Umpire Fahey was on the job agai1 yesterday and as usual it was a f1zzle l It was a good game till the ninth in ming when he put the contest on the fritz, by reversing decision il which one of the Mechanics gained z base. The Springfield Union has the following 10 say about Fahey and the game:
 Northampton, May 24.-Fahey anc Farley were the winning combination yesterday afternoon in the driving park grounds, and although the East hampton man is to be officially cred ited with ordering the first Lark wir of the season over the Mechanics Pitcher Farley has quite as muck credit coming his way for the win ping performance he put up. Fahey declared the score forfeit, to O., but before this was done, some extremely lively moments fell to his lot and nc little police persuasion was necessary before the spectators started home ward. At the time the forfeit was handed to the Larks, they led by to 2 score, two were out and one Bridgeport runner was on the paths
 Whether Umpire Fahey reversed his decision is question and whether he ever made one in that closing ses- sion when Hall stepped into 'Farley's slow ball is also another question Miller had famed and McAuley had been tapped or the hand, giving him his base. Kocher was sent in to hit for Clunn, but hoisted out to Luby Then Hall stepped to the plate. Two talls and a strike had been called when Farley hoated over a slow one and Hall stepped into it. He drop ped his warclub and made for the base.
 
 off his mask and started for his posi- tion behind the pitcher. Luby and the entire 'Hamp infield rushed to Fahey and began to kick and kick hard. The argument waxed warm, but the Bridgeport players, thinking that Hall would remain at first went back to the bench. Then Fahey started to don his mask again and waved Hall back to the batter's box. Hey, Snyder and Kustus rushed at the ump like mad bulls.
 They argued that Fahey had made decision and could not change it. Fahey argued back at them and Hey, who is the Bridgeport field captain, began to shove the umpire around a bit. Gene McCann jumped into the melee along with the rest of his crew, whereupon the 'Hamp players also rushed to the scene. This was the signal for a general exodus from the bleachers and when Fahey called for assistance from the police, several of the Northampton officers rushed in and began to stand off the crowd, but with little effect.
 The arbitrator decided it was no place for him and pulled his watch, which Eley promptly knocked from his hand The timepiece was, how ever. recovered and after two min utes had elapsed Fahey declared the game forfeited to Northampton. Aft CT the little fracas, Fahey declared that he had fined both McCann and Eley Previous to this he had eject ed Steamer Flanagan from the game and had tagged him with a S5 fine.

INSURGENTS WILL NOW HOLD RIVAL
 AVIATION MEETS
Especial from United Press

(Specldl IrOIQ aOn1IeQ PTeSSl
 New York, May 24.-When the board America meets this afternoon to de- eide formally upon a place for hold ing the international aviation contest and to award the contract for ffnanc- ing the meet, it is not likely that rep- resentatives of the various aero clubs throughout America will be present. following the split which has resulted in the foundation of rival aero club. The split will probably be followed by new icomplications in the patent suits of the Wright Brother which were Club of America recently recognized the validity of the Wrights patents and agreed that no aviation meets should be held in America unless H. censed by the Wright company.
 The clubs which were formerly af- fliated with the Aero Club of America and which have now broken away to form the American Aeronautic Associ- ation are the aero organizations of In- Harvard, Illinois, Washington and Puffalo. The Aero Club of America declares that the secession of out-of- town clubs will in no way affect the international aviation meet to be held in october. plans for which will be completed this afternoon.
 The insurgents say they will in their turn hold such aviation meetings as they see f1t This will surely be fol- lowed by legal complications for tha Wright company would immediately seek to enjoin any meeting held with out license If the courts uphold the validity of the Wright patents as soms have done heretofore, opposition would be useless.

JEFF WILL SHOW HOW FIT HE IS
 IN STIFF BOUTS
Mistah J0hnsing Says He Takes His Own Sweet Time About
 Training
Special from United Press.)


