Twice the Tygers caught their opponents dur ing the battle but ever gained the lead. Babe Ruth scored his sixth home run in the first inning when. with the count two and three, he lined to the right field stands.
 Washington had little trouble in downing the White Sox, 8 to 2, al- though Johnson permitted 10 safe ties, four of them for extra bases. The Big Train" put on the air" when trouble loomcd except in the first when Chicago tailed twice. Goose Goslin had a perfect day al bat.
 Philadelphia margin over the St Louis Browns was considerable, for Ton Zachary weakened in the eighth and three men crossed the plate. Lefty Grove allowed only six hits and won by to 1.
 The Boston Red SoX were victims of an II to war dance performed by the Cleveland Indians. In the first two innings seven Indian runners registered with Kiefer pitching. The wildness of the Boston moundman had much to do with the situation,
 Brooklyn retained its margin Of leadership in tho National league with Murleigh Grimes hurling masterfully to beat the St. Louis Cardinals, to l. Only five hits were garnered by the Hornsbys dur ing the afternoon while Brooklyn scored four runs in the first and three in the fifth.

The Ta.cons baseball team will furnish the major attraction for Now Britain baseball fans at St. Mury's field tomorrow afternoon af o'clock when they take on the KY team of N,W Haven one of the snlppjcst clubs in the s'utc. The Falcons won their first start of the year last Sunday agansl the Meri- den MohaWls and packers of the team are confident that the team will score victory No. ? tomorrow.
 Tho KY jram is well known in New Britain where it has appeared on many occasions and the Falcons will have 10 keep on their toes every minute of inc same 10 Keep in the run column. The visitors are bring ing to New Britain tomorrow a tal- cuted bunch of ball tosscrs. The lineup includes veterans of the team who have seen five and six years of experience with the N1's and are c'assel as among the best baseball players in the Elm City
 The team has four pitchers. each one of whom is q star moundsmau. Just which one will be selected for tomorroW's game is more than can be said but any one of the quartet will be able to give the Falcons T. real game. CroSsman is regarded os the star of the four and he will probably draw the assignment for the game. He is a speed artist with beautiful curve and q world Of control and lS a dangerous man at hat. Carr and Loos are both speed artists with uncanny hooks that often fool the batters. O'Brien is inclined 10 be wild at times, but his bali trayola like a bullet and when ha IS right. he is almost unbeatable.
 Manager Joe Nenialli Of the Fal- cons has not announced his pitching selection for the game yet but many seem 10 think that JagloWski will occupy the mound tomorrow. The job may fall on the broad and cap- able shoulders Of Jack Scott, for. morly oI tho Besse Leland team. while Bruno Kania or Slim Politis stand in the ofting ready for their turn ill the box again. Kania pitched the team to victory last sunday and he is in wonderful shaps for another Eo tomorrow.
 Last Sundays crowd was a record breaker for an opening day but just as many and probably more fans will be on hand tomorrow to watch the contest scheduled. The Falcons have large following and the New Haven team is 2 popular one here.
 The AT's will line up tomorrow as follows: Morro, cf.; Ciarleddie. Sb.; Callahan, h.; Goebel Of; II, Lynch, ss.; RueI or Coombs. C.; KeI- ardi, f.; Burke. 2b and Crossman, Carr, Loos or O'Brien, p.

ING METHODS.


 Charles II. Sherru of Yale Uni versity, back in the late sos, crouch cd in his holes at the start of q 100-yard dash.
 The papers the following day said that although Sherrill seemed 10 stumble at the beginning of the race, he nevertheless recovered himself and won.".
 Over night it was realized that the crouch position was q distinct ad- vantage over the old standing method. And there came to bs various varieties of crouch starting, which were really never definitely standardized until Arthur Duffey be- came the champion sprmtcr of the world a- the beginning Of the goth century He Was the fastest man from his holes of his time.
 Howard Drew, the next really great sprintcr in track history, who began starring some 10 years later used the same style, and Loren Murchison, generally conceded to be the best starter of the present, be- gins his race in the same fashion, as does also the writer.
 It consists of digging the holes behind the starting line, one behind the other in such q way that when you take your marks, on the first command, the knee Of your right lSu u-il1 Ia 17,rosi+l +b, ;,utz,, ,, your left foot. The hands on the line should be far enough apart to allow an easy passage Of the body. The position should be one of com plete relaxation.
 At the command Set" however. the body immediately raises 10 the correct set position and is coiled like q rattler ready 10 spring. The weight Is far forward on the hands and the front foot, and, when the gun is fired, the hands are lifted. throwing the body forward.
 A man would fall if it was not for his first two strides, which con- sist of jabbing steps that have so much weight and force behind them that they fairly throw the runner into his stride. The body is kept low during those first few steps. The coordination of the arms and legs is important, but the essential is the position of the weight, far forward when in the set position. There is the secret of the successful start.
 And it means a great deal to get away fast. The man who can do it has both q mental and physical advantage hard indeed to overcome. and almost anyone by patience and work can become Q creditablo starter.

HILLHOUSE IS TOO
 MUCH FOR LOCALS
HaineS Pitches Alright Ball in Victory Over New Britain

Alright pitching by Haines, who Britain High school in three years and New Ravens first athletic tri- umph this year, backed up by q merciless batting attack accounted for q victory over the Naw Britain High school team in the latter's first home game at St. 1Iarys field yesterday afternoon.
 Hlllhouse with its pitching star, Haines, looked like a bunch o1 world heaters yesterday. They pounded "Huggy'' Carlson in every inning and scored in the first, second and third innings. Their all-around playing was a feature in itself. In the third inning eight batters went 10 the plate, thfeo runs were scored, and yet only one hit was made. Three of the other men got on as the result Of errors and another got a comp" to first,
 New Britain played q ragged game in the field, getting seven CT TOTS. Al' Havlick in right field, pulled tho surprise of the afternoon when. after missing two easy catches he collected in two circus catches. The hits of the game were made by Chick" Charlow, Bromberg and Carlson. New Britain's scores came in the first inning when Fenglcr took a walk to first, and Charlow doubled to right scoring him. Later Char low went to third and then scored on pass ball.
 Coach Cassidy changed his lineup for the game, but the combination did not seem to get results and it is probable that another lineup will be used. In the St Thomas Seminary game "Dutch" Conway, who pitched the last inning of yesterdays game
