WASHINGTON MEETS
 FALCONS SUNDAY
Teams to Play Fourth Game Of
 Series at St. Mary's

The Kensington and Falcon teams will clash tomorrow afternoon at o:30 o'clock sharp at St. Mary's field in the fourth game of the series between the two teams. This will be the clash of clashes for the base ball fans of the city and will draw more interest, it is thought than any other game this year. The teams have played three games already with each winning one but the third, played a week ago last Sunday, went .19 innings with the score tied at 1 all until darkness prevented turth- CT play.
 So evenly are the teams matched, that it is the hardest thing in the world to pick a winner. The back CTS of both teams are convinced that the team that gets the better pitch ing, will win the game. The fingers for Sundays game have not yet been picked, but it is thought that Man ager Joe Venski will pick "Ginger' Cleary while Buckley will pick Farmer" BuchoIz. If these two go in, they will resume the battle which ended without a decision in the tie q week ago last Sunday.
 The Falcons are hot after this series. So warm have the packers of the team become that they will bet their shirts tomorrow that the team will come through. Still, Ken sington has been SO riled up over this series which is proving to be one Of the best ever played in this city, that the entire Berlin Savings bank will be moved 10 St. Mary's field to- morrow.
 Mike Lynch and Ripper McKeon have been selected as the umpires for tho game. Mike" will be be- hind the bat while Mckeon will be on bases. These two are expected to officiate in their usual efficient man. nor and that means that q real base ball game will be In progress all the time.
 Both teams have held practice 8 ssions during inc past week and both managers say their squads arc ready. The lincups will be prac- tically inc same as they have been in the last few games with the cX- ception of Joe Kania on the Falcon squad. Joc has entered college but It is expected that DeVito will re place him. Neither team can pad it's lineup without the penalty of for feiting certified check for $10o which has been deposited with the sports editor of the Herald" As both managers have submitted a list Of players. any vacancies in the absence of the permission Of the other manager must he filled from this list.

.PENNOCK MAY SET
 NEW WORLD'S MARK
Yankee TWirler Has Chance to
 Tie Record Of Jack C0OmbS

New York, Sept. 25 P,-The world series pitching record of five victor ies and no defeats, held by the old Colby Cannonader, John Wesley Coombs, is menaced by only one man, Herb Pennock, in the ap- preaching baseball championship classic, And it would take three tri- umphs by the frail, wiIlowy Yankee southpaw to equal the mark of Col by Jack.
 Chief Bender, old teammate of Coombs on the Athletics, holds the distinction of gaining the most world series victories, six, but the famous Chippewa Indian tasted sev- eral defeats. Coobs' perfect record was achieved as the result of three victories in 1910 and one in 1911 with the Athletics, his fifth coming in 1916 when he had transferred rhis allegiance to Brooklyn.
 Coombs' mark of three victories in one series is shared by three oth- CT mound heroes, the late Christy Mathewson. who gave added lustre to his 1905 feat by making all of his games shut-outs against the Athletics; Babe Adams, who regis tered three triumphs for the Pirates over Detroit in 1909; and Stanley Coveleskie, three-time victor for Cleveland over Brooklyn in 1920. "Covey' had a chance last fall to tie or surpass Coombs' mark but was beaten in both of his starts for Washington against the Pirates.
 Pennock got his first baptism of world series fire in 1914 when he was a youngster with the Athletics but it consisted only of three in nings' work as a relief twirler. His big effort was in 1923, when he pitched the Yankees to two victor ies over the Giants and helped clinch the world series for the Hugmen.
 Outstanding facts on world series pitching follow:
 Ed. Ruelbach of the Chicago Cubs allowed the 'hitless wonders" the White SoX of 1906, only one hit.
 There have been five two-hit games pitched by Ed Walsh of the White Sox, Mordecai Brown of the Cubs Eddie Plank of the Athletics, Bill James of the Braves and Waite Hoyt of the Yankees.
 Walter Johnson of the Senators in 1924 equalled Ed Walshs 1906 record for strikeouts in one game, wi twelve on the opening day of the Giants-Senators series, a 12-in- ming battle.
 Jack Coombs issued fourteen passes in the 1910 series, nine of them in one game.
 Art Nehf of the Giants has all lowed 31 bases on balls in the four series in which he has appeared.
 Jeff Tesreau had three wild pitches in the Red Sox-Giants bat ties of 1912.
 The late Wild Bull Donovan hit three batsmen in the series of 1907 between the Tigers and Cubs.
 Four pitchers have suffered five defeats In the baseball classics, Plank, Mathewson, Rube Marquard and Joe Bush.
 Mathewson holds the record for all-time world series mound work 10S 2-3 innings in four series; also the most for one series. 29 2-3.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM PLAYS
 SUFFZELD THERE TODAY
Coach Cassidy About Decided on Lineup For First Game-Several Changes in Positions Effected Dur. ing the Past Week--Contest Will Be Practice Game-Locals Show Much Power in Practice Ses. sions-Team Followers Expect Victory.

