HIGH SCHOOL IN FINALS Defeated Bridgeport, md Are Now Ready for InterschoIastic Games.

By defeating the Bridgeport high school baseball nine Saturday at Bridgeport the crack New Haven nine is now champion of the Western league of the State High school and are now ready for the Interscholastic finals with the winner of the Eastern league The local high school team has won every game this season but one, the Morgan school nine of Clinton having defeated them when they were in crippled con- dition.
 The championship of the Eastern league lies between the Norwich Free academy and the Bulkeley high school. Last year the latter was defeated by the local nine in the finals by the score of IA to 5. The Norwich free academy seems to be sure of the Eastern cham pion ship, although the Bulkeley school has chance.
 The game in Bridgeport Saturday was in contrast with the one in this city on Memorial day, fast one and com- paratively close. the local nine winning by the score of 2 to 1.
 The New Haven team has a game with the Hopkins Grammar school on "wednesday and Hartford next Satur- day.
