ORATORS WIN
 ONE;LOSEONE
Two Games at Northampton Were Hotly Contested First to Northampton, ) to ?; Second, to Orators, 4 to 3. ...-..
(Sprin gfield Union.)


 Northampton Aug. 3-If Tony Pas tor had not booted a pair of ground CTS the LarkS would have carried off both games of yesterdays double header with Bridgeport In the first Jum Warner worked like a veteran and gave O'Rourke's tailenders the wrong side of a to ? score. In the second Jack Hess had the Orators 3 to l, when Pastor made his untimely fumbles on diamond clusters that would ordinarily have been outs. and two hits and sacrifice fly which fol- lowed were enough to give Bridgeport three runs in the ninth and the game Reilly. the New Britain castofq, was exceedingly chary with the safe ones and all 'Hamp could do was to pick five scattered wallops. The passes that the youngSter gave, however, were costly and gave the Larks an early lead.
 Up until the ninth Hess had allowed the Misfits to reach him for seven hits, one of them being a. two-sack clout. but they came at scattered in tervalS and Jack should have hoiSted a win for his share of the afternoon s work had not Tony Pastor become an unlooked-fo factor with his errors
 Both clubs contributed some spec tacular work at times in the field. Mil Ter and Bannon forcing retirements on seemingly sure hits. Jimmy Burns circus catch off Miller'S bat caused a mild SenSat ton.
 Bridgeport's run in the first was started by Warmers four wide ones to Ramon, tip in front of the plate by Hilt giving the runner the middle sack, and Tony Pastors slipup when Bridges threw to catch Ramon off second, sending him to the three-quarter cor ner. Warmers wild heave allowed the tally. Warner passed Ladd and Miller, but Bunyan ended it by grounding to Burns.
 Steinhauser's triple and Bannons sacrifice fly furnished the second Ora tor tally in the eighth. Warner prov ed the visitors master for the inter- mediate stages and the closing section. Score:

NEW HOME TO AID
 WOMEN STUDENTS

Greenwich, Aug. 3.-It has been an- nounced here that the Ely club, com posed of wealthy young women. all former students at the Misses Ely's school will begin in the middle of Sep tember a work for the benefit of young women students who have not been so fortunate financially as. them selves. They will establish a home in New York where students may live while prosecuting their studies. To this end the Ely Club has leased the house at I'll West Ninety-seventh st., and is having it made ready for occu-' pancy.
 Outlining the plan of the club, Mrs Arthur J. S1ade, secretary of the club said: --stt
 Students are coming to New York in ever increasing numbers. A large proportion of these students are wholly unacquainted in the city and have a small allowance for their expenses.
 ''The Ely Club house will provide boarding place where girls can haze cheerful rooms and nourishing food for the price they now pay for dreary quarters and miserable meals. It is to be understood that this home is en-: tirely for girls and women who and not for any girl with income Efficiently large to enable her to live independent. Our idea is to give for the price of $7 to $S a week Hvable quarters with nourishing palatable food which means of course that the work will not be wholly sef-support- ing but we hope the deficit will not lie more than our treasury can han 1e- z

NEW HAVEN ROAD IN DANGER FROM
 BIG FOREST FIRES
Especial from United Press.)

Jeff and Johnson Have Started on
 Long Chewing Match
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United PreSs)
 New York. Aug. 3.-Sportrng men in New York have now settled down to watch for the numerous interruptions that are certain to occur before Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson meet in the ring. That there will be a whole lot of dickering before the heavyweights get to maui each other, seems cer- tain.
 The first hitch has come. Jeffries, in posting his $5.000 declared he in tended sailing Thursday on the Geo. Washington of the Hamburg-Ameri- can line for Germany on his way to Carlsbad where he is to take the ''cure.'
 Johnson. in posting his $5,O00 an- nounced that he would be in New York Thursday to sign articles for the match and that articles must be signed before Jeffries goes to Europe. As Johnson cannot arrive until Jeff fries is on board his ship there is much speculation as to what stand the negro will take. Jeffries has an nounced that Sam Berger, his man ager. has full authority to sign for the match but Johnson wants to see Jef- fries own "John Hancock on the ar ticles.
 If this hitch is passed, there will be another, and more serious one and that is the question of the purse. Jeffries still claims the heavyweight championship and so does Johnson. Each will want to dictate the divi- sion of the purse. It is said Jeffries will demand a $10,O0O side bet and that the winner take the entire purse of fered by the fight club, the loser to get nothing. But he may agree it is hinted, to the s1O,OOO side bet and a 75 and 25 per cent division of the purse, the biggest end. of course, go- ing to the winner. Johnson, as the claimant to the championship, may demand a different division of the purse and there seems certain a hitch on this point.
 Jeffries declared today he intended sailing for Euorpe Thursday regard less of Johnson's demand that he stay here and sign up for the match.

 SECOND CAME
 Bridgeport opened the second go when HiIt doubled into extreme left and scored on Ladd's single. From this point on not an Orator count could pc showed across until that fatal ninth. Miller, the first man up. then got on by virtue of Pastors huff. Bunyan lifted into Walsh's hands, and Sweeney. C'Rourke's outlaw from the Atlantic league forced Tony into another slipup brought Miller across, and McKenna, who batted for Reilly, brought in Sweeney with his sacrifice fly to Walsh. Steinhauser then singled and Kocher passed through the turnstile.
 McAndrewS opened for 'Hamp at the start of the windup contest with a slap into center. Pastor lifted into Kocher's hands and Yale got on when Hit fought Yale'S grounder too hard. Walsh poled one into left and Me Andrews and Yale passed over the run counter. Walsh was retired at sec ond on Bridges low drive to Hit and Golden scared out into Steinhauser' hands.
 The third and final Lark chalking was accomplished in the sixth. Golden doubled into right, stole third and came home on Kocher's wild peg to Miller to prevent the theft. Reilly held the LarkS safe after this and a simple order of retirements was produced. Score:
