RACES NV AMERICAN AND
 NATIONAL TIGHTENING UP
Cardinals Beat Pittsburgh Pirates Through Batting Force-Giants Down Robins in 10 Innings-Sena- tors Set Down Yankees-Rain Stops Victory of Mackmen in Third = Chicago Teams Both Win - Browns Come Through Against Indians.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 A three cornered battle for the lead In one league and a duel for the top in another provided the fans with plenty of drama in their base ball today.
 Most interest centered at Pitts burgh where the Pirates and Card inals--world champions respectively in 1925 and 1926-were battling furiously in a white-hot series. The Cards held the league lead momen- tarily while the Giants complicated matters by crowding into second place with the Pirates third.
 At the same time the race in the American league grew closer as the Yankees lost and the Athletics came within striking distance of the hard slugging leaders.
 It was sheer force of batting power that carried the Cards to the top of the league by an 8 to 3 vic- tory over the Pirates yesterday. all though three Pittsburgh errors help ed. With two triples for two runs, Frankie Frisch led the batting at tack while Lester Bell banged out the only homer of the game. The fielding of the erstwhile "Fordham Flash" was perfect with nine chances handled without an error
 Again the pitching of Jesse Haines had the rival batsmen paralyzed and he chalked up his fifth win of the season. Paul Waner was the only Pirate to connect consistently, mak- ing three of his teams eight hits.
 Throwing off the Brooklyn Indian sign with mighty effort in the ninth and extra tenth, the Giants took the upgrade again after drop ping three straight games to the Robins. Big Jumbo Elliot took the showers in the ninth under a storm of hits that brought in three Giant runs and tied the count 3-3. lindstrom came home with the win- ming run on Bentley's single in the extra frame.
 The first was the winning inning for the Senators in their game with the Yankees. In that single session they pounded out seven runs and chased Ruether and Shawkey to the clubhouse. After that they didn't score. but they didn't need to as the Tanks could make but four runs despite Lou Gehrig's sixth homer which sent him into tie with Ruth, his team mate. for circuit slugging honors.
 A fine chance for the Athletics to tie the Tanks in the percentages was lost when rain interrupted their game with the Red Sox in the third with the Mackmen leading to l.
 Both Chicago teams found their opponents easy, the Cubs routing the Reds by 13 to 3 with an eight run rally in the third. and the White Sox resuming their interrupted string of victories by walloping the Tigers, 1 to 5. The demon relief pitcher. Connally, came to the rescue again to spike Detroit rally which threatened the starting hurler, Ted Blankenship, in the seventh, when Fothergill made three hits in his teams losing fight. It was the six teenth successive game in which he had batted safely
 Another old favorite came to the fore in the Browns 13 to rout of the Indians, as Sisler stole home in the fifth in a rally which gave his team six of it's runs

LEY BILLY ENANSl

1 Has the value of a good lead off man lost much of it's kick in these days of slam-bang baseball? When I broke into the American | league 22 years ago a good lead-o off man was of prime importance In those days, playing for one run was a common practice, since the pitchers held a decided edge, therefore the value of good lead off man was far more apparent than at present.
 In the old days lead-off men, as rule, were not hard hltters. Their position of honor came more as the result of being hard to pitch to, fleetness of foot and the ability to lay down bunts and then beat 'em out.
 Despite the fact that am-bang l baseball has lessened the worth of i the lead-of man, I am still of the opinion that such a player is of vital importance.
 To my way of thinking, there Is ] no better ad-off man in the majors than Earl Combs. brilliant center fielder of the New York Yankees. | It is an interesting and peculiar fact that Combs. whom I rate the best lead-oif man in the American, if not the majors, is a member of the hardest hitting club in baseball.
 In the old days, lead-off men as i r,1, of tot ln dope is that small men are much harder to pitch to, and it is quite correct. therefore little man, if fast usually got the leadolf spot. re- gardless of his batting ability.
 In this respect, Earl Combs Is a radical departure from the thought of the old school managers. Combs I is six feet tall However. he has Q peculiar crouch style at the bat that probably lowers his sights about six 1 inches, making him a hard man to pitch to.
 Aside from being hard to pitch to. Combs has a keen eye, seldom offers at bad ball, hence gets many passes to first base. Fleet of foot, the rival inficld must hurry every ball to get him at first. He is adept at bunting and skilled in dragging the ball past the pitcher
 In other words, Combs has all the stuff needed for lead off man. In addition. he is 300 hitter. which adds much to the troubles of the l opposing pitcher when Earl steps to | the plate.
 The fact that Combs gets on often is very important factor in the ! success of the New York club, since such sluggers as Ruth, Gehrig. Meu- sel and Lazzeri follow in the lineup. With him on, the Tanks profit we'll when some slugger comes through 1 with an extra base wallop. While you don't hear so much about Earl Combs, since he is a colorful club noted for its slueeing, which isn't a part of his repertoire, he is one of the Yanks' most valu- able assets.

