'TERRYv|LLE NINE
 DEFEATS TRADERS
Poor Support and Weak Hitting
 Cost Locals Game

Ineffective work with the stick combined with ragged fielding, cost the New Britain State Trade school it's third game in a row yesterday afternoon, when it dropped its con- test with Terryville High school by S3 at Walnut Hill park. Terryville got away to slight lead. but New Britain tied things at 2-2 in the second inning with it's only real rally of the afternoon. Then flies were misjudged and grounders bob bled, and Terryville went out in front to stay. It was discouraging to Kolodziej, the local pitcher, who was pitching his first game; he did . good piece of work but was ac- corded poor support. Many Of the blows which counted as hits were flies which fell between flelders: they were not the fault of the hurler.
 Flynn. although he was aggravat- ingly slow. pitched a neat game for the visitors and turned back good ly number on strikes. A return game will be played in Terryville on May 24. The Trade school is han dicapped by green material, Richt- myer being the only veteran left. but the squad is now finding itself and will acquire the necessary confidence as soon as it breaks its losing streak.

PRO BASKETBALL TO USE OWN RULES
Officials Will Compile List Dur-
 ing Summer

Chicago May 11.-tP>-Pro bas- ketball club owners in the American league today got down to work on their schedule for next season, after long session of debate on new rules.
 President Joe Carr Of Columbus declared that the pros would com pile their own rule book this sum- mer. eliminating a lot Of the A. A. U. and intercollegiate rules which he said merely served to form a procession to the foul line.
 Its field goals the crowd wants to see," Carr said, "and not mean- insless shots from the free throw mark. As for the dribblc, the coaches who think it will eliminate roughness are moving in the wrong direction. Guards dare not charge a dribbler. because he can dodge, but they will hang right on top of their forwards under a one bounce rule"
 Two more clubs may be chosen from the Detroit. Milwaukee and NeV York applicants.

 Coach Cassidy is so anxious to win the Hartford Public High school game that If the Weaver games is played this afternoon he may shift his catcher, Marion Zaleski. to tho pitchers box and send Garro in at catch. Zaleski was used in the pitch CTS box during the practice sessions and his work won him notice from the coach. He is anxious to face a high school team.
 Weaver High school is represented by a strong team and 1t will enter the game a favoritc. It has some of last years veterans who played a large part in victories over the Red and Gold team last year.

 I'd love to play Miss Lenglen again. of course, but I'd have to find out about the rules" She said.
 Has that old house what you call funny in the middle of the city, doesn't it? Reminds me of London. Oh, I just read Michael Arlen's book. Young Men in Love- I thought it was amusing. but sort of unreal"
 "I saw George Lott in Chicago yesterday and he said Tilden is playing wonderfully this year. Where are we now?"
 "rhose trees-It would be nice to live in New York, on the edge of park somewhere: I'd like to go on with my art studies here after I finish college"
 A newsboy scurried past shouting headlines of the Snyder murder trial.
 Everyone in California is talking about that" Remarked Miss Wills. All the papers have big headlines" "Yes, ] am eager to see this little girl, Sarah Palfrey. who plays ten- his so well. What fine looking church! You know it's more fun seeing things on the streets like this in New York. instead of night clubs. mean. of course I've tried them and it's interesting. but there you only see other out-of-town people trying to sec New York"

