Hats off to Jason Malcolm and the band of eight Bridgeport High School lads who travelled to Milford yesterday
 afternoon dragging the New Haven High School boys through the mire, finishing up so. Revenge is sweet and the locals took lots of it. Today's game at Yale field between B. H. S. and Westerly will determine the schol- astic championship of Connecticut.
 If there is any team in the league Bridgeport likes to wallop it is New Haven. Deacon Malcolm was on the rubber for the local lads, being in rare form, allowing only five scattered hits in as many different innings On the other hand Bridgeport played gilt edge baseball, taking advantage of the gifts of Sullivan and Gessner and following them up with hits. The Elm City lads were dangerous in only one in ming, that being the opening session. Starkweather led off with a double to right center. Lapides sacrificed him to third on fly to right. GTodske sphere. Seeley threw to first in time to get Grodsky, while Graether caught Starkweather at the plate on an at tempt to score on the play. For this play the local boys received one big cheer.
 With out out in the first, Louie Mid dlebrook walked. and then to the sur prise of Sullivan stole second and third. Lalley struck out. Seeley's hit to right scored Mfddlebrook- See ley stole second and tried to score on Grather's hit to center but was thrown out at the plate, Stock to Lapides. In the third with one out Harry Middle brook walked and came all the way home on his brother Loufe's hit along the first base line which Flanagan ran up on. Louie had the ball beaten out when Flanagan threw to Rapuano who covered the bag. Rapuano heav- ed the ball over Lapides' head, Harry Middlebrook scoring. Louie was ont trying to steal third. Lalley flew out to center Gessner relieved Sullivan in the fourth, Sullivan going to center in place of Stock.
 In the fifth Haw1ey struck out. Gassner walked Porter and Malcolm. Harry Middlebrook laced a. beaut to center, scoring Porter. Malcolm tried to scone on Louie Middlebrooks tap to Rapuano but was thrown out. Lal- ley's rap to Gessner was too hard for the pitcher to handle, allowing Harry Middlebrook to score. Lalley started to Steal second, Lapides throwing the ball to Rapuano who in turn relayed 1t to the New Haven catcher in time to

San Francisco. June 26.-No fight that has taken place in San Francisco in the past five years has aroused as much interest in New York as the Cross-Hyland battle to-day at Golf roth's Mission Street Arena To Cross 1t means a chance at the lightweight title, If he wins, and if he loses it will be the end of his meteoric rise in the pugifistic world. To Hyland it will mean <another chance at Nelson, and this is what Dick is hankering for since he was defeated by the Dane. Coffroth has promised the winner a July date with the champion.
 The men were to weigh in at 133 lbs. at 10 o'clock this morning, five hours before the time to enter the ring. This weight pleased Cross. In his battles in New York he went to bed the night before fight weighing 135 pounds and awoke in the morning at the light weight limit. Upon arriving here Cross said he could ask for nothing better on the weight question, and as he has Tommy Loftus, his own trainer, with him, there is little doubt that the New Yorker will be in. tip-top shape for the battle.
 When Cross was first offered the forty-fve-round match with Hyland, he laughed at the idea of Hyland going forty-five rounds with him. "If we
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-06-26

meet he won't go fifteen,' said Leach. and then told his brother Sam to take the bout. The men will get fifty per cent. of the gross receipts, which will be divided. sixty to the winner and forty to the loser.
 When the betting began on the con- test Hyland opened a ten to eight favorite and when this juicy price was heard of in the East, Cross followers wired here amounts from $100 to $1 OOO which changed the betting immediate ly to even money.
 Cross has gradually gained favor with the Frisco sports, and many of those who have seen him in action will back him to beat Hyland. Coffroth says he expects Cross to go into the ring a ten to eight choice. There are few fight fans who have seen Cross in all his bouts in New York who think that Hyland will last over fifteen rounds. If Leach is at his best it would not be a surprise to hear of him winning by a knockout in less than six rounds. He intends to go right after Hyland and although Dick has only been knocked out twice in his long career in the ring, he has never met harder walloper than the New Yorker. Dick is one of the gamest lads in the ring and can take a good punch. It may take more than a good wallop to put him away, but there appears to be little chance of his winning from Cross.

