new-
San Anlonio, Tex., March 15. As
a rule, a major league ball club Is
proud to boa.st having the leading
swat artist on the rosier. For to
top the parade in batting is the
height of ambition of every player.
But to have the two best hitters in
the league on tho same club i a
circumstance quite a bit out of the
ordinary.
That's just what the St.. Louis
Cardinals had in 1 925. Their man
ager and second baseman. Rogers
Hornsby, was the batting king; their
first baseman, Jim Bottomley, was
the runnerup. (Stuffy Molnnis of
the. Pirates finished second but was
only in a comparatively few game.)
Hornsby, as you doubtless know,
liar, led the National league in hit
ting six straight seasons. He hit
.403 last year. Bottomley, for a
good portion of the chase, gave his
boss a. tough baltl", finally winding
up with a mark of . 3 T. With
Hornsby and Bottomley in the fame,
batllefront, opposing hurlers have
their work cut out for them facing
the Cardinals. These two "Big
Berthas" are apt to break up the
old ball game at any moment.
Y. H. C. A. Quintet Takes Hard
Battle From Visiting Five
What louked to be an easy victory
for New Britain after ten mlnules
or play In the first, period, when
they wire leading 15 to 2, turned
out. to he a real battle in the second
stanza in the game with th Green
wich Y. M. C. A. tram at the "Y"
gymn Saturday night.
Tho game from start to finish be
tween tliein being not of the best,
Clifford and Ponaldson got the
nhowers via the four personal foul
route. . The contest was marred
somewhat by the attitude of the vis
iting players, who persistently quib
bled over decisions.
Four technical fouls wero "called
on the Greenwich players for talk
ing to the referee and Coach Mor
gan of the visitors was caught early
In the game coaching from tho side
lines. After Joe Luko caged tho
free try on this violation nothing
more was heard from that quarter.
For New Britain, "Chief" Larson.
Hjerpe, J.uko and Saxo each had
three personals and things did not
look any too good for the local
team.
New Britain outplayed the Green
wich tram in the first half, playing
an excellent defensive game when
necessary and working tho offensive
plays neatly for points, but in the
second half Greenwich tightened up
the guardwork and the locals' team
work slowed up. They lost many
opportunities to score. Greenwich
played the better gam;i In the sec
ond half. but. lost it through com
mitting fouls.
Holes and Anderson starred for
tho visitors, H.lerpe, Saxe and Luko
for New Britain. Fifteen personal
fouls were called on New Britain
and 13 on Greenwich. New Britain
raged 10 out of 23 shots from the
free throw stripe and Greenwich
scored eight out of IG tries. The

ILL WITH PNEUMONIA
Berlin. March 15.- . Former
Chancellor Konstantln Fehren-Baeh,
who has been ill of pneumonia for
jome weeks, was reported today to
be sinking. He observed his 74tli
birthday on January 11.
Th National Guards basketball
team took a wild and woolly game
from the All-.Middletown quintet
Saturday night at the Btate armory
by the scorn of 3ft to 30, Both teams
started off playing a whirlwind
biund of basketball with the Guards
displaying an excellent passing game
and a snappy defense. Mlddlelown
was minus tho services of Sturm and
Carlson at the start of the game, but
"Butsy" strolled in a short tlmo
after ond managed to get into tho
game just before tho end of the llrst
half.
An individual battlo was staged
between Mort Taylor and "Dutch"
Leonard on the floor following a
tumble by Leonard over Taylor's
back, lent spice to the game for tho
majority of the fans and a number
of them hopped onto the Middle
town guard and made him the sub
ject, of boos and catcalls for his
method of play. He held Taylor to
two field goals and helped himself to
four of them before ho went out of
the contest in the second half on
four personal fouls. Sturm, entering
tho gamo near the close of the first
session, quickly had three fouls
called on him and several technicals
for talking back to the referee.
Johnny Sheehan took a walk also
on four personals while Kllduff and
Reynolds both had three and stayed
in the game by careful playing.
Reynolds caged two field goals to
start the gamo going and for a, time
it looked as it the Guards would
have an easy time of it. Then Mid
dletown got in some good work and
closed the gap in the scoring column
somewhat until at the end of the
first half the count stood 25 to 16 for
New Britain. Through good playing
and minding basketball, the Guards
overcame their one bad falling, that
of the skids in tho start of the sec
ond half and despite the fact that
the. Middletown tossers found the.
basket quite often, the Guards pull
ed out ahead with a nine point
margin for the game. At times, In
tho second half, the contest looked
like a football game, there were so
many on the floor. All tho New
Britain team put In a good night.
Reynolds working to perfection both
at forward and at center. Glrallls
showed a world of speed on the.
floor. Were it not for the fact that.
Leonard seemed to lose his head, his
work would have shone for the los
ing team.
rir. t naif
Reynolds was hacked as he was
shooting and he made his two free
tries good, scoring the first point at
the 55 second mark. Restelli follow,
ed him with a pretty field goal at
the two minute mark. Taylor caged
a nifty shot over Leonard's shoulder.
Leonard then started things for
Middletown when the clock read
3:20, caging a nice goal from near
the center of tho floor. Reynolds
stood three feet from tho basket and
with the entire Middletown team
looking at him, sank the ball clear
through the hoop. Taylor made it
nine on a free toss.
Giraitis got Middletown's second
basket from the side, on a pretty
dribble play coming the entire
length of the floor. He added a
point, on a foul shot and followed
with another pretty basket. Taylor
got. another free toss and made It
10. Leonard followed him with a
pretty field basket, that caromed off
the back board through the hoop.
At. this point, New Britain put In
a fine spurt. Restelli got a pretty
pass from Reynolds and sank thu
shot. Reynolds then took one from
Restelli and dropped it In. Restelli
whirled around on a triple pass to
Shei'han utid back and the local
center sank another two counter. Ho
caged a. point from tho compli
mentary stripe when fouled by
Keating. Kildult then came down
the. floor and on a pretty throw from
Taylor landed one through the hoop.
Sheehan came in on n. pretty play
to sink another and Taylor inadu It
22 on a free throw.
Keating heaved a free toss
through tho ring and Leonard got
bis third goal from the center of tho
floor. MeCaVie and Keating both
sank free tries for 14. Sheehan
Worked a pretty shift pass to get
under tho basket and hi. shot was
good. Taylor made It 25 with a free
toss and Keating scored a Held goal
just as the whistle blow leaving tho
score at the end of tho first half 25
to 16 in favor of New Britain.
Second Half
Kilduff started the second half
with a free toss. Shcehnn followed
with a field goal and added a point
on a free toss making it 28. McCnbe
scored a free toss and to did Giraitis
and McCahe's field goal made It 20.
Reynolds got away clear for a shot
and the ball went clean through for
30. Hero Middletown put in a spurt.
Leonard got another side court, shot.
McCnbo followed, with a pretty
double decker. Keating made a free
