right now. with a pitcher playing right field. none of the pitchers going any too well in the box and the sluggers whose averages look fine on paper falling down in pinches. After winning two out of three from Springfield, the Senators fell before Ptttsfeld. Waterbury and twice be- fore Albany in four days. Hartford Is without a doubt one of the best baseball cities In New England and ths fans are entitled to a better brand of ball than they are getting. Changing managers without strengthening the team does not help win ball games, and after all, it matters little in the standing of the clubs whether a team has six 300 hitters or none at all if the sluggers pop up flies instead Of sacrificing at the right time.
 Tommy Comickey, Hartford third baseman. is one of those players who keeps well above 300 the sea- son round, but in a pinch he can't nit one on the ground to save his neck, or his team. Naturally a left field hitter, he has been trying all season to hit to right and the result is high flies to right and center. When he stands up naturally and whales away, he can bound hits off the left field wall with the best of them, but with Tommy it seems to be a case of developing a style in preference to producing hits.
 Bobby" Emmerich of Albany, Oberc of Bridgeport or McGowan of New Haven. would look like a million dollars with Hartford.
 Leo Mangum, young catcher who warmed the bench the greater part oi the season while Buddy Knox worked overtime and is now on the sick list, shapes up we'll and with a
 i,tle more experience should de- Eelop into an Al receiver. He is ight. but fast and heady, and throws accurately. He is one of the surest backstops in the Eastern league on foul flies. The Hartford pitchers. especially Lynch. and ex- cluding Earl Johnson, allow runners 70 take such leads off first base that Mangum has to hurry and throw like bullet to prevent stolen bases. Yesterday and the day before. En- merich Of Albany ran wild on the bases. stealing at will, but every time he started he was almost one quarter of the way down before the pitcher threw the ball. Mangum nailed Fraser Mum and McCorry | with pretty throws in yesterdays 1 game.
 You'd have been manager if you stayed here while longer, Chick" a Hartford fan called to Chick" i Fraser, Albany outflelder who was with Hartford last year. Chick" | got the joke and grinned broadly.
 You're 8 fine coach, Herman. ! You couldn't coach a fapper off a park bench" cash customer told i At Herman. Albany third baseman | yesterday, Herman coaches basket call and football at the Masse Prep school in Stamford,
 The Hartford fans found plenty to holler about on balls and strikes yesterday, One pop bottle went bounding out and fell within a few feet of the umpire-ln- chief in an exciting moment. .H
 Right now, the New Haven Profs look like champions. They have been climbing steadily and are the req; threat ot the Eastern league. They have sweet outfied with Gene Martin, Griffen and McGowan, and one of the best infeld combina- tions the Eastern league has ever mad,
