SEASON RECORDS CREATED
 IN MAJOR LEAGUE GAMES
Boston Mats Lose to Cubs In P Inning Fray, to g.
 Yankees Win From Detroit Tigers-Phllies Down Cardinals But Pirates Lose to Brooklyn Robins Senators Massacre Cleveland Indians - Browns Trounce Mackmen-Red Sox Trim White Sox.
By the Associatkd Frees.

By the Associatkd Press. New season records for the long est and closest game, greatest num- Der of homers hit and most victories pitched marked the big league race today as the pace grew faster and faster.
 Boston and Chicago of the Ma. tional league played 22 innings be- fore the Cubs finally won. { to 3. at Boston, while Babe Ruth slammed out his ninth homer in game against Detroit and Herb Pennock pitched his fifth victory in the same contest, which the Yankees won. g to ?.
 It took four hours and 13 minutes to play that overgrown ball game at tied IS innings Saturday and did not play Sunday or Monday. making a total of 40 innings in two con- secutive games.
 The record for long games is held by the same Boston outfit, jointly with Brooklyn, as the two played c6 innings in the Bean city seven years ago
 Bob Osborn was the hero of this 22 inning struggle as he took the box for Chicago in the ninth and held the Braves to six hits. For 14 innings-from the seventh to the twenty-second-the rivals battled without score by either team. Grimm's single with a man on base finally ended it. Despite the strain of such a game the Cubs made only one error and the Warriors two. Not hit went for more than two bases.
 In beating Detroit. Pennock had the edge on Rip Collins and thereby brought his total of wins for the year to five. His nearest rivals are this same Collins and Meadows of the Pirates, each with four.
 In the downfall of the Cardinals, 1 to 3. at the hands of the Phillies. and the defeat of the Pirates. to l, by the Robins, the National league had couple of sensational upsets. The loss knocked the Buccaneers from third place to fifth, as the Phillies went to third behind the Cards and the Cubs slid into fourth. The Giants clung to the lead by handing the Reds their sixth straight defeat, to o.
 After 12-0 massacre at the hands of the Senators. Cleveland sank from fifth to seventh place. The St. Louis Browns went up, along with the Senators, by handing the Athletics an unexpected facing, II to 4. Beating the White Sox with punched hits, 6 to 3, the Red Sox renewed their effort to get off the floor of the league.
 Every team meets a new foe to- day as the athletes start travelling again.

STANLEY WORKS HAMMER
 OUT WIN OVER LANDERS
Scott Bess Chant In Scintillating Pitchers Battle Universal Rally In Ninth Falls Short of Tie Johnny Parsons Stars for Winners at Bat-Fafnirs Swamp Union Works In Slow Game-Stanley Rule Runs Away From Russell & Erwin.

The Stanley Works baseball club took . pitchers battle from the Landers team in the Industrial league yesterday afternoon at Wal nut Hill park when the Workers nosed out a 5 to win. Bill Chant was on the mound for the Univer- sals while Jack Scott heaved them over for the Workers. Both pitchers were nicked for five hits apiece.
 The Workers punched their hits in the first frame and took a three run lead. The Universals kept close behind them and In the ninth threatened to overtake them when they chased across two runs. Their rally was cut short however by sev- eral snappy plays by the Workers lnf1eld.
 Bunched hits in the first. eighth and ninth gave the Workers their runs while the Landers team found the offerings of Scott in the first and Ninth. John Parsons was the leading kicker for the Workers and it was Aainly his blows which gave the nm the victory.
 Bill Chant got off to bad start ! the initial frame when Jimmy G.een reached first when the Land- CTS catcher dropped the last strike. He slipped two strikes across on Guida but on the next pitch Guida sent long single to center Green going to third. Parsons immediately tripled to right sending two runners across the plate. Scroeder grounded to Vincent and was thrown out at first while Parsons scored from third. Stanley Works led with three runs.
 But the Universals were not to be outdone for Scotts offerings were to their liking in the first in- ming and they landed on several which brought them up 10 close quarters. Eddie Goeb worked Scott for a free ticket and scored when Nester slammed out a hard double to center. Vincent hit through sec ond and Nester tallied.
 From then on to the eighth both Chant and Scott kept hits from landing in safe territory. In the Stanley Works half of the eighth Scott doubled as a starter and went to third when Green flied out to Nester. Budnick batted for Guida and was hit by pitched ball Par sons sent high fly to right and Nester dropped the bail allowing Scott to cross the plate. Again in the ninth Liberti doubled and went to third while Doyle was being thrown out at first. Greens long sacrifice fly to Nester sent in the winning run.
 Landers made bid for the game in the last frame but fell one run short. Charlow and Bucheri reached first on two errors. A long double to center off the bat of Maitz, bat ting for Ostertag. sent both runners across the plate. After that the Stanley Works infield frightened and retired the side without further damage. The summary:-
New Britain herald., 1927-05-18

The Union Works team showed ness at bat. Hits were sent out into the outheld that should have been easy putouts but instead they went for safeties and many times result in scores. Towards the last of the game. the Union Works outfield started to play baseball and Alder man in center field and Stitt in right field pulled two of the most sensa- tional catches seen at Walnut Hill park in the last few years. Alder man grabbed sure two bagger off Johnny Klatka's bat after high leap while Stitt jumped into the air to stop a drive and after the ball had bounced up in the air from his glove. he caught it again for a neat putout.
 Nelson, at third for the losers, was the mainstay of the team. He had eight chances without an error having one misplay on a wide throw to second while he got one of his
 
 nice game and Williams, with any kind of support. would have turned in neat pitching performance.
 keener started in the box for Fafnirs but lasted only two innings. He started the third by walking the first three men to face him and Ferguson relieved him to hold the Workers in subjection for the rest of the game.
 The Fafnir team hit them hard and heavy getting 15 bingles for their batting averages during the game. Union scored it's only run in the third frame when Alderman who had walked and had been pushed around to third by two more passes. came in on a wild pitch. Faf- nirs scored one in the third, four in the fourth. five in the fifth, two in the seventh and one in the ninth.
 The game was dull and uninter- esting, the excitement being center ed entirely around the Stanley Works-Landers battle. The sum- mary:

