CORBZMS LOSE TO RUSSNZN;
 LEAGUE3C CORNERED THE
MANY ROCKIES IN GAME EARN FAME
Past Years Have Seen Unknown
 Become Noted on Diamond

Who will be the next youth to star in q world series?
 With another baseball scramble shortly to begin, diamond fans arc wondering what Juvenile marvel will be next 10 find himself suddenly and unexpectedly hurled into the midst of the big fight 10 gain the October classic,
 Nearly all world series bring to the front q young stripling over looked al! the way through.
 Babe Adams perhaps was the first youth of importance to establish himself in q world series. Babe, now over 40, pitched and won three victories for tho Pirates of yore in 1909 against Detroit.
 Last october Adams took the hill in relief role and pitched against the Senators at Washington, facing youngsters who had not been born and who couldn't walk when he was tanning the Tigers of other years.
 In 1920, Ray Chapman was victim of one of Carl Mays stray twisters and death followed. Joe Scwell, q youngster from New Orleans. was rushed to Cleveland. He finished the season at short, Although he hadn't been with the Indians long enough 10 be eligible for the world series, Brooklyn permitted him to play.
 But for Chapman's unfortunate death, Sewell might still be in the 1 minors.
 In 1924, Heinie Groh faltered at third for the Giants. The youthful 1 Fred Lindstrom was showed over on the hot sack and did some remark able hitting against Washington, having a big day against Walter Johnson, a man who was blazing his way through the American league before Lindstrom was born. ! Earl McNeely. mere kid, decided the series for Washington.
 Last year. Ossie Bluege was bean ball victim at the hands of Vic Al dridgc, Pirate chucker. Bluege went out, To third base did Bucky Har- ris send the 20 year old Buddy Myer, just brought tip from New Orleans
 Myer looked more like the Senator bat boy from the grandstand than an infelder. Yet he filled in the strange berth at third for two days in neat style, although shortstop is i his regular position.
 Why, even the boy whose hit end' ed and decided the series is still a youth-Hazen "kiki' Cuyler.
 A few years ago Waite Hoyt, much of youngster. broke Art Nehf heart by hurling superb baseball against the Giants in one Of those Yankee Giant world series. At the time Hoyt was far from a seasoned veteran. yet a masterful twirler.
 Who'll be the next youth to smash into the world Series box scores Fans wonder.

 County "Y'

Tho South church won its game in the first round of the County "Y" senior league elimination tournament last night by handing q 34-2S defeat 10 tho East Berlin Y, M C, A. team nt Jewell hall, Hartford, The locals found them- selves confronted with the same team which they had met as West Cromwcll' the night before, and the game was an almost exact re- production of the previous one the six-point margin being tho same and the two teams rallying at idcn- tical points.

The two teams struggled on even terms for q while, then East Der lin moved ahead to 26-21 lead. New Britain here staged rally and knottcd the score. the points com ing on spectacular one-hand shot by Vessels. It was 2S-28 when the last frame opened; the South church was now fighting and East Berlin scored no more, while Adams found the range and pep pered the basket to give his team q win.
 Lanky Adams was high man on the scoring end, but much credit must go 10 Nye for his work in handling Randall. Havlick and Cooley kept Up a hot pace and Parker held Rumcry down, while Vessels came through with scores at critical moments. The foul shooting was very good. Again Randall was the whole works for East Berlin, playing a magnificent all-around game. D. Ramy also went well. The summary:

Detroit Tygcrs' Utility Men Arc in Great Demand In the American League, It Seems.

Despite the fact that the Detroit club is unable to win pennants, 1t has any number of substitute play CTS who would be regulars on most Of the other American league clubs.
 Rigney, who is subbing for Trave- nor at short, would be a regular with Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia or New York.

 The game started off in q burst of speed. Both teams were anxious 10 get the drop. For a drop in a cru cial game Is just the dobs. They tore at each other for two minutes and j10 seconds, during which few shots were taken and all were missed, when Joe Luke got the first point, being fouled by Arburr.
