school grounds in Oakville was fit
tingly dedicated last evening with
impressive ceremonies and close
encounter between the Davies of
that burg and Putsic Friars of this
city, the home club chalking up a

five hits, having but one bad in
ming, the fifth, when the Y boys
pushed across all their markers.
The Davies started off like cham
pions and registered three runs in
the opening frame on three hits
and two errors. The deciding run
was netted in the third on an err
ror. a stolen base and single to
left.
Leo Orsini, rolly-poly manager
of the victors. threw out the first
ball to Rocco Mara, mayoralty
candidate of the vile to start the
ceremonies, but the pellet has yet
to be found, despite frantic search
es in the lot adjoining the field.

SCRIBES BOW TO
OLD TIMERS 9-S

A. strong rally in the last two in
nings brought the Chase Old
Timers from behind to cop the
first OF three game series with
scribes at the Fulton Park dia-
mond last night. The score was
0 to 8 and the game provided
enough thrills to satisfy Dig
crowd Of rooters. frankie Gill
hooley stood the Chase team on It's
head for FIVE innings allowing only
four hits and two runs. Going into
the sixth inning the Old Timers
solved Franks delivery and raped
out seven straight hits to put a.
cross five runs tying the score a.
seven all. Frank came to bat In
the seventh. and socked a triple
and scored on Wrenn's single. The
Old Timers came through In the
seventh on two hits and error to
win the game. Frank Delaney
pitching for the Old Timers kept
the Scribes hits we'll scatterd while
Paddy Shea's home, Paddy Whis-
toms triple and George Stenstack-

naugh tripied for the Scribes and
played a sensational game in right

With First Place at
Stake


New Britain, July 20-First
place in the American Legion
state baseball league will be at
stake tonight when the New
Brittany and Bridgeport teams
clash in Bridgeport. The contest
is scheduled at o'clock at the
Seaside park diamond. Both clubs
are tied for first place and a win
for either of them will put 1t In
the commanding position for the
state pennant and the privilege Of
representing Connecticut in the re-
gionals next month.
The New Britain squad left the
city at q o'clock this afternoon.
Coach Larry Mangan hasn't de-
cided on his pitcher for the game.
He has either Henry Parsons, who
has scored both victories in the
state league for the locals, or
Buster" Cox, whose work in the
district league was brilliant.
Both teams appear to be evenly
matched, although the Park City
outfit has been given a slight edge
in pre-game predictions.
Both New Britain and Bridge
port are former state champions.

Moore Says Park Board
MAY Find a Way to
Keep Games Going

A fifteen-cent collection from
about 800 people a week ago SUM
day at Washington park and
grand total OF $3.50 at three parks
last Sunday has put the Waterbury
Baseball Federation ION the spot"
financially, President Arthur j.
Lunny stated this morning. How.
ever, there Is o ray of hope shining
out of the threatening financial
sky. 1t is the municipal parks
board, who may be asked soon II
there il something that they can
do to relieve the situation.
Hope
Secretary Tom Moore thinks the
board may find q way. This
morning, he had not heard of the
financial situation in the league nor
that the park department may be
asked to help, but said he was of
the-Opinion that the commissioners
would do what they could to keep
baseball in the public parks alive
this season.
At a meeting of managers Of
the Federation last night, the fl
nancial situation was gone over
once more, directly following the
treasurer's report that $3.50 was
added to the league treasury last
Sunday. 1t costs the organization
$21 q Sunday to put on its games.
and for the last several Sundays
there has BEEN a marked shortage
when 1t came time to pay for the
umpiring and baseballs used.
Possibility
It Is expected that the park de-
vised OF the situation, may sane
ton a donation of baseballs each
week or by a financial contribute
ton to the federation that will
at least make 1t a bit easier for
the double league to meet Its $21
a week expense.
At last nights meeting two pro-
tests of games filed by the Boys
Club Cadets were thrown out, and
managers told to further caution
their players on arguments with
umpires in regard to decisions. In
the meantime, jumps may be asked
to donate their services for few
games until the financial situation
In the federation is Strengthened

Although the division Of three

It's true that Owner c. V. (Son-
n.y. Whitney and Trainer Fred
Hopkins are keeping him around
Chicago now for the Arlington
handicap. After that, their plans
will send him east to Saratoga,
perhaps back to Hawthorne. then
east again to Havre de Grace, to
Belmont, to Bowie and to Laurel.
A stake or two will be waiting for
him at each OF those racing strips.
"We'll win 'em, even IL the
handicappers stick ton Of lead
in my saddle" Equipoise will tell
you.
"That's right" Trainer Hopkins
will say. HE can win EN-, all of
them. II he wins only some of
, them, he will beat Sun Beau's
world money winning record"
There seems to be some truth IN
that, too. Equipoise galloped OFF
with $156.835 in winnings during
his two-year-old campaign. Last
year was a blank, but In piling up
seven straight victories this season,
he has boosted his total to some
thing over $228,O0O. This figure
puts the whitney ace among the
dozen highest American money
winners.
sun Beau's cash record stands al
$376,744. A valuation of $64,00O
was placed on the cups that he
won, making his actual earnings

Many times when the ball is ly-
ing well In the fairway and maxi
mum distance Is desired, the tee
stroke Is the one to use, hitting
the ball squarely. But when the
lie Ii close, or a controlled shot
with little run Is desired. the stroke
should approach more nearly that
of the iron.
A common mistake of the duffer
when using the wood club through
the fairway Is an attempt to lift
the ball by directing the blow up
ward. Remember what has been
said about iron play-to get the
ball up hit down on the shot. This
also applies to the wood when the
lie is close.
The loft of the club, plus the
backspin impaired to the ball by
the downward blow. plus speed will
give the ball its rise.
OF course the strike should not
be as abrupt az that user in play
ing mashie or mashie -niblick.
The brassie shot rarely takes a
divot; II only strips the grass from
the sod beginnings at a point slight
