NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 192
ATHLETICS BOAST
 HITTING 0U1fIELD
Siege Gun Pov9 of Yankees
 Hw Wand Since July

New York. Sept. .s R-lt wouldn't have taken more than one guess to pick the heaviest hitting outfield in baseball last year. The Yankee combination of Ruth. Meu- gel and Combs wrought havoc on all sides. This season. however, its siege sun power has waned. espe- cially since July. 50 much so that the Athletics now boast the heavi- est attack of any of the four clubs in the closing pennant scramble.
 Tho Yankee trio boaxted a com bined average of 1850 with the stick in 1927 but the latest unofficial av- erages show . falling of to .317. with the chief reservist. Ben Paschal around the same notch. The Athle- tics are ten points higher with 8 mark of .317 for the four who have seen the. most service-Simmon Miller. Cobb and French.
 Tho reversible Giant outfield forces offer considerable contrast. The strongest trio at bat. averaging around 1920. consists of Welsh, Ott and O'Doul. The combination of Welsh. Reese and Mann is barely ablc to muster an average of 300. but 1t is more effective against southpav pitching. The youthful Ott is the hardest natural hitter in the collection, but Welsh and Reese have been setting a terrihc pace lately.
 The Cardinals have 8 great slug ger in Chick Hafey. who hits them earnestly and far but it takes his excellent mark of around .34O to pull the St. Louis average up to .30l for the outer garden as q whole. Douthit covers a lot of ground in center. but he has not been hitting consistently. Harper and Holm, who divide the right field responsibilities, also are somewhat cratic. Defensively. the veteran Yankee trio is the best of the lot There aren't two better throwing arms in the business than those o1 Ruth and Meusel while Combs is ball-hawk. The loss of Eddie Roush cut down some of the de. fensive skill of the Giant outfield but Welsh has proved capable successor.

pertepce for every position.
 Niemiec Is great back who can kick. pass and run. The Notre Dame passing attack suffered last year be- cause he was out when Flanagan was in as Niemiec was Rockne's best passer. This year Niemiec will be 2 regular and the forward passes will fly to the mark in every game Notre Dame plays.
 Chevigny, another halfback, is ex- ceptionaliy fast and the best defen- sive back I saw last season. Elder, the sprinter. is about ready to do sensational work on the gridiron.
 These are only a few Of the men with one or two years of experience from whom Rockne should be able to build a typical Notre Dame team. In the line the Irish will be strong at center. almost as strong at guard and bit stronger at tackle. The backfield will be stronger defen- sively than it was last year and practically as strong extensively in spite of the loss of Flanagan.
 Marquette starts with one of the country's greatest all-round backs in Captain Gebert, a big fellow, who can do everything brilliantly. Crow- ley. Corbett and Waschick are also dependable backs. Ten linemen who had experience last year will be back and the best information ob- tainable is that the oncoming sophomores are of exceptional class. Several of them will pass last years regular for starting positions.

Ted Hart went into the finals for the championship of Shuttle Meadow by defeating Bill Sweeney : up and 1 to play yesterday afternoon. He putted his way to victory while Sweeney lost tt> match on the greens. Both played their woods and irons to perfection.
 Sweeney got away to 8 flying start by sinking his approach for three on the first hole. The rest of the holes to the ninth were halved. Hart captured the final hole of the lower nine to even up the match. Both players scored 3S's.
 Sweeney took the 10th and 1lth holes but Hart evened the match by winning the next two with a par and birdie. The 18th was halved in par {. Ted was one up on the 18th with a 3 to for his opponent. The 18th was halved in fives when both failed to sink their butts.
 It took steady nerves to play the 17th hole. Ted had a onehole lead which he must not lose. Sweeney must win both of the last two holes to win the match at the 18th hole. A test of golfinx skill faced them both as they teed oil.

SPLIT DEVELOPS
suspension 0f Members in soccer League Results in Wide Open Breach In Relations.

