Stanley Works Team Fails to Hit In the Pinches Outplays Winners In Every Department - Scott Has Edge In Pitch ing Over Lefty" At- wood.

Not at all outplayed or outgamed. the Stanley Works baseball team. champion of the Industrial League, went down to defeat at the hands of the Falcons at St. Mary's field Saturday by the close score Of 2 to 0. The fact that gave the Falcons their victory was their ability to hit, not frequently. but just at the time when hits meant runs.
 The game developed into a pitch- CTS battle between Walter Scott of the Stanley Works and Lefty" At- wood of the Falcons. Strange as it may seem, Scott had the better of the argument although his team lost He struck out seven men to five for Atwood and he failed to walk man while Atwood passed one. Scott al- lowed only four hits while the Stan ley Works batters got five off Att woods delivery. Atwood had one error behind him while none were committed by the factory players.
 At the same time. it was through a wild heave by Scott that hit Charlie kredar while at bat that gave the Falcons the opportunity of scoring their first run. kredar got around to third on double by Soule which "Ty Cobb Gaida mis- judged in left field. Then when Johnny Klatka almost knoc1ed Scott over with a drive to the box, kredar scored while Scott tossed Klatka out at first.
 The winners second tally came in the fourth inning when with two out. Noonan doubled sharply to left and Johnny Rose connected with d long single to center field. The was the sum total of all the scoring done by the two teams during the game
 Only once did the Stanley Works team threaten to score. This was in the second inning when Johnny Parsons after reaching second dash ed for home on a hit through short and third by Abramowicz. A sensa- tional stop by McCeary behind Reilly and his perfect throw to the plate had Parsons caught standing up. After this. Salak was the only man to reach third and he died there as his mates were put out one after the other.
 A fair-sized crowd of fans watch ed the game which started late but was speedily played. McCleary feat ured sor the winners with his spec tacular play in short while Wen droski pulled q hard-running catch in right field that was the fielding gem of the game.

 GROWN THIS WEEK
Rene acosk Not to Defend Liurels Won Last Season

Forest Hills, N. Y.. Sept. 10 R- Americas greatest tennis prize-the national singles championship-goes on the bargain counter this week. waiting for a new owner from among the s4 knights of the court who will do battle for it.
 The failure Of Rene I.acoste. the French ace who won the title in 1928 and 1927. to defend leaves the United states with little more chance of recovering the title than it would have had had the Frenchman de- cided to drop his business and come to America. Another Frenchman. Henri Cochet. is ready to grab the honor. At top form. Cochet can beat anybody in the world and in recent weeks he has given evidence that he is at his competitive best.
 Pre-tournam ment discussion seems to boil itself down to who will be runner-up to the little Frenchman.
 In the field ot s4 are Americas . best youngsters as we'll aa the pick of tennis talent from England. Aus tralia. and fance. Entries from Canada, Japan, Cuba and Mexico help to give the 1928 championship a heavier foreign tinge than it ever has had.
 With the two balls-Tilden and Johnston--out of the picture, Ameri- cas- hopes are settled on John Hem messy and George Lott.
 Though somewhere out of the pack may come some new Yankee tennis hero to take up the burden where Tilden and Johnston left off. Barring such an unexpected occur renee, Lott and Hennessy are the men of the hour. If they can not stop the French invasion. Uncle Sam will be about ready to give up the title for another year.
 Cochet is due to make his first ap- pearance on the stadium court at 5 o'clock this afternoon when he op- poses Thomas Wilber, of New Haven in the first round.
