Bridgeport, Aug 19.-Bridgeport captured a double-header from Hol- yoke yesterday afternoon in contests that were full of snap and good plays. The visitors had shade the best of the argument in both games in batting and fielding. but the Bridgeport pitch CTS excelled in the box. In the first game Bridgeport won her game in the fifth inning by punching hits and got five runs. The visitors were unable to overcome the lead. The second game was hard played by both sides. Mccormick was put out of the game in the fourth inning. Ramon. who was on third. attempted 10 come in or A hit to center. Ladd threw the bah to Beaumont. which landed directly in front of the plate. Beaumont fell on his knees to get the ball and Ban non turned a somersault over him. Be fore Ramon could recover Beaumont touched him and Hornung declared him out.

 This coming fall and winter" Both. her writes, T intend to do lot O. wrestling. I had made up my mind to quit the mat for good and devote mv self exclusively to my business, which is a good one. But as. long as thert is chance to get the money and, inci- dentally, prove to the public that 1 am a champion, will not overlook any matches. There is no truth in the re- port that I am afraid of Wiley. In my long career before the public have never hesitated to meet anyone who thought he could beat me. And do not care to start now by refusing al ' one match who is capable of giving the lovers of wrestling the full return for their mQney,. Although I was da.- feated by Eugene Tremblay of Mon- treal. am still the lightweight cham pion. This bout was not at the light weight scale. We wrestled at 135 pounds, whereas I can get to 133 pounds without much trouble. I de- feated Tremblay at the proper weight, and can do 50 again if he will agree to a return match. As to Wiley, will arrange match at once. Let his man. ager. Harvey Parker, post forfeit and it will be covered in hurry. I think that match between myself and Wiley would draw well in New York. But will not be ready to meet him until the cold weather sets in."

NOT FOR POWERS.

Pat Powers denies that he wants to become president of the National league.
 T have never given thought to the matter of becoming president of the National league" says the pres- dent of the Eastern league, ''and would not accept the position if it were offered me for the reason tlYit am interested in other enterprises that can not be made subservient to baseball. And what does the National league want with another president, anyway? In my opinion that circuit has never had so able a man at its head as Harry Pulliam, and there is no reason whatever for even consider ing change. 1 can't see how the Ma tional league could improve upon Mir Pulliam. and I feel certain that mis- take would be made if he were allow ed to discontinue in his present of flee"
 It will be recalled that Mir Pulliam was quoted some weeks ago as saying that he was not certain of one vote among the National league magnates for reelection next fall. and that, at the time, Mir Powers was mentioned as a possible candidate to succeed him, provided MT Pulliam's canvass proved failure. Since then no otbel name has been brought forth for the office, and with Mir Powers out of the running it looks as though Mir Pull liam had the inside track for the office for next year.

as he was rushing past Neary, and three times Weary went down from the force of his own rushes. The lss! time Herman politely assisted him 10 rise.
 The first round was an even thing In the second Herman's cleverness in ducking away from Neary's rushes gave him the advantage, which he in creased in each round up to the sev- enth, and the eighth was a pretty even affair, though Herman had shade on cleverness. The ninth was clearly Neary's, and the tenth was again Her. mans. Neary received bloody nose in the second round, which Herman hammered all through the remainder of the fight, keeping it leaking to the end.

BICYCLING
PREPARING FOR RACES
 WITH THE FAST ONES

Hugh McLain and Will Stilson are to furnish the big feature of next Mon- day nights national circuit champion ship cycle races at Madison Square Garden. McLain rode a motor paced race against Floyd Mcfarland at the initial meeting of the summer season, and showed he was in his old time championship form, by defeating his lanky opponent in handy style.
 In StinsOn, McLain will meet mo- tOr-pace followers who, when in per feet condition, can show his heels to the best of them. The distance of this race, like all other motor paced events at the Garden, will be ten miles, but an innovation will be introduced in the method of running the race by hay ing both men start from the same mark. instead of going away from op- posite sides of the track.
 The wonderful success that has at tended these midsummer indoor meets has encouraged the management to bring about a match race between the three greatest short distance riders in the world, Frank Kramer, Willie Fenn and Iver Lawson. These three stars are to meet in series of matches the first of which will probably be put on next Thursday. The dates, however, will be announced later.
 In addition to the motor race next Monday night there will he two other professional events. one-mile handi- cap and one mile championship. The latter event, of course. will witness a renewal of the fight for honors be- tween the fast bunch of professionals who met in the great twenty-mile event that was won last Thursday night at the Garden by Iver Lawson. In addition to these there will be three amateur races.

 YESTERDAY
Springfield Pulls a Game Out of the Fire - New Haven Won Two and Holyoke Lost Two.

Hartford, Aug 19.-An expectant gathering of Friday afternoon patrons of the great American pastime saw the Hartfords drop one to the Ponies yes terday. It took the locals long time to come to life, and meanwhile the sluggers from Massachusetts hit the ball hard enough to score four times. The bats were oiled up ill the seventh when two runs came in,' and a grand rally in the last round made things look promising. Failure to send Doran to bat for Foxen, when there were two on bases and only one out, probably lost the game, for neither Foxen nor zOReilly could help the cause at all. Just why this was not done would make hard work for Russian court of inquiry. An outfeld fly would have tied the score. The score:

WEBB BJAYTERRIBLY HURT
Auto Racer Ruus Into . Fenee e
 Buffalo Track.

