the weight of two Yankee defeats.
the Red Birds are heading home to-
day to save what they may from the
world series of 1928.
With the championship even now
almost beyond their reach. the
downcast champions of the National
League are reassembling the bits of
wreckage to build up whatever de-
fense they can against the Yankee
invasion Of St. Louis tomorrow.
Reds Must Score
The selection of a pitcher to stop
the American League champions
with some reasonable number OF
runs seemed less pressing problem
than how the Red Birds themselves
might score few. After giving
George Pipgras two bad innings yes
terday before the deluge descended
upon old Alex, the Cardinals lapsed
back into the form they had showr
against Hoyt ON the previous after
noon.
Given the right setting and
enough encouragement, these Ma
tional League standard bearers may
yet bat a no-hit game for some
Yankee pitcher, the card tota
against Hoyt was three safeties

tGALENA, Kas., May S-Cur- tailment of production by several large zinc and lead mines has re- vived poor mans mining" in the Galena field.
 Many miners without jobs have become prospectors for the ore in this field. where the deposits are near the surface of the earth and can be obtained with limited cap. ital and a minimum of equip nient. This field was one of the first exploited in the district cen tering around the corner marking tbe boundaries of Kansas. Okla homa and Missouri. But more valuable ore remains in the ground. for the machinery used in those days was small and crude. aud milled satisfactorily only the richer rocks.
 Consequently the jobless miners are seeking out claims in the abandoned field and prospecting for the metal. They are finding ''pay dirt" too. Recently a group of them headed by Tom Johnson, who worked the field in carly days, uncovered deposit that en- abled them to dispose of their claim at handsome profit.

One OF the features OF the year
were two unexpected victories over
New Haven Hillhouse high with
which the rivalry is second only to
that between New Britain and Hart
ford. In basketball the team over
came q big first half advantage and
won by a lone basket. In baseball
the Hil1house team came to this
city with a record Of nine victories,
but 1t lost its first game to New
Britain which had not won a game.
In football last fall New Haven was
favored to win but 1t was lucky to
tie New Britain. The final whistle
kept New Britain from scoring
when 1t was within q foot Of
touchdown.
Hartford and New Haven each
scored more points than New Brit

award will be made semi-annually.

c. A. on the latters home floor. her-
elejza hooked and spun the ball in
from all angles. getting nine field
goals and two fouls for total OF
90 points and proving altogether too
much for the Winsted aggregation.
1t was the first game played by
the club since the release OF Schmarr
to the high school, and much de-
pended upon its showing. Parparlan,
starting in Schmarr's place, did not
fit in we'll and was replaced by Carl
Rametta, who scored three baskets
and made an excellent showing in
his first appearance In fast company.
Gotta, at center. put IN tour neld
goals, while Grusha continued to be
a scoring threat in the back court
and made ten points for his team.
Mike Paluch. another newcomer TO
the first team, got into the game IN
the closing minutes and made his
presence felt by sinking neat field
goal. But. over and above all, it was
the steady and accurate lombard
ment Of Kerelejza that kept the club
out of danger in fast game against
fast team.
New Britain piled up a 27-14 lead
in the first half, taking the home
team off its feet by the power OF Its
attack. Winsted rcgained its breath
and did better in the final half, but
the club held its early lead and
even increased it by one point in q
well contested 20 minutes OF play.
Canty starred for Winsted with Il
points. The losing five was without
the services of one of its star play
ers. and it hopes to give the local
team a better run when 1t comes
down here for a return game later
in the season. The victory of New
Britain was unexpected and has
strengthened the morale OF the team
considerably, besides indicating to
the public that a very strong ou'fll

Local Team Is Superior

Despite the fact that two regu-

team to play with Middletown, and
that a third played through the
game in poor health. the Burritt
basketball team defeated the Nut
megs, a collection of some OF Hart

preliminary to the New Britain

The Hardware City team got of
to a flying start on four successive
baskets by Fred Saunders and a
basket by Joe Luty and had a 10

eight minutes old. Throughout the

with Hayes in the Hartford New

Handicapped him for some time.
Joe Luty who was taking Hank"

fine game defensively. In the back
court he took the ball off the back
board and is proving that he will
be a better guard than a center.
Al Havlick was the player who took
part in the entire game when he
should have been on the sick list,
but his team was short of men and
he insisted on playing. Darrow who