 San Francisco. May 24-From the -amp of Jeffries at Rowardennan come glittering reports of the splendid con- dition the big fellow is showing, and fight fans are eagerly awaiting his public appearance Friday night that they may get a line for themselves. Jeff is to box three rounds with Bob Armstrong and three with Joe Choyn- ski in the Dreamland ring. This ex- hibition was announced so as to put down for all time the rumor that he could not "come back Just how we'll the plan will succeed remains to be seen, as there are still a number of -Doubting Thomases."
 In this city Jack Johnson is taking his own sweet time about getting into condition. 'I am already in condi- tion to whip Jeffries.'' the negro val- iantly declares. "and there is no ne- ceesfty for hard work"
 Johnson Is keeping up his road work -12 miles of it every morning-but he is fighting shy of the gym. He will do no gym work for some time. '1 have more to lose in this fight than anyone else in the world" declares Johnson. land 1t is foolish to think will not be in condition on July 4. I shall do my own training and I am not taking a correspondence school course in how to do it. Those people who write me letters telling me how to train are wasting their time. I will train in my own way and when I get into the ring with Jeffries will be in shape. If I am whipped-I shall not belt will not be because I am not right"
 It is understood here that Frank Gotch, the wrestler, will join the Jeff ries camp about June 5 or 6.

 Editor Bridgeport Farmer:
 Dear SirlThe Clovers defeated the North Ends 5 to 3. Sunday afternoon, at Hairs lot before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a game on that diamond. The game was very fast and interesting. but the all-around playing of the Clovers brought them the victory. An agreement was made previous to the game that the win ner was to take sixty per cent. of the gross receipts and the loser the bal ance. Everything went along smooth ly until the ending of the ninth in ming. when the North Ends were at bat. There were two men down, when Jaggers batted a ball that bounded in crowd near third baseman. who fielded out on the slide. Umpire called man out, thus ending the game. Players on both teams left field knowing that contest had ended. When the Clovers looked for their money. Manager Fay Tor of the North Ends argued that ball was blocked and that runner was en- titled to take second base. The cap tains of both teams and the umpire were brought together and all admitted that no such an agreement was made in the ground rules. yet Manager Fay for could not see it for he hated to part with the lions share of the best collection ever taken on the field. He was thereby acting against the wishes of his players. who understand the game and clearly saw that man was out Manager Taylor has shown the public that he knows little about bas- ketball and still less about the national game. MT. Taylor is physical direc- tor of the Boys Club and is in posi- ton to make strong and honorable men out of our youngsters. but the example he set Sunday before the large number of boys who were trying to grasp the fine points of the game was that of a crying school boy who lost a few marbles and then fled. The Clovers. however. will not cry for their money, but would like to let the other teams know of the sportsmanship of the North End manager.

The SOkOlS are very much elated by their win over the Newfelds Sunday. It is so long since they tasted the fruits of victory that being the winner is almost lost quantity with them.
 The SYosts love to rub it into the Bullards. remembering the defeat which that club administered to them in their first season with the Indus trial league. Had the Yosts won that cessity for a play off to decide the campions at the end of the season.
 Jack Gallagher looks like fixture in the Crane No. 2 outfeld. He is a fast boy on the paths, covers acres low Under the direction of good coach he ought to be heard from many times this season.
 None of the amateur slab men about town have it on 'Dory'' Nichols of the Black Rocks when he feels like getting into the game. Nichols a few years back was the crack first base man of the Bengal team, but of late he has taken to the heaving art, and is getting by with it. Manager Jack Halpin need not worry when Nichols is working right.
 s on Sunday, the fans turned their at tention to the emi-professional games, more being in attendance at these games than any former contests this season. The West Ends who had the New Rochelle team as the attraction drew the largest crowd, but the throng was not treated to any fair sort of a contest.
 The Clovers and the North Ends are now firing the hammers at one an- other, and it's all over the umpire's decision. They won't be in the lime light for long, as many of the other joining the throwing contest soon.

 |The Industrial league moguls will meet this evening and consider the withdrawal of the Singer and Brass Go. teams. There are a number of the league followers and supporters who would like to know why both of these teams waited till the week of the lea gue opening before they quit.
 The Factory League has a great staff of umpires in Supervisor Dan Shannon and Assistants Art Liver more and Pete Verrelle, both former pitchers, and men who understand ev- cry point of the game. An efficient corps of umpires is most valued as set to any league.
 That diamond on the piece of ground known as Stratford Park, and bound ed by Stratford, Connecticut and Sea- view avenues, ought to go well with the school boys.

