smith IS FINED
and SUSPENDED
Pittsburgh Catcher Punished for
Attack on Dave Bancroft

New York, June Is PrEarl
Smiths assault on Manager Dave
Bancroft Of the Boston Braves,
termed "disgraceful attack with
out warrant or warning" by Prest-
dent John A. Heydler OF the National
league. will cost the Pittsburgh
catcher a fine of $500 and suspen-
sion for 80 days dating from June
is.
The league head classad the attack
as vicious and brutal in melting
out his punishment yesterday. Ban
croft was knocked unconscious by a
blow from Smiths fist during game
between the Pirates and Braves at
Pittsburgh June Is. Several stitches
were necessary to close wound in
Bancrott's head.
The punishment. one Of the most
severe ever handed out in the his
tory of the league, came after I'M
pres Empires Mccormick and Klein,
who officiated in the game. reported
that Smiths actions were entirely
unwarranted. The assault occurred at
the plate when Bancroft, after scor-
ing in the seventh inning, reported
to the umpires that smith was
abusing me something awful"
without warning. or giving the
smaller man chance to defend him
self" President Heydler's statement
said, Smith, big man of exccp-
tional strength and power. struck
Bancroft in the face with such force
that the stricken man fell in help
less heap and was carried uncon-
scious and bleeding from the field
The evidence of the umpire shows
that with practically no provocation
he reused himself to such rage that
his act might have resulted seriously
or even fatally"
Hours afterward, Heydler said
Smith showed no repentance for his
act and displayed a belliserent atti-
tude TO other Boston players in the
lobby of their hotel, showing that
the Pittsburgh catcher could not
plead loss of temper as excuse fol
the attack.

tomorrow in their first step into
the Western Connecticut league. The
locals have already secured "Butsy''

Sheehan as a member of the tribe
of Buccaneers.
With the stars Of former years
back in harness, the team gives
promise Of making trouble for all
the other outfits in the circuit and
tomorrow's clash with the junior
team from the Paper Goods town
means a battle that will be a sizzler
from the start to the finish.
slim" Politis has been doing the
burden of the pitching for the Ken

experience of facing his old team
mates when he steps into the box
against the Pirates tomorrow. The
Pirates feel confident that they will
make him walk the plank.
A peculiar coincidence took place
yesterday in the Eastern league in
which three games were played
when each contest resulted in the
score OF to 4. Hartford beat
Bridgeport to 4; Providence beat
Pittsheld 6 to I and New Haven
downed Albany to 4.
Bill Sweeney OF the Shuttle Mea-
dow club shot a hole In one at the
Hartford Golf club Thursday after
noon. The feat was turned at the
eighth hole. He was shooting q
practice round in preparation for
the state championship and came to
the 175-yard drive. He laid the
ball straight down the fairway, onto
the green and into the cup. Chalk
up another name for the golflng
hall OF fame.
Willie Woiack who becomes a
benedict next Tuesday. was the guest
OF honor at gathering of friends
at the Falcon club last night. The
reception was staged by members Of
the Falcon baseball team and Of
the club. About 20 were present
and a real time was staged. This
will be one of those events that
will stick in Willie's mind after he
enters the married state.
Another baseball player to step
off, from single blessedness into the
center of orange blossoms, Is Angelo
Morelli. Angelo will also be mar
ried next Tuesday.
\ Maybe these two will be like Paul
