Woonsocket won its fifth straight victory at Clinton Oval yesterday afternoon, trouncing the Brockton bunch by a score of 10 to Both teams made their hits count, but the homesters proved more effective tn meeting the ball when the time was ripe. Power, the Brockton southpaw, was derricked in the fourth mound when three successive hits had been made for as many runs, with none out. Wurman was effective, but his passes were costly.

The hitting of Craft, the Speeders twirler, almost cost him a win. He connected for a triple, double and single and wasted so much energy crtaslng around the bags that he had little left for box work. of his drives hit the fence In deep centre. The scofe: Woonsocket. UPPER ROW, SHELTON, E.

In the contest played yesterday afternoon on "the Sabin street Gilmore contributed a slashing two-bagger In tlje opening chap-5 terTaforingkMp.S'.j;cf'i(. WKf-' home run tpe third, again' scoring McSherry. The homer was the first made on the grounds sines the opening of the league, and the ball had hardly reached second 'fbasO en the return when Gilmore crossed the pan. Pawtucket went Into first place by the victory. Burdick, the Tigers star twirler, was opposed by Joe Harrington, for-jtnerly connected with the Broadway team of the Inter-City league and one of the best hurlers in the Colonial circuit.

The contest was one of the best and fastest played of the year, a number of fine double plays, contributed by both sides, adding interest. Manager Klernan of the Spindle City aggregation, altnough not in the game, was busy on the coaching lines throughout the contest. In the final I1 Inning, after one run had been scored, Klernan started a verbal tilt with a number of spectators sealed In the grandstand, the result being that Umpire Gilroy ordered him to the bench. 1 McGinle? played excellent ball behind the bat, and Aldred and Mc-Sherry cared for everything that came their way in the outfield. Martin, the visitors left fielder, made a pretty throw in the Johnson clouted the ball to left Martin captured the sphere and nailed Pfeffer at the plate on a perfect throw.

With a good chance of scoring In the eighth, the opportunity was lost When Callahan was declared out for leaving third base Before Pfeifer's fly was nailed by O'Connell. The Tigers opened the scoring In the Initial chapter. McSherry was passed, took second on Callahans sacrifice, and scored on Gilmores hit to left for two bases. Two more runs were added In the third. McSherry again received a free pass, went to second when Callahan dropped the ball down the first base line, and crossed the pan on Gilmores terrific olout to tbe fence.

Fall River got two runs back In ths sixth. Riley struck out but Morris started with a clean single to left. Martin popped to Pfeffer, O'Connor hit to right for two bases, Morris going to third. OConnell lifted a pretty Texas leaguer over second, scoring Morris and O'Connor. The other run of the visitors was scored in the ninth.

OConnor got a base on balls and took second on Callahans error on OConnells grounder. Commette advanced both men on a acrifice. Weigold filed to Aldred, scoring OConnor. Harrington was hit, but Sharpe ended the game, flying to Callahan. The score: Fall River.

Athletic Director, Morrison of Durfee so States in, Letter to Head of Newport Institution. a result of the treatment that the Durfee High school baseball team received at Newport last Wednesday In tbe annual Durfee-Rogers baseball game In that city, Athletic Direct Dr William D. Morrison has sent a communication to Headmaster Thompson of the Newport school, -severing all athletic connections with that Institution. The local school authorities have had at least one mlxup each year with Rogers, and the action of William D. Morrison, In severing the relations be ELECTED TO OFFICE City Baseball League Names Former Grandfield Manager Vice President, While Regan Will Be Secretary.

The City Baseball league officials and managers held their regular weekly meeting In The Herald office last evening. Secretary Crandall resigned his position stating that he was a manager of one of the teams In the league and did not believe that a manager Bhould also be an official of the league. Michael Regan, of The Herald, was elected by the managers to fill the vacancy and will take up his new duties at once. A new office In the league was made last night when 'Eddie'' Key, for several years manager of the champion Grandflelds and well known In City league circles was elected to the vice-presidency. Ney has done as much as any one man In recent years to keep the City league on a strong financial basis and his election to the vice presidency will prove a popular one with the fans of the city.

