 Al Havlick returned to the mound for Fafnirs after two months lay- off due to a fractured collar bono and twirled the Dragons to a tine victory over the Rulers. Al was in splendid form and held the losers scoreless until tho eighth inning when his support faultered and al. lowed the Rulers ., score five times.

League Standing

All hope of the P. & F. Corbin baseball team to come in as a win ner of the Industrial League pen nant was shattered last night when the American Paper Goods team handed the team its fourth setback in the feature game at Walnut Hill park Up to last night, the Corbin team had an excellent chance to tie the Stanley Works. but now. the Buttmakers have to win only one game to cop the league. Fafnir:' beat the Stanley Rule crew in the second game of the night.
 The Stanley Works team will play one of it's three remaining games to- night at 5:30 o'clock at Walnut Hill park when it meets Landers in q contest postponed from last Tues- day. Should the Buttmakers win, they are certain to be the cham pions of the league.
 Corbin-Paper Goods
 What little chance the Corbin team had of remaining in the fight for the Industrial League pennant went by the boards last night when the American Paper Goods team of kensington, after 8 slow start, hit a winning stride and came in on the long end of an 8 to score. The kensington crew staged one big in- ming. That was the seventh, the lucky seventh, and six men were scored on five hits and an error. A run in the fifth and another in the eighth gave the team its winning margin.
 Jim Mccormick, conqueror of the Stanley Works team, again occupied the mound and he again came through with victory. He met his bumps in the first frame when Cor bins scored four runs on three hits but it was ragged support that put him in the hole. Corbins got one more in the fourth and their last run in the ninth. After a shaky first inning. the Paper Goods team settled down and played fairly good baseball for the remaineder of the game.
 Corbins started off in the first in- ming. Jasper doubled on the first ball pitched. Lipka sacrificed him and Mills singled riding him home. Huber rolled to Kane but with a sure double in the works, Kane al- lowed the ball to go through his legs and Mills went home, Huber resting at third. Patrus hit sac rifice fly to left and Kane threw wildly to first. Bates single brought in the last counter. Another was scored in the fourth on an error at third and single.
 The Paper Goods failed to get a hit or a man on base in the first four innings Jim Mccormick singl- ed and stole second. He went to third on an infield out and came home on sacrifice fly to right.
 Jim Mccormick doubled to start the sixth. Williams walked. Sullick tripled. Kane was out at first. Ma lone rolled to Patrus who threw wildly to home. Johnson famed. Maguder singled and Jo Mccormick hit a homer to right. Warren's dou- ble ended the hitting for the frame. Two singles gave the team its eighth run in the eighth inning.

Larger and Lighter
 Golf Ball Is Sought

New York. Aug. 10 NP)-Pro- posals for larger and lighter golf ball are to be discussed at the meet ing of the United States Golf Asso- citation here today. If adopted, the plan will tend to make the game more difficult, it's backers say. The new ball will not have the distance nor the ease of control that the present one has, it is contended. A number of well known golfers are said to favor the new ball. They include Bobby Jones, Jess Sweetser and Francis Ouimet.

 Hartford. Aug. 10.-Kid Kaplan stands at the crossroads in his bout with Bruce Flowers, flashy colored lightweight. at the Hartford East ern league baseball park tonight.
 kaplan must win over Flowers if he is to go forward in the campaign which he has mapped out and which contemplates return bouts with both Billy Wallace of Cleveland and Jimmy McLarnin of California. A defeat for the Meriden boy to- night would be a serious blow and kaplan has worked as hard in preparation for this battle as for any of the battles he had when he sat the throne as the worlds feather weight champion.
 Louis wants this bout and he wants it by a decisive margin; to that end. he has worked like q beaver at his camp at Silver Lake on the Meriden- Berlin town line and he has reaped the reward, his phy- sical condition being superb as he awaits the bell to call him to battle with the clever colored boy.
 Dinny McMahon declares Kaplan in the best shape in more than a year and hitting harder than ever in the daily sparring sessions. kap- lan's trainer and chum, for Dinny is all of that. is enthusiastic and as kaplan wound up his training yes- terday his trainer predicted a de- cisive victory with a knockout not unlikely.
 Visitors to Kaplan's camp have been impressed by the savage manner in which he has torn in at his sparring partners.
 Flowers wound up his training at the Charter Oak gym here yester- day with big turnout of fans look ing on. Flowers too. is in good shape and showed speed and a great left hook in his session with Eddie Phister and other of the sparring partners. Flowers is making no pre- diction. but his manager, Harry Garish. says the colored boy will even the score with Kaplan tonight. Billy Gibson and Lou Erik, who was in Gene Tunney's corner in the Heeney fight. will be in Kap- lan's corner with McMahon and Billy Wallace. first battler ever to kayo kaplan, will be on hand to announce his willingness to grant kaplan the return bout Louis has sought 50 long,