Buffalo, Aug 19.--Crowding his rac- ing car Whisting Billy to its utmost to catch Herbert Lyttle and Charles BurInan, who had passed him in the ten mile race at the Wentworth track yesterday afternoon, Webb Jay of Cleveland went into the fence on the stretch turn.
 Nine of his ribs were broken, his thigh was smashed, his head was cut and a lung punctured by a broken rib. The left side of his body was g crushed in that air from the lung lay beneath the skin.
 The racing car when it hit the fence broke two posts, rebounded and then struck the fence twenty fet further on. carrying away thirty feet of paneling. Then it ran down q steep embankment and crashed into shallow pool.
 Jay would have drowned had not a spectator been close at hand to drag him from the water. An amhulanco was called and the injured man sent to hospital. He has a slight chance for life.
 It was the fourth mile of the race and the other two drivers continued the race for four miles more before they heard of the accident. Then the race was called of.
 The race was the last on the card. The men got of together with Jay in the lead. Jay gradually fell back and the others took up the pace On the backstreteh of the fourth mife pe- culiar whistling sound was heard.
 That's Webb Jay putting the forced draft on whistling Billy.- said Referes Temple. Then some one shouted and a shudder went through the 5.ssU spec. tatcrs as they saw the man. going d a mile minute. take the fence. Hun dreds poured out into the track and ie was only by severe methods that the police kept the road clear for the whirling speeders riding along uncour scious of the accident to their competl. | tor.
 Earlier in the day Barney Old6eId drove five miles. doing one mile iu II 3-5 and the full course in 4s41 3-3 Both times are supposed to be records for a running track.

New Haven, Aug 19.-NOrwich passed pleasant day at Sayin Rock yesterday and incidentally dropped two games to New Haven, both Of which the home team earned. The scores were to 0 and to l.
 In the first game Tom Tuckey estab- lished a record for himself, which has been equalled this season only Dy Long of New London, i'll recent game with the New Haven team. In nine innings Tuckey allowed not hit or a run and struck out six men. His pitching was the best seen here this season and the support given him by all of the members of the team de- serves special mention. Only two Nor wich men saw first base during the entire game.
 Burke, the left fielder secured from Meriden, also distinguished himself in this game. Plunkett knocked long drive toward the left field fence. Burke ran along the side of the fence and as the ball dropped only a few inches from the boards, caught 1t ill his ungloved hand. It was the most difficult catch ever seen at Savin Rock.
 Phil Corcoran worked well In the second game and struck out five men. He gave only one pass and was effec- tive at all times. The scores:

Since entering the ring, in 1896, Battling Nelson has fought seventy battles. Of these he has been return ed the victor on forty-One occasions, having an envlable record of knock outs in his earlier fights. Nine times he has taken the short end of the purse, and has fought eleven draws. It was in his fight with Spider Welch at Salt Lake City, when he beat that lad in sixteen rounds that his aspira- tions for championship honors first took a serious turn. This was in April of 1904. He next won from Martin Canole in Frisco in eighteen rounds. This was in May, 1904, and two months later he beat Eddie Han lon down ill nineteen rounds. Then he fought Aurelo Herrera in Butte, and won the decision, returning 10 San Francisco and defeating 1ouhs Corbett in ten rounds.
 In December of last year, after grueling fight, the Dane went down to defeat at the hands of Jimmy britt who was given the decision. Nelson then tried his hand in the six-round bouts on this side of >the Rockies, where he battled first with Jack O'Neil who managed to last the six rounds. Abe Attell was the next opponent, and the contest went the six rounds without a decision. Kid Sullivan or Baltimore also stayed six rounds.
 In his professional career Jimmy Britt has fought fourteen contests. In this list of fights he has lost but twice. and each of these times on foul-once to Jack O'Keefe at Port land, Ore. and once to Joe Cans Tn Frisco. His first fight out or Olym- pic club circles was with Toby lrwin carly in the year 1902.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.
Track Record at POughkeepsie Bro
 ken For Third Time.


 POUGHKEEPSIE, N. r., Aug. 19.- Horsemen who have followed the grand circuit are of the opinion that the races at the Hudson River Driving park were the best of the season.
 The three heats of the 2.06 pace, one in 2:04 and the others in 2:04a4, consti- tuted the three fastest heats on the grand circuit this season. They also lowered the pacing record of the track.
 For the third time this week the trot- ting race record of the track was bro- ken, the new mark of 2:06A being made by Tiverton in the free for all. This race, the most important of the meeting, brought out the grand circuit rivals, Tiverton and Sweet Marie, with George G. and Mckinley. Sweet Ma rie was made favorite in the pool sell. ing at S100, with Tiverton for $IO and the field for S25. Tiverton won both heats, Sweet Marie breaking badly in the first on the back stretch and again in the second at the three-quarters.
 Only one favorite was successful in getting first money. That was in the 2:24 trot. in which Albert C. was fa- vorite at s25 to sl5 for the field. The favorite was not good enough for the first two heats. which went to Gate way, but Albert C. got his gait in the third and won thereafter the required heats, every one of which had an excit- ing finish between the place winners
 Frank Yokum was favorite in the 2:06 pace at S25 to SIP and won one of three very close heats, but Baron Grat- ton showed the better speed by small margins in the first and third heats.
 Lizzie G. was favorite at S25 to S11. She was good second in three straight heats of the 2:1S trot.
