The Knceys again trounced the Lockwoods yesterday, by the score of 14-6. Llptak who started the game for the Lockwooris. had a sore arm and had to he removed from the game. He was succeeded by Hall. who failed to stop the Kaccys. and he in turn was removed from the mound and Jack (learin was lent to the mound. Hall walked three mm a:- ter he went into the box. forcing in a run. O'Donnell then hit a double. cleaning the bases. During the fifth and sixth innings the Keceys scored six runs. Xe Carton was the star at bat for the lmckwoods. securing three hits out of four trips to the plate. One of his hits was a triple. O'Dclnnell m the lending star with the hickory for the Kaceys. He secured four hits out of five times at hat. The Kaceys all had their eyes on the pill yesterday and secured a total of 16 hits off the backwoods trio of pitchers. Kacey fans yesterday. were well pleased with the showing of the local tcam and feel certain that they will give the teams in the City league a great deal of trouble when the or- ganization opens their season. Man- ager Martino is deserving of credit in getting such a strong organisation to- gether. The two teams will meet ngnin next week at Amusement Park and the Lockwoods hope to score their first victory of the season. Keyea of Bridgeport was the umpire in yes- terday's game.

If you asked such a question of Rogers Hornsby. George Sisler. Ty Cobb. or any of the other great hit- ters. they would undoubtcdiy reply that the hit'lm; at live golf ball for base hall lhroun with the terrif speed more difficult font than connecting with “'alter Johnson's fast one. If you put such e queery to Gene Samson. Mike Brady. \Veiter Hagen. Jock Hutchiaon or any of the great golfers. they would be certain to rc-. ply that hitting a golf bell was soft in comparison to solving Weller John- son‘s delivery. No doubt. that is the way it seems to the experts in baseball and golf. But after all is said and done it is the thing at which you are expert that are easy to do. Swims Arc Different The golf swing an baseball swing are entirely different. In lmseball much more depends on the body pivot than in golf. Proper rhythm of the arms TY COBB AND WALTER HAGnn is most essential in golf. There must be perfect co-ordination to get die- tancc and accuracy. In baseball the main thing is to hit the bell. The placing is not regarded as essential as the hitting. In base- ball the ides. is to try to hit it safely and let it go where it will. A base hit to left field. right field or center field is equally effectiw. ln golf the placing of the ball is given much more consideration. In- niriably the golfer has a set objective. and the. Slicing or hooking of the bell throws him off his course. When an iron shot is used to get on the green. the thought uppermost is to reach the green and get as close as possible to the pin. so as to be in a good position to hole out. Not only is the golfer called upon to video the ball but in so placing it. he must get the proper distance in order to reach the green. us well as not overrun it. While the leading hitters in the two major leazurs oflrn seek to place the hall. in order to upset the defense the opposition has set for them. still it is a rather difficult thing to do. if the pitcher pitches properly. in order to make the batter hit the way his in. field and outfield has shifted. Then there are the mating shots which golf calls for that are not a part of baseball. Often en golfer bits what appears to be a beautiful ball only to find himself in a sand trap. often in an almost unpleyabls podtion. ~ Ind: Plays a Pest Invertebly the element of luck plays a part in such a shot. Often a ball perfectly driven wili' find a. resting spot in some rough spot in the course that almost hides the ball from view. Such a lie natunlly makes it all the more difficult to recover. in golf. to get accuracy and dim there must be perfect cooordinetion between mind. eyes. arms. legs and body. The flightest slip will prove fatal. While co~ordlnation is aimed as essential in baseball. still the pout- bility of getting in trouble because of some little slip is not nearly so greet. r my part I am convinced that lit ting the golf ball is the more difflo cult. job.

The low) bastball season is in full swing at the present time. 0 0 0 Manager Bellue of the Bpringwoods showed the right spirit yesterday. when he gave Hodoe n youngster from the Hpringwood section a chance to get into the game. This lad shapes up as a likely looking player. and with a little more expertence he should be able to hold down a regular berth with the Springwoods. O O I If some of the other managers of the local teams would follow in the footsteps of Manager Belius and give some of the youngsters around the city 3 chance. they would find the balance in their treasury a good deal larger at. the end of the season. . O O O The one big fault with the local baseball teams is the fact tint They go out of town to get most all. .of their players and the local lads never get a chance to play with the Nor- walk teams. 0 O O A number of good baseball players were developed in the local Industrial League last. season and some of these players would make good material for some of the local teams playing Sun- day baseball. 0 O 0 Stanley came near turning in a no- hit game for the Springwoods yester- day. Not a hit was secured oi! the husky Springwood twirler up until the ninth inning. O O O A large crowd was on hand to see Frank 'Riiey‘s Wilton teem open the tee-on yesterday. Riley has wm looks like a strong organisation this seeeon and should give any of the lo- cal teams a great deal of trouble. By leRoy D. Downs The Locnwcocs sure could have used Kuhlman in yesterday's game. it is hoped that he will be on hand next Sunday. 0 O O 'l‘ickey will play his last game with the Springwood teen on next. Sunday. He will report to the Salisbury teen: in the Eastern Shore League during the following week. His work will sure be mined by the HillJl‘op nine. 0 O 0 Manager Bellus has several fine catchers in view to replace Tickey. It is thought that the berth will be given to Pjura who is considered one of the best catchers in this section. 0 O O staples High School sure took a neat trimming at the bends of the Denbury High school. The natung Town High must have a strong team this season. Dropped Yale Men Play Much. Work Too little NEW HAVEN.
