Tony Lazzert hit the ball over the left field fence at Navin Field. Owen Carroll. the Detroit pitcher, had passed Gehrig and Meusel to get at the Italian slugger.

OUT TO
 WIN TRACK MEET
Universal Athletes Training Hard for Coming Competition

The LAnders. Frary 6 Clark track team Is out this year to win thu Herald" trophy at the annual track and field meet of the Industria plants in this city. Only recently the hopes of the team seemed shattered when Earl Hick and Bliss Clark, two of the mainstays of the team resign. ed. Hick going to Stamford and Clark to college.
 However. Bill Weinberg, coach, re- vealed tho fact that there are fl candidates out for the team and every one of them looks like a win ner. Some of those out for honors are A. Kowalski, A. Deminsky. F. D'Angelo. A. Anderson. N. Wallace, E. Vofheart, L. Boilard. A. Karlan. L.. Arel, W. Weinberg, E. Brotherton and Jess Norton. This crew has been out practicing weekly and they are all showing excellent form.
 Jimmy Murphy, manager of the Stanley Rule team. has crew that will make them all travel, he thinks. Jimmy himself used to be a crack track man in the days when Lan- ders playground was the center of attraction for the kids and his knowledge gained from Warren Stat CT and Jack Rourke to say nothing of the benefits gained from expert coaching by Artie Pilz is being used in good stead now. Dan Healy and Ed Walthers form the nucleus of a trophy winning aggregation.
 Art Berg of R. & E. has appoint ed Peter Rakowski to manage the Red Shirts this year. Pete was a member of the winning team last year and he Is working hard to get his candidates in shape. Jimmy Maher, who in the old days used to clean up everything in sight in the dash events. will enter a lineup that will make all others hump to place.
 George Rawlings at the Stanley Works is another county to be heard from. George has championship tug-of-war team that plans nothing more joyful than walloping the Vul- can lIOu VOIhS lOlSClS. boloOA 9, IF. & F. Corbin and the Newmatics also have strong teams entered for this event.
 Joe Hergstrom, physical instructor at the Y. M. C. A.. has sent invita- tions to Whitey Nicholson of Stam- ford, veteran marathoner and na. tional IS mile champ and Charles Bachman of Meriden to compete in the mile open. Last year Dan Healy and Nicholson Tapped the field in the state "Y" meet in Waterbury. Bachman will be remembered as the man who gave Healy tough grind in the state "Y" Emile run. With these three in this event. 1t should be one of the main features of the meet.
 Every night will see the teams out practicing at Willow Brook park in anticipation of tough competition in the meet next month.

The latest team to pair up as a threat to the title holders Is the Murdock-Lienhard combination. Both Of these players have been going strong Individually though they have not played as team.
 Christensen and Vogel have again entered the tournament and they feel extraordinarily confident as Vogeis new racquet has improved his play 100 per cent.
 There are several other new com binations in the list of entries. Meyer and Anderson. former net stars, form a tough combination. Meyer was the runner-up in last years tournament. Hanson and Carlson are also out for honors. Hanson Is a former high school star who is now at Yale university.
 Duncan and Payor promise trou- ble for the other teams. These two has been playing together in pre- paration for the tournament and it is expected that they will make an impressive showing.

Seventh Inning Rally Gives Wln-
 nerS' 10 to 8 Victory

A seventh inning rally which net ted five runs gave the American Legion team a 10 to win over the Phantoms in a Junior City league game at Walnut Hill park last eve ming. The contest was called while the winners were at bat in the last of the seventh because of darkness.
 The Legion team took the lead in the final inning after they had gone to bat, three runs behind. Bog danski walked but was thrown out in an attempt to steal second. Wes- ley, batting for Truman. was hit by a pitched ball. Leardi, batting for Sapkowski, walked. Zujko reached first and both runners advanced . base on Levine's error.
 Zaleski brought the runners in when he smashed a long double to left. He reached third on Carrub- ba's error. Za1eski scored when Lip man grounded to Berkowitz and the latter fumbled the ball. Lipman stole second and reached third on a wild pitch. He scored on Garro's grounder to Berkowitz who fumbled again. At this point the game was called.

In the second they counted once on an error, two stolen bases and single. The winners scored once in the opening frame on two hits and a passed ball.

What Babe Ruth Is to baseball, Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory is to tennis. She has more color than a paint shop. In victory or defeat Mrs. Mallory has been & great copy producer.
 Like Babe Ruth, she has habit of rising to the occasion, doing her best in the crisis. This was best H. lustrated last year when she fought her way to the national champion ship, which Helen Wills, because of her operation for appendicitis. was unable to attend.
 A veteran campalgner over a dozen years. she came back last fall after most of the experts had counted her out as even remote championship possibility.
 When she was at the top of her game, which was back around 1919. Mrs. Mallory, then Molla Bjurstedt, was known as the wonder girl" of tennis. She was considered invinc- ible. About this time Suzanne Lenglen was making her bid for fame. Going abroad to compete, Mrs. Mallory was easily and de- cisively defeated by Mile. Lenglen. This match marked the fall of Nal lory and the rise of Lenglen.
 During her colorful career. Mrs. Mallory has won scores of titles, but she tells you that no match ever gave her quite as much satisfaction as her victory over Lenglen in a return match, the French girl quit ting the courts and defaulting after the first set.
 The match was scheduled for Forest Hills. It was the most dis cussed sport event of the day. America was to get Its first chance to give Suzanne Lenglen the once over. Critics had pronounced her the greatest tennis player of all time. She has since lived up to that repu- tation, but against Mrs. Mallory in her first American appearance, she was a terrible disappointment, a complete "bust'.
 soundly beaten in the first set, e-2, Lenglen collapsed, due to previous illness and defaulted. In some quar- ters, it was insisted she quit cold with defeat staring her in the face. This may have been an injustice but in many circles the feeling still pre- vails.

League Standing

The final games in the Rotary Boys Baseball league were played yesterday afternoon at Walnut Hill park. The Nathan Hale team nosed out the Willow Brook crew on Dia- mond No. and thereby prevented the losers from going into third place. In the other game played, tho Burritts trounced the Y. M. c. A. and thereby conceded to the "Y" team the honor of occuping alone the cellar position.
 Burritts 18, Y. M. c. A.
 The Burritt team defeated the Y. M. c. A. in the game to decide which was to occupy the cellar. the final score being 1915. The affair was very poorly played and uninterest- ing, both sides making inexcusa ble errors on the easiest chances pos sible. In the first inning the win- ners made nine runs of Gattings and still had only one man out when the "" pitcher was forced to re- tire. Joseph took his place and got the next two men. He did fairly well during the balance of the game until the ninth, when he was nicked for five straight hits and as many runs. Despite woeful support, Nichisti kept the r. M. c. A. under control at all times and permitted but five hits.
 Olewnik hit hard. getting three doubles. Janshion played beauti- full game at third base, accepting ten difficult chances without the sem blance of a tumble. Nevedomski pulled a good one when. on what looked like a clean single. he threw from left field to force Carlo Wit ham at second base. The summary:
