 The Stanley Rule & Level base ball team demonstrated last night that a long layoff is harmful. Play ing the P. & F. Corbin team in what proved to be the crucial game, the Rulers lost out to in one of the tightest battles of the entire season.
 This gives Landers the pennant because no team has any chance of tieing the lead now. Landers has only one more game to play and that is with the Stanley Rule 6s Level team Saturday. Had the Rul- CTS won last nights game and the one with the New Britain Machine which is scheduled for Thursday night, it would have been battle between that team and the Landers crew for first place.
 The Stanley Rule has three games 10 play yet, one of which is scheduled for Thursday night against the New Britain Machine, another against Landers and still another against Fafnirs. The Stan ley Works will play off its game against the Russwin team Thursday night at o'clock at Willow Brook park,
 Artie Campbell in the game yes terday evening. celebrated the ar rival of a bouncing baby girl at 3 o'clock in the afternoon by banging out two solid singles out of four trips. His first hit brought Hinch- life in with the only run Stanley got during the game.
 Because of the important event yesterday Artie thought he would | have to absent himself from the | lineup last night, but Mrs. Camp ! bell insisted that he play and Artie | always minds his boss.
 Stanley Rule couldn't seem to i solve the shoots of Mickey Huber in i last nights game. Many oppor- l tunities for runs presented them i 'eves, but the punch was lacking. |
 Jimmy Clinton was umpiring be- 1 hind the bat and "Yiggs" Patrus l pasted one into right field for q 1 possible homer but he was called | out at the plate. Naturally "Yiggs" | thought he was safe as the play l was very close. When Clinton called | him out, "Yisgs" went to wave his | hand as a sign that he thought | Clinton was all wrong on the de- cision. As he did so. he tapped l Jimmy in the head and the umpire thought that "Yiggs" made pass At him,
 It was evident to everybody that | such was not the case though the way it happened. it would have seemed to us if we were umpiring that the player took Sock" at us. Jimmy went to return the compli- ment and called "Yiggs" for it, but Patrus explained his action and there wasn't any argument.
 Joe Jasper played a whale of a game at third for Corbins and after the contest. Joe slipped us the merry raspberries for our dis course on the subject of inferior ity complexes." Joe doesn't believe word we printed about him after last Sundays game and we don't blame him.
 The kensngton baseball team will practice tomorrow night at the Percival avenue grounds in prepara- ton for Sundays game against the 'orbin Red Sox. Manager Buckley wants all his players to get down |. 70 the Paper Goods town as near o'clock as possible, because darkness d"scends so quickly now that little practice will be had unless it is started about 6 o'clock
 Buckley hisnt made his decision yet with regard to his pitching se- lection for next Sunday. He has 5ucholz for the remainder Of the season and he will be with Ken sington next Sunday. It will be eli ther between Yale or Bucholz to stand up against Tobin's crew or probably in the case Of eventuali- ties. both men will work.
  Walter Berg who will face Ken sington again next Sunday. We haven't heard anything from John McGraw Tobin yet on this matter but We figure that he went so well against the team in the first game that he will be returned to face the crowd again Sunday.
 Kensington is going to be hard team to beat after last Sundays vic tory over the Falcons. The team has its confidence back again and the players don't care who pitches against them on Sunday because even matters up with the Red SoX.
 We thought for a time yesterday that there would be an AL New Britain football team formed again this year. Since pr. Waskowitz pull led out of the affair, a quartet got RECT EYED ]!
