Baseball Summary AMERICA LEAGUE Rain Prevented Fans From Enjoying Sunday Baseball Industrial Contests OnSaturday Afternoon Only Sport Within City limits For Diamond De-: votees Siring Up the First Competitors (fiy GUS T. STAHL) Baseball fane fared badly over the week-end when Jupiter Pulviue smeared the earth with his watery chariot. The Caseys had the biggest attraction in the City, but were forced to cancel.

Manager Mumhlo had his team in tact had to call things off, when the weather continued to remain cold and rainy. Kennedys team and rooters were about to shove off when word was reeeived that it waa reining hard up the 8tate. The All Htare will play the Colonials the last week in June. Manager Brophy had the beet team he ever put on the field, ready for action, and waa sorely disappointed in having the game called. At Caryl Field, the Irwin Pott team played through the rain, but lost to Dm Greenwich Village nine, by the core 8 6.

Many local fans have be come ardent followers of the River' dale squad, turning out no matter what kind, of weather prevails. The south side players found themselves in a harden game than was expected, but due to the loss of I couple of their player, were Unable to give their opponents any closer battle. Manager Tom Bryden re-booked the Villagers for a later date. On Saturday afternoon, the Indus' trial League gamea held sway. At Pel ton Field, the Nationals settled their claim with the Habirshaws, by easily defeating them by the score 130, while at the Glen a comedy game was inacted between the Feds and Otis team', ending in the score in favor of the Sugmra The former rhamplpoe stood up and took their heating as bravely as any club ever did, but this will not add to the inter-cst of the league.

Unless Dm Otis team can greatly improve, they will likely be taiienders, subject to the rebuffs of every- other team in the league. Eddie Campion look like the tar of the Hahirshaws. While be has not reached hie beet twirling form, hie all-around work, held the Glen wood from further punishment at the hands of the Nationals. Manager Moor wae smiling through this game, perhaps realising that the lose of a few of hie atar players did not do any real damage. The Electrics and Westchester Light ing teami will make their debut next Raturday.

Unless they can show some decided form the kagua looks to ho rather unevenly balanced. The Na tionals and Federate are the -only two of four teama seen in action, that look to be able to go through tha schedule Both games oa Saturday ware but better ball games will be needed to hold the interest of the general public in thia Industrial well-attended, Uit nAtioml open, and II. Cox oflptri( Hndrmiliniated a manhle allot at Anyone mining the 111 game at King Sing Friaon on Saturday, between that clever aggregation of play, era, called, the Lowerre Baseball Club anil the equally clever Mutual Welfare. League team' nf. King Sing Prison, missed the fineat, cleaueit-played game of ball played thia year the famous prison on the Hudson, ending inr favor of the Mutual by the acore 32.

The Lowerre team -bit off a big chunk when they eaaayed to stamp out the winning atreak of the League team. They deaerre a wonderful lot of praiae for their sterling eff otflt-tliat would have resulted in complete fueceu, but for one miatake-the diahing up of a alow hall to the moat conaiatent, dangeroua hitter of the in-aide team. Branch, the flrat baaeman of the intra-mural team, leada Jiia team thia year and laat year in hatting with the higheat percentage of home rune (over the priaon walla) of hny of the insiders. Plunkett made the 'fatal mistake, in the eighth inning when the acore atood 21 in favor of the Y.onker team, in aending up a alow, eaay pitch the kind that Branch alwaya alama over the walla and the game waa eaay for the. inaidera after that.

Palla, for the inaidera only voueh-aafed one hit earh in the ilrat and second inninga, and no more until the aerentli when on a double by Pfau a life to Hikon on Monrhana fumble of hia' grounder, Law, the catcher for the Lowerre Imys" came through with a corking aingle (after Edwards aent a long -fly to deep renter) and Pfau and Hilaon scored easily, chalking up the flrat two and what subsequently proved to lie the only rung for the Lowerre players. In the eighth after Papin flird to the infleld, White fanned and M. Simpson rammed a triple into deep right, only to he left stranded when beat waa a grounder to Kopf at short who easily threw him out to first bale. In their first half of the ninth, the Lowerres, despite the fact that they had only collected five hits, all tola, off of Falls. found themaelvea facing the crack pitcher of the Leaguers who were taking no more chances after fhe clever brand of ball played by the Yonkers boys.

