 The City league batters certainly clouted the pill hard in Saturdays game. No less than six home runs were registered together with numer- ous triples.
 After three successive defeats at the hands of the Holy Cross team, the Pirates took terrible revenge by lacing out an Is to victory. The Parish team never knew what hit it.
 The Corsairs, after hitting all average of but five hits in the first half of the schedule, are now clout- ing the ball as their victories over the Holy Cross and Sokols testify.
 It is regrettable that the Sokol- West End game ended in an argu ment that caused Umpire Crowley to forfeit the game to the Polish az gregatien. Trailing by Is runs with an inning to be played, it is hard 10 see why Campbell of the West Ends was so persistent in his arguments.
 At the present time an epidemic of sore arms seems to have hit the pitchers in this city Last week "Huggy" Carlson Of the Gascos was found to have two small bones in his shoulders dislocated which caused him considerable pain in his pitching arm.
 Ernie" Anderson of the Machine Shop nine. a good pitcher is repot ed through for the season with q sore arm. Reports from the camps of Landers and Fafnirs indicate that both Huber and Longmore have found that the old soup bone is not what it ought to be.
 Bruno" Kanis of the Burritts in the City league is also having trouble of late with sore arm. On top of this sore arm epidemic among pitchers, many infelders and outf elders are in poor shape.
 The long awaited battle will take place tomorrow evening at 5;30 o'clock on Diamond No. at Walnut Hill park when the Corbin and Stanley Rule aggregations come to grips.
 The game will have a very inn portant bearing on the Industrial championship and may possibly set tie the title. The Patrusmen are leading the league with ten victories and two losses while the Rulers have won seven and lost three.
 The Rulers are pinning their hopes on the sturdy arm of Spen- cer, their new pitching find. He has yet to be beaten in a league game,
 Jaglowski, Corbin mainstay, will undoubtedly oppose him in the box. Patrus also has Gray and Gergeron ready for mound duty while Casey and Wolfe are the Stanley Rule eX- tra ,moundsmen.
 Spencer is known for his fast ball and many predict that the heavy hitting Corbin team will find his shoots to their liking. This, how ever, remains to be seen.
 The Rulers showed that they are no mean hitters themselves in the game last Friday with the strong Gascos. With Noonan holding Spen- cer, the Stanley team looks very good.
 It is expected that the park will be damned with fans when the opening ball is pitched. Fafnirs and the Machine Shop will meet on Dia- mond No. l.
 This evening at 5:30 o'clock at Walnut Hill park, Fafnirs and Stanley Works will clash in a post poned game on Diamond No. l.
 Tomorrow evening the Gascos and Stanley Works will meet in a post poned contest at Willow Brook park.
 New Britain boys are to be found playing ball in all sections of the state. The Deep River league and Bristol City league contains the names of many local Industrial and City league players.
 Rumors have it that Pechuk, star the Meriden police department and will do the hurling against the To- cal bluecoats in the annual two- game series.
 If this is so. the coppers are go- ing to find themselves up against tough proposition, Pechuk has demonstrated his worth on numer- ous occasions while pitching for kensington against local semi-pro teams.
 Steve Dujack scoffs at the fans who have noticed that he has not secured hit in the last three games. The veteran states that he will get another safe blow if he has to pick a slow ball out Of the air and throw it out of the field. Steve plays the game as it should be played and unlike many youngsters is not always worrying about his batting average.
