 IIUgHins was taken to tho hospi- tai last Friday when he developed &n infection growing out of an at tack of influenza and crysipelas. So serious did his condition become yesterday that Dr.. Edward II, King, Yankee club physician, after q con- sultation with specialists, decided on T blood transtusiOn.
 There was little change in the little Yankee chicftain's condition for the first few hours after the tansfusion. Then at 1o:3o o'clock last night, Dr. King issued a bulle- iil which indicated that his condl- lion had not shown any improve mont The physician, after an Hounctne his patients temperature had risen from 1o4 to 1o5 degrees, said his condition was ''stll crti- cal"

Sunday afternoon at Memorial Field in Willow Brook park, the Nutmeg football team of this city is scheduled to meet the stiffest op- position it has yet encountered this season when the Newark Bears. one of the leading professional elevens in the eastern part of the country, invade this city for the weekly game.
 The Nutmegs have built up a powerful following as a result of its two victories in the Eastern Pro- fessional league. The Ockfords of New London went down before the smashing attack of the locals a week ago last Sunday by the score of 40 to 0 while the Hardware City crew went through strong New Haven defense in the Williams game last Sunday and took a victory by the score of 13 to c.
 The Newark team has an aggre- gation of former college stars that, on paper, is imposing. The names contained in the teams roster give followers of the local crew 8 feel ing that hard game is in prospect for the Nutmcgs

LITTLE SERIES EVEN
Rochester and Kansas City Blues Square Away Today For Seventh Game of Play-On.

Rochester, N. Y, Oct. 10 UP)- Rochester and Kansas City squared away today for the seventh game Of the little world series, with each team needing only two victories for the Junior world series title"
 Paul Derringer's effective twirl- Ing Wednesday allowed the Red Wings to even the series at three triumphs each and gave the Intcrna- tional league nine an even chance to win the series. Previous to We'd nesdays game Rochester's only vic tories had resulted from the air tight twirling of Tex Carleton.
 Manager Dutch Zwilling of the Blues indicated that he might start Lynn Nelson, young right handler, in Thursdays game, while Roches- ter's pitching selection was still in doubt.
 "Murry deserved to win yester- day" Zwilling declared, but Knothe's error and Gerkins tough break on Felix's fly cost him the game"
 Murray held Rochester to three hits in seven innings while his mates found Dcrringer for seven. but lost the decision, 1 to 2. when Knothe's boot let in two runs in the first and Gerkin's stumble allowed Felix to stretch single into triple in the sixth.

POOR PITCHING

 Strategy for Cubs DabacIe
BY MORDEChI BROWN GFamous Pitcher of the Old Chicago Cham piOnShin Cubs.)

NillNhSS U NiittlIl i'Aoll9iIit y N|hbo.j
 Chicago, Oct. 10 E>-They don't play the game the way we used to play it. Maybe they are better, but after watching the Athletics beat the Cubs in the second game of the ser ies, I don't know whether l know baseball or not.
 The game was decided by Foxx's home run, but. before that happen cd Cochrane made hit that might have been prevented by careful pitching, and Simmons walked when there was no real reason for pass ing him. There were two out and Simmons looked fairly easy-and yet was given base on balls. I thought Malone pitched badly to Foxx and allowed him to hit a fast ball over the wall.
 Nothing else counted much. but the Cubs seemed to lose their fight and hustle after they smashed up in the fourth inning.
 I don't know, but it seemed to me Malone might have pitched a better game had he been permitted to use his own judgment regarding batters, and l am sure that the umpire on balls and strike was tough on all the pitchers-not that it affected the result, but it might have done so.
 The Cubs, my old team, looked bad-Gnd looked worse all through the game than they really are. The Athletics look as if they have the jump on them, just as they did 19 years ago I'm still hoping, but not as cheerfully as before the series started.

 A woman was at the head of the line She was Mrs. J. Franklin Kratz and she pointed to a dwelling oppo- site the bleacher gate as her home, From there she had carried the equipment to make her comfortable during the long vigil-a rocking chair, sandwiches, hot coffee and blankets.
 Directly behind her was William Tcnnyson, first Da3eman on a local semi professional baseball team, and next in line were William Bell and Dominic Pate. There were about a dozen persons in the line, most Of whom had taken up their places shortly after midnight.
 The men brought along large sup plies of sandwiches and Jugs or Wa ter, and Tcnnyson brought an iron ing board for bed. The others planned to take their maps on soap boxes. Most of them had pillows and blankets.

