Dellying and dallying for honors of
I game which was rightfully theirs.
the boys of the Norwalk High school
baseball team. after having piled up
a big lead over the Shelton high nine.
yesterday, gave way their superiority
and finally. in the eleventh. through
a bad throw by Tom Ireland. lost
their third game of the season.
Starting off with a bang in the first
inning the green and white men piled
up five demerits towards the up stat-
ers' goal. Irwin 'iolmes. the Hy's
lead off man. accepted Pitcher Pry-
Pleeh's second pitched ball for a home
run in the first round. Holmes has
the distinction of knocking the first
circuit clout of the high school's sea-
son; a hit which ordinarily would
not have entilled the batter to those
honors. but here, because of the field's
peculiar situation. was an oppbrtune
blow.
Sam “Zeb" Sallick. regularly situ-
lted on second base. placed himself
on the mound yesterday and came
through with a. fair brand of ball.
which work he could only do for six
innings. to be succeeded' by old re-
liabe "Ears" Holmes. Sallick. while
on the rubber. allowed one run in
the second. three in the third. four
in the fourth and three in the sixth.
at which time re was disposed, after
allowing two walks and a home run.
Having no special leader, the con-
test groper around for 11 innings and
then finally submitted itself to the
Sheltonius. who by the way. won their
first game yesterday out of seven
played.
Running along behind its oppon—
ents. the Norwalk team scored the
tyeing run in the eighth from which
point not a single man could cross
the plate until the eleventh. Holding
them down in iiin- fashion the lads of
the West avenue. institution were well
under way in the second overtime
period. when Catcher "Harp" Ireland.
in an endeavor to catch Taylor, the
Shelton shortstop. threw a wild. low
one to "llawk" Skidd, the boy on third
sack. and this concluded the struggle
as Taylor t‘illl‘lt.‘ in with the winning
run
The next game will be at Amuse-
l'nent Park on Friday of next week.
where tln- local school will recipiorate
the up statm‘s' hospitality.

advanced to the finals of the Midle-
sex championship yesterday. by de-
feating Miss E. R. Clarke by a score
of 6—2. 6-3.
Mrs. Mallory's opponent in the
finals has not yet been determined.
but will probably be Miss Kathleen
McKane. who ranks No. 1 among the
British women players.
The American champion had no dif-
ficulty yesterday in defeating Mill
Clarke. The courts were slow. but
Mrs. Mallory's play had its usual
.- bounding speed. and in the opinion
.’ of British critics among the specta~
tops she is better than at this date

day's competition of their Davis Cup
tie. the two singles matches being
divided.

Excellent weather prevailed and 2..

matches began. Jacob's play in the
first match was accurate and steady.
while Campbell had flashes of bril-
llancy interspersed with streaks of er-
ratic playing. '
Dr. McCrea won his match from Dr.
Fysee more by clever placing and
good headwork than by technical eu-
periority. Hie opponent's backhand
play was wonderful. This match was

Twenty-nine years old. rugged. a clev-
er and stiff puncher with either hand.
he has hopes of wearing down the
veteran and taking the title. It was
this same sort of battle campaign that
carried Xilbane to victory over Abe
Attell for the title in a California ring
in "‘11. _
Attell. once a super-boxer. was worn
down by the clever long range~nght
of the challenging. taunting. stifl-
punching Killian. Crlqui today is 39
years old. at least seven years beyond
the age of Kilbane when the Ohioan
defeated Attoll. but the gruelling test
of the trenches during the war made
the Frenchman a relentless llama.
The little Frenchman suffered seri-
ous wounds at Verdun. After his
recovery he returned to the ring and
became a terror to featherweighu all
ova- Europe. Before the war hezhao
been a fair boxer with no punch-—
after the war he was the great fighter.
He soon became European champion.
The champion. Kllbane. has had
little ring work during the last three
years. In preparation for today‘s
encasement. he has. however. shown
a mat deal of speed and all of his
old-time prowess with the gloves. If
he to able to take the same form into
the jug against Criqul. many experts
benefit that'his title will not be taken
fromfihim.
Xilhane's long period of idleness
has been due to a great extent to the
refusal of promoters to meet his de-
mands for large purses. The cham-
