Smith Holds Danbury to Seven Hits—Wiltons

Make All Their Runs in One Inning —-
, Underhiil Makes Great Catch—Series, Wil-

ton, 3; Danbury, 1

Opportune hitting by Wilton in
the third inning of yesterday's game.
In which four runs were scored,
proved the undoing of “Andy" Rush.
pitching for Dnnbury. in the fourth
game of the inter-city series. The
Doors was 4 to 1, and the series now
Manda three to one in favor of Wil-
Ion.

The game was witnessed by 8. 000
fans and they were treated to an
exhibition of spectacular fielding. in-
cluding a beautiful running catch by
Underhill. which resulted in a dou-
ble play; Fitzpatrick’s running one-

 

; hand catch of Lundy's fly in the
eighth frame. and Landy's beautiful

catch of Holden's fly in the same
frame.

The Wiltons were able to score in
only one inning. but they managed
to chalk up enough in the third to
hold the lead throughout the entire
game.

In the third Scholz led 'with a sin-
gle to center; Smith grounded out
to Holden, unassisted: Underhill
shot a hot grounded through the in-
Brogan

third;
Landy singled to the mid-section and
Brogan scored. Landy going to sec-
ond on the throw to the plate: Burke
flied out to Fitzpatrick; l’lcnsants
singled to left and Landy scored.

The only Danbury tally came in
the sixth stanza. Holden doubled to
left: Fitzpatrick sent a. bingle to the
same sector and Holden“ scored.

The fifth game of the series will
be staged at Danbury next Sunday
and, as Bush is slated to pitch two
games for Waterbury during the
week, it is rumored that Steve Moore
has already secured the services of
”Moose" Fuller, who is also going
great guns for the Waterbury East-
ern Leaguers. ,

Brooklyn’s Star Twirl-
er Has His Record
Marred By Fielder’s
Muff in ’2nd Inning

NEW YORK. Sept. 14.—Before a
crowd of 23,000 fans Dazzy Vance,
star of the Robins and king of ma-
Jor league pitchers. once again cov-
ered himself with glory yesterday
when he pitched a no-hlt game
against the Phillies in the first part
of a double-header at Ebheis Field.
The Robins, of course. won the con-
test. but an error by a teammate
deprived Vance of a shut-out. The
score was 10 to 1. The lone Phil-
adelphia tally came in the second
inning. the result of two errors on
one play by Jimmy Johnston. who
substituted in left field for Zack
Wheat.

In hie second game the Robins
were defeated by a score of 7 to 8.
Burlcigh Grimes being knocked off
the slab in the fourth inning. Be-
fore Burlclgh took his departure
two home runs were hit. one by
Chick Hawkcs in the third inning.
with the bases loaded.

Only two Philadelphia batters
reached first base against Vance. It
was Dazzy's first: no-lllt fest. and
the first to be turned in by a major
league pitchcr this season. Dazzy
started the game by walking Heinie
Sand. bllt he fanned Leach and Wil-
liams and Harper was retired on a
grounder to Hargreaves, who took
Fournler‘s place at first base.

Hawkcs, opening the second in-
ning. lifted on ordinary fly to left
field which Wheat could have
caught in one of his hip-pockets.
However. Johnston lauded the bail
and then made a wild throw to the
infield. The two errors enabled
Hawkcs to reach third. Vance then
fanned Huber but Fribcrg raised a
sacrifice fly to Brown and Hnwkcs
carried the only Philly run of the
game over the plate.

l'llillics Go Out in Order.

 

 

not 8. Philly boiler reached first
base. Vance fanned nine men and
increased his list of victims for the
season to 213. It was his twenty-
sccond victory of the campaign.
Dnzzy made‘ a whirlwind finish.
fanning two pinch hitters in the
ll‘onsccn, butting for l‘ictis,

raised an easy foul which Har-
greaves muffcd for an error. On
the next delivery Fonscca was call-
ed out on strikes. Klnlmick then
batted for Meiz and fanned on three
pitched balls. Leach followed and
hit the first delivery, a. fly. to John-
ston and Vance had his no-hit game
tucked away.

