 in the first of the fifth, Hall booted Barbour's offering. Garry followed with a single to center. Waite clean ed up with a three bagger, which seemingly got away from Ladd in the fog, which was fast assuming dense watching Mason go out.

 Steinhauser led off the sixth with a hit to center and stole second. Eley, Miller and Bailey breezed, though Ladd was walked. The visitors went out in order in the seventh. For the Mechanics, Hall singled to right go- ing to second on a passed ball. stowe's sacrifice to right field advanced Hall to third where he anchored while Kocher and Gibbs made unsuccessful attempts to bounce the sphere.
 Good night to Freddie Gibbs in the eighth. Oh, but it was awful, but thanks to the fog he was saved. eff they can hit you in the dark, what will they do to you in the light" piped shrill voice from the bleachers Howell started with hit to left go- ing to second on Campbell's sacrifice to first base. Plank's hit to left scored Howell. Ball and Parker fol- lowed with drives to the outfield After Barbour hit past Eley for double, which scored two men before him, the ump yelled "time."

BOXING


 New York, May 4.-Jack Goodman of the West Side by his cleverness and superior ring tactics won clean decision over Jack Dorman in a ten round bout at the Frairmount Athletic club last night. At the end, although II was conceded that Goodman had clearly outpointed his man, Dorman was loudly cheered for his gameness.
 Goodman was fast and in the num- erous cliicnes he had the better of .he infighting. his short t-armed jabs being very effective against Dorman. The two Jacks put up a fast, interest ing bout and at times it looked as though Dorman was going to land heavy sleep-producing punch on his oppoinent. but whenever Dorman started one of these wallops. Good man had a clever defense for it.
 Goodman used his favorite punch. straight left-hand iab. and peppered his opponents face with it often. Good man was the better boxer and his blows were more clearly delivered and better directed than the heavy swings of his opponent. Dorman was knocked down several times.

CAMPS VIEWS
 ON FOOTBALL
Yale's Adviser Says Mere Indi- viduality and Less Concerted
 Action Under New Rules

New Haven. May 4.-What are sup posed to be Walter Camps views on the new football rules are published in The Yale Daily News The News says that they are ''the views of a mem Der of the Rules committee They follow:
 "As the football rules for next season now stand, the game will be played with more individuality and less con- certed action, although team play will be, as ever, the most important fea- ture. The accidents and exhaustion that lead to serious consideration at the end of last season indicated that some action must be taken to lessen two aspects of the game-tte concen- tratA hammering attacks upon an un- supported tackle: the knocking over of ends who. in their attempts to take forward passes, were in an especially defenselesS position. The forward pass had also forced the defensive half backs away from the line and this made the play of the tackles very se were.
 After much time spent in the con- sideration of possible methods of keep ing the forward pass across the scrim- mage line, and yet. at the same time provide against these dangers, the committee decided it was impossible. This method was therefore abandoned. In it's place they lessened the distance to be gained to eight yards, instead of ten, which, taken in connection with one of the rules passed at their earlier sessions, 6orbidding pushing and pull ing the runner, and also locked inter ference), would seem to render the game less dangerous and less exhaust ing on ends and tackles
 'The other rules namely, those for bidding diving tackles and permitting the quarterback to cross the line of scrimmage at any point, would seem to aid in attack. as does the eight yard rule. and makes up in some meas ure for the very considerable weaken ing the offense suffers through the abandonment of pushing and pulling."

MORE BASEBALL
 THAN DIAMONDS
Industrial League Unable to Find Enough Grounds For
 Schedule.
Four Cups Already Donated Stimulate Interest in the
 Session of 1910

