 City League Play
Standing

In a wild and woody game that went thirteen innings before d de- cison could be reached, the Y. M. C. A. baseball combination Saturday scored an Il to 10 victory over the Sequins in the Junior City league. It was the first win for the "1' crew and could be counted in that column only when the Sequns fail ed to score in the last half of the thirteenth frame.
 The score was tied in the fourth inning at three-all It was knotted again in the ninth when the Sequins put one across to bring the count up to six all. The "" team scored three in the first half of the tenth to seemingly tuck the game away in grandmother's wardrobe, but C. Mcligonis threw this lead away by supplanting Fetzko in the box and the Sequins tied the count at nine all. Again the Y. M. c. A. team pushed across a run in the eleventh but the Sequins promptly came back and tied the count at 1O-all Neither team was able to score i'll the twelfth but in the thirteenth F'erony doubled, went to third on 5n infeld out and came home on q wild pitch to score the winning run Time after time the "Y' team | appeared to have the game seweG up but poor base running and poor.

There was no further SCOT ing on the part of the winners until the ninth when three more tallies crossed the plate.
 The Sequins scored their lone counter in the eighth when they showed their only real offensive of the game. Three singles accounted for the tally.
 Ernie klopp, who toed the slab for the Cards, pitched a steady game throughout and was never in danger Five Of the Seneca stickers were set back on strikes. He also led the Cardinal offensive. Joe Potts and Rice starred at the bat for the losers. The summary:

TONY WEST HANDS
 RED SOX BEATING
Norwich POrtSider Blanks Local
 Team by8 to Q Score

Yesterday afternoon the Corbin Red SoX baseball team met it's Waterloo when it stacked up against Tony West, Taftville portsider who was tWlrllng for the J. B. Martin team. West, once noted for his speed, would have had trouble in breaking a, pane of glass with his fast one, but his uncanny ability to keep away from the alley, had the locals helpless. He kept the Tobin- men that way from the beginning to the end. The final score was to 0.
 Tony was never better than he was in this game. He simply made the SoN do what he wanted them to do. Four men reached first. two got as far as second and that's all the locals dld during the entire game.
 Buckland hurled a pretty game for the locals but breaks on waste balls and a couple of squeeze plays, did the trick. Normandin put a squeeze play over on the third strike. With two strikes on a pdt'el' 1t ldheS d lOl or nerve to bunt because the ball has to be fair. Normandin came through. E. Mur- phy pulled the other.
 In the fifth, Bucllland turned in a pretty piece of work. With the bases filled and one run in and one out, he famed Liberty and West to retire the side.
 The Red Sox travel to Stafford Springs next Sunday. The sum- mary:

kensington suffered it's second baseball defeat on the home diamond yesterday when it lost to the crack Colored Giants of New Haven, the final count being four to two.

The locals were held to six hits by Hayes although he was in hole several times the locals were unable to hit safely with men on base. West featured at the bat for the visitors while the work of Lewis at short was exceptionally good. For the locals the home run clout of DeVito's was the only bright spot in the hitting while Darrow's play at third was very good.
 The Giants started the scoring in | the first inning when Jordan singled and went to second on PettiWay' s sacrifice. Lewis then singled and both men advanced a base when Lane walked. Jordan scored on a long fly to right field, They scored again in the second when Mikan mussed up Shoots grounder, Moore popped to Darrow and Darrow threw wild to first trying to double Shoot, who advanced to second and scored on a single by Hayes.

 GOLF OVER WINGED FOOT
Equals His First Days Round of 69 Playoff Against Espinosa - Establishes a Lead of 12 Strokes in Morning Round Opponent Duplicates an Eight at 18th Hole Which Cost Him the Match - bigger Tells Just How the Drama of Play Unfolded.

There was hush as Robbie set himself for the slightly down hill putt which would mean SO much to him If he stroked it into the cup. He had made many longer ones and he had missed many shorter puts in his long career on the links.
 If Hagen had been the actor in stead of Jones, he would have made the stroke look more dramatic by his deliberation. But disdaining all grandstand play, Bobby took one sight at the hole and sent the ball spinning into the cup as though the result meant nothing more than an- other golf match won. It was a grand exhibition of putting art and a demonstration of Jones skill on the greens.

As the result of stinging to 1 defeat handed them by the Car dinals Saturday afternoon, the Senecas are now sole occupants of the cellar berth in the City League. The winners played brilliantly be- hind the superb pitching of klopp.
 Anderson started on the mound for the Scnecas but, troubled with a sore arm, it was seen for at the outset thathe would not last long. He survived the first two sessions mainly through some fine defensive play on the part of his team mates but the storm broke in the third in ming and when the war clouds had cleared at the close of this canto, the Cards had tallied thrice.
 The Seneca portsider was lefted in favor of Potts at the start of the fourth inning and the latter received

Yesterday was horrible one for local teams in general. Where on the weekend previous, the teams had almost all scored victories, the tables were reversed yesterday and all of them, with only few excep- tions, were defeated.
 A peculiar situation has been caused in the City league through the defeat of the Pirates and Bur ritts last Saturday. Three teams are now tied for first place. The West Ends, by beating the Burritts, stepped into a deadlock with the Burr1tts and Pirates for the lead.
 It took 13 innings Saturday for the Y. M. c. A. to defeat the Se- quins in the City Junior league. This was a weird game all around.
 The West Ends waited Saturday until the ninth innings before they started but when they did start, nothing could stop them.

 The card of fights scheduled in Bristol last Saturday night were called off because of the small crowd in attendance. There were, If one counts carelessly, about 100 customers on hand.

The same bouts, if possible, will be carded the next time.
 New Britain fans were certainly not very much interested in the Clinch- Oliver bout. A bus, charter ed to take the fans to Bristol and hack, carried four people, probably five

SOCIALIST FORCES
GAINING IN POWER
Predictions Made BY French Is
Result Of Elections

Paris Feb. I. R-An experiment
in socialist government for the first
time under the Third Republic Is
heing widely predicted for France
during 1929. The situation arises
from the indecisive elections of
last spring and the fact that the
revamped Poincaire cabinet shows
unexpected weakness.
The nearness of negotiations on
the fundamental issues of repara-
tions and Rhineland occupation Is
a fairly safe guarantee that Pre-
mier Poincaire will remain until
some settlement is effected.
The cabinet itself is divided on
several questions, such as the re-
turn of the Jesuits to France and
the organization of the chamber of
deputies.
The opposition. composed Of So
cialists, radicals and republican So
civ lists. has mo clear majority on
any issue. but with the aid OF dis
gruntled and disappointed depu-
tics of other groups is able con.
stantly to menace the. government.
The difficulty with which the
budget was put through and the
significant vote on the increase in
the salaries of members Of parlia-
ment opened the eyes of leaders
of the moderate groups supporting
Poincare to the shaky condition of
the government. Some of them
openly advocate a change a. I'D
ADMINISTRATION with the socialists in
control, SO as to furnish the coun-
try with demonstration of the
real meaning of socialist govern
mcnt.
Anticipating socialist financial
program involving a capital levy,
these leaders believe the experi-
ment with an extremist govern
ment would be short and sufficient
]y instructive to bring about new
grouping Of parties that would fur
nish a. stable majority.
The socialists are conceded the
upper hand in new government
formed by the present opposition
because the radical party is shat
tered and unable TO command the
situation.
