BLUES WIN GAME
New Britain Team Reverses Decision
in Meeting With Shamrocks Of

New Britain Team Reverses Decision
in Meeting With shamrocks Of
New London.
The New Britain Blues baseball
team reversed the decision on the
Shamrocks OF New London yesterday
at Willow Brook park when the
locals took an interesting game by
the score Of 9 to 7. Good and bad
baseball was played during the game
and the lead changed hands several
times.
The Shamrocks opened In the
third and fourth innings to score
four runs. The Blues tied them in
the fifth but the New London crew
scored three more in the sixth. These
came with two hits mixed in with a
lot Of bad baseball on the part Of the
Blues In the eighth, however. the
Blues scored five runs on three
passes, a long two Dagger by DR..
Zwick who went in as pinch hitter.
The locals held the opposition safe in
the ninth and the game was won.
The wor.s of Krause and Nc
Knerney in the infield and the pitch
ing the Chant were the features OF
the play of the local team. Itzkowitz
in center field and Brown in the box
turned in the features for the WISH
tors. Hamlin and Chant pitched for
New Britain and Hayes catching and
Brown served them and Donovan re-
ceived for New London.

committee has declared its willing

AZ was predicted. Ted Hart failed
to hold his lead in the twilight tour
nament. A. B. Porter. known to the
initiated as 'Fonz." came through
with two ISIS which with his IA
handicap, brings him down to 81.
This puts him six strokes ahead OF
Hart for the two weeks play. Ted
turned in another net Of 81 during
the past week.
"Fonz" now has the burden OF
keeping ahead Of the field which is
fast bearing down on the leaders.
Hart il still after him and to hear
him declare himself, one is remind
ed Of certain fighter in Boston OF

time. What's six strokes to me?"
"Fonz," however. will probably
prove to be the Dempsey in this
case.

From a managerial standpoint.
the team isn't drawing in the money
it should at st. Mary's field. but that
is the fault OF the spectators rather
than OF the club. The team has
been entertaining with fine baseball
mostly all season and II the specta-

management has legitimate kick.

school authorities have checked up report that q boy injured in q gymnasium and given first aid treatment in the usual manner had developed q serious infection, and have found the story entirely eroundless.
 Although rather widely circulat- cd. the family physician and the doctor who took the N-ray as u "ccautionary measure, have both informed the school department that the story is entirely erroneous and instead of the patient being in | hospital he is attending school regularly. The boy injured his finger while at play and was sent to the school medical bureau. There he received first aid and advice that he consult the family physician. which he did. Although the school physicians are not re- duircd to follow up cases ot this kind it was thought advisable to investigate because of the preva- lence of the infection report.