The Industrial league which opens up the latter part of this month is still shy one ground on which to play. The directors of the league had been figuring on obtaining Newfield Park when that field was not in use by the Mechanics, but it seems that the di- rectors of the Factory league have also seen Manager McCann about the field. so that it now appears that both leagues can use the grounds on alter nate Saturdays There may be an opportunity for both leagues to double up at the games. However 1t will leave the Industrial league still shy one field, they now having Seaside Park, Crane Field and St. Joseph's Oval. As they have four games every Saturday this will necessitate a num- Der of double headers being played.
 At the meeting of the league held , last evening Vice President Boucher presided in the absence of Mayor 'Buckin gham, who was unable to be present. Secretary Jack McGuinness of the Bridgeport club was present at the meeting telling what Manager McCann's intentions were in the use of the grounds. The league had tried to arrange for preliminary contests be- fore the regular Connecticut league games, but this was not favorable to Manager McCann.
 It was reported at the session that four cups had already been donated to the league Treasurer R. F. Kinder gives two: the Whitman Studio Co., through it's agent J. E. Anderson, one: and John H. Hinckley of the Interna tional Silver Co. one. There is also a cup coming from the Spalding Base ball Co.,. for the use Of their balls in all games; and another from $. Loeb s2 Co. of New Haven, who promised to donate two cups last season, but held off till. this year. A special com inittee was appointed to look after the getting of the cups. the chair ap pointing Manager Peter A. Colljung of the No. Crane Co.,, and Treasur- CT F. F. Kinder
 When the question of the teams of the league joining the Inter-City lea que of New York, which had been be- fore the directors for some time, was taken up on motion of Manager Noon an of the Warner Bros. Co., it was voted down by the directors.
 During the past few weeks the assis- tant scorers which Supervisor of Scorers J. Edward Barton had gath cred to do the work during the season made a request to him that they re- ceive more remuneration for their services. Last night Supervisor Bar ton brought the attention of the di- rectors to their request, which was re- ferred to the Finance committee, and upon their recommendation a payment of 50 cents per game was voted. Last season the scorers received the same amount, but from another source.
 Manager Bill Lundberg of the Loco mobile Co. team was present at the meeting for the first time since his team was taken back into the league. He expressed his pleasure at being present, promising to give the other teams a great race for the gonfalon.

Ine MeCnan1CS SaCnor Tn f1arCIOrO today in opposition to the champs. Joe Connor with his choice Per- fectos will be the drawing card at Newf1eld tomorrow. Joe always re- ceived warm welcome from the Bridgeport fans.
 There is a probability that Elmer Zacher may again wear a New Haven uniform. For the past few days Owner Cameron and Manager Car rick have been in New York confer ring with Manager McGraw of the Giants relative to gathering Zacher. Since the conference the Giants have asked waivers on the player, which proba bility is the first step in getting him for the New Havens. Newark has assumed command ing lead in the Eastern league. Mo Ginnity's men yesterday turned their eleventh victory, having so far met but one defeat.
 An occasional beatir like that giv- en the Mechanics yes terday does the team heaps of good. It will make the boys get into the game the better.
 There was no use for Manager Mo- Cam to yank Freddie Gibbs from the mound yesterday. A new twlrler might have held the Ponies to noth- ing, but still they had that lead which the Mechanics could not over come. Parker was going too good for them.
 Parker's work yesterday reminds one of his former exhibitions in 1908 when mainly through his work a pen nant was won for Springfield. He seemed to have the Bridgeport bat ters baffled, ten of them flaming.
 Hi Ladd and Bobby Stowe were the only two who did not die at least once by the strike out route.
 Stowe on his three advances to the plate yesterday hit the ball hard. Twice his wallops were line drives to the outfield which were gathered in. Never mind," shouted McCann from the bench, you'll get 'em safe yet"
 One of the funniest sights imagin- able is Bugs Raymond travelling around with his keeper. Bugs says the keeper is a good sport, and he would have quit the Giants only he didn't want the guy to lose his job. pulled this one on him: "No matter full I get, you'll be fuller"
 George Mullin points out that one Of the recruits on the Detroit team is twenty years old, and that he (Mul1in) having started in baseball at nineteen and having served nine years, is no older than that young ster.''
 Simmons, the former New Haven CT, released by the Giants last season to Rochester is now playing the reg ular first base position for Detroit. He has played in the last four games, having contributed One or more wal lops in each. Yesterday he had 16 put outs on his sack.
 ADD BRACING.
 Gus Soffell must be the chesty kid today. Yesterday in New Britain he grabbed fifty beans when he hit the Bull Durham sign. That was not all, out of five times at the bat he copped four hits, and walked once, a perfect record.
 It is needless to mention that Man ager McCann read the riot act to his players yesterday after the game. He put them wise to the fact that if they did not perform like ball players, he would get the men that would.
