BRIDGEPORT SUNDAY BASEBALL.
Mayor Reynolds Endorses Action of
 Aldermen.

Bridgeport, March g. Mayor Reynolds signed the report of the miscellaneous committee and en- dorsed the action of the board of aI- dermen in putting itself on record as favoring Sunday baseball, and other recreations.
 The mayor said that he signed it because he thought that the young men employed in the factories of Bridgeport demanded recreation on Sundays, and as long as it does DOt disturb anyone else he says that he does not think the law against it should be enforced.
 The resolution which puts the con- mon council on record as being in fa- vDr of reasonable Sunday recreation was introduced by Alderman Thomas and it bore the endorsement of four teen members of the council.
 The mayor said that the resolution recommends that baseball, football and other athletic games be tolerated on Sunday if held quarter of mile away from any thickly settled local ity.

THEIR GLORY BRIEF l
HuMILiATlkG FATE OF MANY OF
 THE RAGING YACHTS.
Puritan Goes to the Junk peaIer-The Pioneer America, First Winner of
 the Cup, Still Afoat.

Of the famous big yachts which have been built to defend the Ameri- ca's cup, some have gone to the scrap heap and nothing is left of them but the hull, some are used as party boats; some have a brush with their sister yachts now and then, and some are laid up at piers, dismantled. out of commission and useless. The ac- tive life of the defenders of the Amer. ica's cup is not long, but their old age seems everlasting, and they will all seem comparatively young as long as the famous clipper schooner, the pion- ger, America, swings to the tide at the Chelsea bridge, Boston, still the admiration of all who look at her. Fittingly enough, her history since she won the cup, in 1851, has been more stirring than that of her sis. ters.
 Every challenge for the famous cup which she won and brought to this country but revives the story of the famous yacht. When the news of the victory of the America reached this country. about two weeks after the event, a celebration was in progress at the state house which marked the opening of railway communication be- tween the United States and the Can- adian provinces, and Daniel Webster was addressing a large audience in the house of representatives. He broke off in his speech to announce the victory, and said: Like Jupiter among the gods, America is first, and there is no second"
 The America had a checkered ca. reer after sailing to this country, and came very near being destroyed. She was sold in the same year in which she won the cup to Lord John de Bla- Quiere, an officer in the Indian army. He sold her a couple of years later to Lord Templeton. who laid her up at Cowes in 1854. where she remained until 1859. When hauled out that year 1t was found that dry rot had set in, and she would have fallen apart and ended her career then, but the owner of the Northfieet yard, where she was hauled out, bought her.
 To preserve the famous model, he gave her new frames of oak and teak and elm planking In 1860 she was

WRITES TO PRIEST PULLIAM.
Herman BrOnkic Anxious About His
 Official Status.

Manchester, March 23-Herman Bronkie, the pitcher who has refused to accept the terms offered by Mana ger Durant of Waterbury, was seen last night in reference to the matter. When he signed with Newark he was to get a certain amount of money and he received it when he was farmed out to Waterbury and Hartford last season. Durant offers him $50 less q month and he refuses to pitch. Bron- kie communicated with Walter Burn ham. the Newark manager. and was informed that he had heen released to Waterbury. Bronkie has written to President Harry Pulliam of the Ma tional league to get his advice about the situation. He thinks that as Newark sold him to Waterbury he is entitled to slice of the purchase money, "A+ -t

What a shame.

What 2 shame.
 To let New Haven beat us.
 Why such schedule for next week?
 We had New Haven and Hartford this week and we have them again next week.
 There is one satisfaction you can't beat us out of third place no matter how hard you may try. And we are not licked by a long shot for that first position.
 Barney Doherty's fouls helped Bridgeport to win over in Walling- ford last evening. The sorrel topped one must have been riled somewhat at the fliers of the Bridgeport team.
 The Waterbury players surprised the New Havenites even if they did not win that game. The newspapers say that never was better passing done on the floor than that by the Waterbury players.

We do not know if ever such game was played, but we are of the opinion that no team can be win ner unless 1t scores one goal. The fact that one team makes three fouls would not give goal to the opposing team and therefore both are credited with zero and the game must go on until score is made. Should the team with the three fouls make the first goal the game would still have to continue as there would be DO score credited to either.

NEW HAVEN
 FOOLED US We Got Nothing While They Made Two-Bridgeport Flying
 Upward.

New Haven, March 23.--In one of the fastest and most interesting games seen at the Quinnipiac rink. this year, the New Haven team last night defeated the Waterbury team by the close score of ? to 0. From start to finish the game was whirl- wird and the fact of New Haven's victory is accountable to the wonder full defensive work of Mullen and Gardner for the locals.
 Both in shooting and passing the Rough Riders put up game seldom seen in the Connecticut circuit. their work being more fiery than on the occasion of previous visits
 Despite the close score and re- sultant anxiety on the part of the visitors to tie it up, there was little rough work during any of the periods, simply fast clean polo all the time with sensational passing and terrific driving to keep the fans on the brink of panic.
 McGilvray and Fahey gave an ex- hibition of team play for the Water- burys that called for repeated cheers from the New Haven rooters and that their work was not effective enough to be evident in the score is explain ed by the number of stops made by the doughty and the fine defensive ex- hibition of Stonewall Gardner at half.
 Sutton at goal for the Rough Riders was by no means pipe and it was only by combination of hard work and bull luck that Curtiss managed to get the two goals by him for New Haven's tally. Time and again Jason and Curtiss, by the finest sort of polo, would get the ball the full length of the floor. only to smash a furious drive against the waiting shin guards of the Brass city goal protector.
 Tommy HOlderness didn't seem 10 get the swing of it all and his game was like he is usually capable of handing forth.
 On the whole the contest was one of the snappiest seen at the rink this season and the 1.5O0 in attendance made noise to the effect that they had received their moneys worth. Lineup and summary: Waterbury. New Haven. | uac
