 The Yankees set out today to tie the American League record for games won during a baseball season. New York's world series representa- tives were expected to win their I05th victory yesterday against De- troit and equal the 1912 mark of the Boston Red Sox. but instead they showed how badly a championship club can play on an off day.
 Sam Gibson held the Hugmen to seven hits and had a shutout in the palm Of his hand until one man was out in the last of the ninth. Then Babe Ruth knocked the ball into the right-center- field bleachers. The Tigers won the contest, 6-1. The Yank. had the bases filled in the seventh when Tony Lazzeri grounded weakly 10 Gibson. Ten errors were written into the box score and the Yanks contributed six Of them.

 Horace Lisenbee held the St. Louis Browns to five hits yesterday and shut them out. 10-0. The Senators batted out fl hits, Ganzel, a recruit hitting safely in four trips to the bat.
 last of the ninth gave the Boston Red Sox a 3-2 win over Chicago. Tony Welzer let the White SoX down with siN hits and was aided by fast field ing. Two double plays by the Boston infield pulled him out of tight places.
 After Cleveland had taken the opening game of the series from Philadelphia, 6-5. Tyrus Cobb left the Mackmen for hunting trip into Wyoming The Georgian said Man. ager Mack had offered to renew his contract for next year, but that he had not decided whether he would play another year of baseball.
 Pittsburgh defeated Brooklyn in the only game played in the National League.
 The Pirates found Doug McWeeney in the fourth inning for all their runs in q Az victory.
 The victory sent Pittsburgh into the important four-game series with the Giants with a lead of three and one-half games. New York's feeble pennant chances for the National League flag rest almost wholly upon the ability of the Giants to sweep the series. The Giants are in a try ing position. If the Cardinals sweep the Boston series and New fork breaks even with Pittsburgh, the Giants will find themselves in third place.

CQACH DUNN PICKS
 PLAYERS 0N TEAM
All-NeV Britain Squad Has Been
 Pared Down to 19 Men

Coach Dave Dunn has notified the managemcnt of the All-New Britain football team of the men upon whom he has settled to be members of the All-New Britain football team. The squad which numbered well over 80 candidates has been slfted over and last night it was cut to 19 men. It will remain at that figure until after the first game is played Sunday afternoon and whether there will be any fur ther changes will depend on the showing Of the men against the col ored stars, the All Southern Cole giates.
 The squad as 1t is now is as fol lows: Centers, O'Neil and McCue; guards, Jumbo Gnasdow, Nanfeldt and Tom Humphries; tackles, Don ian, Conklin and Werwaiss; ends Holzheimcr, Connolly and Staton; quarterback, Radzewich: halfbacks Sturm Zakzewski, Zohrer. Tryal and Neverick and fullbacks, Flanagan and Griswold.
 The team will hold it's final prac- tice session tomorrow night at Will low Brook park. The date of tn, practice session has been changed from tonight to tomorrow night be. cause of the inability of several ot the players to be present tonight In the workout, Coach Dave Dunr will probabl select his starting lineup for Sunday.
 Coach Dunn stated last night that the men that he starts in the game Sunday will not necessarily be the men whom he will select to start every game during the season, H. ! has several combinations working out and these will all be used 1T the game against the colored aggre | eation Sunday afternoon.
 l Red" O'Ncil and McCue will botl | be retained for the center positions i There is little difference in the pla. of both mon during the practic' sessions, each having almost tn same style and both being aggres sive and on their toes every min ute. ONeil will probably draw th' starting assignment Sunday after noon although McCue will hav' plenty of opportunity to display hi
 wares to the fans.
 With the seating capacity at tn | field increased to 10000 people an' the bleachers all set in place. fan will be enabled to watch the gam 1 in comfort. Because Of the manifes ! interest being shown Tn the tean this year, it appears that the All 1 New Britain team. if it shapes III
 we'll is due to experience big sea son.
 Sundays game will be a real tes l for the local combination and it vii be a good preliminary for the tw
 contests scheduled for the following
 Saturday and Sunday with tn Frankford Yellow Jackets. The To
 calls meet the team in Philadelnhi
 on Saturday, and the Yellow Jacket
 play here on Sunday.
 The contest Sunday afternoon vii be started at 2:30 o'clock standar time. Officials have not yet beel

CORBIN RED SOX PLAY
 PLAINVILLE CHAMPIONS
New Britain Title Holders to Clash With Neighboring Outfit Sunday-Bues Took First Honors in Playoff While Locals Defeated Falcons Three Straight Both Teams Will Be Evenly Matched - Intense Rivalry Has Cropped Up Among Backers

The Corbin Red Sox baseball team, winner of the semi-pro base ball title in this city will meet the Plainville Blues. champions of Plainville, In Plainville next Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock This con- test between two champion teams will be a battle for honors between New Britain and its next door neighbor. Plainville. for supremacy on the diamond.
 The Plainville team has been playing great baseball during the past season, the number of wins be- Ing far greater than the losses. In the series for the championship Of the town, the team met the All Plalnrille crew, a combination of stars from both Plainville and New Britain and it came out on ton in four games taking three victories.
 The Corbin Red Sox. after eyperi- encing a rather bumpy season. hit Its stride near the end Of the pres ent year and hooked up with the Falcons in a fiye-game series with the team winning the first three be- ing the city champions
 The Falcons were decidedly the favortes before the first game was played but the Corbin Red Sox came through to take three straight games and the title.
 The Plainville management has been anxious to sign up Johnny To- bin clan for a game but definite arrangements could not be made un- til arrangements for the playoff of the remaining games with the All kensington team were completed. Because football starts in this city next Sunday, Manager Dan Malar- ncy of kensington decided to call off the remaining games with the Red SoX and his action left the way open for Manager Tobin to accept the def hurled at him by Manager William Tolli of the Plainville team. Both teams are about equal as far as playing strength is concerned. The Corbin Red Sox have an ace in the hole in Walter Berg, the big right handler of the pitching staff, and after his three victories over the Falcons, he will most probably be sent in against the Plainville team Sunday.
 The Plainville aggregation is greatly strengthened since early in the season and at the present time, 1 packers of the team are confident 1 that the Red Sox will be on the short end of the score when the | game is over.
 | The contest will be started at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. It will be played on the Plainville High school l grounds.
