have our first coat of sunburn and we are pretty sore. So we are ,I,iot about the ending of the game though we hSte very decided oplh- ion on the merits of the plaG Al any rate, the umpire's decision hears more weight in baSept'll ramc than a kings in his monarchy and there can be all sorts of argu- pants about the right or wrong oI inc decision, but the fact stands that C,osgroye was out and the Stahley Works won the game.
 One thing we found out last night uas that Billy tBuggy) Fitzpatrick rirthdav is next Wednesday and he will be just 19 years old. He was q I year ago, just old enough to yoto hut he swears that he is only 19 this year. We know how many will believe that one.
 We have good suggestion to make 10 the managers or the tal- cons Corbin Red Sox and the Ken sington baseball clubs regarding a city title series this year. we would suggest that these three ge, together next week some night and arrange to play an elimination ser ,es of two games out of three during the coming months and when the entire thing is over, the winning ,ram get d series with the New De parture club Of Bristol for a serie' of home and home games.
 This may not meet with favor, bu we believe that the time is ripe tt start talk about city championship series and no a couple of months from now when football will b' crowdng baseball off the sporting map.
 Sim" PoIitis has severed hi connections with the All-KensingtoI team. according to the dope that l being spread about the town. Slim has been doing good work for tn Southenders but was a mite dissatls fled. He and Manager Pat Buckle, still remain the best of friends,