SCHUMAN SENT TO STABLES BY ORATORS AND BATTIE
 ENDED IN 18TH SCORE A TIL
Bridgeport Outplayed Hartfords In All Departments But
 Could Get No Better Than An Even Break

Bridgeport and Hartford battled for 13 innings to a tie in the capital City yesterday and during the process of the play many were the exciting mo- ments. Buckling on their armor the the tail enders with Nolte, the wander CT in the box, went in to do or die. Their chief trouble heretofore has been to do. they finding not the least diff culty in dying. In fact they have ex-- pired with such charming regularity that many of the home fans have en- tertained serious doubts to whether they would ever succeed in doing the resurrection stunt. Yesterday saw beginning of better and brighter days for the Park City boys. Let us hope the fight from now on will be onward and upward. The Courant says:
 Hack Schuman has won so many games from Bridgeport this season that an easy victory was looked for yesterday. Hartford got good lead, too. sending three men around in the first inning. With one gone. Warmer walked, Hart singled and a two-base nery singled and scored Hart and Nc Kenna.; Bridgeport did not get a man to first until the third. 'Bourquin was walked and was forced by Kocher. Nolte singled: steinhauser doubled. Bannon struck out and Hilt hit for two bags. This gave three runs Hart ford took the lead again in it's half of the third. Warmer walked and aa the ball struck the plate and got by the catcher the runner took second. Hart sacrificed him to third and when McKenna was thrown out at first, Warmer scored.
 Bridgeport added one in the sixth. Miller and McKenna singled and Bour- quin sacrificed. Kocher hit to Connery and Miller was caught at the plate. Nolte- fouled out. As Kocher stole second, Wad1eigh overthrow second base and McKenna scored. Hartford got two in the sixth. Hart hit for two bases. 'McKenna sacrificed and Con nery's single scored Hart. Ladd's CT TOT allowed Connery to take second. Fisher was safe when McKenna dropped "a thrown ball and Connery came in on the error. A double play disposed of Fisher and Abrogast.
 Bridgeport tied the score in the seventh and there was no scoring after that. Steinhauser singled and was forced at second by Bannon. Hilt hit to left for three bases. scoring Bannon. Schuman was taken out then and Evans put in. Ladd singled and scored Hilt. The next two men

tag Lou Middlebrook who attempted to score on the play.
 After the fifth session Sullivan was again called to perform on the mound, Gessner being chased to the stables, and Bill Bone. brother of George, the New Haven State League manager, going into center. In the eighth Bridgeport High settled affairs. Louie Middlebrook was binged with the sphere, Lalley sent a hot liner just a little too far out for Grodske to hold in his glove. but enough to knock it down. Sullivan filled the bases by walking Seeley. Grather's second hit into center scored Middlebrook and LaHey. On McFarlan's hit to the pitcher Seeley was thrown out at home, McFar1an going to first. A passed ball by Lapides scored Grae- ther, while Hawley'S hit to left sent McFarlan across the pan for the last tally of the game. Porter in this in ming flew out to the pitcher and Nal colm struck out. The score:

Hartford had a good chance to score in the eighth, with a man on first and third with one out hut Fisher and Abrogast failed to hit safe 1y. In the eleventh, Wad1eigh started the inning by getting his base on balls Evans sacrificed but Flournoy and Warmer did not connect. Evans pitched a good game and Nolte frightened up in the closing innings. Nolte got his double in the eighth after two were out and there were two gone wheE Ladd got his double in the ninth.
 At the close of the thirteenth inning the game was called. The score:

A trip to Springfield today for the Orators.
 No game at Steeplechase tomorrow, as Hartford won't play.

 By past performances it is Jimmy Gibbs turn to pitch today. He found the Ponies easy on their last visit here.
 Looks as if the Orators have taken a brace A win on Thursday and al- most another yesterday. When we can do that against the two leading clubs of the league, there is something do- ing.
 Honest John o'Leary has been in- formed by the Hartford management to report to the Orators to do back stop duty. John was with Hartford last season, but went to the Columbia, South Carolina club. who have not set tied up for him yet.

 Pitcher "Baby'' Doll has been can- ned by Manager Bone of the New Ha- ven Club. Doll won five of his ten games. He could not be depended up- on.
 It seems a shame that Bridgeport and New Haven, two of the largest cit ies in the circuit, are not represented by good teams.

Tomorrow at the West End Flats the South Ends will tackle their old rivals. the St. Josephs at 3:30 o'clock.