Mr. Ney Is deserving of the honor be-Btowed by his old fellow leaguers and his ability and experience should be a big boost for the league. There were no games originally scheduled for Memorial day In the City league but at the request of the Manager Crandall of the North Ends who has secured the use of the North Park diamond "for Memorial morning the game originally scheduled for May 6, between the Saints and the North Enders will be played oft at 10 30 a thla Saturday when it Is expected that a large crowd will turn out to witness the contest. i IBatted for Johnson In 9th. 2Ran for Lelivelt In 9th 3Batted for Steen tn 9h.

From New York today came the report that the Colonial Basebalf league, the Class circuit operating in Pawtucket, Brockton, Woonsocket, New Bedford and Fall River, Is controlled by men Interested In the Federal league. The report Is that the Ward Bros, the well known baking firm, who control the Brooklyn club of the outlaw circuit, are the backers of the league, and that A. W.

Bann-wart Is their agent Thus the paradox Is presented In federal Interests ball will have to prove these assertions. but If they srTfound to be true there Is little doubt but what steps may be taken to antrul the protection extended. One clue which seems to link the possibility of connection between the league and the Ward Bros, is that all liquor and cigarette advertisements have been barred from the grounds, and Sunday baseball Is also prohibited between the clubs. This Is In conformity with the Ideas of the Wards, who are vigorously opposed to Sunday playing by their Brooklyn club and who are said to have taken a stand against the style of advertlee-menta mentioned In Washington park, the home of the so-called Brookfeds. The Colonial league has secured protection under Class which Is a grade lower than the New England league, also operating In this section of the continent.

The season opened May 15 and la scheduled to close on Labor day. Even If baseball powers should take action against the Colonial league, provided It Is financed by outlaw interests, It is not thought that the circuit wjll disband. There Is every Indication that the qew league has plenty 0f money behind It. At the Babin street grounds oleach-ers and grandstand have been built at a big outlay of money and In Taunton, Fall River, Brockton and other cities there has been no Attempt by the owners to stint themselves In providing for the propei presentation of tha gams. The Pawtucket club Is managed by Frank Pfeffer, the former Chicago player.

Pfeffer wae Interviewed today regarding the story and said: "If the Federal league people have any connection with the Colonial lgue It Is news to m. I have done Uh Mr n1, WhO, SS far SS I know, has been the agent for the owners from the start.

The runner wa declared safe by the arbitrator and three run were scored by the home team, making the score 4-8 In Durfe'a favor, then the climax of the contest came. Murphy threw to second on an other occasion In this seme inning, nnd She allowed the ball to get past him. and the runner advanced to th piste, i Sullivan recovered the ball and made a perfect throw to Murphy, who was waiting for the runner as he came home, after Rogers had made the rcore four apiece as a result of a former play.

NEW BEDFORD, May 28. Spectacular base running and fielding gave the Whalers a 6 to 6 victory over Taunton here yesterday afternoon with enough thrillers for a circus. Kane, Linder, Proulx and Sprague made the circus catches and Linder furnished the batting and base-running features. The game was bard fought. Bowman, who started for New Bedford, lasted two Innings.

He was relieved by Tillman, who held the visitors safe. Bowman, in the first, passed one man. erred on another and both scored on a slashing drive by Johnson. Linder's single, Dean's double. Shirk hit by a pitched ball and Jacksons single netted the Whalers two In the second.

In the third New Bedford scored on Spragues double, a pass to Duff, a double steal by Duff and Linder and a clean steal of the plate by Linder. In (Continued on Page Eight.) out for McLeod, Jack. Say gents but cant that boy Van-nle from Hartford, hit that ball. Harry Wormwood, the old Fall River twirler, who was released by Hartford last week, may catch on with Lynn of the New England league. He has been working out In Lynn and says hta arm is In better shape than ever before.

