 that the police department andi mayor refuse to issue permits for boxing matches. Mayor Harrison IS rather non-committal in regard to the ques- ton. He said he would take no action in the matter one way or another .un- til the council had done something with the December resolution. He added: T have been petitioned by sey- eral promoters, but cannot act until the records have been cleared. l am thoroughly satisfied that if the game is allowed to go it vii be conducteld hon. estly and if it is not there will be an other and more thorough finish for it than there was before. It is my idea to place strong limit on the bouts and sanction only those of high class and not permit any of the little back room fights to proceed.

NEM CONNECTICUT GLIB.

Anew club for promoting boxing contests has been organized in Con necticut and the work of erecting a clubhouse at East Portchester, which is just over tee line, will be started in a few days. The first contest may be held in six weeks. Those conducting the new club are business men of South NorwallS, Stamford and East Portchester. They propose to hold two bouts each month and say that it is their intention to bid for the Ruhlin- Jeffries fight, provided the men have not already signed to box in San Fran cisco. Marty McCue, the east side fea- therweight is interested in the new club. He is slated as matchmaker and official referee. AIcCue would not dis cuss the plans of the proposed club He admitteds however, that a club was practically organized and saw no req son why bouts between well trained athletes could not be decided without interference in Connecticut, now that the anti-fght bill was turned down by the legislature. The persons inter- ested in the proposed club conducted q bout recently in East Portchester. and there was no interference.

The management has been to considerable expense to get to- gether men who will battle for all they are worth and when you see those con tests tonight you will say that you have seen some great work by clever men. Not one contest alone is worth your attention, but all of them, from the top to the bottom. 1t will proba- bly, be the last chance this season to see clever men box, and as the prices are reasonable there should be q big attendance.

WATERBURY, HORSTED AGAIN.
A Close Game in Which Bridge

Joe Herndon Twirls His First Game
 This Season-Haskell, the Short

 A Player Named Ruh1and Signed for

 Pitcher-Results of the Other Games.
 The first five innings of yesterdays game was a nip and tuck race to see who would keep in the lead. Disgust ed with trying out new pitchers, Man ager Connor put Joe Herndon in the box to try his hand. Herndon was in no more condition to pitch than was a man that never twirled a ball, yet he tried hard to get the ball over the plate, and he succeeded much better than any of his predecessors this sea- son. Waterbury batted hard enough to win, but somehow or other that mascot has not yet been found and probably will not be until the pitching department is in form.
 The game started off with Bridge port scoring two runs, after making only one single. Haskell had an off day and the first ball batted to him by Joe Began he fumbled. It was not costly, however, for Began was forced at second on Yale's hit to Haskell. O'Rourke then hit to second and here is where Cooney Best, the umpire, got in his work. Yale started for second and went five feet out of his way to slide under Hinchman on the base line. Hinchman claimed he touched him, and there were others who claimed the same thing, but he was al- lowed the bag even though he did go out of the line to get to second. Yale game in on Herndon's wild pitch, (while Jim O'Rourke took third. Rog- Iers then hit one to Haskell and Jim was nailed at the plate. Dougherty hammered a good hit and Rogers crossed the plate
 In our half We had a little fun. Weisbecker was safe on the third base mans error and Haskell advanced him on a sacrifice hit to first. Mccormick sent him home with q corking three, bagger to right. Roger walked free and Luskey struck out Troy, Hinch- man and Matthews then followed with singles and Herndon went out to first. This netted us four runs.
 Bridgeport made another in the sec ond on a single by Delaney. m error by Herndon, hit by the pitcher and an error by Connor. Waterbury was blan1zed in her half. Bridgeport scored two more. taking the lead in the third on single by DOugherty, force hit by Morgan, a two-bagger by. A'Haesy and single by Corcoran.
 We made one in the third. tying the score, on a single by Luskey< and an error of Delaney. Bridgeport again went to the front with one more in the fourth on a double by Rogers, a base on balls and a single by Morgan.
 We pushed to the front again in the fourth on a hit by the pitcher, singles by Haskell. Mccormick and Connor and an error of Dougherty in right field. There we were permitted to re- main, for Bridgeport went ahead of us in the fifth on single by Delaney, a sarcifice by Corcoran, a base on balls and hit by O'Rourke. There Bridge port stopped, too. for both pitchers set tied down to battle and sharp playing prevented any more scoring.
 The score and summary:

New York, May 9.-New York won out yesterday from Philadelphia by q splendid batting rally in the seventh inning. With two to tie the score in the ninth, Thomas went out, Delehanty and Flick hit safely, but Delehanty was caught going to third. Wolverton tripled, scoring Flick. The Philfes claimed that Wolverton's hit went out side the ropes, and that it therefore was home run. While the argument was going on in the center of the field Wolverton tried to sneak to the plate, but Ganzell tagged him out. Attend ance, 2.300. Score:
