DUSTY LEAGUERS
 PLAY LOOSE GAMES
Union Works Gets IS Hits to
 FaInir'S Seven But Loses
League Standing


 in the New Britain Industrial league at Willow Brook park Saturday and in both of them, slugfests were the order of the day. Russwins ran away from the New Britain Ma chiAe aud Fafnirs took a game from the Union Works that should have been counted in the win column for the Cellar Champs. Union Works go: 1& h. 5 to Fafnirs' seven but still could r. win.
 Will Never Win
 When the Union Works couldE :; win Saturdays game from the Fa l. mir team after getting a lead of nine runs before the Bearing Makers could score a lone tally, the Union Works won't win game in this years Industrial league. Everything was in favor of the Cellar Champs to come through with their first vic- tory but they booted grounders, threw the ball all around the lot until they threw the ball game away II to 10. The winning run. it is true Was SCOTGu III lllc IliHllli bul u 'iic Union Works players had played even a little bit of baseball they would have won.
 Billy Chant pitched a wonderful game and his mates backed him up with plenty of hits, but when the Fafnir batters sent out a ground ball of any description. it was as good as hit and eight errors committed behind the great slab work of Chan ty, gave Fafnirs a game that they didn't deserve. Chant struck out 10 and walked only two and allowed seven hits in the nine innings, while the Union Works garnered IT hits off the slants of Keehner and J. Havlick and yet couldn't win the game.
 Union Works crashed out hits in the first, second and fourth and scored three runs in each frame glv- ing them lead of nine to nothing. Fafnirs came back and in the fifth and on two hits, scored five runs. In the sixth, on one more hit, they SCOT ed three more runs. One other hit in the seventh was made by the Bearing Makers. but still they scored two to go into the lead.
 Union Works tied the score in the ninth. but with two out in their half the Bearing Makers chased A. Hav- lick across with the winning tally It was terrible game from all angles with plenty of hitting by the losing team but awful fielding by the Union Workers. There weren't any features outside of the work ot Billy Chant. The score:

West Ends 16, Robins o

Sensational pitching and hitting by Tommy Blanchard, combined with the total collapse of the Robin defense, gave the West Ends an easy 16-0 victory on Diamond No. ?. Blanchard outhit the entire op- posing team, allowing them a double and two singles and lining out two doubles and a single himself. He struck out IA batters, three of them in a row with man on third, and so helpless did he have the Robins swinging that only one fly ball went | to the outtield. It was the first shutout of the league season.
 After Basil had hit long fly in the first inning, Campbell walked and Manyak and Cormier were safe on errors, Campbell scoring. Blanch- ard smacked his first double on to the tennis courts, the ground rule alone prevents a home run. A hit l by Patterson and another pair of errors made it 50. The West Ends scored their runs by lives, getting aonther quintet in the third and 1 driving Tommy Wilson from the box and then slamming "Kopchic" for a ! third set more in the fourth. After that they easted up and contented l themselves with one more encount- CT, although hits~and errors kept men on the bases. .- ..-.
 The only real threat to Blanchard was in the eighth, when, one away. Kopchic was safe on Manyaks bob ble. Meehan walked and a double steal worked, putting men on sec ond and third. Blanchard famed Makula, but Hitler dropped the ball and was afraid to throw to first. l This did not bother Blanchard at all, and he went right to work and struck out Roy and Mottola in work manlike fashion. Cowles doubles in the ninth, but fielder's choice and a foul left him stranded on third.
 Basil was another who collected three hits, one of them a double, while all the West Ends except Mil Ter made at least one hit each. Cowles was the only Robins who could find Blanchard's offerings with effect. Paterson made agreat one handed stop in back of second, while Cowles turned in several neat catches in center field. Makula start ed a double play and was the only Robin infielder who played baseball; the rest had a most diverting game of soccer. The box score:

 Russwtns Win

RuSSWtnS Win
 In a free hitting and a loosely played game the Russwins took the measure of the Newmatics Saturday afternoon. The result was shut out for the Newmatics, while the Russwins scored IS runs.
 Turner the big lad TOT the New matics was on the mound and burned them over in such manner that thirteen of the Russwin bat ters were victims of his slants. The support offered to this lad was very poor and caused him to lose. On top of this Turner weakened towards the end and the Hardware lads put the game on the ice.
 The game went along at a neat pace until the fourth frame when the Newmatics went to pieces, un- der a shower of drives. From then on it was a walkaway for the win ners. The Russwins started their scoring in the third inning when Jervis first man up sent out the first hit of the game clean single to right. The next two men went out in order. Then came slash ing hit off the bat of Goodrich to right field scoring the runner. Blanchard poked one out to the center garden with Goodrich going to third. Scheidler's hard hit ground CT went through the shortstops legs and both runners scored.
 In the fourth the fireworks con- tinued again with the winners SCOT ing four. Numerous misplays fol- lowed by two hits did the trick. The barrage was continued in the re- maining innings, with the Russwins stepping way out in the lead. The Newmatics made several efforts to rally, but each spurt was nipped by the right hand slants of Blanchard and his mates.
 Scheidler, center fielder for the Russwins put in a busy afternoon stabbing flies over his mead and picking them off his shoe tops. It was a neat exhibition of outer gar den work. Whitman with his three singles led the Russwin patters for

Habits, and DR.. Louise Stanley.

short of what 1t should eat, from
the standpoint Of nutrition and
health?" asked DR.. Stanley, in
opening the conference today.
How can one judge of the many
problems Of production and distri-
button Of foodstuffs, until the ques-
ton of food consumption is scien-
tifically analysed?
How can we apply to the best
advantage our increasing knowledge
Of nutrition, until we know what
the present dietary Of the American
family is?"
Delegates from leading universi-
ties, women's magazines, life insur-
ance companies, etc., are attending

Tilden deplored what he term. ed the over-emphasis of technicali- ties in maintaining amateur stand. ing. The average age of champions In all sports, he also said, Is rising up into the sos aNd 40s.
 Football. the tennis champion said, 'commercialize the collective ability of the players. although not the individual. Of course this money does not go 10 the player. but it might just as well. for commercial ization presents all the evils of pro- fessionalism, The same situation holds in the realm of tennis.
 "Tha game has been commercial ized to the point where all the fauls of professionalism are extent in its present makeup. and many controversies result. Therefore, if we are to have this commercialism of all sports, why not pay the indi- vidual player?
 After all he is the one who does the work. I am staunch support CT of athletes such as Red Grange, who turns professional. and are so widely criticised for their action. It would do no harm to pay the col lege football player"
