BROOKLYN TEAM PROVES
 JINX FOR THE GIANT SQUAD
Pirates and Cardinals Fighting It Out For Leadership in National Pittsburgh Takes Game From St. Louis-White Sox Lose to Tigers-Crippled Sena- tors Beaten By Yankees Beat Cincinnati- Athletics Score Victory Over Red Sox.

By tho Associated Press.
 Pirates and Cardinals today were lighting it out for the leadership Of the National league as the Giants continued to lose ground before a persistent Brooklyn jinx.
 The Pirate-Cardinal series at p1ttsburgh took on new aspects of importance when the Buccaneers crowded into . deadlock with the. leasus leaders by trouncing them by II to 10 in . game marked by ter fiic hitting. They were seven runs behind at one stage. but the big guns opened with roar in the fifth Tor a total of Il runs from then on. 1t was a large sized ball game in many ways.
 The hits totalled 33, of which Pittsburgh had 17. and the home team used 20 players, four Of whom were pitchers.
 A battle even more hard fought Is foreseen today as the lead in the league will go to the winner
 Another hard fall for the Giants Tt tho hands of the Robins left them third on the list and still facing the Brooklyn Indian sign. It was working overtime yesterday when Uncle Hobbies erstwhile cellar ldwellers overcame a five run lead and won out. to 6. for their fifth straight victory and their third consecutive conquest of the Giants.
 The other club that has been bearing a charmed life met eventual disaster when the White Sox fell before the Tigers by 5 to after winning seven games in row and charging to third place in the American league.

GAME ENDS WITH
 TWO TEAMS TIED.
High School and La SaQdte
 Seminary in Deadlock
The New Britain high school base

The New Britain high school base ball team. playing In wonderful form after It's bad start against Naugatuck high last Saturday, yesterday held the hard hitting LaSallette semin- ary team of Hartford to three to three tie. Al Havlick occupied the mound for the locals and proved to be a sensation while his mates gave him good support. His work was a revelation. He allowed the Hart ford batters only three solid hits and at all times he was the master. The outfleld had only three putouts while he, himself had eight assists. His display of pitching ability raises the stock of the high school team con- siderably.
 Tommy Weston played a good fielding game at second. his sensa- tional stops cutting off two rallies. Hinchey made two stops. one in the eighth and one in the ninth that saved the game as two men were on each time.
 Bromberg's hitting featured the offensive of the locals. He crashed out long double and single and walked twice. His double was sure home run and would have won the contest only it struck the top most branches of tree and fell to the ground. The clever work of Zaleski in the eighth inning brought in the tying run. He ran the bases in neat style and with two outs, he started for home causing the pitcher to hurry his peg and the catcher threw wildly to third to catch Zale- ski going back.
 New Britain took the lead in the third. Hinchey flied out and Weston walked. Zaleski hit a fielder's choice, Weston going to second. Matulis was safe on an error. The two worked a perfect double steal. Joe Char low hit sharply to right field, SCOT ing both runners.
 LaSallette scored in the third on a hit, stolen base and sacrifice. The score was tied in the fourth on a hit and two sacrifices. Two er- TOTS and a hit gave the seminar ians the lead in the seventh and a walk to Zaleski and his clever base running tied the score. In the ninth, both teams had two men on with one out but were unable to score.

WASHINGTON MEETS
 FALCONS SATURDAY
Play First Game of Series at
 Kensington Grounds

The baseball attraction for dia- mond fans in this city and vicinity will be staged Saturday at , o'clock at the All-Kensington baseball field when the Falcons and the Aiken sington clubs engage in the first game of a series. This will be open ing day for the home club while the New Britain aggregation will be playing the third game of the year.
 The teams played last fall and ended a series in a deadlock, fall weather preventing the staging of the final encounter. The series ar- ranged between the two managers for this season should decide the supremacy of the clubs.
 Both teams will put forth their strongest lineups and real battle is anticipated. Kensington has choice assortment of candidates to choose from while the Falcons, after last Sundays game. are all set with the squad which will face the south end team.
 No announcements have been re- ceived from either manager as to a probable lineup for Saturday. Ken sington has Sullick behind the bat with either Jack Scott or Charley Yale in the box. Begley or Warren will be on first with Patrus at sec end. Jasper or DeVito wSli be seen at shortstop with Buggy" Fitzpat- rick on third. Blesso. Salad. Snyder. Greco. Wendrosky and Zeigler will be used in the outfield.
 The Falcons will have Kopec catching. with "Ginger" Cleary or Bruno Kania doing the delivering. Klatka will be on first with Willie Wojack at second. "Chucky" Wo- jack will be at short with Stanley Budnick at third. si Budnick. Kre- dar and Jarvis will probably be placed in the outfield.
 One of the biggest crowds of the year is expected to turn out in Ken sington for the game. The contest will start promptly at o'clock and arrangements have been made to furnish. if possible. transportation for the fans from Upson's corner to the baseball field.

