 IN LEAGUE GAME
Meet CollinsVille Team at Willow
 Brook Park Sunday
The Corbin Red Sox baseball team

The Corbin Red Sox baseball team will meet the Collinsville team in a regularly scheduled game in the Central Connecticut baseball league at Willow Brook park Sunday after noon at 3:l5 o'clock. The locals dropped the first league contest to Southington last Sunday and the members of the team are out to win tomorrow.
 Collinsville is bringing to New Britain an exceptionally strong out fit, one on which the fans of the town are depending to bring home victory against Johnny Jobin's crew.
 O'Donnell, one of the twirling aces of the visitors. will probably be on the mound with Dick Schroeder in the catching berth. T. infield will find Lambert on first, Zils on sec ond, Barnett on short and D. Currie on third. The outtield will be cov- cred by Jones in left. R. Currie in center and Maroney in right.
 The visiting aggregation Is not only tca", that is strong on field ing, but the lineup impresses those who know the players as being an exceptionally strong offensive one. Almost all the men on the team are good hitters and the local twirlers will have to be at their best to get away with win.
 Manager John Tobin will use his regular lineup with either Buckland or "Porky" Flynn throwing them over. Buckland was not in the best of form last Sunday but he has rest ed this week and expects to be in good shape for the game Sunday.
 The contest will start promptly at 3:15 o'clock. The Red Sox will prac- tice tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock on Diamond No. l at Willow Brook park.

An important battle between two of the five teams now tied for first place in the Church baseball league will be fought tonight at Willow Brook park when the Trim ity Methodists meet the First Lath- crans on Diamond No. 1. Each team has played two games and won both, and tonight's game is expected to be | corker.

 irl with airtight fielding.
 ar The South Congregational and 'r st Baptist church representatives ] Hil play on Diamond No. 2. These teams have been hoodooed by weather and have played only one game apiece. each losing that single contest. Roth teams are rather spotty in their play, being brilliant and cratic in turns, and they are about evenly matched. The third game. played on the grass diamond, will bring Kensington Up against the Swedish Bethany array. The lat ter has shown great deal of de- fensive strength and some batting power: Kensington, long delayed by wet weather, was soundly trounced in its first engagement,

BATTLE FOR RYDER
 CUP BEGINS TODAY
American and British Golf Teams in Annual Tournament

Worcester, Mass. June RA
 Eight famous American golt profes. sionals set out today to explore the intricacies of two ball foursomes with eight equally famous British pros. to decide possession of the Ryder cup, now held by the visitors through crushing defeat Of the Americans m Great Britain last year. The Americans were whistling as they set about their task. but it may have been 10 keep their cour- age up for the homebred stars do not pretend 10 know great deal about two men playing one ball. The practice in com binations of four in the United States has long been the best ball of four to decide the holes The two ball foursome is old stuff to the British players.
 Tomorrow singles will be played when the Americans will feel more at home. so today's effort over the long stretch of 3e holes will be to keep themselves within striking dis tance of comeback if they run into trouble in the foursomes.
 As the international matches start ed the British were conceded . slight edge by close observers of the play of members of the two teams in practice rounds over the difficult course of the Worcester Country club. The British seemed more on their game. The sensational Aubrey Boomer stirred the galleries, but he was matched by Al Espinosa, first line substitute of the Americans. who was so good in practice that he crashed his way into the select eight. aided by an injury to an essential thumb of the brilliant Al Watrous.
 The international test brought golfers from far and near to Wor- cester and all the matches were representative followers be- fore they started.
 Worcester formally and enthu- welcomed the distin- guished golfers with banquet on the eve of the opening of play.
 Pairing for today were:
 George Duncan and Archie Comp ston, British, vs. Johnny Farrell and Joe Turnesa, American.
 Aubrey Boomer and Charles A. British, vs. Leo Diegel and Bill Mehlhorn, American.
 Captain Ted Ray and Fred Robe- son, British, vs. Captain Walter Ha- zen and John Golden. American.
 Arthur Havers and Hert Jolly, British, vs. Gene Sarazen and Al Espinosa, American.

LATED ID DEFEND
 TITLE VS. DUNDEE
KelterHeiBht Champion Meets Baltimore Man in New York

New York, June 3 R-With the
 so-called expert" opinion sharply
 divided as to the outcome. Pete Latzo. worlds welterweight cham pion, and Joe Dundee, the Baltimore challenger, will settle their differ ences over the 15 round route tonight at the Polo Grounds.
 Although the odds were slightly in Latzo's favor today, some of the critics favored his American rival because Of the expressed doubt on the champions ability to make the l41 pound limit at o'clock without weakening himself. Al Thoma, Iatzo's trainer, said the former Scranton, Pa.. mine boy scaled under the limit a few days ago and would enter the ring at his full strength. Others more skeptical were just as certain that the welter- weight monarch had outgrown his class.
 It was only a few months ago that the stolid Dundee encountered a then unknown boxer, Eddie Roberts. who knocked him out in three punches, stopping abruptly his championship aspirations. Dundee met his conquer or a short time later and beat him over 10 rounds in New York by magnificent display of courage, after being tloored in one of the early rounds.
 Dundee is a natural welterweight and has no trouble making the weight limit. He has done his train ing in Baltimore and his handlers declare he is in perfect physical con- dition. This is the first time Latzo has actually defended his title over the championship distance, and Dundee, realizing life time ambi- tion-a chance at the welterweight determined to throw everything he has at his command into this one effort.
 A majority of the critics believe the contest will go the limit. Latzo, a straight hitter. exceptionally rug ged. has won most of his battles by wearing down his opponents. He is a good ring general. comes from fighting stock. and can assimilate Dundee has shown abli- ity to retrieve lost ground, is game and courageous. fairly aggressive and stiff puncher.
 Preliminaries will start at ,S:15 o'clock. eastern daylight time, and he main bout is scheduled at 10 D, m. l

 3. Is it permissible for runner to pass behind fielder who is about to nake play on batted ball?

 This Tells It

 ?. 4 balk and interference is called. The balk scores the run ner from third. the interference en- titles the batsman to first.
 3. Surely, he can run behind or in front of the fielder making the play. He must avoid him or be called out for interference, for the fielder has the right of way.
 1. The batsman is the only player who can start force play.
 5. Such authority is supposed to be vested solely in the umpire-in- chief. but the base umpire can re- quest such action on his part.
