PILLS WIN OFTENER

l Y i lies using an entirely diff
ferent system this season,
and they are getting surprisingly
good results.
Last year the Phils went in for
bushels of hits, including doubles,
triples and homers, but they didn't
score in proportion. The result
was that they led the National
League in hitting and were a
strong eighth in the final club
standing.
This year. however. Shotton has his
boys going at it differently. With such
sluggers as Lefty ODoul and Fresco
Thompson gone, the 1881 Phils are not
getting as many hits. but they are get
ting them where they count. leaving
fewer men on base and winning more
ball games.
For instance. they collected only I'VE
hits yesterday, but they cut OF the
eight-game winning streak Of the st.

the score in the sixth inning. Then
Big Buzz Arlett got on second and Les
Mallon, rookie fnflelder. brought him
in with a lusty double. With Phil Col
Inns turning the Cards back round after
round, that was all the Phillies needed
Wild Bill Hallahan was the victim Of
the winners concerted attack.
Their loss to the Shottonmen reduced
the Cardinals lead over the New York
Giants to single game.
Cold weather at New York kept the
Giants and Chicago Cubs indoors and
gave Manager Rogers Hornsby of the
Western team an opportunity to specu-
late on what had happened to his hit
tiers. He admitted that being held to
eight hits in Two games with the Giants
was bad business. but denied a rumor
that he planned to bench Hack Wilson,
the hard-hitting outfelder.
Drawing the chill winds on the oppo-
site bank of the East River, the Pitts
burgh Pirates and Brooklyn Robins got
in the days only other National League

down with five hits to give the Pirates
their second straight victory, to 2.

day, lacing Bob Groom for 40
hits good for "a bases. Bob Groom
was in the box all the way for the
Nationals, because Manager Jimmy
McAleer had no one to replace him,
the team being in desperate straits
for pitchers.
Chicago was not the only club by
any means to clout the ball yester-
day, total of l26 runs being made
in both leagues. A writer in The
Star says the heavy sticking proves
that the ball now being used is de-
cidedly heavier than in many years
and believes that those in charge of
the game might have done it great
injury by introducing a livelier
horsehide. The writer believes that
pitching duels with not great deal
of hitting are more attractive to
the fans than smuggling orgies.
Lang or Walsh was to pitch for
the White SoX today with Dolly Gray

 SHOW THURSDAY
Lively Card on Tap at Wa terbury Arena-Under- card Strong With Lar- rivee-Ketchel on Top

Action will be the password that will inaugurate the new Waterbury Arenas bill of boxing Thursday night to take place in the old Armory on Phoenix avenue. Right from top to bottom, there are boys matched ur who regard the science of boxing rather lightly in com parison to a few solid smashes to the jaw or mid-section. Therefore, with Leo Larrivee and Steve Ketchel of Boston in the main go, there should be plenty of worth while fistic entertainment.
 Second Time
 Larrivee and Ketchell are no strangers, for they put on a leather party up Boston way year or so ago. Both have supposed to materially improved in their ring work since that time, when the To- cal boy won the decision. Now they meet again ready to punch it out to K.O.
 Before the principal event there Ao PASAsJ " "ACI shC APpCNltC o4 the most exacting fan and, Homer, there are some exa cting ones. Willie Bush, the black boy who stepped in at three hours mo- tice to beat Bob Olin, who, in turn beat Al Gainer in their first con- test, hooks up with Leo Mitchell of Kansas City. Leo is the gent who f1attened Buddy Howard year or so ago in New Haven, only to have the bell save the Elm City blonde. Both these boys are sluggers.
 Ambitious Lads
 Connie Mello, who pulled a Hou- dini from these parts since his las. defeats around here will be back for work with Ernie Sims of Naugatuck, and you can be sure he will have both hands full trying to slave off the promising Ernest who is coming along fistically like the proverbial house afire. Joe Vignaii of Town Plot and Sal Carter of Middletown will mix it in six round go that will provide that good old slam bang stuff that the old-timers like to see. Joe Arnold the Brooklyn boy and K. o. Jim Sweeney of Torrington open the show in four spot.