Last Tuesday Dazzy pitched a one
hit shut-out against the Phillies,
when only twenty-seven batters
faced him. The only hit made off
him then came in the second in-
ning. Therefore when he finished

of hurling sixteen consecutive hit-
lcss innings. a new major league
pitching mark.

Dazzy's feat of pitching a one-hit
game. then a no-hit game. was per-
formed by Howard Ehmke, of the
Red Sox. year before last. They
are the only two pitchers in the last
quarter of a century who have turn-
ed the trick. Dazzy’s string of six-
teen hitless innings constitutes a
major league record. In 1898 Long
Tom Hughes, just arrived with Bal-
timore at the time. is believed to
have pitched'one- hit and no-hit
games in succession. .

Oddly enough Chick liawkes. of
the Philiies, figured prominently in
Dazzy's two sterling performances.
In the one-hit affair last Tuesday‘it
was Hawkes who spoiled an other-

the second inning. Yesterday it was
Hawks again who raced all the way
to third on Johnston's muff and wild
throw in the same inning and scor-

There was practically no dignity
connected with baseball in the old
days. The game had no Judge Lan-

to keep the rough edges off the de-
mon stilleics‘ necks. The boys sim-
ply went. out and pinycd baseball.

due to the skill they devel-

Old-timers had one distinct advan-
logo over the modems. In those
days only true umpire ran a ball
game. It takes less time to mutilate
ono umpire than three and besides
you are. likely to do a much better

General John J. Pershing. president

It, was General Pershing’s first

The situation at Tscna was discuss-

General Pershing passed the time

General Pershing was attended by

the men's unnual national singles
championship and the veterans'
national singles tournoys on the turf

at Forest Hills.

It is doubtful, if any tournaments
staged so for this year will equal in
importance, in strength and in in-
terest, the great struggle that will
begin this afternoon at Forest Hills.

The tournament is
strong. however. in headliners, with
eight or a dozen men who will make

the last five yours, by Willian T.
Tilden 2d, of Philadelphia.
’l'lldcu favorite No. 1

0n the eve of the annual classic
indications were that the mighty
Tilden would still be wearing the
crown ‘of the king of the courts
when the final round match has
been completed next Saturday. Big
Bill always seems able to summon

and amazing skill when
pends upon the issue. It is one of
the characteristics that have made
him and kept him a champion
iagainst the challenges of every great
player in the world through a long
five-year stretch. He showed this
ability to come from behind twice
in the
Davis Cup challenge round matches
against France. First it. was the
brilliant Jean Borutl'a, conqueror of
Patterson and Anderson at Forest
Hills, 'and then Rene Lacostc. the

national champion to five furious
sets. only to lose out to Tildcn's ir-
resistible rush in the end. after hold-
ing big leads.
Located ill Lower Half

Big Bill is located in the top
bracket of the lower half of the
draw where his first serious op.
position should come in the fourth
round. with James 0. Anderson as
his opponent. The Australian. one
of the most unfortunate mayors who
ever came from ovcrm. has not
ibcen in top form since reaching this
country, and it is hardly likely he

Tilden this week.

In the second quarter of this same
half there is far more strength, for
Vincnt Richards, 13. l. C. Norton.
Wrsy D. Brown, Francis T. Hunter
and Rene Lacoste are all located
there. Richards, if all goes well,
should meet Tnkcicclli liarada, of
Japan. in the third round, and
Lacosts in the fourth, a. for more
in view of the desperate battle the
little Frenchman put up against
lTllden at Gcrmuntown. The winner
of the match betwcin Richards and
Lacostc will be Tilden's opponent in
the lower half semifinal. and this
will probably L‘()n:‘lilllle the cham-
pion's most severe test, in this half
if not in the entire tournament.

1n the lop bracket of the upper
half is William M. Johnston. of Cali-
fornia. twice u. holder of the title

danger spot to be met in the fourth
round.

In the second quarter of the top
half are Howard Kinsey. of Cali-
fornia; It. Norris Williams 2d, of

ticians will continue to be scored.
