League Standing

(
The Washington team won the
championship of the New Britain
Boys league yesterday when 1t
took the final game OF the year
from the Boys club team by the
score of to 8. Yesterdays game
was an important one for had the
winners lost, they would have been
tied with Paradist park for first
place and an extra game would
have been necessary. The Burritts
and Paradise park played game
which made record for time in
the league. Nine innings in which
the Paradise park team won, TO
2, were played in one hour and
seven minutes.
"Stubby" Pierkowski was in rare
form and the Washingtons beat the
Boys Club by a score of 6 to 5. The
game was damned with thrills from
the start to the finish, but the ex-
hibition turned in by the Washing
ton pitcher capped the afternoons
performance. He had Is strikeouts
and established a new record in the
league.
The Boys Club started off strong
and had the Washingtons on the de-
Tense during the early innings. The
champions, however, got their eye
on Schmarr's slants and worked
their way into the front and were
never headed after that. The club
team made a grand finish in the
ninth, when, after two batters were
retired, Pierkowski filled the bases
by walking three batters. A single
and a few wild heaves cleaned the
bases, but the Washington pitcher
frightened up and famed the next
batter, giving Washington its first
pennant.
The club team scored in the first
when Diner walked, stole second and
romped home on Neverauski's two
base hit to centerfeld. Pierowsh
then struck out the next three.
Washington also got run in the
first inning when Toczko singled to
left and scored when Skonieczny
tripled to right.
The club went into the lead in the
second when Jervis walked and
made the trip around the bases on
Zembrowski's long double to left.
This was the finish of the Boys Club
scoring until the ninth, when they
made a bid to take the game, but
the pitching of Pierkowski proved
too much for them.
The Washingtons in the second
scored three runs. Pierkowski
started the works by singing to
right field. Was hit to Schmarr,
who threw him out at first, while
Pierkowski made second. Kulesik
drew a free ticket to first, but La
bieniec famed. Pierkowski stole
third and Kulesik went to second on
the play. Todzia sent a long single
to right field which scored both
runners. He also scored a moment
later when Toczko tripled to left
field. The winners scored again in
the fourth when Labieniec walked,
stole second, went 10 J11ru on an
infeld misplay and rode home when
Toczko hit one at Schmarr which he
was unable to handle.
Toczko also brought in what
proved to be the winning run when
he reached first on an error. He
then went to third on Luty's long
hit to left. A wild pitch by Schmarr
saw him cross thep latter.
The club team made things hot
In the ninth. Bellmo walked. The
next batter famed. Two more
"walka' filled the bases. With two
strikes on Jervis he hit through sec
ond and the three runners scored on
series of wild throws. Jervis went
to second and stole third. Pierkow-
ski, however, got his bearings and
famed the next batter and won the
game.
Toczko with three hits was the
! leading clouter of the afternoon.
Skonieczny also hit hard for the
winners, while Zembrowski did ef-
fective work for the Boys Club.