New York Sept. 26 R--A vide open split had developed between tn Uniteed States Football associa- lion and the American Soccer league over the latter organizations action in spspending and fining three of its members.
 The league suspended the New York Giants, Newark and Bethle- hem for entering in the football as- sociation's championship tourney after the league had voted to remain out of the competition. Fine of S1.- GOO on each club also were levied.
 The football association now has informed the American league that unless the suspensions are lifted within 2i hours drastic action" will be taken. This was interpreted to mean that the league would be ruled out of the National association.
 Representatives of the three sus- pended clubs were quoted as saying they had no intention of withdraw. ing their entries from the tourna- mcnt and that they were prepared to withdraw from the league and form . new professional circuit ol their own.

LITTLE WORLD SERIES
Rochester of International and ln- diannpolis Of American start Play JNlay.

Rochester. N. Y.. Sept. :G P)- The Little World Series for the class A championship of organized base ball opens here this afternoon.
 The opposing teams. Rochester Of the International league. and In- dianapolis of the American associa- ton, won their respective circuit races by narrow margins and look to be evenly matched.
 The edge. if there is any. is con ceded to the Indians with their re- puted superior hurling staff. but the hitting which pushed Rochester over in the last week of the 1nterna- tonal race may more than offset that advantage.
 If the series goes the run nine games. or near that. pitching will possibly triumph. But if Rochester can jump into the lead and hold it down to the bare five necessary 10 cop the championship their hurlers may hold up.
 It's play-off between the two leagues. each having held the cham pionship five times which adds in terest to the contests.

 An EastsFn league baseball team here hes been the subject of dis cussion fer several ysars. Many are of the opinion that such . project would pay handsomely. Others pre- dict that 1t vauld be . flat failure. OtAers think that 1t would probably be % here.

 However, predictions of all sorts were made regarding the numerous sports promoted here last year but all of them. with hardly an ex- ception. were highly successful.
 The City Bowling league got un- der way last night at Rogers Recreation Alleys and some good scores were rolled. Piedmont hit s7s for three strings while stedman rolled S7S and was tied with Matty Hayes for high single with . mark of lls.
 The Stanley Rule | Level league got going also last night and Camp bell, Myers. Knowles and Willametz were the shining stars.

An Electrical Fence for Fish.

The great turbine power plants of
the West are very destructive to the
fish which pass through them and are
killed in large numbers by the rough
treatment they encounter. The matter
has been one of great concern to the
game enthusiasts and the management
of the plants. An invention to pre-
vent the destruction Of FISH by turbine
wheels has been invented by an en-
gineer for a Pacific Coast power and
light company. It consists of two rows
of parallel electrodes suspended from
wooden framework above the water.
The rows are four feet apart and the
electrodes three feet apart. The cleo
trodes are at approximately the same
level near the bed of the stream. An
electric field set up about the electrodes
will reach in equal strength from the
surface of the water to the bottom of
the stream. It's strength will taper of
in proportion to the distance upstream
and downstream from the center of the
field. The device Is so constructed that
when fish approaches tailrace 1t will
swim into the edge of the electric field
and either be Immediately turned back
or, II 1t attempts to enter the field
farther, q still greater shock will be
sufficient b discourage this procedure.
A field current Of three volts or four
volts Is ample to divert q 30-inch sal
mon. 1t Is c0ntended, and yet will do
the fiSh no harm. even If It swins en-
tirely through the field The first of
these devices are being installed at the
various dams Of the California Oregon
Power Co.

In the industrial world, as elsewhere,
there Is constantly being manifested a
restlessness which is dificult to explain.
1t appears that many industries are
moving as close as possible to popula-
ton centers. possibly in part to meet
the demand for quick deliveries due
to the hand-to-mouth buying policy of
many retailers and dealers. Others
seem to be trying to get away from
elites because Of labor troubles, poor
nving conditions and excessive over
head costs. In this connection an in
teresting and important survey Is being
made which Is considered of great
value not only to industries but also
to cities and towns affected. In gen.
eral the work u intended to show what
industries are moving, where and why,
and the relative advantages of small
and large cities.
