Saturday afternoon at Sachem park the c. A. c. team chalked up their first victory in some time, winning from Carolina, to 3, and demonstrat ing that Manager Frank Kane's recent shifts and additions have produced a lineup with good possibilities for pull ing out a majority of their games. It was Kid Simcox in the box, twirling his first game for the team, that was the big stumbling block for Carolina, holding them to three hits until the eighth inning and displaying nerve and stick o-it spirit in the eighth and ninth that pulled him out of two holes where a tie score looked certain.
 Good support was given by the en- tire team, Jim McClafferty on third es- pecially proving the find of the year for that position. A one hand catch by Fud Sullivan at second, retiring base stealer, was feature that cut off runs. Both teams contributed double plays, Carolina on Cote's catch in right and throw to first, and the c. A. C.'s when Driscoll picked up Browns grounder close to second, hurl- ed to the middle bag ahead of Me- Inness, and Fud Sullivan winged the ball to Dennie Mcintyre ahead of the batter.
 The home team plunged into the scoring business heavily in the first and then stopped short. After that they were practically out in order in every inning. In the seventh Jupes Mcintyre, first up, burned around the paths to third on a dropped fly and mixed up throwin by Kenyon, but no one could bring him in.
 The coaching of Pitcher Richness of Carolina, la Hughev Jennings, with whistle and monkey shines, was one Of the features and kept everybody hap py. Carolina was out Tn order in the first inning, but the .. A. C.'s got aftc' the shoots of Richness from the start Of the first six men up, Jim McClef- ferty was the only one who failed to get lit, netting four runs, assisted by a threw over third by Kenyon after fielding a hit from McManus.
 Carolinas first run was a gift in the second on errors by Fud Sullivan ard McManus, Fud dropping a throw which would have retired Spencer and Me Manus giving him a chance to score on a throw past first. Clever fielding and pitching kept the bases empty of Caro- lima men in the next three innings. In the sixth, with two out, Simcox pass ed two in succession and Christopher poled out a single scoring one run. At the beginning of the ninth Jupes Mc- Intyre gave Richness two bagger by misjudging his fly and when Driscoll let grounder through Richness scored with the final run. Cole singled but the two men on bases were left th=re high and dry while the next three men went out, on fielding chances.
 The pace shown Saturday by the C. A. C.'s promises good afternoon of sport for the next home game which is a double header with White Rock Aug. 21su.

BIDS FOR BIG FIGHT
Will Probably Be Received from Now on from All Quarters-No Trouble with Johnson Expected.

New York, Aug. S.-Bids for the Jeffries- Johnson fight for the heavy2 weight championship are expected to be made in numbers within the com ing ten days and the pots of pugilism will boil over with discussion of the coming mill between the erstwhile boilermaker and the negro. While many offers for the fight will doubt less be made by clubs in various parts of the country it is a well understood fact that only two states will permit heavyweight championship mill within their borders-Nevada and Cal ifornia
 Hugh Mcintosh, who pulled off the Johnson Burns fight in Australia, is awaiting Jeffries' arrival in Europe, and will doubtless make an alluring proposition to the retired champion to battle with Johnson in the antipodes Offers for the mill are not unlikely to be received from the National Sport ing club of London and the Cirque de Paris.
 Sam Berger said today that there would be no difficulty over arranging the final conditions with Johnson sas to the division of the purse, the wear ing of bandages, the length of the bat tie, and the referee.
 No unusual demands will be made on Jeffries' part" said Berger Jeff wants to fight and under conditions that Johnson and the public will think are fair"

HOT TIME AT NEW HAVEN.
Clyde Waters Pitches Into a New Britain Rooter and Nearly Broke up the Game.

