The Norwalis High school baseball
team hes e chance to win the chant-
pionship of the Southern li‘alrfleid
County scholastic league again this
year. lid—several things happen.
First. Norwallt has to win the league
games with Danbury and Felrfield.
Then Greenwich must lose one of its
remaining games. Providing Green-
wich loses only one more game.
the down state were and Norwaik
will be tied for the championship of
the league. That leaves a play off
necessary. the same as last year.

It may seem a difficult task for
all these things to happen. Baseball
is a. game of the unknown and the
unexpected often happens. it is
good logic and sound baseball for
the above things to take place.

Not-walk and Greenwich Hys
showed complete reversals of form
in the game Tuesday. The Nor-walk
team should play better ball from
now on. They have an aggressive
combination. who fought herd on
Tuesday. Bill Sullivan. showed that
he is a classy pitcher. He issued only
three base on balls and tightened in
the pinches. Sullivan, it worked
carefully. should win every game he
pitches during the remainder of the
season.

The new infield combination ot
Nor-walk worket better. Hart of
third is fast on hunts and his good
throwing arm soon made Greenwich
give up this method of attack. The

left and right field positions have
been somewhat or a mystery to
Coach Ferol Green. Coach Green
has a. raft of good fielders. but they
hit in streaks. He has tried Jim
Vasale. Jack Reynolds. Herbie
Keogh. Henry Caruso and Jim
Meade. These boys are not. consist.
ont batters.

Jack Lewis is hitting the ball hard
and is a. good fielder. Bill Sullivan
has. qualified for the right. field
berth when he is not pitching. Sui.
livan is hitting quite regular.‘

It is believed that Jack Martin's
pitching days are about over. He
may be used in the future games.
but with..Coleman Charnok and Sul-
livan going good he does not seem
to have much of a. chance. Mackin
hurt his arm early in the season. it
has bothered him at bat. He is slow
in running. but he has been hand-
ling the pitchers better with each
name. Tomey is also a heavy hitter
and a fine place bunter. ‘

Plans are now under way for an

ment to be staged in Westport dur-
ing the month of June. It. is be-

Wers and American Legion will
sponsor the show. .

The ex-serviee men have been run-

people are beginning to tire of car-
nival and that a boxing show would
go over big. There are several dif.

A Dave Horton was hit twice in the

Greenwich H. S.-Norwallt H. S. base-
ball game Tuesday. He received a
foul tip in the cheat. while behind
the bat. l-ie umpires without a chest
protector. Whilo Horton was umpir-
lng back of the pitcher he was hit
by a. fair ball. He continued both
times without having-any tlnlc tak-
en out.

'l‘he last two home games of Nor
walk High have been quite a. con-
trast to the early contests. The wea-
ther is now very warm and the
spectators can enjoy the games in
their short sleeves. During the first
few games the fans were wrapped
in overcoats and mittens.

 

Martin Dictz. of Columbia. Univer-
sity. and Larry McMahon. of Ford-
hein College. were visitors at Tues-
day's High school game at Amuse-
ment Park.

 

The Greenwich team did a. lot of
blocking against Norwalk. Several
times the gayera blocked the bag
without possession of the ball. 1n
the seventh, the first baseman
knocked Sullivan down. who ruched
first. safely. The first baseman tried
to squeeze Sullivan off the bag.
when both were on the ground.

 

One of the prettiest plays of the
season was executed in Tuesday's
game. Foote was on first as the
result of a. fielder's choiCe to third
when he forced Sullivan at second.
Foots made a dash for second.
drawing the second baseman over
with him. Lewis otinnected with the
ball and drove it obind Foote out
into right field. Foote went to third
on the hit. It was of the old hit-and-
run plays that. are seldom worked
successfully even in the major
leagues.

 

Jim Meade had a rather tough
break in the Greenwich game. He.
fanned twice at but. after making
two safeties as a pinch hitter. hicadc
also made a bad throw to the plate
in the first inning on a. sacrifice fly
to his territory.

delegation of, sportsmen. who travel
to South Norwalk to witness the
shows over here.

Tho last boxing show was held in
the Y. M. C. A. about a month ago.
This show was for the benefit of the

The Acorn Athletic Club in
Bridgeport is a busy piece in the
afternoon. We stopped in there yes-
terday and there were a number of
fighters working out for various
bouts. By the amount of activity
one would think that ho was stop-
ping into Stillman‘s Gym in New
York city.

 

While there we had the pleasure
of looking over Young Mulligan.
who is training hard for his bout
with Jack Sharkey. The local he!

Ernie Perry of Bridgeport. who
will clash with Mule Brown at

working out at the Acorn. Perry is
in line shape and from all accounts
this bout is going to no a. bummer.
Stamford fans are backing Brown
to win and the Park City ions are
confldont that Ferry will come
through with a victory. May the
best man win.
