Brave to a Giant in single day.
Taylor scored one Of the two runs

when they counted.
Washington has been a Jonah for
the White Sox before and proved
so again yesterday in shutting out
the second place tenants, 10 to 0,
for the third straight win Of the
series. Last season it was the Sena-
tors who cost the White Sox share
OF the world series players purse by
taking fourth in the standings while
the Sox were forced into fifth. Today
their victory had the Sox totterins
on the edge Of their second place
shelf. Fifteen Washington hits off
two pitchers while the visitors were
getting but three from the delivery

BOXERS
At CAPITAL CITY
Amateur Team From Dominion
to Battle Connecticut Boys

The Canadian amateur boxing
team of eight men, which will en-
gage leading Connecticut amateurs
in the feature events Of the Mas
sasoit A. c. show at the Hartford
velodrome Tuesday night, is the
most representative amateur boxing
team ever sent from the Dominion
across the border into the United
States.
The team includes seven boys
who are champions in their own
right some champions OF the
entire Dominion of Canada and
others of the province Of Quebec,
where the amateur game tlourishes.
The Canadians will have a good
rest in Hartford after their arrival
from Montreal and will be fresh
and fit when they step into the
ring over at the big arena on the
Connecticut boulevard.
Ed Hurley OF the Massasoit club
has marshalled the pick of Con-
necticut amateurs to repel the In
vaslon of the rugged youngsters
from the land where Canadian Club
still holds its place in good society.
The first bout Is slated for Sis.
daylight time.
The coming visit of the Canadians
has made a great stir in local ANA
teur boxing circles and it is ex-
pected that 1900 will see the in
ternational scraps tomorrow night.
Ernie Metevier, manager and
trainer OF the Canadian team, has
sent this wire to the Massasoit
club:
You can tell Connecticut ANA
teur fans We are bringing a real
boxing team, in good shape and
trained to the minute. Ready to
make a clean sweep Of your boys"

Doping the world series is a most
difficult task. Very often the play
ors least considered in making com
parsons are the very men who up
set all calculations by their failure
TO run true to form.
There never was a better example
Of this truth than the case Of
Tommy Thevenow, star shortstop Of
the st. Louis Cardinals, in the 1926
classic with the Yankees.
In all the advance dope Thevenow
was rated as a great defensive
ball player. most Of the experts CIV
ing him the edge over Koenig of the
Yankees in this respect At the
bat, no Babe Ruth. No one looked
for him to be Of any great value to
the Cardinals on the offensive.
Past performances usually means
little or nothing in world series and
the case of Thevenow, in this re-
spect, proved to be no exception to
New Britain herald., 1927-06-14

the rule.
During his entire career in the
minors, Thevenow never once
reached the 300 batting mark. A
great fielder. he was regarded a
valuable man If only batting $50,
which is close to his regular average
In the 1926 series between the
Yankees and the Cardinals Theve-
now threw the dope to the winds
He was the only player in the
series to bat 400 or better. His
mark, to be exact, was just II points
over He piled up 10 hits in "a
chances.
In the field, Thevenow ran true to
form. He made a number of SEN
sational fielding plays to spoil sew
eral Yankee rallies. At the bat, his
timely hits gave the Cards an I'M
expected punch that just about as
sured them of a world champion
ship.

South vs.. St. Mats
The South church outplayed the
st. Mats in every department and
won by So, showing by far its best
form of the season. The losers
were without the services Of Eddie
Preisser, who is i'll with scarlet few

the team was as strong as ever.
Billy Darrow pitched great ball, al
lowing seven hits, and he received
alright support. The st. Matt in
field was erratic.
After setting the winners down in
order, the st. Mats scored their two
runs in the first inning. Billy Preis-
ser was safe when barrow fell in
fielding his bunt and Neumann's at
tempted bunt popped over Rock
wells head for hit. Klopp was an

hit. Darrow threw wildly in trying
to pick Linn off second and Neu-

In the third inning the South
church made four runs after two

ing catch. Rockwell beat out a bunt
Bill barrow flied out, but Parker
got an infield hit and Morey laid
down bunt so perfect that it could
not be fielded. The bases were full
when Hammy Darrow came to the
plate: he smashed a hit through
the box on the first pitch, scoring
two men, and Morev scored when
the return from the field was wide
Otto Suess was taken from the box
and Preisser took his place, but
Barta greeted him with a single

third, and kept on to the plate on a

ended by a double play.

twenty-five years
ago on the 18th day of

Penney started a gen
eral dry goods store in
a small mining camp in
the mountains of Wy

no thin g pretentious
about this little retail
shop; Mr.. Penney had the
urgent needs Of the pres
ent to think about rather
than spending his time in
visioning the future.
There was something
different about that lit
tie store. There was
ever present the gra-
cious smile, the desire
to give helpful service
10 every customer, the
insistence that everybody
passing through its door
ahould have a square deal
and at least 100 cents
worth for every dollar.
DiIigent application,
hard work, study, con-
stantly improving SER
vice these were some
of theaoutstanding fac
tors which soon won
favor for MIR. Penney's
little retail shop and
caused him to plan other
stores where his kind of
storekeeping could be en-
joyed by greater numbers
of people.
