Springfield Swept Bridge port Away From First Place Yesterday - Other Connecticut Results.

Springfield, May A. Springfield made grand showing yesterday in downing Bridgeport 8 to 1. The game was fast and the speed with which the Ponies travelled kept the Orators on their toes throughout. The crowd followed the keen work with enthusi- asm and the winners got frequent ap- plause for splendid team work and all- around cleverness.
 For the third time this week the Springfield hits went into double fig- ures, the Ponies getting II hits. By some clever base running and timely hitting two runs came to the Ponies ip determined the efforts thereafter, Bridgeport couldn't surpass the score of Springfield
 Seven of the II hits by the Ponies were gained by the four men at the top of the list Tansey got one in the firt. when 1t counted. Capt. Fitzpat- rick, in three chances, got two beauti- ful safeties. Altizer and Flanagan each got a pair of safe ones. Tom Crook, too, was strong in batting and the fielding display by the first base man was fine
 Altizer chased behind second base for drive and by remarkable one hand stop, broke down the supposed swat and turned 1t into an out at first. Goldie Bowler's pitching was superb. The half-dozen hits made by Bridge port were strewn through the nine in- nings in a way which did not make the batting appear overprOductiye of runs. Hi Ladd, with a double and a single. and Cornen. the big pitcher, with a pair of safeties, were the only Bridgeport men to get more than one safety.
 One of the features of the day was the first-base work of O'Dell the pitch CT and spare infielder. O'Dell replaced Bill Yale. whose father has recently Aed. and accepted 15 chances. Wide throws were taken readily and in other ways the utility man gave fine display of bagwork. The score:

MONK" THE NEwsBoY.

Providence, May 4.-"Monk the Newsboy" and Eddie Jansen will meet in twenty-round bout at Scituate. Monday, May Is, for the bantam weight championship of the state. The little fellows have agreed to make 11S pounds at o'clock. There will be one preliminary of ten rounds, bringing to- gether Jimmie Buckley and Jack Mur- phy at catch weights.
 BOgardus Hyde has been matched with Sam Langford for atwelre round bout at Webster, Mass, in the Lakeside Athletic club on Monday, May 22- There will be preliminary of ten rounds between Hughey Clancy and Emergency" Kelly.
 In Langford, Hyde meets one of the best boys at his weight in New Eng land. Should he stay the limit with this boy it is the intention of his man. ager, Eddie Moore. to send him out to get some of the big ones. The bout be tween Clancy and Kelly should be one to satisfy the most exacting critics. These boys met twice before and put up excellent contests.

SOME FIGHT NOTES.

George Gardner was laid on the shelf by Mike Schreck, and Hugo Kelly trimmed Jack OBriep. At that rate ROjestvensky looks like good bet There is hitch in the Sullivan Mitchell fight agreement. sullivan Is sticking out for Bill Bradburn as ref cree and White wants Jem Mace.
 It is now claimed that Jeffries was never boilermaker. It seems rude to knock tradition in this manner. Hun dreds of boilermakers have been pa- tiently riyeting away, hoping they might some day become like Jeffries.
 John L. Sullivan says he will knock out Joe Grim or give him both the money and the glory. John evidently imagines there would be large punches of both.

' Haxtford, May 4-New London de feated Hartford in an interesting game yesterday by the score of 3 to 2. Two doubles, poor throw by Foxen and the squeeze play gave the Whalers three runs in the fourth. A base on balls, Gastmeyer's double and a low throw to the plate by Curtis gave Hart ford two runs in the seventh. New London could do nothing with Luyster except in the fourth. Curtis made a fine stop In the sixth when the bases were filled and 1t practically saved the game for his side. Attendance, 800. The score by innings:

BASEBALL NOTES.

Jack Sheriden says this will be his last season as an umpire. And now along comes Hans Wagner and says Chick Fraser discovered the spit ball.
 In five out of the last six games Griffith has had to use two or more pitchers to game.
 Nothing has so tickled Danaher of late as the assertion in a SpringLeld newspaper that, personally. he is not known in Springfield. He thinks oth. i erwise.
 The man who said that Frank Fitz- patrick couldn't hit under any condi- tions was hanging his head in shame last night. F'itz walloped beautifully and showed his qualities as a leader, too.
 Bennie Cassidy, the outfielder who made sad mess of playing the out field for Springfield last season, is a big fayorite with the Lynn New Eng- land league team and he is playing finely.
 Heine Batch has batted for .2i1 and Red Owens for only .1s9 with the Brooklyn Nationals. In fielding Batch has made three errors m g. chances and has percentage of .9l9. Owens has fielded for .Ssi.
 Pitcher Clarence Quinn of New Ha- ven got terrible pumping at Nor wich. Here's q young man who doesn't seem to care whether he loses or wins so long as he has a chance to get money as a pitcher.
 Frank Selee.- says the Washington Star. thinks New York. Chicago and Cincinnati will fight It out for the Ma tional league pennant- Frank should have stopped two towns sooner. and he wouldn't have been far wrong
 Anyhow, Manager Frysinger keeps a stin upper lip. despite the failure of the Holyoke team to fulfill the expec- tations of the fans around the circuit. other clubs have started last and finished first. and history oft repeats itself.
 The Lowell Citizen says that Nashua has a prize in George Henry. The Springfield mans throwing caught the eye of this critic and his batting the attention of another. % George sp- pears to be well provided for in the New England league.
 How 1t must grate on Hayward and Golden and Iope 10 be obliged to par tscipate in such a game ss that be- tween New Haven and Norwich yesser- day. Evidently. Quinn Is even worse than be was last year, when he was q burden to the New Haven hopesuls.

iA- szB 11s-si GREAT TRACK RACING.
TWsnty.6vs Meetings SeAe1uled for
 Coming Season.

There will be plenty of automobile racing in the vicinity of New York during the present season, for the tracks at Morris Park, Empire City and Brighton Beach have made appli- cations for twenty-five race meets, be- ginning May 6 and ending on October 8. It is believed that with the great increase in the number of machines. the inclination of the average motorist to travel as fast as possible. and the fact that speeding on the roads is gen. erally prohibited, these meetings will be a success. Aside from the speed contests between various types of cars there will be special contests with a view of proving the best machines for various purposes. and at various prices.
 A meeting of those interested result cd in an amicable arrangement of dates and applications for them has been made to Chairman Morrell Of the A. A. A. racing board.
 There will be nine meets at Morris Park. beginning May %: eight meets at Brighton Beach, which opens on May G. and eight meetings at Empire City track. beginning on Decoration day. Each track receives a holiday. Empire City getting May 9. Morris Park taking July 4. and Labor day going to Brighton Beach.
