POP FOSTERS CREW COULDN'T
 LOCATE GIBBS
And Mechanics Further ClhCh Their Hold Upon First
 Place

At Newfield Park yesterday the Mechanics defeated Pop Fosters Papermakers 3-1. Freddie Gibbs worked for the Mechanics, and fat little fellow named Goodwin, for the Papermakers. Gibbs kept the slaps scattered throughout the full nine innings. The visitors managed to get to him for three singles Tn the ninth, hut even -her could not get mar across. Bailey and Ladd in the fourth, singled ard were moved up a peg on Stoves sacrifice The bags became filled when Cy Miller walked. Three on and but one down, yet we did not score. Kocher famed and Gibbs offered a sky piece to Burke.
 In the ninth, Murray led off with a smashing dent of left field. Ruell sweep the ball stopping up after a line drive in KuStuS mitt. Then Stroh, subbing for Goodwin responded with a hit which Gibbs stopped, but could not recover in time to kill the runner at first. Baker was ready to murder when he famed. Kustus by fast fielding held Murray on third on Dolan's hit. It was a tense moment with Slugger Burke at bat and three men on. Kocher committed breach, when he let Burke's foul tap, fall to earth. All ended we'll however when s-Biff'' Bailey dug a hole in the ground in scooping up Burke's vicious drive.
 Bobby Stowe was in the limelight again, making a clever pick up, the kind you read about, of Rosters smash in the fifth, which forced Burke at second. The Mechanics worked in a snappy double play in the sixth, when Gibbs scared after Murray's bound throwing to second gathering in Duggan, and the return silencing Murray. The visitors in the first turned in a lightning fast double when Hey and KuStus, two speedy ground gathers were done to death by snappy work.
 ; Both clubs scored in the third. Baker first up for the invaders singled to left and stole second. After two had been put away Pop" Foster dented the scenery in right center with two bagger, Baker scoring. Gibbs famed Perkins.
 Baker made mess of Kocher's tap. the runner negotiating second on Gibbs spill in front of the carpet. While Foster was juggling Halls grasser, Kocher went on to Perkins station and scored while Baker and Duggan took care of Eley.
 Hall started the fifth by dropping the blazing projectile into center field for two bases, sneaking to third on Eley's out, Perkins to Duggan, and scored while Foster was throwing KustuS out at first. KuStus beat out a scratch hit to Foster in the eighth, went to second on Bailey'S self killer, and scored when Hi Ladd punctured left field with a stinging drive. Tom my Leahy made his first show here as an ''ump.'' The score:

Manager McCann has called off all Sunday games for this month Sched- uled with the big league clubs. Both Cincinnati and Chicago Nationals had arranged. exhibitions.
 New Haven and Hartford played a twelve inning game yesterday, the Senators winning 3-2. Hartford had three on in the twelfth with none out when McKenna singled scoring the winning run. One can imagine the intense excitement of the Hartford and none down in the twelfth and one to win.
 Hi Ladd wields his war club with very satisfactory results. It used to be said of the old champion that he always hit when the bases were emp ty but now he gets them when they count the most.
 The Papermakers can outhit any club in the league, and are equally as good in fielding but do not seem to be possessed with the old pep. Pop Foster can be depended upon edy.
 The Mechanics at present are play ing blue ribbon baseball, the kind that will win two thirds of the games played. The pitching staff is in fine trim, and the boys are hitting the ball.
 "Red'' Waller is down for the work against the Senators this afternoon, Red" ought to have little or no diff ficulty in turning in another win, but the Senators are awful men on their own lot.
 Jimmy Hall after walking in the seventh attempted to steal second. He might have made the base if O'Leary was chloroformed.
 Hall is getting in his usual daily hit The kid though he tears off an error once in while, is there with the overflow of pepper, and is teas CT with the old hickory
 ''Biff' Bailey had a perfect record for his days work. He not only field ed his position a la Hal Chase, but also batted 1000 per cent. Riff out of four times up got two hits, pass and a sacrifice. His hitting is the clean est of any member of the team.
 Manager Luby of the Larks has re- leased Pitcher Bill Fleet, who was obtained from the Davenport club of the Three I league in a trade for Pitcher .Tacks' DeLave. Fleet was a big hit in the Three league, but had nothing around this section. On the other hand DeLave is setting the wes- tern league afire.
