OUR ''COPS" LOST TO NEW RAVENS
 BY ONE RUN ONLY
But in the Sea Food Contest Which Followed the Park City Contingent Held it's Own.
(New Haven Journal-Courier.)

(New Haven Journal-Courler)
 The Bridgeport police and the mem bers of their families who dined at the Lighthouse Point hotel yesterday as guests of the New Haven force, had the time of their lives notwithstand- ing the fact that they witnessed the defeat of their team by the locals, who thereby ended the season in second place in the league.
 The party on their arrival at the Union station were met by two Speclal cars and were conveyed to the Light house, arriving there at 1:54.
 About $50 were present at the ban quet, which was held at the Light house Point hotel. Chief Cowles act ed as master of ceremonies, a, place which he has often filled acceptably at the dinners following the police balls. There were speeches by Mayor Lee of Bridgeport, both of whom en- tered thoroughly into the spirit of the day.
 Among the many guests who at tended the banquet were Postmaster Marigold and Captain John H. Red sioners Coughlin, Kershaw and Hur- ley of Bridgeport, and City Clerk Buckingham.
 During the early part of the evening the Qanc6 nall Was OpSllSo dIo ucit- ing was enjoyed by all. After the dancing the party took a moonlight trolley ride to the Rock and thence to Union station.
 Preceding the dinner the New Ha- ven police nine stepped into second place in the Police league standing by defeating Bridgeport to ip 8 ding dong contest. All through the game our Finest landed on the ball for good hard 4swats that meant runs when runs Were needed. Double plays by New Haven cut off runs for Bridgeport when the crowd from the Park City were on their feet roofing for their players. Even the dininu- tive dark-skinned mascot of the Bridgeport team failed to stem the tide of New Haven's victory in the s'lucky seventh although he did a war dance around the home plate in an effort to hoodoo the locals.
 The box score follows:

AMERICAN DERBY
 AT READVILLE
Especial from United Press.)

ReddeVlIIe, Mass, Sept. 1.-LOWering clouds which this morning hang. over the race course here make it difficult for the dopesters to pick a winner in the $15,000 American pacing Derby which is to be pulled off this after noon. Slight shower have already fallen but not enopgh to interfere with the speed of the track. The Eel, the famous Canadian flyer, will be at scratch but will not be given a chance to win as it is believed the same crowding that killed the chances of San Francesca and Sonoma Girl in the Derby yesterday will keep him from forging to the front.
 {, In all there are three races on the card today.

Mrs. Ellis left the major portion of
her estate, valued at SIS, 900, to Miss
Gordon, and her mansion in High street
to her executor, Reginald Branch, who,
two years prior to her death, had made
their home with the aged woman and
given her the kindest care. For fifty

They said a former will left the entire
estate to the church.
The court, after taking testimony,

The consolidation, it is said, will be
very easily carried out, The National
City Bank has nearly $40, 000. 900 more
surplus than the Bank of Commerce,

an extra dividend for the amount and
