He allowed but one hit up to the eighth inning when he weakened and was touched for three successive hits. Berg. another main- stay of the Red SoX. occupied the mound for the visitors and he pitched a sweet game.

The All-Kensington baseball team was defeated in the first two starts of the season Saturday and Sunday being blanked by the Falcons : to 0 on the homo grounds Saturday and losing s to in Willimantic yester- day.
 Lack of play under fire would seem to be the reason for the defeat at the hands of the Falcon team on Saturday. The Kensington team was sadly lacking in ability to hit the slants of Russ Fisher who was pitch ing for the Falcons. Ginger Cleary was i'll with the grip and couldn't work Saturday or yestcr- day.
 Bucholz and Fisher engaged in a pitching duel with tile Falcon slab- man having the edge. Fisher allow cd only five hits and struck out eight men while Buck was touched up for eight hits and struck out only three. Two glaring errors by DeVito on comparatively easy balls in the first inning gave the Falcons an edge which they held throughout the game.
 Kensington threatened to score in the sixth and ninth but couldn't de- liver the necessary hit to bring the runners in.
 Willie Wojack started in the first by walking. "Chucky" dribbled one to A1ortstcp that looked good for q double play but DeVito missed the ball completely and both runners were safe, one at third and the other at second. Sheehan hit to Bucholz and was out at first. Stan ley Budnick hit an easy bounder to DeVito at short but the ball went cleanly through his legs and two men scored.
 Singles by Frank Wojacl1 and Frankie Sheehan and sacrifice fly to right field brought in another in the third. Two more counted in the sixth when Stanley and Si Budnick singled in row and Klatka sent 8 long double down the left field line.
 Kcnsington made feeble attempts to get men around the bases but Fishers slants fooled the batters all through the game. Snyder hit long double the first time up but died on second. He got 10 third after a neat bunt in the sixth but died there when Mccormick whiffed for the third out. Jasper got to third in the ninth when he was hit and Warren doubled but both men died when Salad famed the breeze.
 The other games in the series be- tween the two should be hard battles as both teams showed much promise Saturday though rough in spots. Star head" Budnick of the Falcons was easily the fielding sensation of both teams. He was everywhere on the diamond and had eight cha.sces without an error. DeVito turned in a fielding gem when he raced into left field for "Chucky" Wojack's fly. Ziegler who replaced Mccormack in left field in the seventh. turned in three circus catches in left field. go- ing into the brook fer the three of them. The catches were duplicates of the ones he made In the series last year..
 For the first game of the year, the teams staged pretty battle and it goes without saying that the next time they meet, on some date next month. both will be op their toes for . hard battle. The summary:

TANKS AND CARDS HAVE
 ALSO HITTING POWER
Rhem Holds Robins to Two Hits and St. Louis Wins Hugmen Blank White Sox For Second Time In Two Days-Giants Nose Out Cubs-Detroit Downs Red Sox-Indians Make It Two Straight From Athletics Browns Topple Senator's
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
 Smashing victories by the Cardi- nals and Yankees left no doubt in the minds of fans today that the leaders of the major leagues have pitching power as well as sluggins force.
 One of the finest hurling exhibi- tions seen this year in either league was turned in by a Redbird, Flint Charles Rhem. as he held the Robins to just two hits for to 1 Cardinal win at Brooklyn. Three Of his teams runs were scored on two homers by his hard walloping mate. Chick Hafey.
 While the Cards were showing the east what kind of baseball it was that won them a world crown in 1926, the Tanks were hammering home a lesson of their own in how to win a pennant.
 For the second time in two days the Hugmen blanked the White SoS at Chicago. the burden of their vic tory being borne on the broad shoulders of the competent Waite Hoyt. Backed by errorless fielding and the vicious hitting of his mates. the veteran held the White SoX to nine scattered hits for to 0 win. No Yankee game is complete with out its homer so Catcher Pat Collins stepped up in the seventh and bounced one into the left field bleachers.
 In others of the White Sox games this year the day has been saved when all seemed lost by the timely insertion of Connally, star relief man, in the pitchers box But even that failed this time and 1t was Con- nally's fast one that Collins knocked for the loop.
 To make 1t two for New York over Chicago the Gants at the same time were nosing out closing to 4 decision in their game at the Polo Grounds with the Cubs. Until Terry doubled in the ninth and drove Roush home the game was any body'A Detroit's 3 to ? decision over the Red Sox also was won Tn the ninth when Marty McManus singled with the bases filled.
 The west was victorious over east ern foes in both the other games played. The Cleveland Indians who are next to last in the American league standings reached up to make 1t two straight over the Phil adelphia Athletics who are second in the race. A tumble by the veter- an Eddie Collins helped the home team to Its victory. 4 to 2. The St, Louis Browns. sixth in the ranking, toppled the fourth place Senators. 8 to ,. to square their series at one all.
 Two hne individual records came to an end as Fothergill of the Tigers. for the first time in IS games. failed to make a hit. and Frank Frisch of the Cards made his first error in 13 games by throwing wild to first.
 The international flavor of the battles now being waged brought out huge crowds everywhere. the Yankee-White Sox team at Chicago drawing 52.O00 and setting a ne" record for Comiskey park.
