The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-07-07


 the Connecticut clubs.
 The top of the fence prevented Brad Kocher from completing the circuit after his terrific clout in the sec ond inning. The pill just hit the top and bounded back into the field, Koch CT getting but three bags, sending in two runners ahead of him. Looks as if Brad was going after the three-bag- ger record of the league.
 Manager McCann has signed up Catcher Joe Whalen who was with the Ponies last season. How good is he, is what the fans want to know? We'll last season every time he worked be- hind the bat against the Orators, the latter's chances of winning diminished considerably. Whalen is lively with the willow, and will make val uable alternate with Brad Kocher.
 Fans up Holyoke way claim that the Papermakers are now on their way to climb. It was at this time last season that they were in the rut, but began climbing until they had reached first place. and would have won out but for the injuries of Pitcher Sind Ter and Third baseman Perkins.
 Bobby Stowe always makes 8 great impression up the line. Again yes terday he covered himself with the honors, gathering in twelve chances without an errOr-
 | The Mechanics played a snappy fielding game, the one error being a bad peg by Brad Kocher in an at tempt to get runner stealing second. Looks as if Jimmy Hall was stay ing with the ball yesterday. The spruce little shortS fielder had a fine day with two put outs and five as- sists without slip.
 Ernie Lush has at last found home with Roger Breshnahan's lSt. Louis Nationals, being turned over by Manager McGraw of the Giants. Lush | could not make good with the Troy 1 team in the New York state league, and has been out of the game for some few weeks. Last week he work | ed out at first for Hartford, but had | to give up because of a split finger. i Ernie batted for Pitcher Corridor in the ninth inning in the game against Cincinnati yesterday, but did not man. age to get on. He will be worked as utility fielder.
 "Pop' Foster is running Hi Ladd a | good race for the honors as the lead ing slugger of the league. Foster ] found Uppy Upham to his taste yes terday cracking out three hits out of l four times up.
 It's great treat to get in a good whack against your former team mates. Yesterday Beals Becker of l the Giants who was traded by the | Doves at the beginning of the sea- son for HerZog and Pitcher Collins, 1 did the get back stunt against Fred | Lakes men. In the ninth inning I with the Giants in the rear 3-1, Beck CT lifted the sphere over the fence I for, a homer, scoring Doyle who was on the paths, 'tieing the score. The 1 Giants won out in the 14th when | they gathered five runs
 There has always been some worry 1 locally that Bobby Stowe wouldn't | last with Bridgeport because he could not hit, but that day is apparently | doesn't get at least one hit is an I exception. Yesterday he got four in eight times up.-CNew Haven Union) Bobby is surprising them all but | Manager McCann. At present he is i clouting for .27e, while he is the peer l of them all around the keystone.
 Pitcher Jimmy Wiggs of Montreal |, turned in a record yesterday when he let down theS Champion Rochester team without hit or. run. But one l Broncho reached first base, that man | on a walk.
 Tommy Leahy is in hard luck this | week. Monday an angry mob wanted | to chew him to pieces in Holyoke, while yesterday he was almost crush | ed to death in the New Haven depot by a moving train from which he miss | ed his footing. He fell against the train and was hurled back turning | over a number of times before he ! could pick himself up. He took the | next train for Springfield and officiat- 1 ed in the Acknowledgements games. Conroy. a pitcher. who claims to have had experience ir past years 1 with the Boston Americans has been picked up by Holyoke. Conroy is a I deaf mute, and therefore immune l from the remarks which will be pass ed ,1pon him if he don't make good
