 ON IN EASTERN
Hartford and PittSfeld Clubs
 Withdraw From Circuit

Springfield, Mass, July 1 (P- With the withdrawals of the Pitts field and Hartford clubs, the East orn Baseball league will open the second half of the season tomorrow with a siN-team circuit. The Allen town, Pa, team has won the pen nant for the first half,
 Allentown went into first place by ninth inning victory against bridgeport yesterday and took a full game lead over the New Haven team. The Pennsylvania team does not play today and New Haven has a single game, which will not per init them 10 overtake Allentown.
 Financial difficulties were given the reason for the withdrawals by President William F. Carey of the league, which were announced at a special meeting of the board of dT- rectors here last night. The Pitts field Hartford game scheduled for today was cancelled.
 The remaining teams are Spring field, Albany New Haven, Bridge port, Providence and Allentown. Hartford was in sixth and Pittsfeld in last place.
 The advisability of turning to night baseball to increase atten- dance was discussed by the directors and all owners of teams were re- ported in favor of the plan. Two representatives of lighting con- panies gave estimates on the cost of installing flood lights for night games
 It was announced that the sched- Ule for the second half, just re- leased, would be redrafted immcdi- atoly.
 The New England Baseball league discontinued games for the re- mainder of the season on June 22, with the poor drawing power of the clubs blamed for suspension of play.

 REPUBLICAN TEAM
Irusk and Folden Engage in
 Nice Pitchers Battle
League Standing

Despite the fact that Trusk, star pitcher for the Republican A C. team in the Junior City league, had the edge on Lefty" Folden, SeQuin twirler. Trusk' s mates failed to give him the support he needed in the pinches with the result that the Re- publicans went down to q 5 to 3 de- feat at the hands of the league lead CTS at Walnut Hill park last night,
 Trusk and Folden engaged in sweet pitchers battle. The losing twirler famed fl batters while Fold en sent 12 back to the bench via the strike-out route and each allowed three bases on balls. The two pitch CTS were touched up for five hits each.
 The sequins made four of their runs in the first four innings They scored two in the first frame and two again in the second although they got only one hit in each session. Four errors in the opening inning by the Republicans and an error and a passed ball coupled with a single. accounted for the entire quartet of runs. They added another in the i sixth on 8 hit, two pass balls and an l infeld out.
 l The Republicans made a great bid 1 to tie the count in the fifth inning. the only session in which they were i able to cross the plate, They fell two short of their object and couldn't produce the punch to score any more ! during the game.
 The sequin team went partly to | pieces in this session. Three errors paved the way for three runs with only one hit being registered.
 Hultberg was the big hitter Of the i game. He slapped out a triple on his first trip to the plate and got q single. He scored two runs. Eighty Folden turned in the field ing feature when he pulled down a hard drive in left field that would surely have gone for a home run.

New Britain herald., 1930-07-01
League Standing

Tonight at 5:30 o'clock at Walnut Hill park, the P. & F. Corbin base- ball team, leader in the Industrial baseball league. will face tha strengthened and thoroughly alive Fafnir Bearing team on Diamond No. 1. Those close to the ground in Industrial league matters, are anti cipating one of the most bitter bat ties of the season when these two gladiators meet.
 There will be only one of the two games scheduled played tonight be- cause the Landers-Stanley Rule con- test carded for Diamond No. 2, has been postponed. This has been oc- casioned by the fact that the Lan- ders factory has shut down for this week and this has scattered tho players on the baseball team. The game might not be played for some time due to the fact that Stanley Rule may shut down a little later in the season.
 However, the one scrap between two of the strongest teams in the circuit, should be enough to bring out every Industrial league fan to- night. The Corbin team has devel- oped one of the strongest followings in years because of the teams ef- forts to cop the championship.
 Tonight the ace pitchers Of ths two teams will most probably facs each other. Corbins will probably use Jagloski while Fafnirs will trot out Lefty Haber. This indicates a pitchers battle also.
 Games on Thursday
 Two games are scheduled Thurs day. Stanley Works will meet New Britain Machine on Diamond No. I while the Corbins and Gascos will battle it out on Diamond No. ..
 Tonieht's game will start prompt | ly at 5:30 o'clock.

RUTH MAY BREAK
 HOME RUN RECORD
Bambino Says He'll Keep Hit ting if He Gets the Pitching

New York, July 1 (UP)-'1f they keep pitching to me I'll break my home run record easy" Babe Ruth told the United Press today.
 This hot weather is just what l like, and I'll keep busting 'em as long as they keep getting 'em any where near the plate.'
 With IS homers during June, Ruth had a total of 80 today and was 12 days and 12 games ahead of 1927 schedule, the year in which he made his record of sixty
 In only one month, September, 1927, since he started hitting homers as a pitcher with the Boston Red sox in 1915, has Ruth ever made more than IS circuit drives in a single month. He hit r in the last month of 1927 to break his 1921 rec ord of 59 by the margin of one homer.
 Ruth did not hit No. 30 in 1927 until July 12 and No. 31 did not come until July "A If Ruth con tinues his present pace, he can tie his record in his 134th game. and still have 20 games left in which to create a new record
 Ruth is now ahead or tied with his schedule in every year. In 1928 he ended the month of June with 30 homers, but slumped in August and closed the year with 54.
 Ruth's 30th homer was made of Al Thomas, Chicago White Sox right handler, in the 7th inning yesterday with two mates on base. The drive travelled far into the right field bleachers. Ruth has always liked to bat against Thomas. and when he came to bat after Thomas had re- heved Brayton, Babe yelled:
 Get it in here now, Cuz (cousin) and I'll show you No. 30." A comparison of his 1930 and 1 1927 schedules follows:

 Although the Robins have yielded the National league leadership to the Chicago Cubs, Uncle Robbie said he was confident his club would remain in the pennant scramble all season.
 I've been hearing and reading for many weeks that we're due to crack sooner or iater," Robinson said, but the fellows who are picking us 10 flop better watch their own teams.