The New Britain High school football team will play the Suffield Preparatory school team in that town this afternoon in the opening same of the 1926 season. It will be practice session for both teams as the real season does not open until week from today. The of- ficials who will be in charge of the game will be picked from among the Suffield men.
 According 10 the way in which the team has been lining up in the practice sessions under the direc- ton of Head Coach George M. Cas- sidy, plenty of power should bs shown by the local squad in it's first gridiron tilt. The lineup for to- days game will probably be as fol- lows: McGrath, center: Erickson, and Bruce, guards; Anselmo and Bromberg, tackles; Zehrcr and Cor den, ends: Fengler. quarterback; Claire and Zaleski, half backs and Matulis, fullback.
 A number of changes have been effected in the team because of the development shown by several of the candidates. Bruce has been shifted back 10 guard where he starred last year. Coach Cassidy was trying him out at tackle and shifted An- selmo to guard, but he finds now that the change would not be of 8 benefit to the team. Zaleski has replaced Carlson in the backfeld. Zaleski has shown a lot of stuff in the scrjmmages and much is ex- pected of him this year. Erickson has replaced Scully at guard, due 10 his great work during the past week
 The game this afternoon will start at 2:30 o'clock with the New Britain team leaving at 12 noon. Those who have been following the prac- tice sessions engaged in, are eager to watch the team so through game and for that reason, are likely to accompany the team on it's journey.

Only five catchers now perform ing in the majors have worked in 1000 or more games during their major league careers.
 Ralph "Cy Perkins, veteran star of the Philadelphia Athletics, joined the select circle the other day.
 Thcother four who have won such distinction are Ray Schalk of the Chicago White Sox, WalIy Schang of the St. Louis Browns, Hank Severeid of the New York Yankees and Frank Snyder, formerly of the Giants, but now with the Cardinals.
 l. is a rather peculiar coincidence that the names of these four per formers begin with the letter "S.' The entry of Perkins into the list breaks the spell of that letter.
 Perkins has been with the Ath- leties nine years, which means he has averaged better than 100 games per season back of the bat.
 Over Q stretch of five years, cX- tending from 1920 to 1924, Perkins worked harder than any of the other veterans over the same period.
 In 1IS Games Twice
 Tn 1920 he took part in 148 games, while in the four years that fol- lowed he caught in Al. l4S, 14% and 12S contests, making a total of 70S games, or an average of 142 for the five years of play.
 It is also a rather interesting fact that Perkins celebrated game "999' by catching the great Lefty" Grove in the first big league tilt ever played in Philadelphia on Sunday. Incidentally, timely hit by "Cy' won the game.
 Aside from being one of the very few modern catchers to take part in 1000 or more games, Perkins holds another endurance record that may be questioned as an honor.
 It is a certainty that during his nine years with Philadelphia, Per kins has handled the deliveries of more pitchers than any catcher that has performed under the big tent.
 With Last Place Teams
 During most of his career with the Athletics the club was a tail ender, hopeless. In an effort 10 get somewhere, Connie Mack cXperi- mented with every pitcher that was recommended to him. It was up 10 Perkins to do the catching.
 The sensational showing of the rookie catcher, Mickey Cochranc, last season, both in the field and at the bat, temporarily thrust Perkins into the background He caught only 65 games in 1925. This year he IS going as well as ever again,
 Perkins is hopeful of catching in at least 500 more games and wouldn't be surprised if he kept going for another 1000.