THOUSANDS
Nation Pays a Great Tribute to
Former President Upon His
Arrival in New York

New York, June 18.-A reception
that transcribed all of his visits to
the capitals of Europe combined in
point of numbers, enthusiasm and
spontaneity greeted Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt here this morning on his re-
turn to his native land.
The most frankly pleased person
was the returned traveller himself, and
not only by words of thanks, but with
the famous Roosevelt smile and vigor-
ously enthusiastic acknowledgements
of greetings, did he show his appre-
citation of the greatest reception ten

shFieked the impenetraBle mass at
City Hall park, and the Rough Rider
stood Ia his carriage and waved his
hat. The people remembered the colo
neps succinet phrases, and SO did Mr..
Roosevelt, for he never ceased to ac-
knowledge them.
New York has welcomed many no
tables, but never a one attracted the
attention or received the welcome ac-
corded the citizen of Oyster Bay. Be
fore many of the so called "malefac-
tors of great wealth" had arisen for
the half days labors the naval fotil-
la was at Quarantine awaiting the
transferring of the Roosevelt party
from the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria to
the revenue cutter Androscoggin.
Half Holiday opportune.
BY the time the great marts of trade
were in full swing he was being off,
cially welcomed home, and the com
mencement of the half holiday served
chiefly to permit the hundreds of
thousands of workers to delay their
homeward trips to witness the tri-
umph of Roosevelt as the procession
passed up Broadway, under the Wash
ington arch and up Fifth avenue
through ranks of cheering political
and business and social organizations.
Despite the early hour thousands of
ightseers-men, women and children
were at the Battery by 5 o'clock this

chief, would smile broadly and wave
his hand, and the noise began again.
Finally, in despair, the ceremonies
began, Mayor Gaynor simply telling
Mr.. Roosevelt of the joy he felt as
New Yorker Of welcoming home a ma
tive of the city who, in addition to
reaping the highest honors his own
country could bestoW, had likewise ex-
cited the admiration of the capitals
and rulers of Europe and downed the
savage animals in Africa in their lairs.
The mayors remarks were inaudible
except to those within the roped cir
Gle in front of the stand and to the
committeeman and others on the re-
served section of the stand. The peo-
pie seemed content with looking at
the ex-preeident and occasionally
cheering without other incentive.
Hence the same conditions pre-
vailed when Colonel Roosevelt made
his brief reply He thanked the COM
mittee and through it New York and
the states generally which had tender
ed him the welcome, which he felt
more deeply than any honor yet ten
dered him.
II the naval parade was a success
the parade up Broadway and Fifth
avenue was trebly So 1t was here
that the thousands upon thousands
who lined the streets could see the
man who had caused this uproar and
greet him, and the canyon of Broad
way resounded with cheers. Here, as
at the Battery, the office buildings
were damned with sightseers. Even
the wonderful height of the Singer
tower was no obstacle to privileged
ones who gazed at spectacle that
must have resembled an ants process
sion in their eyes.
Many Celebrities in Line.
Following an escort of mounted po-
lice and the band of the historic Sew

riders, mounted and in costume, the
guard of honor. Behind them was

of carriages followed, embracing ma

morning. The reason was twofold.
They wanted to see the departure of
the flotilla of steamers as it started
down the bay for Quarantine, and they
had hopes they would beat the police
to positions of vantage around the
stand of welcome. The latter was a
vain quest, for hundreds of bluecoats
surrounded the platforms and ada
cent space reserved for the reception
committee.
1t was a hurried embarkation of the
welcomers not only at the Battery,
but at more than a hundred piers on
the Hudson and East rivers, for the
rendezvous was set for the Narrows,
connecting the upper and lower bays,
for $50 a. m. The sun was fast dis
polling the morning mist and the light
glinted on gaily decorated craft of
every description. Flags, bunting,
Teddy bears, G. o. P. elephants and
welcome signs were seen everywhere.
Greeted In the Bay.
The time of transferral of the Roose-
welt party had been tentatively fixed
for 9 o'clock, and it was about half
an hour before that the huge Kaiserin
Auguste Victoria was seen threading
her way up the Ambrose channel, the
decks filed with passengers. who
waved greetings to the hundreds OF
smaller craft that surrounded her.
AS the steamer passed the din of
welcome began The guns of Fort
Wadsworth on the Staten Island side
of the Narrows doomed their greeting,
and the artillery of Fort Hamilton on
Long Island echoed noisily. Every
whistle of the hotilla shrieked in ri
valry as the steamer dropped anchor
off Quarantine.
The din was at its height when the
Roosevelt party was espied on the up
per forward deck, the colonel boyishly
waving his hat to Collector William
Loeb and other friends on the revenue
cutter Androscoggin.
BY his side were Mrs. Roosevelt
Mrs Nicholas Longworth, Miss Ethel
and Kermit Roosevelt and Secretary
