 EASY WIN OVER FALCONS
Game Is Devoid of Action From Beginning to End Lefty" Buckland in Great Form and Allows But Four Hits-Final Score Is 6 to 1-Polish Organiza- ton Appears to Be Washed Out-Billy Yankaskas Is Batting Hero of the Day-Meet Hghwood Cubs Sunday.

In | slow and uninterestinx game that was devoid of action from be- ginning to end, the Corbin Red Sox nine scored an easy to l victory over the Falcon team at St. Mary's field yesterday afternoon in the Arst |intra-city battle of the season. The majority of the players on both az gregations acted sluggish. due to the torrid sun that blaxed on the Held throughout the game. The Falcons, however, appeared washed out and the Corbin team had little trouble in taking the verdict. The Red Sox played great ball in the pinches.
 Lefty" Buckland was on the mound for the Tobin men and was in great form He allowed the Fal- con batters but four hits and out side of the first and seventh in- nings was never in real danger. The Hartford twirler was opposed by the Falcon ace. Longmore. Longmore. however, appeared to be away off form and the Corbin batters found his slants often. especially with men on the bags. The Red Sox finally drove him from the box in the seventh and he was succeeded by Lefty" Huber. This is the first time in two years that Longmore failed to finish a game he started for the Falcons.
 Despite the heat. the Corbin team played great ball in the field and accorded Buckland wonderful sup port. The inAeld work of the Red Sox left nothing to be desired, two fast double plays beinl executed. Buchcri, former Falcon, took care of short for the Tobin men and put up great game. He accepted eight out of nine chances. Buggy" Fitz- patrick and Fields also played good defensive games.
 Lefty" Huber and "Chucky" Wo- jack were the best bets for the Fal- cons. playing strong games. Noonan was a tower of strength behind the bat and his constant chatter gave the Falcons whatever pep they showed. He also drove in the lone Falcon tally.
 Batting honors for the day went to Billy" Yankaskas Coming to bat twice with two men on, Yankas- kas came through with hits to drive in four runs. Fields and Bergeron also hit hard. The four Falcon hits were divided between four men.
