The Springfield gunners were hit like a thousand bricks yesterday in Pony vile. the Menacing Mechanics meeting their offerings with an avalanche Of safe drives in the sixth and eighth in- nings. To. Joe Kustus. the Mechanic outfielder, who has sufficiently recov- cred his batting eye to knock out doubles when ever they are needed, the big honors for the afternoon are coming. Joe with one of his doubles hammered in three runners, and also scored that amount himself. You'll have to hand it to Uppie Upham. The tall one started that war in the sixth inning with great pole. Rather than to have the pitcher, who is not sup posed to have anything on them in the batting line, the rest of the players followed suit. just slamming that ball all over Springfield,
 The Springfield Union says:
 As an exhibition of slamming out safeties just where they would do the most good, nothing seen on the Hamp- den park baseball lot this season could class with the clouting done by Gene McCann's Mechanics yesterday.

Crook cracked out a hit then and Christo pher was sent in to relieve Coffin and One more run was scored.
 Christopher got his in the eighth when he was clouted for a double, triple and three singles. It looked as if the Mechanics would never stop maui ing the ball and Case was sent out to helped him out of difficulty when kocher hit a line fly to Redmond.

Special from United Press.)

Kiel, Germany, June 21.-The Amer gan Nracing schooner Westward, own I'd by Alexander Cochran Smith of New York and which Charles Barr, he famous skipper, controls, started today on its first attempt to beat the Kaisers yacht Meteor. It was the opening race of the famous Kiel regat-' Ia and though the day was marred by the absence of the Kaiser. a bril- liant crowd gathered to witness the race.
 The Westward was pitted against the Meteor, the Germania. owned by Herr Krupp Won Boelen- n-Halthach, the Hamburg. owned by the Hamburg Fachting Club, and the Norstern own cd by Prof Haries of Kiel. The race however was supposed to lie between the Westward and the Meteor and was generally spoken of as race be- tween these two

Originally it was planned to sail out into the seal around a given mark and return Thet Kiel regatta will last until the end of the month and there will be nine Sother contests between the West ward and the Meteor, including those at the Travemude regatta, immediate ly following the Kiel festivities The westward was built by the Herre shoffs in America, the builder of the successful cup defenders and is be- lieyed to be one of the fastest yachts ever built.

 The visitors went to an easy and un- expected run in the first inning. With two out Barbour dropped a fly from Kustus. who stole second and scored on tiny rap into short left by Tom Crook. Crook was caught trying to steal. On the Springfield side Chet pitched him were strikes. Barbour hit after a pair of futile attempts to sac rifice and Waite went around to third. Barbour went around to second on Ladd's throw to third, Upham doing a pretty bit of backing on the peg and Kocher but a pass to Mason filled up the bases. Redmond forced Mason at second.

 Coffin's troubles began when Up- ham opened with sharp single in the sixth. Hall was hit by the fourth ball and then Hey walked. Kustus sent the trio in with his double and went to third of Crooks single to right. Ladd greeted Christopher with clean single to center. scoring 1<us- tus and sending Crook to third. Camp bell clutched a grounder from Stowe and tagged Crook, who had led off with the crack of the bat. The ball was then shot to first ahead of Stowe.
 Guest and Campbell singled in sue cession in the seventh. Guest going to third on CamDbell's hit and Campbell continuing on to second when a try was made for Guest. Larkin's sacrifice fly brought Guest in and sent Camp bell to third Christopher singled to center and Campbell counted. The rally was nipped by a fast double play when Waite sent a hot grounder to Miller, who played a flashing game all afternoon.
 With one down in the eighth Kustus doubled to center and Crock tripped to right, Crooks hit going on line al- most to the fence. Ladd laced out a hit to right. scoring Crook. and Stowe selected the same spot for a single that sent Hi to third.

DOUBLE CROSS WAS WORKED
 ON RICHARD
Special. from United Press.)


 New York, June 21.-Some inside history of the politics that has sur rounded the Jeffries-Johnson fight and driven it from San Francisco was told today by a prominent sporting authority who has returned from the coast.
 'Tex Rickard and Jack Gleason have been dOuble-crossed and rip-sawed to a frazzle,'' he said. "There were lot of native sons promoters who coupled up and secured the fight. Jim my Coffroth and Tommy McCarey had both put in bids and been beat en. So when Rickard first visited San Francisco he saw what he was up against. He was boldly told he could not get a fight license. Rather than be held up he made a deal with Tom Williams, who owns the Emmersville racetrack, to hold the fight there. But these Frisco politicians got busy with the ministers and Williams baked. Then Rickard had to make the best possible terms in Frisco but the poli- ticians there got an awful big influ- ence.
 Tt was first declared he was told he would have to go to Nevada. That is his home and he will get a square deal there. It is rumored on mighty good authority in the west that the moving picture men have agreed to pay the purse of S1O1, ,00O in addition to the s150,OOO they pay for the pie ture rights. The picture people do not care whether anybody sees the fight The fewer people who see the actual fight the more to see the pictures lat CT. So Rickard will have to break even to take in s40,OO0 at the gate in Reno if the fight is held there, to reimburse himself for the money he spent in arranging for the battle. He will do that and break even but it's dollars to doughnuts Rickard is through with the fighting game. He has been double-crossed once too often'

Jr.. began trying out the material which will go te~,lnake up the Antler outfit. The new ones began to make errors in the last few innings, while the Singers just began to larrup that ball. The result was that the Singers pulled up from what looked like a 6-2 loss to a 7-6 victory. Mayor Buck had those Singers eating out of his hand in the first few sessions. easing up just a trif1e in the fifth, allowing two runs to be scored. Bob Nichols also tried his hand at the pitching game and got away with it.
 Sure it was a warm game for the first few innings. with but one run scored. that by the Antlers. They ran up a series of two in the fourth and fifth, apparently sewing the game up, but their beavers were met with an avalanche of base hits, and the fielders had the blind staggers in the last ses- sion.

 Bridgeport. Conn. Dear Sir and Brother:-;
 Your challenge of the 1st inst. at hand, and the matter has been duly brought before Danbury Lodge with the revision of date now reading the 27th instead of the 18th. It was unani- mously voted by the lodge to accept the invitation.
 The inter space of time between now and the event of the athletic season is really not necessary for the members of Danbury Lodge, In fact we may per haps be little stale by that date as young blood naturally bubbles in the spring a little earlier than that of some of the grizzled brothers of No. 36.
 We of No. 120 feel that the aspira- tions of Bridgeport Lodge were humor- ous were it not that we are quite sure they are sincere in their temerity. Never did the dear old knight of La Afancha. assail a proposition more ludi- cKous than is that of the Brass Buffers trying their hand at the national game with such stalwarts as we of Danbury will present.
 There is yet a brief space of time during which you may recall your haSty def.
