 tory Charge-Erskine Tries to Burn Coat in Cell

when Lieut.. Joseph Bender served the second warrant on him.
 A vagrant and a man charged with breach of peace and drunken ness drew 30 days jail sentence from Judge Gaffney.
 The vagrant, Thomas Stackbower, 43, of Waterbury, was sent to the New Haven county jail with Hugh Erskine, 34, of 68 Pond street, ar- rested for causing disturbance at his home.
 Erskine showed tendency to di- vest himself of his clothing at the local jail. Pros. Atty. Galullo told the court the prisoner was arraign- ed in clothes which police authori- ties furnished him.
 When arrested and placed in a cell, he made attempts to burn his overcoat. The act was discovered in time and the coat taken from him. Later, smoke was emanating from the cell, and the doorman hurried to the prisoners quarters but the clothes were beyond salvage.
 Judge Gaffney discharged two mo- tor vehicle violators, Wilfred Bru- neau, 37, of Frost Bridge, Waterville, charged with operating car while under the influence of liquor, and Orlando Koffo, g, of 145 Granby street, charged with reckless driving.
 In the Bruneau case, Judge Calf ney ordered discharge after he found a reasonable doubt" existed as to the mans condition.
 A defense witness, who is employed at a garage, testified that a drag link would affect the steering me- chanisn, after Motor Patrolman Vim cent Begg told the court that the accused was weaving as he drove his car.
 Defense Atty. John Tobin, in cross-questioning how Officer Begg stopped the accused, drew forth no definite details. Motor Patrolman Begg reiterated that he just stopped the man and that was all to it. De- fense Atty. Tobin tried to bring out the fact that the accused was not in need of assistance.
 In the other case, Moffo was charged with reckless driving, on Dec. 19 when he struck and injured Pasquale Di Maria, of 35 Morton street as the man was crossing Con- gress avenue, near Highland avenue, Thursday night.
 Di Maria said that he was walking on the cinder path, when something like a wind struck him and that he was rendered unconscious. Judge Gaffney declared that no evidence was shown when the driver was reckless, and that the whole affair was hay.
 Ernest Collette, g, of Marion, Conn.,, charged with reckless driv- ing, was fined $25 and costs.

 One Man Team
 Now that 1t has become apparent that the Red Sox aren't going any where in particular this season, old Mike could put on 8 great show if Cronin would give him the green light and let him do his stuff. He has two good acts he performs. One is to pitch the first game of 8 dou- ble header and catch the second one. The other is to play three innings at first base, catch three innings and pitch the last three.
 Despite the fact that he served a term with the St. Louis Cardinals and now is a member of the Red Sox, old Mike is not too well known to major league fans But in the minor leagues he 1S known from coast to coast. At various times he has been voted the most valuable player in the American Association the International league, the Middle Atlantic league, the Western league and the Western Association.
 He might have gone on indefinite. | ly in the minor leagues if the Rec Sox had not been intrigued by tht fact that he won 24 games for Koch. ester last season as a pitcher. The, brought him up and told him tl forget the other eight positions ant stick to pitching. t,7s
 Old Mike never will be anothe, Walter Johnson, but you can safe. ly bet that when he is 45 year. old he still will be playing baseball somewhere at any position ths happens to be open.

C. L. P. Mixed Bowling League
BY LEFTY

The Mixed Scotch Foursome Tournament held last Wednesday night under the sponsorship of the c. L. P. Mixed Bowling League was such a success that participants are demanding another. The commit tee in charge is gratified that all those who played enjoyed them selves and so is planning one more tournament before the season ends. In so far as is practical, the same pairings will be used and handi- caps will be based on Wednesday nights performances.
 c. Aloysius Baxter, the modest meterman, and Rita Tierney, plain ly displaying evidences of having carried 8 heavy burden, took first prize with a low net of 40. "Of course I knew beforehand that Rita and I could beat any other team in that league" said Charlie, "but I played for the exercise"
 "I'm the one that got the exer- cise," interposed Rita, my back is broke from carrying that big lug"
 Gwen Burton and Frank Zurlo's net score of 45 was good enough to take second prize, Art Butman and Angie Manbrun0 placed third with AT, while Gordon Whitaker and FL eanor Shumway tied Bort Covert and Mabel Filming for fourth place with 48.
 Ernie Green charges that skull duggery was rampant. T played be- hind one fuorsome," said Ernie, whose barefaced and open finag- ling would chill the blood. They openly kicked butts into the cup, teed up in the rough, threw their ball out of sand traps and employed any other illicit maneuver calcu- lated to assure them from breaking hind one foursome," said Ernie, observing these goings on and yet counting every one of my strokes with the exception of some. But B adds Ernie triumphantly, "thiS ne- fariouS fourSome did not COD the bacon, proving once more that old adage, 'Cheater, Cheater never win. I didn't win either" he continued, which proves another old saw, namely, There's no ustice'".
 After the match prizes were awarded to winners, amid the ap- plause of less fortunate partici- pants. Some fine scores had been turned in, the best of which were the Byron-Birs low gross of 46 and the Byrnes-Mellor low gross of 49. The severe minus-eight handicap of the Byron-Bis combination gave them a net of 54, well out of the running, while the zero handicap of the Byrnes-Mellor combine left them just one stroke out of fourth place.
 Lefty wishes to thank all those who participated, for their fine sportsmanship and their willing CO., operation. He wishes to especially thank Doris Braun, Gwen Burton Helen Roberts and Jack Kearney who assisted him with arrange. ments. And he has some extra sne- cial gratitude for Art Butman and Nick Tamburello who, at the Iasi minute, agreed to substitute anT thus kept wtosome pairings intact
 The next tournament should be 2 honey. v {.

 New York, Aug. 8.-(UP)-Tucked away in an obscure corner of the American league pitching averages today is 8 nne-6s" "Ryba, Boston, won 6, lost 2''-that is a sort of bushel hiding the light of one of the most remarkable ball players in the business.
 That gent would be old Mike Ryba, the one-man team who has dcne everything connected with a baseball club except cut the grass, take etickets and try to interpret one of Judge Landis' decisions. Old Mike has been knocking around the minor and major leagues for 8 long time, but he had to wait until he was .36 years old to settle down to one position.
 Fireman
 He comes to mind today because here in the heat of August he has just appeared in three games in four days as 8 pitcher! Any time the Red Sox get in trouble these days, Manager Joe Cronin sounds the alarm and old Mike shuf1les out of the bull pen to put out the fire.
 Dig behind the records and you will find that old Mike has been in g ball games this season and may get into 20 more. If Cronin suddenly decides to take advantage of all of Mikes talents, the old guy could be in there every day from now on.
 Baseball men still speak with awe of the 1884 season when Mike was in charge of the Springfield club of the Western Association.
 T was the manager and the busi- ness manager" Mike said recently in recalling that hectic year. we travelled around the league in three automobiles and I drove one of them. I usually drove the rear car so could ride herd and see that none of the players dropped out to grab a beer.
 T played every position on the club, and I can still remember my averages. As 8 pitcher I won IA and lost 3. I caught about 100 games

The U. s. team scored again in the fifth and threatened in the sixth but tight defensive play by Risdon cut of the rally. Both Upright and Rabinovich pitched nice ball with the former having slight edge Larson and Turner starred for the winners and Minicucci and Chimil- inski for the losers.
