The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-07-15

afternoon.
 Payne. the new man from the At lantic league will pitch, having arrived in this city yesterday afternoon.
 Hi Ladd deserves a whole lot of credit in trying to make a team out of Bridgeport. Isn't it funny that Jim O'Rourke, with all the chances he has of making a barrel of money with a good team, seems satisfied to stick to the old rut?-Waterbury Democrat
 Tom Connery would like to be magnate and has. an eye out for the Bridgeport club. Jim ORourke would sell for s7,50O, according to reports, but that's more than Connery cares to in vest, as the club would need to be completely overhauled, and it would take $2, 500 more to fix up grounds un- less ORourke's park were used, and it would take a big outlay to put that in decent shape.-Springfield Union.
 Charlie Reisigl. a brpther of Jack with New Haven has signed his name to an Undertaken contract. Charles has been pitching good ball around New York state. Seems rather strange to have brothers on the same team.
 Rumors are on the wing that Her has been sold either to the Jersey City or Newark clubs of the Eastern league, the price being S1 200.
 Eddie Havel is to get the hook from the New Haven club, his fielding this season being very poor, while his arm has gone back on him. He always was good with the bat
 Downey hit a home run to deep cen tre field. The ball didn't rise more than ten feet from the ground and shot by O'Hara with the wings of ~fw <.lA IL rI@I,< q is said, faster than a wireless telegram. O'Hara had to chase back to the fence to get it. He hadn't much more than started it home before Downey was practically across the plate.-New York Telegraph.
 Chief Stallings intends to give Pete Wilson a chance in the present New York-Chicago series. Pete has done but very little work for the High carrying him along, believing that he will yet develop into a star portsider in the big show.
 Clark Griffith says Hal Chase is the wonder of modern baseball, and better than Wagner, Cobb, Lajoe and the rest. 'There is only one thing the matter with Chase" says Griffith 'He He thinks faster than they do and moves more rapidly. They have diff culty in keeping up with him."
 Cincinnati had fine chance to trim the Giants yesterday in New York but batting rally in the tenth did the trick. The score had been a tie up to the tenth, when Tommy Downey got in a triple to right field, scoring later on a single. The Reds had one to the good, but the Giants scored a duo in their half.
 Of all the clubs in the league. Bridge port is certainly encountering the toughest sledding when it ought to be one of the big money winners of the circuit. The Bridgeport fans have gone I back on Manager OsRourke worse than ever this season and where he has been able to sneak by inside of ex- penses in past years, now he has to dip into his bankrol quite regularly And the funny thing about it all is that Manager Jim can't understand the attitude of the cranks. as he thinks that he has the best team in years.-Springdeld Union.
 The victory yesterday by the Orators was the first in nine games and the only one at Newfield since July 3rd when Hartford was trimmed in the second game of a double header.
 Hilt's fielding was the prettiest and fastest one could wish to see in a days travel. When Frank is going good, he is almost unbeatable.
 Oswald Schmaltz was the larruping youngster with three wallops. Ossie has a style at the bat, that kind of makes the fielders lay out.
 This Brennan. who plays center field, is the same that was with New Britain. He worked 1ard yesterday getting un- der some difficult flies. He robbed Cy Miller of a double by good running catch.
 Umpire Sternberg was again the boss of the contest There is no Squab- bling while he is running matters
