LAST FRAME SPURT
 WINS FOR FALCONS
Locals Beat WallingfOrd Len0X
 by a ' to s Score

The Falcons. with a timely spurt
 in the ninth innAg, won from the LenoX A. C. of Wallingford at St. Mary's field yesterday afternoon in
 game that was packed with thrills from the beginning to the end. In the first inning the Lenox col lected their first run on a single to center and a double. After this, however. Bruno Kania found himself and from then on until the ninth when he was sent to the showers,
 kept the hits of the Lenox we'll scattered.
 The Falcons enjoyed a big first 1 inning as we'll as an extra big ninth
 In their first turn at bat they pasted
 out five bingles that scored three
 runs. Haber started off with a single
 to left, and this was followed by a
 triple to the same place that went way over the fieldier's head. Only
 fast fielding prevented 1t from being a home run. Stanley Budnick was l irresponsible for this terrific smash. Another single by J. kania brought
 in Stanley. Simon Budnick and ko-
 pee followed with hits to the outer garden that scored Kania from | third.
 Another tally was scored in the | fifth when J. Kania tripled to left
 and scored on Simon Budnick's sac
 rifice fly to deep center. Buddy"
 connected with the ball right on the
 nose and it looked good for extra bases but Morgan leaped into the air and speared it with one hand. It
 was a great catch, and cut short a rally by the locals.
 In the ninth the Lenox, trailing
 5 to ?, started off with a rush and the locals were unable to stop them
 until they had taken the lead. Nor gan reached first on a wild heave while Reynolds landed on one for Ia home run. DeLucia singled and Miller doubled. Dutch" Leidke
 then came 10 the front by poking one through short scoring both run- ners. Cleary was on the mound when the NlSltOfS went to the front but he frightened up and retired the side without further scoring.
 In the locals time at bat Stanley Budnick lifted high fly in back of second that landed safe. He went to second on a sacrifice and took third when Simon Budnicl lifted q high fly just out of the reach of the inflelders in back of second. Liedke famed the next batter and things looked rosy for the LenoX. However, |"Waddy" Kopec with four hits to his credit, strode to the plate and Isent the first ball pitched to him on la line over second sending in both runners and winning the game.
 Besides the hitting of kopec, Joe Kania also came in for his share with three safe ones. All told the Falcons collected IT safe blows, six Of which were for extra bases. De Lucia led the Wallingford sluggers with four out of four. The score:

BRISTOL LEGION
 WINS FROM BERLIN
Brick Makers Lose Out in Ninth
 Inning in Saturdays Game
League Standing

The St. Anne team representing Seichprey Post, No. 2, of Bristol in the American Legion first district baseball league, took the Berlin team into camp Saturday evening in Bristol by the score of s to z in an exciting battle that was packed full with thrills.
 The game was finished in rain that had players on both teams soaked to the skin but though it should have been called in the seventh with the score Ito in favor of Bristol, but when Berlin de- murred, the Bell Cityites showed their good sportsmanship and stuck to their guns.
 Excitement reigned supreme in the ninth when Berlin tied the score but Bristol didn't lay down long but but three men on in their half and solid smash brought in the win- hing tally.
 Bristol showed much improve ment over the showing made against New Britain and the Bell City team bids fair to make things hot for all corners.
 Tonight New Britain will play Bristol at Muzzy Field in Bristol at 6 o'clock. Large numbers of Legion tans from this city will be on hand to watch the contest which should be a good one The score:

