 TR0UNCE INSILCOS
Local Baseball Team Beats
 Meriden Easily ' to1

The Corbin Rcd Sox handed the Meriden Insilcos 2 to l trounc- ing at Hanover park yesterday in the opening game Of the Silver City team. The local tribe had two big innings wherein they punched hits and their opponents punched passes and misplays. On the sur face. the local entry in the newly formed Central Connecticut base ball league, has big edge on the Silver City representative.
 It was a case of too much pitcher" for the Jnsilcos because with the hurling assignment being divided between Buckland and Berg. the Meriden swatters could secure only two hits in the nine innings.
 Mickey Huber sent out the first hit for the Red Sox in the second, single, but was stranded. Blan- chard walked to start things in the third. Buckland also drew a pass putting two on. Snyder pulled a neat bunt down the third base line and dove head first to safety at first. This left the bases damned. Preisser hit to Lundeville at third and his throw hit Blanchard in the back and both Al and Buckland counted. F'itz was thrown out at first but Huband hit to right and Snyder and "Goodie" scored. l c h4< out in order.
 Blanchard started the trouble again in the next inning with a single over second. He went to third when Silverman muffed Buckland's fly. Blanchard tallied when Snyder hit to third and Lundeville essayed to throw him out at first. Snyder was again safe. Preisser pushed both men along with neat sacrifice and Buggy" brought the two runners home with nasty Texas leaguer.
 Dalke scored Meriden's only counter. He was safe on a huff by Huber. silverman pushed a single past Fitzpatrick and Dalke went to second. Johnson was hit by pitch ed ball and the runners all moved up. Dalke came in as Fitzpatrick took Curylo's hopper and tagged third base.
 A fast double play killed Meri- den rally in the sixth. Lundeville got a lift when Fitz threw his daisy cutter over Blanchard's head. the runner stopping at second. Hackbarth pushed him to third but Patoske hit to Schmidt who got his man at first. A pretty play was enacted here as Blanchard quickly whipped the ball home to get Lundeville sliding in.

By the Associated Press,


 Wider gaps separated the league leading New York baseball teams from their pennant rivals today as result of the latest games.
 The Giants drew ahead of the field by beating the Cincinnati Reds for tho second time in row. while the Yankees, though idle. added to their lead through defeat of the White Sox and Athletics. their nearest rivals.
 Led by Hornsby and Terry the Giant sluggers riddle the Reds best pitchers while Hugh McQuillan pitched a steady brand of ball. The final count was 6 to 3. Hornsby's hitting mark for the day was .750 while Terry's was 800 with one of his hits a homer.
 Pittsburgh's Pirates, moved ahead of the Cardinals to second place when they defeated the Robins by 2 to 6 while the Cards were having a day off
 A retuvenated Brooklyn team which has risen out of the cellar in the last few days gave the Bucca- neers a hard tussle for their to win. Making five runs in the fifth. the Robins knocked Lee Meadows out of the box and tied the score. only to lose out later when the Pirate heavy hitters resumed their onslaught on five of the best pitch CTS Uncle Robbie could produce.
 1-psets marked both of the games played in the American league and both of them benefited the Yankees who were rained out of their sched uled game with Detroit.
 Their nearest rivals. the White Sox, lost close decision 10 the Red So1, ? to 1. through punched Bos ton hits and a costly Chicago errors. The wearers of the red hose made only four safe blows to nine for the white socked ones. but tbree of them were punched in the first inning. plus a sacrifice and Talks wild throw to the inf1eld. they netted two runs and a game that was badly needed by Carrigan's charges to help them out of the cellar.
 Another team that vainly outhit the enemy but lost was Connie Mack's aggregation, the next near est rivals of the Tanks. With the bases full, schang of the Browns poled out homer in the third and the advantage was too much for the As to overcome. The Browns won.

FOOTBALL CzAR IDEA PLEASES
One Man to Have Control Over
 Naming Officials

New York, May 16 - (UP) - A new plan for eliminating charges of favoritism in the rulings of col legiate football officials will be in effect for ten leading eastern uni- versailles next fall. Gridiron authori- ties believed today the plan would be made permanent in the east and probably would spread to middle western and far western schools if it proves satisfactory.
 One man will be given virtually absolute control over naming of officials for games of the ton schools. under an agreement adopted by coaches for Yale, Princeton, liar yard, Dartmouth. Cornell, Pennsyl- vania, Columbia, Brown. Army and Navy.
 The system, 1t was predicted, would result in choice Of officials free from any feeling of obligation or responsibility to either contest ing team.'
 The agreement is frank attempt 70 eliminate whispered criticisms emanating from smaller universities, where it has been charged that be- cause football officials receive larger fees from big schools than from small ones, they are under an obli- gation which sometimes seems 10 interfere with strict impartiallty in rulings on the field.
 The plan was hailed by football men as the greatest advance in eliminating criticism Of the game since the custom Of permitting offl- cials or graduates ot universities to referee games in which their schools participated was abandoned years ago.
 No football alliance of any sort is likely to grow out of the meeting of the ten coaches, it was said after their meeting yesterday. In fact. the desire of the coaches is to spread the plan they evolved to as many other schools as possible.
 William s. Langford, secretary of the football rules committee, and Dr. James A. Rabbit, chairman of the central board Of football off, cials, were mentioned as possible for the difficult post.