DEMPSEY'S DELAY
 AR0USES DOUBTS
Lack of Confidence Is Suggested
 in Many Circles
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 New York, May IS R-The mys- tery in Jack Dempsey's comeback | if he does come back-hasn't alto gether been solved by the postpone ment of his first big test until August.
 Why" the critics are asking, isn't three or four months of con- dtioning sufficient to put Dempsey in shape to fight around July l, as originally planned? If there any lack of the old confidence in his re- fusal to meet the rugged Spaniard, Pauline. at that time or is the way to a return title bout with Gene Tun- ney being made easier for Dempsey by his agreement to fight the Shar- key Maloney winner in August" The switch from Pauline to Shar- key or Maloney as Dempsey's first and only-major preliminary op- ponent is considered good "bally- hoo" for tomorrow's Yankee stadium battle but it is mystifying to those who have watched the build up" of the colorful Spaniard as a title con- tender.
 Either Sharkey or Maloney, most critics agree. figures as more for midable rival for Dempsey than the comparatively inexperienced but more rugged Pauline, but the Span- iard's "color" and his drawing pow CTS have figured largely in Rickard' S plans. There is yet the possibility that Pauline and Jack Delaney may be matched. the winner to meet Sharkey or Maloney to determine Dempsey's opponent but this seems only a possibility now in view of Richards altered plans. plus the diff faculties in which Pauline and De- fancy have become involved with the New York athletic commission.
 Yalc's football rivals are willing to go half way with the Ellis in abolish- ing organized scouting" next fall, but apparently not all of them are convinced that it will work.
 Harvard, for instance, feels that it would be difficult to 'muzzle" the old grads altogether and suggests that the coaches go step further and exchange formations in order that no suspicion may exist.
 Many observers agree that it will take a good deal of digging to up- root scouting and not q few ques- tons whether it will remove any of the so-called lover emphasis" in the gridirc2 sport.
 Among western conference col leges, for example, there is fra ternal spirit to scouting The glad hand is out for the scouts from rival institutions and special ac- commodations are provided for their aid and convenience.
 This may be the year for Lee Barnes. Southern California pole vaulter, to turn the tables on his Yale rival. Sabin Carr. in the inter- collegiate championships at Phila- delphia May 27-oS.
 Last spring. Barnes. holder of the Olympic title and the favorite. was beaten at Cambridge by Carr, who went on to soar over record heights during the past indoor season. So far this spring. however, the Yale star has failed to reach anything like this indoor form while Barnes has done as well as 13 feet, 6 inches on the coast. Steve Bradley of Princeton has been out-vaulting Carr consistently in the last few weeks and may be Barnes chief rival.

The Church street team started off like 1t did last season when it made the Bearing Makers travel 10 innings to win the game. but after Fafnirs had broken the ice in the second inning to score one run. it became a case of how long the game would last and what the ulti- mate size of Fafnir's lead would be.

Many Kinds of Bark
in Use as Medicine

The United States Pharmacopoeia
lists II kinds of bark used in med1-
cine. There are, however, no less
than 35 kinds of bark altogether
grown In America which are more
or less widely used for preparing
simple, homemade remedies, al
though only II are classed as "offi-
cinalS."
Some are valued, for example, as
febrifuses, chief of which, OF
course, is the Peruvian bark or
cinchOna, to which the world owes
the priceless boon of quinine.
A second class includes those
which exert cathartic or laxative
effect, and of these the most highly
priced is the bark Of the graceful
little buckthorn tree found in Cali
fornia, and known by its Spanish
name of cascara sagrada (sacred
bark).
A third class includes those
which stimulate the flow OF one or
another of the secretions OF the
body, such as the saliva, gastric
juice, perspiratfon, mucus, etc.
Others are soothing in nature,
such as an infusion of slippery elm,
and many may be used for prepar-
ing soothing drafts In cases of sore
throats, etc. Still others are said
somewhat vaguely to possess
"tonic" properties.

Veteran Opera Goers
Startled by Tanldgn0

Caruso, in his prime, possessed
the most powerful voice most peo-
pie ever heard, but there lived De-
fore him the great tenor Tamagno'
whose voice possessed even greater
volume. On his first appearance In
Moscow he was announced to sing
"Othello." When he appeared on
the stage his tremendous helght
and breadth astonished the audi
ence, but it did not prepare them
for the thunder of his first note. Its
strength so astounded them that,
it is said, they surged backward as
though they were warding OH an
assault. The second note was more
powerful still, and by the time he
had sung his fourth note his voice
had such colossal volume that the
people lost their self-control. Leap
ing from their seats, they rushed
about commenting to each other on
the most extraordinary voice they
had ever heard in their lives, while
the orchestra stopped playing and
the stage became a scene of confu-
sion. A few moments later, the
realization had come to them that
not only had Tamagno glorious
voice, but that he knew how to use
1T as an artist, and then their APP
plause shook the theater.- Mon

Mrs. Curtis were the "runts" of
the lot, one of them could not be
induced to take nourishment and

peared about ready to follow the
example of his weaker brother,

Getting bright idea Mrs. Curtis
placed the little setter pup in the
nest of the mother cat in the hope
that it would be given food and

her exotic step-child the same pa

protegee. The one time "runt" pup
has now attained an age of two
weeks, grown sleek, fat and hear

dog as valuable as his late lament
