 The first intersectional skirnish between major league contenders this season put four eastern teams on tho defensive in the National league today.
 The struggles bulged with promise of hard fought battles. and indica- tions were that New York would supply tho battle ground for many of them. The acquisition of Rogers Hornsby and Eddie Roush by John McGraw. the threatening early sea- son attack of the club and deep rooted rivalry between the men of Gotham and the cohorts of St. Louis. Cincinnati. Chicago and Pitts burgh, supplied some of the back ground for expectations Of fire works.
 While their pitching thus far has been unsteady, the Giants yesterday rave further indication that the 3hock Of the western offensive will he received with a heavy blast of hitting. Hornsby again touched off tho big gun in a New York rally which routed the Robins, to 1. pol ing out a home run with two rum ners on base to clinch the victory. Rogers circuit smash was the climax of seventh inning spurt that upset Jess Petty after he had blanked his foes for five innings.
 Today the Giants were paired off against the fifth place Cubs, while Brooklyn took on the league-leading St. Louis Cardinals, who rode to vic tory over the Pirates. Az, behind masterfui pitching of Grover Alex ander. The other two melees put the tail-end Cincinnati Reds against Boston and the Pirates against Phil adelphia.
 Second division teams staged a general uprising yesterday in the American league, which sent its eastern clubs westward today. Out standing in the results was the tam- ing of Yankee sluggers by Washing tons recruit righthander. Hoarce Lisenbee.
 Tho former Memphis Chick cut the Hugmen down with six hits and trounced them, 6 to 1.
 The box score showed six Yankee errors, but Tony Lazzeri escaped. Lazzeri now has played twenty suc- cessive games at second base with out making Hub.
 Two intention. passes to Heilmann and Blue in the ninth inning failed to accomplish their purpose for the Chicago White Sox. The free tickets loaded the bases with Detroit play CTS and Marty McManus, picked as the soft spot" spoiled tl,e party by singling to center. Gehringer came across with the winning run.
 Ira Flagstead's pinch home run rave the Red Sox their fourth vic- tory of tho season, to :, at the expense of the Athletics. Flagstead made his drive in the eighth with ono man on base.

Pepe received m injury to his left eye in the second round that forced him to refuse to come out for the third and Mastro is credited with . technical knock out over him. Pope was ahead in tho point margin and was getting to Mastro with hard punches when the injury took place.
 Ray Taylor. flashing his old time form. knocked out Joe Guddie of Springfield in the second round of their bout in>the 130 pound class. Taylor. always on the offense. found Guddie's body frequently with hard smasles and on 2 sudden cross to the jaw. sent the Springfield boy down for the count.
 Rollo Roland Of Waterbury was given a close decision over Gene Martin of Terryville in three rounds. They fought at 140 pounds. Roland who gave Battalino oue of the hardest fights of his career at the state armory in this city. was too shifty for Martin and although the Terrville boy put up . good battle, Roland had the margin.
 A large crowd of fans gathered in the hall to witness the card. Tho Mohawk club officials have decided to hold the next tournament in the Main street auditorium two weeks from last night. Thursday. May 1s.

The contest will be started promptly at o'clock before what Is expected to be one of the largest early season crowds to witness diamond battle in this city or it's environments.
 Both teams have had nice work outs during the weekend and re- ports state that no alibis will be forthcoming by the feated squad be- cause of condition. The Falcons held a practice session last night and Coach Frank Wojack feels that the squad Is nearly perfect as far as bat ting order and offensive strength is concerned
 Manager Dan Malarney of the Kensington team has about settled on the starting lineup for tomorrow although place in the outfield is still undecided and will probably not be filled until just prior to the game. Both teams are ready for a hard struggle. The Falcons will probably use Ginger Cleary on the firing line while Kenslngton will rely fully on Farmer" Bucholz who. last year, proved to be the nemesis of the Fall con batters. Both pitchers have had several workouts this year and real twirling battle, rivalling any of the series games last year. is in prospect Work on the diamond in Kensing- ton has resulted in almost a perfect playing surface for the game. Mem- bers of the kensington club have spent many hours on the grounds rolling down tl-e hard surface of the infeld and patching up here and
 there ill the outfeld. All that re- , mains to make the game real suc- cess is a fair day and warm weather.
 The teams on paper line up pretty | evenly and a pretty game is in pros poet. Officials will be selected 10 i handle the game and both teams hope to set off on the right foot with
 q victory.

He socked a single to center, went to second on another hit and when Clabby. the St. Thomas left fielder. poked a single over short. the pitcher scored the winning run.

New Britain herald., 1927-05-06

Scores of pitching records are credited to Walter Johnson, but it is doubtful if any of his many mar velous exhibitions quite compare with his strikeout feats.
 For 20 years. Johnson has been strutting his stuff as big league pitcher. That in itself is most un- usual. The career of the average pitcher in the majors is about six years.
 In each and every one of those campaigns. two excepted. the year he made his debut, 1907 and the season of 1920. Johnson has struck out 100 or more men. His greatest year was 1910 when he whiffed 313 men.
 Only two pitchers. Amos Rusie and Rube Waddell have done better at the present pitching distance. the former getting 345 in 1890 as a member of the New York Giants the latter 343 with the Philadelphia

, Athletics in 1904. In his debut year. made late in the season of 1907, Johnson famed 64 batters in 112 innings, which is an average of about seven men per regulation game.
 Injuries and illness kept him from taking part in more than IA in- nings in 1920. 16 full games. yet he managed to whiff IS. an average of five per game.
 In IS of his 20 years as big league pitcher, Johnson has ii times struck out between 100 and 200 batsmen: five times he has set down between 200 and 300 rival hitters on strikes; in two seasons he has gotten 313 and 303 to be exact.
 Over a period of 20 years, in which he actually pitched 5s16 in nings, Johnson has struck out 3,4fo of the opposition, an average of 17o per season.
 Some pitching! Believe me!

LEGION CHALLENGED

WEST CHE TER, Pa.-If the
American Legion here accepts the
challenge, the American Civil Liber-
ties Union will sent one of its lawyers
to aid the Liberal Club Of the West
Chester State Normal School in de-
bate on whether students may criti-
CHE the President of the United States
and his foreign policies. Forrest Bail
ey, a director Of the Union, intimated
that he may ask Arthur Garfield Hays,
New York attorney, to act as team
mate to Ray H. Abrams, minister of
the Olivet Church of West Chester and
member of the Liberal Club. =
The debate challenge resulted from
an attack by Legionnaires on the Lib
eral Club for placing President Cool
idge's Nicaraguan policy under fire.
The Liberal Club raised the cry Of
free speech. The Legion replied with
charges of creating disrespect to the
President and the Government" Maj
or John A. Farrell argued that there
was no justification for students in
unsupported institution to criticize
the government that was giving them
an education. Protests were made to
the governor and Legion committee
appointed to investigator the Liberal
Club.