The first serious riot of the season to occur at the Savin Rock grounds at New Haven, and one which all but broke up the game and threw the crowd into an uproar," marked the close Of Saturdays game between New Haven and Waterbury, when Clyde Waters, the local catcher, aggravated by the joshing of an unknown rooter from New Britain, left the diamond and clinched with him in the bleachers. Pitchers Bill Carrick and Andy Herbst also figured in the fracas, and before the rough house" subsided one of the most unusual and unseemly scenes ever seen on a New Haven baseball field had been enacted. That the riot did not assume serious proportions was due only to the intercession of some of the cooler ball players and fans, who parted the pair.
 One report was that he came down from New, Britain. He was roofing for Waterbury at any rate, and though he howled at all of the New Haven players at every opportunity, Waters came in for some extra rough joshing. He didn't stop to give his name after the fight, but fled over the top row of the bleachers.
 Whether at bet, catching, coaching or running bases, Waters was made a target of the knocks of the unknown rooter, and more than once the New Haven catcher tried to get a line as to who he was and just where he sat.
 Just who the rooter was, however, wasn't learned by Waters until the ninth inning when some of his team mates spotted him from the bench. Waters, Carrick and Herbst then started across the field together, few realizing at the time what was up.
 Carrick and Waters walked slowly down the first base coaching line, Herbst going around inside the bleacher fence. Carrick was then seen to point to the fan with the green tie, who got up as if to make a quick getaway. Herbst reached up and grabbed at him and Waters cleared the fence with one jump and rushed up at his annoyer. There was a flying of fists and then fans behind the New Britainer pushed him forward so that he and Waters both fAll back onto the ground in a heap. Everybody was up pouring onto the diamond, and sur. with Manager Bone came over on the run with the Waterbury players.
 The umpire called time and all hands were in a fine mixup before Waters and the green tie were separated. The catcher was led back to the bench by his fellow players as soon as possible and the green -scarfed New Britainer was last seen dropping over the fence out of the ball grounds. The West Haven police didn't do anyarr9sting, and it was 15 minutes before the grounds were cleared so that the game could be continued

c. A. c. JR.'. LOST TO FITcHvlLLE
Winning Streak Broken by Score of 10 to 8-Up in Air in the Eighth.

After capturing ten straight games thus far this season, the C. A. C. Ju- niors had their winning streak broken by the Fitchville nine on Sunday aft ernoon, a good sized crowd of rooters going up to the mill village with the city team. All went well until the fatal eighth, when poor support of Murphy, who pitched his best game of the year for the Juniors, brought in g tallies for the home team, effectually smothering the visitors hopes. The game ended 1O-S in favor of Fitchville.
 The score was 6-1 in favor of the Juniors at the end of the first half of the eighth. In the second half base on balls and four errors, com- bined with hits into the trees in left field, resulted in runs for F'itchville. Up to that time it had been pitchers battle between Kane and Murphy, but although the Juniors made a brave try two runs were all that they could fetch in in the ninth.
 The bright points of the game were Driscolrs homer in the eighth and Kane's star catch. Murphy, too. was there with the big stick and drove out two threebaggers and a double. Nine strikeouts were marked down for Murphy and for Kane.

NOTES OF SPORT.

When the season opened St. Louis enthusiasts. expected the Browns to run away with the pennant. Instead they are running away from it.
 Big Ed Walsh is still having trou- ble with his arm. The White Sox trainer is giving his arm close atten- tion, but the treatment does not seem to do any good.
 McGraw instructs his men to take chances. Other fellows cannot make errors unless you make them throw the ball, is McGraw's theory To the head of the class, Mac.
 Otto Knabe Is still warming the bench for the Phillies. Joe Ward has second sack and Manager Murray is loath to make a change.
 A sporty barber in St. Louis has offered free shave to every one of the home team who steals second in the home grounds. Wonder what they have to do to get hair cut?
 Manager Fred Lake has an offer from Havana to bring a team to Cuba for the month of November with all expenses guaranteed and $1,400 cash to be diveded among the men.
 The New York Yankees have secur- ed the services of Richard Carroll of Akron, the star pitcher of the Ohio and Pennsylvania leagues. Carroll has won IT straight games for his club.
 Tommy Leach is a player we don't hear much about, but what great player he is. He shines in the infield as well as the outfield. His batting. too has been timely this season, and he has been getting the long hits with men on the bases.

Wins Quarter Mile National Swim
 ming Championship.

Charles M. Daniels, of the New York Athletic. celebrated his first appearance in competition since his recent matri-, moniai venture, in the quarter mile national swimming championship Sat- urday at Travers' Island. What always happens when he starts in a scratch event in the water happened once more. That is to say, Daniels won easily, but he did not break his for mer record. Hi stime was 5 minutes 57 4-5 seconds. which is 2-5 seconds slower than the best American time for the distance.
 There was somewhat of a surprise when. the starters came to the mark to see among them H. J. Handy, of the Illinois Athletic club, one of the. fastest of he western contingent, and a swimmer whom his adherents had bragged about to no little extent as the equal of any one in the east. The Chicago athlete was not only a con siderable bit from Daniels class, but Bud Goodwin, the metropolitan champion, also showed his heels to the visitor.
