B.H.S. BOYS HOPE
 TO GET CRACK ELEVEN

In the opinion of those who ought to know, Bridgeport High School will have a crack football team in the field this season The boys showed their mettle Saturday when they bucked up against the Alumni and were de- feated to O. Their opponents out weighed them at least 25 to 30 pounds a man, but that did not matter as the lads wanted this kind of exper- fence. Twenty men were tried out by the school and all did well. It is very seldom that B. H. s. has squad this size upon the field, which indicates that the young men of the school are out this season to win. The team has been practicing three times week for the past month under the guidance of Coach Eddie Reilly. Ren- ly's work waeh last seasons team has proven that he is m ade of the mater ial tha*- produces good coaches. The touch dc.yn came in the first half when the ball was on the B. H. $. two yard line The signal was given for a cross buck by the left half back. The sig
 nal was misunstood and a tumble re-
 suited Mike Lucey, the B. H. $. crack center for the past three seasons, who
 was playing that position for the AL
 umni fell on the ball behind the goal line, counting for the touch down. In the second half the B. H. $. team braced and held the blowing of the
 Alumni backs. Not during any part of this half was the B. H. s. goal line in danger while when time was call ed the ball was on the Alumni's ten yard line.

 -NeWfields Also Beaten.

At West End Park yesterday the Newfields went down to defeat before the West Ends, 3-1. The score was tie II up to the eighth when the West Ends pulled the game out of the coals. Ernie Wade, the former Rridgeporter, pitched for the victors, holding the Newfields to four scattered hlts. Young Joe Wells, the youthful south. paw of the East Finders, pitched well throughout, but his support was rag ged, which in a measure accounted for the defeat. The bi-plane went up m the eighth There were two West Finders on the paths and two down when Baker came to the pat. It was his fourth appearance during the game, the three former attempts be- ing strike outs. He stepped up on one of Wells outshoots and lifted the sphere over the crowd for two bases. The two runners crossed the pan. 'The same two teams will play next Sunday

 Both clubs were on the field when time arrived to play. The Batchellers saw that their opponents were to use Pitcher Barron who a week ago had the BatcheIlers breaking their necks trying to connect.

In the same contest Earl Gardner corfalled three hits. Eddie Grant, third baseman of the Philadelphia Nationals, made re- Inarkable record against the Giants Tn the two games Saturday. In the first contest he made five hits off Marquad and in the second two off Mathewson. It made seven hits in a row. Be1ore the contest Grant found domino on the field with seven white spots there on. They'll all be looking for the dominos now. Some one will find a blank.

The management of the New York Giants would not volunteer their ser vices for the man who has had a great deal to do for the elevation of the game, so Hughey Jennings volunteered to bring along all his stars. The fea- ture of the contest is that Christy Mathewson will pitch for the Yankees, special permission having been granted by the National commission. Seats are at a premium and are producing
 big returns. Manager Farrell of the
