CITY LEAGUE GAMES
Burritts Play West Ends Today In
Feature Battle of Municipal
Loop.
Loop.

Three good games will be played
in the City league this afternoon.
The most important will be the Bur-
ritt-West Ends game on Diamond
No. at . o'clock. The West Ends
are only one game behind the Bur-
ritts and are coming fast: they
should make the leaders hustle to
pull out a victory and are practic-
ally even bets to win the game and
go into a tie for first place. Both
teams will be at their best, with
Blanchard working for the West
Edns and Rose or Zembko for the
Burritts.
The first game on Diamond No.
Will be between the Robins and the
Rangers. These teams are dead
locked at present and should put up
a worthwhile battle. Casey will
pitch for the Pirates. while 1t has
been announced that Scott will work
for the Robins if Wilson Is not in
shape. The Pirates will play the
Speedboys in the second game and
are fayorites to win, although the
Speedboys have a trick Of pulling
the unexpected. as they did when
they upset the Burritts. The OPP
posing pitchers will probably be

FALCONS FAVORED
TO Win TOMORROW
Kensington Team to Try and
Even Count in Series

The feature ball game for New
Britain fans tomorrow will be the
second clash between the Falcons
and the Kensington team in their
series for the best three out of five.
which will be played at ST. Mary's
field at o'clock.
The Falcons literally ran away
from the kensington crew when the
teams met in the first clash on the
kensington diamond a week ago
last Sunday and this tended some
what to dampen the ardor of the
supporters of the south end team.
Tomorrow, however, will be diff
ferent story from all appearances.
Kensington met the Corbin Red Sox
last Sunday in the first game of a
series with that team and although
defeated, it was not entirely poor
fielding that caused the defeat but
rathed the inability of the Kensing-
ton batters to solve the slants OF
Berg, hefty twirler of the Sox.
The team went to pieces in the
first game. Some say it was stage
fright. others say over-eagerness,
but whatever the cause, the fact
stands that the team smashed. Last
Sundays performance shows that
the Kensingtons have again found
themselves and they will be ready
to go to it tomorrow afternoon.
The Falcons, on the other hand.
feel confident that they will make
this game No. for them. Ihey
will present the same lineup as IN
the first game with the addition
probably of Joe KAMA who Is eX-
pected to b. in the game again.
Bruno KAMA or Ginger Cleary'
the Hartford hurler, will face the
Falcons, while Charlie Yale Is eX-
nected to do his stuff for kensing-
ton. A tight pitchers battle Is eX-
nec+ed and interest in the game Is
running high.
The Rangers and the Orioles will
hook up tomorrow in the second
contest for the junior city SEMI
pro championship. The teams are
nlaying q series of two out OF three
and the Rangers go into the game
tomorrow the prime favorltes 10

Rangers have one victory to their

For two whole days the Pitts
bursh Pirates have held a half
game lead in the hectic struggle
that grips the National league. This
performance, startling in view OF
the rapid fire changes in the stand
ing during the past week that has
seen the st. Louis Cardinals twice
dislodging the Pirates from the
peak, was accompanied yesterday
through the sterling pitching Of Joe
Bush, American league discard,
who blanked the Giants, 4 to 0.
At the same time Cincinnati Reds
took complete possession of the sec
ond place berth where the Cardinals
have been spending their time when
not at the stunt, with Eppa Rixey,

For the second straight day, the

Philadelphia three times came from
behind to take the lead. The Card
mails were in first place when they
encountered the Quaker town repre-
sentatives Thursday. Today they are
In third place and the Philadelphia
fans are wondering what could have
Injected such spirit OF lese majesty

The pitching feats Of Rixey and
Bush, who doled out three and four
hits respectively, were shared some
what by Tony Kaufman of Chicago,
who ran the Cubs winning streak to
six games by turning back the
Boston Braves, to /. The tribal
clan found Tony safely but five
times. Grimm's homer with a man
on in the sixth would have been
enough to win the game.

second place in the American league.
Tony Lazerri bumped one out of the
park in the fourth with two on for
his 18th circuit clout of the year.
Harry Heilmann landed four of the
Tigers eight hits.
st. Louis Browns took unto them
selves little satisfaction when they
broke the jinx that has logged them
at Shibe park this season. The
Browns took their first game from
Philadelphia here in ten starts,

with four hits in four appearances
At the plate.
Cleveland took two from the Bos-

for the Chicago White Sox, who

one to bring victory to the Union

an again fate dished UP a defeat
for the tail enders. On this occa
sion the Russwins were the winners
by the score of G to ?.
The losers started off in impress
sive fashion and scored twice in the
opening inning. With one out Nell
sol got on when Mcnamara dropped
his fly. He went to second and La
gerlof got a life on first when Nor
ELI mussed up his grounder. Chant
injected a single at this point. Nell
son scored and Lagerlof went to
third. The latter scored when Jer-
Wis fumbled Wolfe's grounder. That
ing as AL Blanchard was their COM
plete master from then on. Ten of
the Union Workers were sent to the
bench on strikes and the others
made feeble attempts to hit Blan-
chard's slants.
The winners scored once in the
first inning when Jeryis reached
fir on Meningitis error. a passed
ball, an infield out and a flelder's
choice gave them one. In the sec
ond inning they tied the score on
Scheidler's single and Eakowski's
single.
In the third inning they went into
the lead and were never in danger
from then on. Jervis drew a pass
to open the inning and he scored
on singles by Morelli and Blanchard.
Morelli counted when Schneider con-
nected with another single. They
scored another in the sixth on
singles by Cosgrove, Mcnamara and
Whitman. In the final frame they
scored one more when Hennessey
doubled after Jervis had been hit by
a pitched ball.
Chants pitching was the out
standing point for the losers. his
battling shoots sending six of the
winners to the bench via the strike
out route. Three fast double plays,
two by the losers and one by the
winners, were the features OF the
game. The hitting honors went to
Schneider who garnered three hits
out of four trips TO the plate, IN

romped home a winner by the score
of 10 to while in the afternoon,
after hard fought battle, New
Britain took the state championship
from New Haven by the score of
to 2.
1t was a heart breaker for the
Elm City team, but it was glorious
victory for the locals. Riding into
the ninth inning with the score tied
at two all, the New Britain sluggers
started out to win and win they did
with a brace of runs in the final
frame.
The team had four errors. but
they were made when there WASH t
any danger of runners scoring. A
strong start and strong finish was
the story Of Mangan's charges bat
tie for the state title. Two runs
were brought in in the first inning
and New Britain had a good edge.
New Haven managed to get one in
the sixth and through great playing
the score was tied in the eighth.
Then New Britain came in to bat
and the story finishes right there.
The locals pushed across two runs
and then held New Haven scoreless
in their half of the ninth.
Morey, twirling for the New Brit
ain team, turned in nifty game al
lowing New Haven only four hits.
On the other hand, Curran. pitching
for the Elm City aggregation. al
lowed the same number. Morey al
lowed only one base on balls and
Curran two while Morey struck out
three and Curran five. Sapkowski

bat.
Following the game, State Com
mander Harry C. Jackson, himself
a member of Eddy-Glover post, pre-
scented Coach Larry Mangan with
the silver loving cup offered as the
state trophy. Then the visitors were
taken to Savin Rock and to Wilcox S
Pier where a banquet was served.

day in the field with two beautiful
throws to home plate to catch run

cided. The second game will prob
ally be played on September II.
The news that New Britain had
won the state championship was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm in this
city. The credit for the victory
must go to the boys who make up
the team, but a lions share of the
congratulations must also go to Lar

who for over two months, has drill
ed the boys in the tricks Of the game
