Should Waterbury ever face the situation now current in Rhode Island, the police department here is ell-equipped to cope with it.. A visit to the arsenal at police headquarters reveals special equip ment and ammunition which would enable the local bluecoats to handle almost any type of gen. eral disorder which could conceiv- ably arise.
 Local police of course, are not expecting any such strike trouble here as that which racked the city more than a decade ago and which is now being fought in Pawtucke., Saylesville and other towns. But, on the other hand, they believe in preparedness and for this reason, riot and emergency equipment is always kept in the best of order.

HOLDS GOOD LINE
ON n. |. H|TTERS
Critic Thinks Classic Has
Been Given Too Much
Griff Atmosphere.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

OHICAGO, July 10.-It seems
to me that the American
Y League could have profit
- ed in the all-star game
at the Polo Grounds today had
some one in authority whispered
to Joe Cronin that an old party
named Rogers Hornsby would
be a darned good fellow to have
for coach.
Cronin chose Walter johnson and
AL Schacht to coach the American
League squad and while both are ad-
mirable fellows and smart baseball
men, 1 contend Hornsby would have
been more valuable. Hornsby played
in the National for years and years
and knows the strength and weakness
Of every National League player.
Hornsby on the American League
squad would have been Of vital assist
ance to pitchers throwing against such
batters as Terry, Klein, OFT and the
other sluggers. His knowledge would
be based upon years of experience and
not hearsay or casual observation.
also believe Cronin gave the
American League team just a bit too
much Washington atmosphere. Cro-
min and Heinie ManuSh will be active
| participants in the game; johnson Is
former Washington manager and
Schacht is actively employed as a
| Washington coach. The Washington
trainer also is included in the Amer
ican League group.
Big Train Is Approved
| COLLECTION of Walter johnson as
ID one Of the coaches was quite
proper. for the Big Train is one
Of the grand characters of base ball
and has been identified with Ameri-
can League teams for more than Is
years. But I think Cronin erred In
his selection Of Schacht and, mind
you, I think AL is great fellow and
coach. But it would have gone bet
ter with the fans had Cronin picked
Bucky Harris of Boston or Joe Nc
Carthy of New York for the second
coach II he had any objection to
Hornsby, who might have been OBJ
jected to on the grounds that he is
relatively new to the American League.
Harris and Mccarthy both have
proven their greatness as managers
and are veterans around the American
League. They we're due whatever
honor comes from being selected as a
coach in the all-star game.
Thinks Cronin Outguessed.
DILL TERRY picked two excellent
ID coaches in Bill McKechnie Of the
Braves and Casey Stengel OF
Brooklyn. McKechnie was one Of
John McGraw's aides in the first all
star game last year and that was
enough recommendation for Terry.
While Stengel Is one of the Junior
managers Of the National League. that
fact did not deter Terry when he de-
cided old Casey would help the team.
Terry wants to win this years all
star game the worst way and personal
likes will cut no ice with him

THE SPORTLICHT
by GRANTLAND RICE

Mickey Cochrane's gallant stand in
Detroit has found even keener inter-
est than the Tigers of IS years ago
stirred UP when Cobb. Crawford and
Veach made up a pretty fair outheld.
Naming the Best.
THE best infield ever saw on any
one team was McInnis, Collins,
Barry and Baker of the Ath-
letics.
The Chance, Evers, Tinker, Stein
feldt combination of the Cubs was not
so far back, and neither was the Kelly,
Frisch, Bancroft, Groh inield of the
Giants.
And there are old-timers who still
stick by the old Boston delegation,
which carried Tenney, Lowe, Long and
Collins. This latter infield was al
ways the late Bill Hanna's choice
and Bill knew his base ball from the
cellar to the roof.
The best outfield l ever saw
on any one team was made up
of Speaker, Lewis and Hooper of
the Red SOx, with Cobb, Craw-
ford and Veach of the Tigers in
close pursuit. ......
The best pitching staff on any team
worked for the Athletics-their names
being Plank, Bender, Waddell and
Coakley.
Before moving on, another great
outfield was that comprising Sheckard
Hoffman and Schultz of the old Cubs.
If there was better pitching staff
than that of the Athletics just men
toned the award should go to Chesbro,
Philippe, Lever and Tannehill Of the
1902 or 1903 Pirates. They pitched
six shut-outs in one stretch.
The Giant staff consisting of Hub.
bell, Schumacher, FitZsimmons and
Parmelee was nothing to hiss last sea-
Son--ror is 1t this season.
Some of the most effective pitching
ever shown came from Walsh, Altrock
and White of the 1906 White Sox and
from Rudolph, Tyler and James of the
1914 Braves.