1 For the Lowerres it must be said tliat Tommy Plunkett pitched a remarkable. heady game of ball. He was cool as ire throughout the game and never once waa be rattled when the insiders threatened. In the pinches and be allowed himself to get into very r.w be used big league judgment and i "a strategy was the masterpiece. It a1 the consensus at King King that i pitched the finest game of ball seen here thia year and by far ss good as any game played on Major 1 -awes field last year.

For instance: Only three men faced him in the first, 'four in the second, five in the I bird, six in the fourth, four in the fifth, three, in the aixth, five in the seventh innings and all he permitted them was seven scattered hits, the insiders living only able to acore in the fourth when Branch and Motto doubled in a row. Branch scoring on Motto's blow, the latter being left stranded by Plunketts clever, heady pitching. Plunkett's ld inning came in the eighth, with two strikes on Branch, llieinsiders' first baseman, he sent up that easy one. Branch lifted it over the wall for a homer ynd then Motto came lirk at him with another double. Dougherty sent a' king fly to Hilaon that was easily eaught, then he walked O'Ham.

hut Murray, sent in to bat for Munyhan sent a sacrifice fly to I I ilium, advancing Motto to third whereupon, the score heing tied by Branch's homer and the I-eaguers needing that run perched on third real puidlv, they promptly sent In their pitching southpaw are to hat for rnita and Plunkett, facing this lefthanded tatter for the first time in the hung momentarily, and finally fed him the tall lie wanted- It crashed out as a single and the winning run wae in. Kates, now pitidling for Palla. In the ninth fanned Pfau and Hilaon and forced Ward, tatting for Edwards, to ground easily to Murray, who threw him out to Branch. Although Die Leaguers gleaned ten bite off Plunkett, he fanned five of tliem their lead off man two- kept them well scattered the three bunched in the eighth spelling hie undoing.

Wet grounds roused tha game scheduled for La veils Field 281th Street, Riverdala, last Sunday to bs called off. Both teama ware disappointed, ae extensive arrangements had been made to open the season in first class manner.

The Holy Eucharist playere are on edge to get started ia the league, and the game being called off Sunday, came i a disappointment to them. With the Rt. John team as its opponent, Die Holy Eucharist team will nave to show" soma fast going to take tha measure of the boy from Kingq-bridge. The Rt. Jerome team is one of the most dangerous teams in the Bronx Division of the league and their chances for copping flrat place are big.

The local entry to the league will not go to NcCoomba field to ho defeated, for Captain Gene Lenihan will Sit a strong combination on tho field. will cover the initial sack, and should atop anything that come hie way. Lenihan is a former high school tar and la well-known in Yonkers John Conway will taka care of second base and it it hard to find a better little caretaker of the keystone each than Conway. Joe Lenihan will play short stop, and it will taka a lot of wavy hitting lo get the inhere past this sturdy fielder. He ha been seen in action with teevral local team In Dm past.

Jack Griffin, former high school player nf note, will endeavor to atop Dm halls hit to tjie hot corner. Griffin ia also a wirier with a lot of smoke, and should he lie needed, will go into the box. lere Newman will do the bulk of the catching in tha gam Kunday, and should anything happen to him, Kd Ilnnlihan will atrp in and taka hia place.

The outfield poets will be covered by Dennison, left field; Ray Carry, former high school player, centra field; and Ed Hoollhan, riant field. George Gallagher and Jon Hoolihan will be ready to cover on of tha outfield posts. Joa Lipeett will probably be on hand and get chance at on of tho infield positions. In tha two games that tba Holy Euchariet playere have participated iff, with the Buccaneers and the Mount Carmel Catholic Club team, they have shown soma heavy hitting, practically every player getting at mat one hit In both gamea The hitting of the team ought to go a long way toward putting it in tha front of tha league.