KENSzNC7ON AND FALCON
 TEAMS READY FOR CAME
Bucholz Secured to Face New Britain Team Saturday First Game for Paper Goods Combinations ager Malarney Has Difficulty in Selecting Outeld- Hardware City Outfit Has Played and Won Two Battles-Contest to Start at p. m.

The Kensington and Falcon base- ball teams, principals in the first game of three game series for the season to be played on Saturday, are both ready to do battle. accord. ing to the dope from both camps. Both outfits are eager for the start of the game and stiff battle is pre- dicted.
 The Kensington team Is opening up the season Saturday while the Falcon club has already played and won two games. Manager Dan Ma larney of the South end club has secured Farmer" Bucholz for mound duty. He proved to be "poi- son" to the Falcons in the city series last year and reports state that he is in excellent shape for this week. He has been playing with the Hudsons of New Haven the past few games and has already approached good form.
 The South end aggregation has had its final practice and all the efforts of the players and members of the club have been directed to- wards getting the field in playing shape. The diamond is being raked and rolled and by the time the game starts on Saturday afternoon, there will be no cause to complain about the condition of the diamond,
 The Falcons held a practice ses- sion Ia ct niphf ho {oo lo out again tomorrow night at St. Mary's field at o'clock. The squad was put through a spirited practice session by Coach Frank Wojack and the work of the men gives indica- ton that Kensington is due for a lacing.
 Manager Malarney of the Ken- sington team hasn't decided yet on his lineup but he will select the starting men either today or tomor- row. He is experiencing his great est difficulty in choosing outfielders because so numerous were the can- didates seeking places in the gar- dens and so equal their ability. the superiority of one over the other is hard to distinguish.
 Saturdays game will start promptly at 3 o'clock and it is ex- pected that record crowd will turn out to see the first clash of the season between these two arch- enemies. Kensington had the edge on the Falcons at the end of the last season and the players on the team confidently expect to start re- beating during the series to be played this year.
 The Falcons will play the Her rups of Hartford at St. Mary's field next Sunday afternoon while the Kensington team will battle tho West Sides of Willimantic.

PLAY SEMINARY TEAM

New Britain High School Baseball
 Nine Scheduled to Meet Hartford
 Crew Today.
 An attempt will be made by the New Britain high school baseball team to break into the winning column this afternoon in Hartford when it is scheduled to play the nine from St. Thomas Seminary, if the weather permits. Coach Cassidy regards this game as one of the most important on the schedule and for that reason he saved Stanley Par tyka, the pitcher who showed up so well in the Naugatuck game. for this contest. He will have Al Hav- lick. Joe Massey and John" Mercy in reserve.
 The track team goes on the road again Saturday when it stacks up against South Manchester high school Coach Lionel Depot has been working hard on his tieldmen with view to developing this part of the team to hold it's own in the meet Considerable improvement has been shown in the marks set by the short and long distance men and the Nav Britain athletes should score heavily in these events. It is expected that the team will be strengthened somewhat by the ad- dition of baseball players who are not playing at their adopted game on that day.
