Norwalk Big Five Takes
Game by Score of 37-32:;
Red Men Separates Win.
1.
In one 0! the best basketball games
of the season. the Norwalk Big Five
defeated the Yale Junior basketball
the last evening. at the Armory. by
the score of 37- 32. In the prelimi-
nary game the Red Men Separ‘ates de—
feated the Battery C team, in the first
game of their series. by the score of
25—13.
It looked in the first half of the
main game as if the local team was
in for an easy evening. They seemed
to be able to score at will. and were
leading by the score of 14-5 at the
end of this half. Shortly after the
,eecond half of the game started the
visitors struck their stride and tossed
in basket after baskeH’ntil the local
team was only leading by one point.
From then on the game was nip and
tuck until the final whistle blew.
Guarnleri was the leading scorer for
the Big Five. He made five baskets
from the field for a total of 10 points.
Mullen and Brotherton also played a
fine game. and each of these players
scored several points. The local team
played a fine floor game. and every
man on the team deserves credit for
the fine game that they played last
night.
The visitors used seven men during
the game. and all these players put up
'a fine exhibition. Ohley. the tall cen-
ter; of 'the Yale team. put up a fine
game and tossed in five baskets. He
made all of those baskets during the
second half of the contest. Winsor
and Mitnor also starred for the visit-
ing team.
Tho preliminary game drew a large
number of fans to the Armory last
evening. and attracted a great deal of
interest among those present. This
game started oft with a rush. and the
Separates were the first to score and
continued to hold the lead throughout
the game. The score at the end of
the first half of the game was 14—5 in
favor of the Separates. The second
half of the contest'was faster than
the first and both teams played hard.
The Separates flashed a passing game,
which completely baffled the Battery
five.
Ca\ anaugh was the outstanding star
of the Separates. and tossed in three
baskets and three iouigoais for a to-
tal of nine points. He also played a
great floor game. and was all over the
court breaking up plays and carrying
the bull. Sheehan had his eye on the
basket last night and tossed in three
goals on Brothcrton. the star of the
Battery team. Hunt was the out-
standing star of the Battery team and
scored sev on of their points.
A large crowd attended the games
and the Armory was filled to the
doors. Ater the games dancing took
place. Music was furnished by Gail‘s
orchestra. It was announced tint the
game next week would be played on
Friday night instead of Wednesday
evening, as the Armory will not be
av.ailable owing to the fact that Fed-
eral inspection will be held there. The
Battery C. team and the Red Men
Separates will play the second game
of their series on next Mond\v night
at Red Mcn' s Hall

clever backstop of the New York
Giants. “the perfect catcher." 1

Graw says:
“Frank Sayd'e’ the ideal catcher.
He is the equal f any backstop the

"In ”paying that compliment to
Snyder I am not un'iuindful of the fact
that in Roger Bresnahan. George
Gibson. Charley Dooin. Johnny Kling
and Jimmy archer. the National
League boasts some great receivers "
In referring to Snyder as the ideal
catcher, McGraw has in mind his phy-
sicsl makeup, his fearless nature, his
mechanical excellelice and his ability
to think.
nu nod Unusual Caner.
Snyder’s career is indeed unusual.
He was considered a. brilliant catcher
during his term with' the St. Louis
Cardinals. Smoothing happened to
the right arm—rheumatism, or some-
thing that took the smoke out of it
and in 1918 he was put on the trade
block.
Snyder offered for trade was a
shock in National League headquar-
ters. The year betore‘, Millet- Huggins.
as manager of the“Cardinsis. had re-
fused a. cash offer of 850. 000 from the
Pittsburg Pirates. Nevertheless. Sny-
der had a lame arm and Rickey. did
not want. him. ‘
McGraw. always admiring the pluck
and the courage‘ot the husky Tenn.
played a long shot and won. He trad-
ed Ferdinand Schupp for Snyder.
Schupp had a bum left whip_ and
Snyder a stale right arm.
Stan-ed Against Yankees.
Snyder came back. Ilsst season.
with an average of .343. he was the
hardest-hitting catcher in the Nation-
al League.
That McGraw puts a guarantee be-
hind his word is shown by the work
of the Giants in the last two world
series with the Yankees. Snyder has
caught 10 of the 13 games.
Earl Smith was regarded as a young
phenom until Snyder recovered his
‘
form and Smith has been forced
play second fiddle to Snyder.
