Injury To Riach
 Dulls Edge Of CieSlewski Win

Just what would have taken place Saturday afternoon in the final match of the Chase Park Tennis tournament If Gordon Riach leading Henry CieSlcwski of Nauga- tuck three games to two in the fourth set and forty-fifteen on his own service, had not pulled up with Q charley-horSe is now a matter Of conjecture. A ten minute rest, dur- Ing which time RiachS leg was inassaged, did 1t little or no good and the last four games were mere formalitieS which the East End star went through on one leg so there would be no default" stigma at- tached to the winning of the Daniel J. Leary trophy by his Naugatuck rival
 Fine Start
 In the first set. which Riach won at 6-2 in less than twenty minutes. he made more than twenty place. ments, giving the gallery of some 300 persons an exhibition of shot- making and control, the like of which had not been seen on local courts in some years. He held the edge in the second set until the ninth game when he faltered for the first time and lost his service, when leading at 6-3, by missing two 'sitters" at the net with Cieslewski having been drawn well out of DO. sition.
 The Naugatuck star held service then to make 1t five games all. The score remained even then, with both men losing service games bad ly until the fifteenth game when Cieslewski held on and broke through Riach's to win the set at 9-7
 The third set was all Cieslewski's. Riach having lost his touch ccm- pletely. After the intermission the match again took on the tempo of the first set, with Riach in com- mand.
 Hurt Himself
 In the sixth game. leading at 30- IS, Riach came up to the net un- der 8 deep, forcing forehand drive to the backhand corner. He vol- leyed Cieslewski's return deep to the forehand and on the next shot, a drive down the backhand line by Cieslewski, he lunged far to his left to drop the ball just over the net for a placement. But in doing so he injured himself and the match was finished then and there
 The gallery was keenly disap- pointed, for most of the spectators were conceding the set to Riach and getting ready for a fifth sci which doubtlessly would have been a nail-hiter of the first order. But such was not the case and when the tennis final of the city tourna- { ment rolls around and these two men meet. if one of them doesn't lose an arm. we feel that one of the best matches ever seen in the city will Dc unfolded before our eyes.

 Worthless !; Hills Lose
By JOHN A. CLUNEY


 There's always a first time, and usually in the sports world, things are little different from a competi- tive viewpoint, than in many other fields of endeavor. So 1t Is, that the north end was a little noiSier yes- terday than on ordinary Sunday evenings, as the boys from Spen- cer av enue to Lakewood celebrated the first City Amateur league base- ball championship won by a North End Thomas club team. The club, named for the late Tommy Car rideo, and promulgated for several years afterward by his brother Lefty" had for one of it's fondest hopes the winning of @ local base- ball championship. And, as Fate would have 1t, neither Tommy nor Lefty" were here to see their rep- resentatives convincingly settle the 1887 baseball issue yesterday after noon at Hamilton park with a 3 to 2 win over the Sacred Hearts, second heaviest hitting team in the league who were able to get but three sin- gles of Mandy Green, the eaSy- working Thomaston athletic direc- tor and former Harvard athlete.
 Bad Base Running
 The defeat of the Hearts in such simple fashion, plus some base running that mus thave been copied from the Daffy Dodgers, made the month long mi%up involving the protest on Al Jarlett look quite silly, now that the protested game Is worth exactly nothing, even If 1t was won by the Hearts, which Is doubtful. The fact remains that the Tommies have lost but one game in i03 starts, and that to the Wash- ington Hills, the second place team that was shut out, 70, by the Tri-
