 Walter Berg pitched a brilliant game for the Corbin Red Sox against Stafforll Springs Sunday afternoon and won the contest, one to nothing. When we say he won it, we mean just that because it was the counter that he, himself, scored that gave Corbins the slight margin which spelled victory.
 "Yiggs" Patrus will probably be in the lineup again next Sunday with kensington and this may mean 8 great deal to Kensington. It is problematical whether Joe kania will play or not. He had his hand split open at work Friday and 1t is not thought that the in- jury will heal before several weeks.
 Zeigler received two bad spike marks in Sundays game. He has two ugly looking bruises on his leg. This was an unfortunate break coming as it did when "Ziggy" was having one Of the worst days he has ever had in a ball game.
 There are quite a number of fans in Kensington who will have to hang around the corners nights instead of taking in the shows this week because of the fact that their betting went wrong Sunday.
 Tommy Basil, the boy with the one mitt, is playing a sensational game in the City league. Having had the first opportunity of seeing him play Saturday afternoon, we saw him clout out three slashing singles and he gave us & real treat running the bases.

 The best rooter that Tommy Basil and Campbell have in the city is Charles F. Smith of Lan- ders, Frary 65 Clark. Mr. Smith at- tends the City league games solely to see Basil and "Red' play. He had his hearts fill of thrills Sat- urday when he saw the two belt ing the ball and going through their fielding, paces.
 There were no Industrial league games at Willow Brook park Sat urday afternoon because of the wet condition of the diamonds. Stanley Rule and Corbins will play a post poned game off tonight. The game l was scheduled for July 31.
 Landers and Fafnirs will finish | their postponed games after the season is over. Neither team will l play twilight baseball. Fafnirs have tNo men working nights and Lan- ders refuse to play twilight games. |
 Some day, the Industrial league games will be finished, we hope.

 ' The Lord Chapman fight which was postponed last night until to- night, is drawing more interest than my non-champ mpionship encounter in some time. Tonight's battle will see whether Eddie Lord is a contender for the featherweight title vacated by Kaplan. Chapman is recognized as a strong prospect to succeed to kaplan's throne and if Lord beats him, as many believe that he will. he steps into Chapman's place in the eyes of the boxing world.
 Paul Berlenbach and Francois Charles the light heavyweight cham pion of France, will meet tomorrow nifht at Ebbets field for the plea sure of meeting Jack Delaney of light heavyweight cham pion of the world. Delaney beat Berlenbach for the title and he has been hailed as the only man in the 1 division who could give the cham pion a battle and if the Frenchman can beat him, he is the logical op-