The Colonial league js being given a little publicity by a few pencil-pushers who allege that It Is an offspring of the Federal league and la baing backed by money furnished by the Wards of Brooklyn, who control the outlaw franchtse in that city. This Is very Interesting news to the officers, backers and manager of the various cl uba Providence Journal. Jack OBrien expects to hear from Jack Fryer, a Pawtucket lad, who played with Holy Cron. Fryer la ao an lnflelder. An outfielder from Cambridge, highly touted, la also due to report.

If he Is He good a pitcher as oe is a hitter he will make good. Joe Gleason, who has had more than his share of box work has a sore index finger but It will come around right In a few days. Kelly' bad finger was split by a wide pitch before the game started, leaving tha hospital squad it three as Casavant, with hla injured leg, wil not be out for a week.

"Luke McGluke Morris continues to bit the globule on tbe nose and his batting Is one of the features of the hkll River team's play.

Look 7-20-4 lQc Cigar. Thirty-nino 5 ea.fi' coriTmubciT Increased sale Tls its own story. Factory, lanchester, N. EL last fall, the Durfee-Tech team had won the first gams at Fall River by a 7-6 score, but were defeated 14-0 at Newport shortly afterwards.

In this game a forward pass was essayed by one of the Newport players. The ball went wild, went soaring out to tha line of spectators, one of whom atopped the throw, passed It on to one of th6 Rogers' runners, and a score resulted. In basketball last season, there vu also a merry time. Newport had everything their own way In the first half of the game, but In the eecond the Durfeeites returned strong and completely outclassed their opponent. With their team apparently facing defeat by a teany that had not the championship aspirations which were cherished by the visitors, the Rogers men who were acting as timers, blew their whistle shortly after Newport made the score 26-84 In their favor.

Rogers, on her part, claimed that she had received the worst of the deal In this encounter, alleging that on one occasion, Athletic Director William D. Morrison caught the ball and passed It on to Captain "Eddie Booth, who registered a score. The truth of this was that the Durfee athletic director wae sitting near the basket and when, on the occasion in question, a long pass came sailing straight for him he put up his hands and warded the ball off. Contrary to the claims of the Rogors' delegation, no score was made as a result of this play, as the referee Immediately sounded hie whistle and threw the ball up from the center of the floor. This Is the only alleged raw deal that the Newport papers have cited In commenting upon the action on the local school and even this Is without foundation.

But the unfriendliness in this line has not been directed especially at the school on the hill. Wellesley High, who were runner, nn 7e wno were runners-up ror the Cham- plonshlp of the Stats in last years banket hell eenenn a a a a(Mn. basketball season, had a very strenuous protest against the treatment 'hat they received when their team played at Newport last winter, and the Technical High school basketball team of this city received the rawest of deals befor they finally humbled the Newporters. Several lashes between players on both teams resulted during the contest, and the game almost ended In a tree tor all fight, when the crowd of spectators lining the floor attempted to "rough-house one of the Technical Players, until the Fall River delegation Interfered, end prevented any further hostilities Technical finally won the game, but they also had a breach with Uie Newport school. If tha Rogers' authorities had made a proper acknow ledgment of th unfairness which the Durfee team experienced, It la probable that th mat- ter would have been dropped, but as It stands the two schools will probably not meet for a long day, as the local school's case in the baseball gam Isst Wednesday was apparent to all who witnessed the game.

With two out in the last of ths ninth Inning, Joe" Me- Donough, who had been pitching a masterly game for th Fall River tgam had two strikes and three balls on the man at bat. McDonough plainly grooved th next ball over tbs plate, nearly fifty years we have been brewing ale. Nothing but ale. Ale only of the highest grade. Never a brew to meet competition in price.
