1t looks like the Burritts in the
City league. The West Ends put up
an astoundingly poor game against
them Saturday and practically drop
ped out of the race. This week the
leaders will meet the Pirates. A vic
tory will clinch the championship
but loss to this bunch of young
sters will mean tie and probable
play-off. The I lgue has only two
weeks more to run.
The Pirates protested the use of
Yale" by the Speedboys without
avail, the Speedboy management
keeping him in the box and show
ing this name on the list of players
turned in when his team took over
the Oriole franchise. yale" by the
way, had an assist which did not go
into the score, tossing Claire's bat
back to him after disarming him
with a slow curve which almost
bIOkS the Iurh DdCh,
A peculiar feature of this game
was that no less than three Pirate
batters were put out by being hit by
batted balls. McAloon was particu-
larly brilliant in his Workmanship,
knocking BeglCy's legs out from un-
der him between second and third
and later hitting himself with a
bunt. Chick Charlow also ran into
one of his own bunts.
Umpire Hogan tried to turn physi- |
clan when a youngster was hit by |
4 wild between-innings throw back |
of first base. Mike Lynch was more |
interested in getting the game over !
with and had Dr. Hogan extricated |
from the crow1 around the lad. |
Then play was resumed.
Huggie Carlson showed a new
submarine ball Saturday and tied |
the Speedboys into knots with it.
When he had two strikes on batter
he shot one up from around his
ankles and the batter would go
mournfully back to the bench. Only
one was hit all afternoon, and that
was taken by fielder.
The Corbin Red Sox and the Ken
sinton teams will battle in Kensing-
son again next Sunday and after
winning yesterdays game, Tobin's
clan will have tough time down.
ing the Paper Goods team this time.
We expect that Berg and Charlie
Yale will be on the firing line next
Sunday and this should be a pretty
pitching battle. The Kensington
team has tasted victory now and
there should be battle royal in all
the remaining games.
slim" Politis is getting married
today and like Jack Dempsey, will
have a new manager from now on.
We know.
Managers John Tobin of the Cor
bin Red SoX and Joe Feniski of the
Falcons are scheduled to meet to-
night at $50 o'clock in the Her !
aid" office to discuss the chances of |
the two teams playing a series. If
they agree to play, it means that
the championship Of the city will
reach a decision this year.
With football out of the way,
baseball has all the room it wants
this fall and the managers are plan
ming to make the most of the sea-
son.
The Kensington team made
great comeback against the Falcons
in the second game of the series
played at St. Mars's field yesterday
With Bucholz in the box, the Ken
sington team battled through to
1 to 2 victory through nine hectic
innings in which it seemed that the
game belonged TO either team.
The Kensngton team played with F
heads UP all through the contest. E
The players seized every opportuni- y
ty to score and when the Falcons S
mussed throws up in the early in A
nings, that was where they lost the II
game. v
P
Ginger" Cleary was on the
mound for the Falcons and although
he had beat Kensington in the first
game, he wasn't able TO out-pitch
Eucholz yesterday afternoon. The
NYCO league twirler was especially
effective with men on bases and
held the Falcons down in the
pinches
Joe Jasper, cursed seemingly with
an inferiority complex, had two
blobs in yesterdays game. One,
when Ferguson was caught off first
and Begley threw to him at second
and he dropped the hall, resulted in
the Falcons getting their first run.
Then in the last of the ninth, he
put the Kensington rooters on the
of nervous prostration when he
stopped a ball perfectly with one
out and then threw wildly to first.
The next batter singled to center
and it looked very much as if the =,
Kensington team was going to lose D.
the game. ... ~,

pick of his and on hard smash to ~
