BRAND OF BALL

New York, May 1-(UP)-An off
day audit of the records confirmee
today what many folks had feared
that the lowered standard Cf Maj0
League baseball this season woule
be reflected principally in the field.
ing.
The trend is definite in both
leagues as compared with the same
number of games from the start OF
the season year ago.
There have been 1874 fielding mis-
plays In the 80 Major League games
played to date as compared with 158
in the same number Of games per
team a year ago.
The National League, upholding
its standing reputation as a
smoother fielding outfit, has COM
mitted 81 errors in 40 games, an in
crease of Is for the same nur Der Of
games last year when the total was
rs errors.
The American, with fewer games
PLAYED, 80, has made 103 miscues as
compared with 80 for 1914, an in
crease of 81.
The error average per team per
game in the National is 1.06 as COM
pared with .88 for the same period
in 1914. In the American the team
average is 1872 errors per game COM
pared with 106 per game year
ago.
Yanks Miscue Most
Surprisingly, the worst offenders
in either circuit are the usually
sure fielding New York Yankees,
who have made "a errors in II
games as compared with IA In their
first II games last year.
At the other extreme are their
neighbors at the Polo Grounds, the
New York Giants, who have made
only nine errors in II games, de-,
crease of six from 1914 when they
made Is in the first dozen starts.
Only five clubs in the two leagues
are fielding at a steadier average
than in 1914, with fewer errors forl
the same number Of games. They
are the Giants, Chicago Cubs and
Boston Braves in tha National, and
the Philadelphia Athleti and De-
troit Tigers in the American EX-
cept for the G:ant with a decrease
of six errors and the Athletics with
a drop Of four, the changes ale
negligible.

gave it to French to 5. Three home
runs were hit by Raymond of
French, Pollock and Yakowski of

SomerS Brass in the very first in
ming and had a ST. edge in the
fourth. but Somers came back
strong, matched the 3 Scovill runs
and shut out Scovill thereafter, get
ting tie game run in the seventh.
The teams played an extra inning,
but neither scored the game finish
ing in Mexican standoff SIS; SEQ
will getting hits, Somers Brass 8.
A SO lead in the third inning by
Waterbury Companies seemed to in
dictate an easy win, but the VIC
club just had enough for 5-4 edge
over Waterbury Mfg. which scored
four runs in three successive in
ningS. "FootS" Berardi and Ron
Frensle got four of the winners II
hits; Berterlero holding the losers
to hits.
