New Britain herald., 1926-06-09

street and incidentally manager of Eddie Anderson, champion duckpin bowling champion, succeeded in ar ranging to have Ray Gaines of Hart ford roll off his two final matches with the New Britain bowler on Thursday and Friday of this week.
 Games wanted to postpone the two matches until next week and at the same time wanted to roll the last match in Hartford. but Ander- son refused to concede this. At first, he was willing to allow the games 10 be postponed but was adamant in his demand that the last match be rolled in this city.
 Gaines manager finally acceded to the New Britain mems requests with the result that Anderson and Gaines will roll in Hartford Thursday night and in this city on Friday night. Without any doubt, these two matches will be the cream of the state duckpin league and will draw the biggest house of the entire year.
 Barbour of Waterbury, Anderson's closest rival for honors in the league, won his match this week against Steve Lynch of Bristol but it was only by a one game margin and if Eddie can keep out in front in the three remaining set-tos which he has, he will be sitting pretty for the title again this year,
 Teller of Meridon is third man in the race and he also copped his match this week against Leonard of New Haven by a to 4 score. He seems 10 be safely out of the way. The league race should end this week but according 10 information from Meridcn, Tony Gudain will be unable 10 roll because he has boil on his right arm. This match will probably come off next week.
 There seems to be an underline surface feeling against Anderson throughout the state. The bowlers don't want him to win, somehow, but this isn't going to bother Anderson in the least. The fans in this city are behind him and he won't lack for moral support at least from his home town.
 IL seems strange in looking over the Eastern league that Hartford isn't up further in the standing than at present. Six men on the team, he three outielders, third and sec ond bascman and catcher are hitting well over 300 but the team is still near the cellar. The real reason ad- vanced by those who have been fol- , lowing the team this season is that ! there is a decided lack of pitching material.
 For a time. Earl Johnson was the only man who seemed 10 be able 10 do anything at all for the team, but now new twirlcr who has shown mp better than Johnson, has been added O the fold. His name is Lynch and with these two. the Hart . ford team should win at least a few , ball games. The team has been e. pcrmenting with first basemen all . season. Hipps. q newcomer of last | week is the third man to play the initial sack.
 We saw peculiar play pulled off on a golf course yesterday afternoon and haven't heard of any such occur renee before. It was on the South ington Country club course. In a thrcesome, two of the players were lying on the green. One was about five feet from the pin and the other about thr, e almost in a direct line to the hole, The man away decided 10 putt figuring 10 get an arc roll to the ball for a putt He did. His aim was good but he plunked his ball squarely into his opponents and as the putt was a little hard, both balls rolled. The strange part about the play was that both went into the cup.
 There is a peculiar sensation in getting a good drive on a golf ball. To the uninitiated hitting the little white pellet which is set up so nicely ,en tee appears 10 be a simple mat ter. It is. But hitting 1t so that it will get somewhere is another matter that calls for skill.
 Probably the hardest thing for the beginner is keeping inc head down until after the ball is on the way. Looks like we are starting to take up golf. Frank McGrath, one of the High 7 schools present leaders in athletics, , was elected captain of next years ] track team at meeting of the track , team members last night. He ; nosed out Freddie Zehrer who is l present captain by few votes.
 Mac" Is a popular boy with his mates and although he has not shown any great ability as track man, he has plenty of time to show his stuff next year. Followers Of track events at the High school ex- pect great things from him as the leader of the wearers of the Red .G Gold In 1927.