City League Standing

The Pirates crawled up half a game on the BurItts in the City league Saturday afternoon by com- ing from behind and pulling a Az victory out of the fire, the Rangers putting up their usual stubborn bat tie and succumbing only because Huggie Carlson was better than they were. The West Ends had a batting frolic at the expense of the Robins and smashed out 16-0 vic tory, Tommy Blanchard shutting out his opponents and outhitting them all by himself while Basil, the one-armed centerfielder of the win ners, got exactly the same number of hits and total bases as did the Robins. It was an afternoon of err TOTS, 2S misplays being set down in the sccrebook before the last man went out. The Burritt-Speedboy game was postponed until tonight.
 Pirates 4, Rangers ?
 Wretched fielding marred a beau tiful pitching duel as the Pirates triumphed over the Rangers, Az. Huggie Carlson was in wonderful form, permitting but four hits, while Joe Casey also pitched great ball, neither pitcher deserving to have any runs scored off him as was the case. Casey, however. contributed materially to his own downfall with an error during the Pirates winning rally in the sixth and thus paved the way for his own downfall.
 The Rangers took an early lead In the first inning Lindgren led off with hit and scored on errors by Claire and Howard. With two out in the fifth they made another by exactly the same procedure, Ken nedy singling and moving around on misplays by the Pirate third sacker and shortstop.
 The Pirates wipedH this lead out in the sixth. Zapatka hit safely and Carlson drew pass. A double steal work. Claire grounded Recano, and Zapatka was trapped between third and home, but he zigzaged back and forth until the whole Ranger inficld was working on him and then Casey dropped the ball and Zapatka scuttled back to third. With the bases loaded. and no one out Tankaskas tied the score win a solid hit and an error by Lindgren put the Pirates ahead.
 Red Matulis either was robbed or
 robbed himself of a home run in the eighth when he made one of the longest hits Walnut Hill park has ever witnessed. The ball travelled from Diamond No. 1 past the huge tree in center field and rolled to the tennis courts. Matulis, however, pulled up at third through over
 cautiousness on the part of himself or his coach and then when he tried to complete his trip around the bases fast fielding cut him down at the plate.
 Besides the fine work of both pitchers, the features were the con- sistent hitting of Pete Zapatka, who helped himself to four safe blows, and a fine running catch of Re- cano's long drive by Chick Charlow
 Matulis played pretty game at
 first. The left sife of the Pirate in field was woefully weak, making seven errors, but the Rangers could
 not hit Carlson hard enough to off,
 set even this large number of bob
 bles. The box score:

KENS|NGTON DROPS TOUGH BALL GAME
Meriden EDdeeS Win out 2 to 1
 in the Tenth Inning

A double and a single in the 10th inning yesterday snatched base ball game away from the Aiken sington team and gave the New De- parture team of Meriden a victory that belonged to anybody until the winning run was scored in the over time period. The score at the fin- ish stood to 1 in favor of Meriden and this in itself, will give an in dication of the tough battle the two teams engaged in. Sammy Massey crashed out a double in the 10th and Billy Dwyer's Texas leaguer dropped into short field. sending Massey in with the winning tally.
 Cygan allowed only three hits to Kensington while Fields was touch- ed up for 13 safe blows, But, when | it came to having men on the paths, Fields held the Meriden team in check at every opportunity. Neither team was able to score until Meridcn broke the ice in the sixth. Massey led of with a single and was sacrificed to second by IDwyer. Then Jimmy Alexander sent la ripping single into right field and Massey scampered home with the first run Of the game.
 Kensington hastened to get one across to tie the count in the sev- enth. Mccormick plastered q double along the left field line. He took third on Sheehans out at first and scampered home on Weir's rap to DWyer.
 Meriden staged a rally in the ninth but after two singles had been made. Zielke was thrown out at home while trying to score and the rally died natural death.
 Eddie Hart was the hitting baby of the game with four solid smashes in four trips. Sam Massey's play starred for Meriden and "Yiggs" Patrus shone for Kensington. Patrus was badly cut when he was spiked by Alexander while stealing second and when he came into the bench, he toppled over. He was taken to the Meriden hospital where several stitches were taken in his leg and he returned to his home last night. It is thought he will be laid up for some time. The score:

Holtman's handicap was just a little bit too much for kron and as those things go, Holtman, in the cham pionship play came through like Bill Tilden and served over an al most unbeatable play He and Meyers, who drew bye, will be in the second round.
 The singles matches carded for tonight are as follows: A Benson Ns. Van Opren; Christensen vs. Par sons; Leinhardt vs. V. Benson and Parker against Vogel. A doubles match was staged, not an official tournament match but an interest ing battle just the same between Christensen and Meyers and Vogel and Van Oppen. The latter team won after three hard fought sets in which slashing drives and terrific serves were passed over the net. William Louis Vogel kept up his spurt started last week and was the real cause of the victory for his team.
 The New Britain Tennis club team lost to the Meriden Y. NJ. c. A., 5 and 1 in Saturdays match. The Silver City racqueteers were too strong for the locals who have suf- fered two straight defeats in as many week-ends.
