TOM CROOKS AND SKIPPER
 ELEY IN CRASH
Waterbury Democrat Tells of
 Melee in That Town
WALLER WAS REFEREE
Dispute as to Who Was in Charge of Team During
 M'Cann'S Absence

That there is trouble among the Bridgeport players cannot be denied That fact whs noticed here on Satur- day and according to reports it came to a climax in the hotel when they arrived back from the game. As the story is told E1ey is in bad with about all the other players on the team and when they reached the hotel Sat urday evening, Hey is said to have used some pretty harsh language to Tom Crooks. The latter reta1iated and knocked Eley to the floor. Eley arose and seized a bat and attempted to hit Crooks. The latter took the bat away from him and again sent him down for the count. The only witness said to have been present was pitcher John Waller and the fra cas took place in one of the rooms of the hotel. The report also says that when the other players, who heard the rumpus wanted to get in to the room, where the battle was go- ing on, Waller refused to open the door and wanted to have the two set tie their differences alone. Travel ing men, who were stopping at the hotel were telling the story yesterday Waterbury Democrat.
 From little hints dropped yesterday and Sunday by the local players be- fore they left for the Massachusetts trip it seems that the wrangle arose as to who was in charge of the team, during Manager McCann's absence in New Jersey, scouting for new players. It is not known yet whom McCann did name to take his place, but when the players left here Saturday it was notice that Crooks carried the small satchel belonging to McCann in which were the balls for the team.
 Eley before the advent of Crooks was captain of the team. When Eley was chased to the bench it was mo- ticed that Crooks did most of the ar- guing with the umpire, it therefore being assumed that he was captain. When E1ey returned to the game he assumed his old position of captain, though the club was really led by McCann from the bench and Crooks at srst base.

UPHAM'S ONE
 BAD INNING WAS COSTLY

Holyoke, Aug. 2.-The slowly slipping Speed Boys from Meanwhile came Fosterwards yesterday. with the in tent to start on a winning spurt which would land them on the top. To make the start tell MT. Upham was called upon to bring home the game Upham was met with a vol ley of hits in the first inning, the Papermakers chasing three runners across the dish. After that eventful inning Upham went along like a big leaguer, being very sparse with his hits. If there was no first inning he might have come across with win. Opposed to him was Herr Gaiser, who parted with but four hits in the nine innings. Two of these bingles were three basers, one each by Joe Whelan and Dick Nallin. Bobby Stowe join ed the Mechanics after fay off of week with an injured knee. He was relieved by Snyder after the sev- enth inning.
 A pass to Baker, a steal by the name player, Marshalps hit to Miller which was beaten out, Burkes single, Eos all counted the trio of tallies in the first inning. In the sixth Foster was hit by pitched ball, reached second when Miller fumbled Murray'S ground er to third on Sits single and home on Walters sacrifice fly. Whelan led off the third with triple, scoring while Baker mOmentarily fumbled Eley's grounder. The score:

K. Q. FOR JEFFRIES
Special from United Press.)

Rnock-out) scored up against his name in the sporting records and they are trying to prove that what really belongs there is L. F., Oost on F'oul) Tex Rickard, the referee, declares Jeffries was knocked out, that it should ap- pear so in the records and that Jack Johnson should get the credit for a decisive victory.
 Jeffries' g friends, however, insist that Jeff was not literally knocked out, but that the action of his seconds, in entering the ring to save him, lost him the fight on a foul.
 But despite the claims of Jeff s friends, the majority of the men who saw the fight say it was simply a case of "knock out'', with Jeffries' seconds coming through the ropes in the hope they could make it appear on the rec ords as lost on foul. All bets made on a "knock-out" were paid under Richards ruling.

JOHNSON
 ABANDONS
 WHITE WIFE Takes up Another Specimen of Same Hue He Found in New
 York
fsnecial from United Press)

Special from United Press)
 New York, Aug. 2.-In view of the countrywide agitation against the exhibition of. the Johnson-J effries fight pictures as tending to stir up race prejudice, today's Morning Tele- graph prints a two column story of Johnson's alleged abandonment of his white wife in Chicago and his subse- ouent fragrant association with an- other white woman and calls upon the police to suppress this exhibition bv the negro champion as far more subversive of public morals and con ducive to race hatred.
 The Telegraph makes the story its "lead" and pleads in justification of it's publication the following:
 s"The case of Johnson and his para mour-who was born in Brooklyn, by the way, and brought up in New York and of Johnson's white wife whom latest affinity, is simply cited to show those exclamatory newspapers which are daily crying to Governor Hughes or anyone else in the world to stop the prize fight pictures that there are other things in connection with Johnson which might very well attract official inquiry and prohibi- tion."
 The Telegraph asks whether the pie lures of the fight are more vitiating to virtue than the spectacle of Jack Johnson in real life parading a white paramour through the streets of New York in a 90 horsepower automobile and displaying her in association with himself in a public though very low way.''
 Johnson met his present companion, the Telegraph says, in this city, took her to Chicago with him and install ed her in his home, driving out his legal wife. She is the same woman, the paper says, who was with the colored champion in his training camp, Johnson's handlers not having the sense of propriety even to ex- clude her from his cottage when Gov ernor Dickerson of Nevada paid his respects to the colored fighter.

MAXWELL OUTFIGHTS
 THE "DIXIE KID"

Frank Mantell, who recently ar- rived from Frisco, outfought the Dixie Kid in a slashing ten-round bout in New York, last night. Man tells superior strength and weight told as the fight progressed, and he was much the fresher when the final bell sounded. Dixie gave way about twenty pounds to his opponent and this proved too great a handicap for him to overcome.

New Haven has purchased Out fielder Burke from the Holyoke club. Owner Cameron wired Burke las1 evening to report immediately. He will not be played regularly in the New Haven outfie1d, but will be used as a pinch hitter. Burke is suffer ing from an injured shoulder received in making a slide for second base. Burke was with New Haven in 1906.
 After getting that premier period out of his system, in which he was found for four hits, Uppy Upham went along much better for the visit CTS for the next seven sections, and but for an error by Miller in the sixth the locals would not have scored another run.-Springfeld Un- ion.

 McAvoy, who was given a try out by the Larks at the beginning of the season, is now in hospital at York, Fa-, as the result of a mobbing he received Saturday at the hands of irate fans in York. The trouble first started following the Reading York game over the decisions of the um- pire. While McAvoy was leaving the grounds with other members of the Reading club someone hit him over the head with an umbrella. He re- taliated and was then attacked by several hundred boys and men. He was knocked down and kicked and six abrasions were made in his head.
 It's strange what a difference the absence of one player will make in teams playing. Take the case of Bobby Stowe, the Bridgeport second ba seman, for instance. Since Stoves injury a week or so ago, the Me chanics have been all broken up. The youngster tried to get back in the game yesterday, hobbling around his position on one leg most of the timA, but couldn't stand the strain and Snyder had to replace him. Boss Me- Cam is now scouting for several new men, being especially anxious to land a keystone shacker to plug up the infie1d until Stowe is again in shape. Union.
