THE DIAMOND
DONE WE WERE AND WELL DONE
Eddie Farley Knocked Out of the Box-Resuts of All Other
 Games.

Eddie Farley pulled oil the slab in the middle of the fourth inning, tells the whole story of that defeat in it. self. It was strange thing to hap pen but there was no other course to pursue for after that first inning when Holyoke played tag with our chances for the pennant, Farley seemed to grow worse instead of bet ter. It was so different from the games he used to twirl that the fans looked at each other in amazement and asked each other what was the trouble. Once or twice he showed the old Farley arm and spirit but those few occasions were lost or for gotten in the times he did not show them. There is but little to be said about the game only that Holyoke slammed the ball in those first four innings hard enough to make the fans weary and the players tired. Four they scored in the first, one in the third and four in the fourth. It was when Farley had been hit for two singles. had given two free passes and made the most absurd kind of a throw to third that he was told to rest quietly on the bench and Lefty" Bill Rogers was taken on. The dam- age was done however and while Holyoke scored but one more run in the game, we ourselves could get but two over the home station in the nine innings, for Stackpole refused to be hit. The score:

What struck Eddie Farley?

What struck Eddie Farley? The bats of the Holyokes is the answer.
 Springfield will appear here no more after to-day but Holyoke will return on two occasions.
 There was plenty of money around yesterday to bet on the Holyokes and many people asked the question why this was so.
 Moore and Bastian had two star catches out in the outfleld yesterday and were given the glad hand. There had to be something to enthuse over in such rout as that proved to be.
 The pennant is still far from us and we may have to fight for second position. Dan o'Neil says that Holy oke would be lonesome if she did not have her sister city up alongside of her and therefore he will pull Water bury out of her second berth.

THE PUGILISTS
BIG BATTLES
 FOR BRIDGEPORT
State Lovers of Pugilism Will Get a Whole Lot It -- Other
 Fights.

Jimmy Barry and Jack Blackburn are matched to box six rounds in Bridgeport on Labor day night under the auspices of the Savoy Athletic club. Barry is the young Montana heavyweight who was for nine months with John L. Sullivan as his sparring partner. He is now under tho management of George Downing of Bridgeport, particular friend of Sullivan's, and 1t looks very much as if Sullivan and Downing had combin- ed to make champion of Barry If the stuff is in him. Sullivan declares that he thinks Barry is the most promising of the whole bunch of young heavies now boxing and surely Sullivan ought to know the ear marks of promising mitt artist.
 This match with Blackburn came about in rather interesting way. One day Barry went over to Sailor Burke's training quarters at Captain Bonds in Stratford and asked Burke to give him 6 match. Burke is train ing to meet Jack Johnson in Bridge port on September 12. Burke beat about the bush a good while but hn- ally ended by telling Barry to go and get reputation. Barry knew that Jack Blackburn had defeated Sailor Burke in New York not long ago and he immediately came to the conclu- ion that if he could get match with Jack Blackburn and defeat him then that would be a sufficient reputation to force Burke into giving him a match. And so the match was made. Barry realizes that he must make good with Blackburn or the bout with Burke won't come to head. Barry and Blackburn met last July in Phil- adelphia and had the hottest kind of six round bout. It was about an even thing. Now Barry believes that he can decisively defeat Blackburn. Blackburn Is a very clever man and has defense that has bothered the best men to penetrate. He has de- cision over Joe Cans.
 Tn addition to the star bout there will be couple of first rate prelims and an entire evening of first rate boxing.
 Following the return of Bill squires to San Francisco and the starting of his training at Shannon's quarters, near San Rafael, word has been re- ceived by cable from Australia that bookmaker Jack Wreen will back him to the extent of 5000 in another match. Jimmy Coffroth wants to send Squires against the victor in the Schreck-Kaufman go.
 Squires seems to have profited by his stay in lumber camps and return ed tanned and sturdy looking He announces that if be can secure an- other match he will challenge Burns once more. Both Kaufman and Schreck have also announced their h. 'tentior of going after Tommy. .
 Coffroth says that he will put Squires on with the winner of the Schreck- Kaufman go September 21. Jim Flynn of Pueblo, is laying claims to chance and word has been received that Jack Twin) Sullivan has started west.
 Joe Cans has been working steadily at Crolfs gardens, near Almeda, and said that he was already down to 13a pounds. His appearance bears out this statement. Britt has departed for a final week of training at Harblu Springs, and has taken up the moun-

And here is still another penned by an artist and a promoter who knows whereof he speaks. It breathes de- fisnce to another friend of Ed O'Con- nell's and certainly sets the water boiling to high degree:
 Waterbury, Aug. 2T. 1907. Sporting Editor Waterbury Democrat:
 In behalf of Chic Lawson of Nauga- tuck, I wish to issue a challenge to Izzy Winters of New Haven to meet Lawson on the mat at 120 pounds. Lawson will wrestle for any part of s200 but would rather bet that amount right otf the reel. He will also agree to meet any other man who will weigh from 1l2 to ll5 pounds and will bet the same amount he can beat him. First come, first served. but Winters is preferred if he cares to accept. the challenge. I will cover any forfeit that may be placed in any persons hands and the sooner this challenge is accepted, the better 1t will suit me.
 Respectfully,
 MANAGER OF CHIC LAWSON.

THE AVERAGES.
Sid Challenger Tells His Little
 Story.

Frank Burke kept up his hard hit ting and is still the leader of the league. although playing but few games. Rising remains the rightful leader, although he continues to fall of. Ladd made another tumble. too, losing six points. Yale continued his hard hitting up to Saturday. His run of welting was about the best of the season for eleven games. as he made twenty-one safe drives. Hayward of New Haven is another player who is finding the ball in ele- gant style.
 There was some falling of from the list and only twelve remain to- day. against sixteen a week ago. The men who fell by the wayside are o'Rourke of Bridgeport, Connor and Luby of Springfield, and Pastor nf Norufrh Here fs fha Hat.

 Squires has been trying to get Billy Delaney to handle him and to get Spider Kelly as second and adviser. Delaney Is handling Kaufman at pres ent, but probably will take charge of Squires in case Schreck wins. f : The sportsmen of Frisco are be- ginning to stir in their sleep as the date of the Gans-Britt fight draws near, and some small wngers are ai- ready being laid, the privilege orders making Cans the favorite at to 5. In some cases [ to 10 is the quota tion, but naturally the other is more popular. These odds will without doubt be hammered down as soon as any big money makes it's appearance, the bets so far bsing only s2. S or s10.
 Neither of the fighters has as yet put up a bet. but Britt is expected to wager the larger sum, as Cans money is tied up in real estate in Balti- more.