ARGUMENT OVER GAME

The Owls and the Washington school ended q game in an argu- ment yesterday when with the score tied in the seventh inning. one man out and runner on third. an Owl hit fly ball to the left fielder which was caught the runner scoring from third. If the runner held the bag until the fly was caught and then scored. the run counts for the Owls ana the action of the Washington School team in walking off the field gives the game 10 the Owls. If the man left third before the fly was caught. he should have been out on q double play.

BUD TAYLOR WINS
 OVER GOLDS7EIN
Decision Is Unpopular With Fans
 Who See Chicago Bout

Chuck Taylor. May 4 tR - Bud Taylor's >"1s karat" crown. symbolic of his recognition by IS states as bantam champion of the world, sat askew on his blond locks today be- cause of some sharpshooting by Abe Attel Goldstein during their 10 rounds of fighting last night. Tay- Tor won the decision of the judges. but the popular verdict went to Goldstein.
 On the same fight card Tony Can- zoneri. the brunette battler of New York, demonstrated high qualiflca- tions for his coming championship meeting with Taylor by taking Ray Rychell, Chicago 122 pounder, on n technical knockout in the seventh round.
 A large section of the crowd of 5000 as we'll as some newspapermen. believed the worst Goldstein should have had was a draw. The general sentiment was that Goldstein, a for mer worlds champion, won five rounds. Taylor three and that two were even.
 Goldstein's constant left kept polk ing in Taylor's face. while his oc- casional right gave pause to the Terre Haute lads rushes. The New Yorker scored a knockdown in the first few seconds of fighting when he caught Taylor off balance with a right to the shoulder. Taylor went down on all fours, but bounded up unhurt without count.
 Canzoneri was too slick for Ry- chell and had the Chicagoan bleed- ing early in the fight. Rychell was willing, but took a good beating be- fore his seconds tossed the towel into the ring when Canzoneri had his man punch drunk on the ropes at the start of the seventh.
 Henry Futile of Minneapolis. who fights under the regal ring title of King Tut, was being shaded by Jack Duffy, a junior lightweight from To- ledo, but got in q series of head punches in the seventh round that felled the Ohioan and, led Duffy's seconds to throw in the towel.

(B1 JIMMY POWERS)
 New York, May IA balky little cartilage fin the left knee of Big Bill Tilden holds the future of American tennis this year.
 On the recovery of this ailing member depends the ownership of the Davis Cup and the national singles championship. If Tilden's knee goes blooie late this summer. as it did last year. it is quite likely the French Tri-color will decorate the famed Davis silverware. the first time the international trophy has ever been outside an Anglo Saxon nation.
 Tilden and Johnston recovered the Davis Cup from Australia in 1920 and it has remained here ever since. mainly through the valiant efforts of the two Bills.
 Johnston. however. despite his fighting heart has been worn by racking competition and Vincent Richards was just about ripe to fill his shoes. This summer, sadly enough. finds Richards outside the pale and without him the cup sc- lection committee faces Q serious problem.
 There are close to 100000 people playing tennis in this country. New stars are developing butt no shark has flashed across the horizon of sufficient brilliance to warrant se- lection on the defending team.
 Hence. the responsibility on Til den is greater than ever before. It is a situation that appeals to the lanky Philadelphian. The former champion would glory in acting on the stage just such dramatic scene that now looms before him. Imagine Q situation with the coun- try's tennis fate at stake and with Tilden as the hero, plucking vic- tory out of almost certain defeat!
 Tildcn's love of the melodramatic is we'll known. I have seen him time and again make unqucstion- ably easy matches appear difficult, just to score one of his brilliant re- coveries and stave off defeat while hundreds of handclaps saluted his thrilling efforts.
 But despite all this. Bill has a highly developed degree of sports manship. He is ono of the most misunderstood performers in Ameri- can sports history. He has weather cd all professional offers. Some day he may turn professional-but not before he has given his best efforts in defense of the international trophy.
 This country's tennis future Is in danger. Tilden does not intend to desert a sinking ship.
 All that he asks, he says, is that his hum l,poo boljc pp

 In the final eight round bout on the card.

Borde appeared on the last card and made good im- pression on the fans.
 The semi-f1nal will ind Frankie Angelo of Hartford meeting Buddy Jenkins of Boston. There two welt CTS are evenly matched with the Hartford boy being given the edge because of his recent victories. Jen- kins has been going at 8 furious pace in Boston and Holyoke, Mass. and he confidently expects to tumble An- gelo over before the fight is finished.
 The third eight round bout on the card will bring together two hard scrappers with whom New Britain fans are familiar. Wee Willie Woods of Boston and Charlie Ray of Phila- delphia will be tho principals an- gagged. Woods has appeared in Hartford. New Haven and Meriden.
 Ray showed In his last battle here that he will be difficult one. to meet.
