Timely hitting. coupled with bases on balls and cratic fielding by it's opponents gave the Holy Cross teaa a 13 to victory over the St. Cyril team, Of Hartford, at the Washing ton school grounds yesterday after noon. The local club so completely outclassed the Capital City outfit that it was never in danger.
 The defensive work of the Holy Cross team was of such brand that that team could have held . much stronger club under control and this against . weak organization made the game one-sided. After the wIn- ners had scored six times when the Hartford teams defense crumbled in the second inning it was only matter of how bad the visitors would be beaten.

Abramowicz twirled the eighth in- ming for the Holy Cross outfit and although inexperienced had no trou- ble in holding the losers to single run, this coming as the result of a wild throw by one of his mates.
 Neither team scored in the first inning but in the second the home team went wild. With one out Tronski singled and came home when Wendroski drove a triple to deep right. The latter came home a moment later on wild pitch.
 Zembko then drew a pass. Dai- l1owski went out on an infleld pop but Grail singled. This hit scored ZembSo who went to second un- mclested and reached third on a wild pitch. Zapatka walked, moving Grail up . base. Salak grounded to second but r. Pietrycka erred al- lowing Grail to count and Zapatka to reach third.
 kopec drew a pass and Gredar singled scoring zapatka and sala'S. Tronski finished the inning by grounding out.
 In the next frame the visitors scored their irst run on an error and two singles. They did not count again until the eighth when after two were out kopec heaved wild to third and allowed Yedxnial to reg ister after he had walked and moved to third on | single.