TURNS
COBB IS GIVEN 1 GREAT WELCOME
Detroit Fans Go Wild in Greeting
 Old Timer

Detroit May II P - With the cloud of an indefinite suspension lifted by Ban Johnson's ruling, and with the plaudits of thousands of Detroiters ringing in his ears, Ty Cobb was back in the Athletics line up to "give his best" against the team which yesterday joined the multitude of fans in a tribute to the Georgian.
 Cobb's reception yesterday was marked by spontaneous outburst of welcome that came as unstintedly from the city's dignitaries as from the kids in the streets. on the Georgian was thrust the unwilling role of a conuuering hero. returned to the scene of his major league triunphs. The cheering acclaim. which began the instant he stepped off a boat from Cleveland. did not reach it's zenith until he poled a two base hit in the game that spelled the beginning of the end of Detroits hopes of victory.
 It remained however. for George Moriarty. his successor as manager of the Tigers to strike the keynote of the entire celebration. speaking at noon day luncheon in honor Of Cobb, after a host of prominent citi- zens had delivered eulogies. Moriarty typiiied his predecessor as the man who reduced the hit and run to a prank. base stealing to a common incident and revolutionized the entire aspect of the game
 Moriarty, placing his hand on Cobb's shoulder as he spoke, related his experiences as a teammate of the former Tiger 20 years ago and pie tured him as one athlete above all others who played at all times for the winning run regardless of con- ditions.
 And that same trait has lived with him through the years to make him one of the greatest ball players of all time,' the Bengal pilot con- cluded.
 Cobb was visibly affected by the tribute and In voice that at times QulN NISu "ltil SAiolaoii' tiiaiNNN S4ASSS assembled for the kindness.
 T hope my old teammate, Moriarty, will be able to do more than I accomplished he said. T did the best l could with what l had. But that was not sufficient to produce a winner"
 After the luncheon Cobb was es- corted to Navin field at the head of a parade, participated in by members of local intercollegiate clubs and before the game was pre- scented 5,ith number of gifts, in- cludins an automobile.
 Cobb retired in the seventh fn- ming to rest his strained leg but will be back in the lineup today, it was announced.
 No comment regarding the sus- pension of Cobb and A. Simmons was forthcoming last night, after the lifting of the ban, and it was indicated the matter will be re- garded as a closed affair pending any possible further action by the American league head.

CHICAGO TEAMS MAKE BIG
 BID TO LEAD TWO LEAGUES
Moving Up At Expense of Fasteners - White Sox Down Senator's Cubs Trounce Phillies, Detroit Meets Setback, and Yankees Return to Winning Column.
py Inc Associated Press.

By tho Associated Press.
 Making a concerted bid. the base ball representatives of Chicago were in second and third places respec- lively in the American and National leagues today after moving up at the expense of eastern teams.
 Each foot of ground was contest ed stubbornly but to no avail. In both cases the eastern opposition ended by forming another stepping stone for the Chicago advance.
 In hard fought ball games. the White Sox downed the Senators by 1 to and climbed to second place in the American league. while the Cubs trounced the Phillies by 6 to 3 and rose to third in the National ranks.
 Tommy Thomas, White Sox pitcher, was the hero of this latest victory for his team. While holding the Senators to safeties he swung the bat for two hits which brought in three of Chicago's runs. Thus Thomas himself turned the tide of
  ton. Metzler who scored the win ming run for the Sox over the Yankees the day before, slammed the first homer made by White Sox player in their remodeled park.
 Still more impressive was the sweeping victory of the Cubs at Philadelphia. where the Cubs mopped up the enemy under bar rage of heavy hits. Three homers marked the bombardment and &C., counted for five of the six runs. One of the circuit clouts went to swell the growing record of Hack Wilson while Hartnett and stephen son made the others.
 By losing to these aggressive Chicago fees. the Senators sank to the second division while the Phil lies rested on it's brink in fourth place.
 Detroit met to setback at the hands of the Athletics and dropped from second to fourth while the Mackmen, again on the upgrade, went up notch to third. There was just one feature in that game, so far as Tiger fans went, and he was Ty Cobb, playing his first game at Navin Field in other than Tiger uniform. Now with the Athletics, Ty figured in the victory with a double in the first.
 The Yankees returned to, the win ming column and took a tighter grip on the roof with an 8 to I verdict over the St. Louis Browns. although they could get but seven hits off the offerings of Goston. One of those, however. was Babe Ruth's seventh homer and another a circuit drive by his outfleld mate. Bob Meusel.
 Wiltse's pitching and some con- sistent hitting carried the Red sox to a 6 to 4 victory over the Indians who are pressing them hard for the cellar

LEAGUE ENDS IN TIE
Bedbugs Tie Lice In Boys Club Vol Icy Ball Loop-Play-on For Title Next Tuesday.

The Boys club senior volley ball league came to a finish last night with two teams tied for first place. and it will be necessary to stage q post-season play-off in order to de- termine the championship. Joe Gof- fa's Lice, who were out in front and had only to win last nights match to take the title, dropped their en- counter with John kley's Pleas. This gave Nick Gill's Bedbugs a chance to tie them. and. since the Bedbugs were playing Pete Sliva's Cooties. the lowest animals in the club insect league, things looked good. The Cooties put up a good fight but were outplayed by the Bedbugs, who climbed into the deadlock for first position. The Lice and Bedbugs will meet next Tuesday night to settle the issue.
