The Willow Brook team brought
it's season to close in an suspicious
manner by trouncing a sadly weak
ened Paradise Park team. This was
one OF the closing games OF the
schedule that was completed later
in the afternoon. The game was
called by agreement in the first half
of the ninth.
Lefty" Folden in the last ap-
pearance in the box for his team
this year pitched excellent baseball
and limited the Paradise Park team
to four solitary bingles. But % men
faced him during the afternoon and
home. Kelly scoring on Blocks dou-
Bile in the fifth.
The winners showed plenty of
punch at the bat and they cracked
out 16 safe bingles, seven for extra
bases. kulas led the hitting attack
with four safe wallops including
double and a triple. Lynch crashed
three hits out of five attempts. Slysz
was the only man on the losing out
fit that was able to get more than
one safe hit. Baylock and English
featured with pretty stops. The WIN
ners played strong defensive game.
Paradise Parks protest OF the
Washington game Monday was not
allowed by the league officials as it
was found out that Quenk and fisk,
the players who the Park team We're
protesting as being over age were
both under the age limit.

been the last game played this sea-
son on diamond No. ] scheduled be-
tween the Vance and Nathan Hale
outfits was forfeited to the latter

PAT7ISON BEATEN
BY FRANK KRAMER
East Berlin Netman Takes Still
Match in County Tourney

The County Y. NJ. c. A. tennis
tournament continued last evening
at Walnut Hill park, the feature
match of the evening being that
between Frank Kramer of East
Berlin and ]. NJ. Pattison OF Sims
bury. Kramer finally wore his OPP
ponent down and won q three-set
duel by 2-6. GO, 623. Pattison had
things all his own way in the first
set, showing a great variety or
strokes which, coupled with speed
and accuracy, enabled him to run
the East Berlin youth off his feet
and bring an easy victory. The sec
ond set was another matter. The
Simsbury players accuracy began
to slip, while Kramer found means
of combating his opponents speed
and put in many placements for
points. The decisive tilt was hard
fought, but Kramer again proved
the stronger man and took the
match. He thereby advanced into
the semi finals, as he draws a bye
in the second round.
Edmund Siegrist, the other East
Berlin player in the singles. was
put out OF competition last night
after he had pulled one match out
of the fire. Siegrist and Alden Hew-
EFT of New Britain had been forced
to postpone their match on Tues
day night when darkness interviewed
after the players had split the first
two sets and Hewett was leading by
Al in the third. Last night Hewett
graciously consented to play the
third set over but his playing was
not equal to his craftsmanship. He
banged his way to 40 lead, then.
thinking he had the match. he eased
up bit and gave Siegrist game
on three double-faults. This gave
the East Berlin player renewed
confidence and he proceeded to run
off the next five games to win the
match at GO, As, GA. His con-
sistent accuracy stood him in good
stead in the final games and gave
him a victory when Hewett lost
heart and began to wilt.
Siegrist, who was the smallest
player in the tournament, was put
out shortly afterward when. follow
ing a rest, he met Bob Farr of
Plainvlle in the first match of the
second round. Farr was too fast for
the youngster, his drives running
Sfegrist into the ground and giving
him win at CO, GA in spite of
gallant stand by the East Berlin
youth in the final set.
Kramer and Bruno Miglioli OF
East Berlin met X. w. Hurlburt and
A. Stanton of Southington in the
opening set-to of the doubles play
and captured the first set by GA.
Darkness prevented the match from
going any further and it will be
finished tonight. 1t will get under
way at o'clock.
New Britain and Simsbury are
also scheduled to meet in doubles
tonight. The Giana- Hanny singles
match was postponed last night and
will be played this evening.

The failure OF the Yankees to live

BY HENRY l.. FARREAL
NEA Service Sports Writer

Down south last winter Bill Nc
kechnie gave vivising scribes some
of the reasons which encouraged
him to believe that the ST. Louis
Cardinals would not only be up there
but would be the club that would
have to be beaten by the pennant
winner.
"Our pitching" he said, looks a..
good to me as any in the league and
pitching is going to be the big fac
tor this coming season. Haines won
"a games last year. He's compare
lively young and he is a strong fell
low. He ought to do as well or bet
ter this year.
Alexander won FL games last
season. We all know that he's old
but we know too that he is a great
pitcher. He throws with his head
and he'll be in there this season
with just as many games.
"Rhem won only 10 games last
year and pitched only nine complete
games. He had private troubles
which handicapped him, but they
have been adjusted and he's salts
fled now. He ought to be a big win
ner this year"
And then there's Bill" he added.
after pause. pointing to Sherdel.
Hell be a handy fellow to have
around"
McKechnie probably didn't know
how right he was going to be when
he handed Wee Willie the left hand
ed compliment of being a handy
man.
On his 1927 record. however.
there was nothing to warrant costa
sizes from any manager, nothing to
rate him up with the mainstays Of
the pitching staff.
The review in the annual baseball
guide said that Sherdel in 1927 had
an average season. He pitched
only is complete games, won II and
lost ~. He lost three out of seven
to the Giants, lost two games and
won none from the Pirates, lost
three out of five to the Cubs and
won his three games from the Reds.
He murdered the Braves and the
Pills but those games don't count
so much.
It is in the role of McKechnie't
handy man that Sherdel has scinti!-
lated this year. however, and rates
as the leading pitcher on the club
If Haines, Alex and Rhem had come
through in keeping with expectation.
Wee Willie might have stuck to the
| job of being handy, but when they
blew up he handled himself right
into the role of the saviour of the
| team.
Without Sherdel the Cardinals
would be almost as lost as the Giants
would be without Larry Benton
Perhaps more SO bebcause McGraN
banked on Benton coming through
and he did Nothing much was de
manded of Sherdel but he came
through with everything.

turned the three quarter pole for TIN
final desperate sprint, Sherdel hat
won Is out of 81 games; Alex had
won 10 out of 10; Rhem had wor
10 out OF Is and Haines had won Il
out of 1s.
In giving some kind Of LITTLE
hand to Sherdel for his valiant WORT
as the handy man the historic
speech of Colonel Rupert might b.
used as a form.
After the Yankees had won thei
first pennant, the colonel was call
ed upon at celebration dinner TO-
a speech and he said, briefly ant

TIM MIX IN FINE
 PICTURE AT LIBERTY

Tom Mix, the movie-made million aire, rose in very few years from a common cowboy, riding the ranges, to one of the wealthiest and most popu- lar movie stars
 His wealth did not come entirely from fabulous salaries, which stars re- ceive, but also from shrewd business sense in taking advantage of money making opportunities First hired as an expert horseman and stunt man in the movies he immediately saw the need of good horses and horsemen to be available at a moments notice to take their places before the camera, so he gradually acquired string of cOW-horses and bucking bronchoes, renting them to the different studios at good prices. This was the start of his breeding fine horses and cattle and acquiring the beautiful mansion in Beverly Hills, has many servants, in cluding French maid for his daugh- ter.