Having conquered ! Root and Malone in straight games in the western campaign, the con-
 fdent young Maclunen were in no doubt as to their ability to repeat the performance in the friendly trenches Of Shibe park.
 A survey of the Chicago pitching situation seemed to augur that Jo- seph McCarthvs logical ccur2c must be to toss these same two young men back at the Athletics. Although handicapped by English's two CT TOTS in the ninth inning of the opening game, Guy Bush still failed to convince the assembled popuIcoo that he had recovered from \. blind stagGcrs he suffered toward the close of the National league campaign. He remains, however, possibility for the Philadelphia opener.
 The auxiliary managers of the Athletics continued today 10 favor John Picus Quinn to pitch the third game. Quinn himself was so worked ID over the situation that last night he sat up an hour later than usual with his cross word puzzles.
 Connie Mack was so alarmed over his prospects after two vic tories over the Cubs that he sat in the lounge of the observation car in d flaming bee. until long past his regular bedtime. After the crush of two days in the vortex of a world series battle Mack seemed genuinely glad to bc safe from the crowd. In the interchange of con- versation which adhered strictly to games long past he made several interesting revelations.

The first and second teams of the New Britain high school football squad engaged in a furious scrim- mage at the Willow Brook park practice field yesterday afternoon and when darkness brought the struggle to an end the scrubs had held the first team without scora.
 The regulars were always threat ening and at one time during the scrimmage they had the ball on the one-foot line, but the scrubs showed power and held the heavier first team. The first eleven Was handicapped considerably by three fumbles two of which were madt by Al Middleton.
 With the exception of two minor injuries the entire squad is in fine physical condition, Coach George M. Cassidy said today. The two quar- terbacks, Ross. who is suffering I slight knee ailment and Zaleski who is bothered with ankle injur- ies are the only men on the list, but neither of them are hurt enough to keep them out of the scrimmage or the game with PittH- field High school team Saturday. Coach Cassidy is not satisfied with the teams offense as yet but he is happy to see the manner in which the eleven is coming along in tltis respect. In the opening practice game against the New Britain Blues 1 the team made only one first down, but against Bridgeport Central High school the Red and Gold eleven made 13.

who is nearly as broad as he is long, on bases. The Cubs gained consider able satisfaction as they travelled to- day thinking of Bill Dnueen, an um- riYe in the series. Bill won three games for the Boston Red Sox in lJu&. The Cubs are not particular Iy interested in the past perform ances Of Pitcher Dinrccn but the his tory of that carly series gives them hope. In that day the series went 10 five game decisions and Pitts burgh won three of the first four games, Boston came back to win four straight and the series.
 Ponder Over Chances
 The Cubs reason. If d team like the Boston Red SoN could do such a thing 2G years ago. we ought to be able to win two, three, or even four hand running now.' As they look at the pOrtly Bill them seem to be thinking. and with that old guy pitching" The younger Cubs may have 10 be reminded that Dinneen, the pitcher, and Dnnecn, the umpire, are two entirely different personali- ties, and that the Red Sox today are not the Red SoX of yesterday.
 The Athletics ponder in a differ ent vein as they move homeward. Say they The Yankees won four straight from two National league clubs in two straight years. We beat the Yankees so why can't we do half of it in one year"
 The As are in the better position They have won half of their world series quota. while the Cubs have not yet started.

M'LARNIN SCORES KAYO
Young Irishman From Vancouver Makes Impressive Debut in Vel
 terWeight Ranks.

New York, Oct. 10 P}-Jimmy McLarnin has learned that the big fellows can fall just as hard as the little ones, if they are hit on the right spot. The young 1rishman from Vancouver made his debut as wei terWeight last night and his punch produced the same result against Sergeant Sammy Baker as it did against Jimmy's opponents in three lighter classes. The result was 8 first round knockout.
 Baker, leading contender in the class not long ago and still the pos sessor of a good hard wallop, never had chance against Jimmy's slug ging. It took one minute for Mc- LaInin to establish firm connec- tion between his right fist and Bak- CTS head. There was very little left of the fight after that. The New York veteran went down for a count of nine only few seconds later when Jimmy slammed him for the second time and arose just to take final blow from Jimmy's right that ended the battle in two minutes Of the first round.
