BRIDGEPORT COULDN'T
 HIT AND HOLY0kE WON New Players Will Line up Against Spring. field Here Tomorrow Afternoon

Holyoke, May 26-Although Uppy Upham twirled great ball yesterday, the Mechanics could not hit and went down to defeat before the tailenders by to 2.
 A handful of rain -splashed and half frozen fans hugged the bleachers and the soft spots in the grand stand and allowed themselves to be worked up to the highest pitch of enthusiasm on several occasions, when heroic ball players defied the inclennency of the weather and performed star stunts. McAuley, behind the bat for Holyoke, won applause by capturing couple of difficult foul flies, and Russell. the visiting backstop, threw to bases with unerring precision. But it remained for Frank Dang, recently a member of some cow-punching team or other in the West, to make the spectators overwork the applause line, and at every appearance of the hard-hittine Holyoker anywhere near the plate he was given a small, but hearty ovation.
 It was Dang's stinging three-baser to left center in the fourth that paved the way for Holyoke's first run, it was his single in the eighth that knocked in the other two, and it was his remarkable catch in Bridgeport's half of the eighth that prevented a hostile run from coming across.
 The opposing pitchers, Tretter and Upham, worked well on the mound, the home twirler, having a little better of the argument, for he allowed but five hits while his teammates were col lecting six off Upham. The Panama men lost a fine chance to score in the seventh as the result of poor coach ing. Barney was the first batter up and he worked Upham for pass, going down. to second minute later on De-, herty's sacrifice. McAuley then drop ped a single into center field, which ought reasonably to have scored any man from second base, but Gaiser held Barney at the hot corner and the next two men were easy outs.
 Holyoke was the first to score. Dang opened the fourth with huge triple and after Barney had flied out to short Doherty placed a grounder in the same territory, but Hall tried to head off the run and both men were safe. Bridgeport passed out a scare in the third, but nothing came of it. Tretter became a little unsteady and passed the first two men up, but the third popped up a foul which McAuley grab

FrenChman Goes Over Mountain In
 Battered Airship
Wins $30,000 by Flying From
 Paris to Madrid
Especial from United Press.)


 Madrid. May 26-Pierre Vedrine, Frenchman, who today won the Paris Madrid aeroplane race, 7e1 miles, with it's prize of s2O,OO0 from the Petit Parisien and other prizes of more than s1O,O00, is the new aviation hero. Bat ting against fearful odds, in which he had to clear a mountain range nearly 5000 feet high, Vedrine, with patched up machine, completed the last stage of his thrilling race, from Burgos to Madrid, 15O miles, in two hours and 45 minutes.
 His time for the whole race is 10 hours and 19 minutes. The best time made by the railway trains between Paris and Madrid is 26 hours and 6 minutes.
 Vedrine was nearly exhausted when he reached the Getafe Aerodrome, where King Alfonso took part in the reception rendered him. He was ap- parently stupefied and was rushed to a hospital, where he quickly revived.
 M. Gilbert, who had a thrilling mid air battle with an eagle near Wit toria, arrived shortly after Vedrine, having flown more than 800 miles He had to be lifted from his machine. Roland P. Garros, who was forced to descend when only a few miles from San Sebastian, did not complete the race.
 More than 30O,00O people crowded around Getafe Aerodrome to see the finish. It is probable that Alfonso will bestow a decoration upon the winner.
 II think the flight was the most wonderful ever made" the King de- clared. ''The last stage of the race was hazardous in the extreme and that two of the three contestants should have been able to complete it without serious mishap, speaks elo- ouently of the advance made in avia- tion and in aeroplane construction"

Bridgeport in the fifth got to Tretter and by the aia of a double, a scratch hit, a single, a pass and a couple of steals they showed two over the pan, their total for the day In the home teams half of the eighth Duggan flied out to third, Murray walked, Ruel1 doubled and Dang came to the rescue with the big single that closed the fireworks. Dang was caught attempting to steal third. In the ninth Russell got as far as third on Bar ney's error and an infeld out, but there was nothing doing in the tally line. The score:

RUElL. AND
 WALKER FOR
 MECHANICS Trade by Which Hall and Clunn Join HoIyoke Will Help Locals
(By Wagner.l

It looks as if Bridgeport got the better of that deal with Holyoke by which InfieIder Foot Ruell and Pitcher Dixie Walker comes to this city in exchange for Jimmy Hall and returns the advantage doesn't look so great. In batting Ruell hit for .2o4 in S5 games Hall had an average of is greatly superior to Hall and in that department he will help the Me chanics. He played shortstop, right field and also caught 26 games for the tail end Holyokes last season. His fielding average at shortstop was and behind the bat he came through with .944 Halls fielding average was .s31.
 RueI is a. graduate of Notre Dame university, the Indiana institution which has turned out some great New York Giants. Foot" as he is known to the fans, is naturally a good sticker, but with the tail end HoIyokers he naturally didn't accom- plish as much as he would with a live team.
 Manager McCann hasn't announced what he will do with Ruell but the chances are that he will play him at third and put Lou Litschi back at shortstop. RuelTs double beat Bridgeport yesterday
 Dixie Walker is a pitcher Holyoke secured from Jersey City early in the season. He has won several games for the Papermakers and Manager McCann believes he is good twirler. Chalky Clunn wasn't in shape to pitch this year and Manager McCann sent him home to get him into condition. A change of scene may do him good, though. The trade goes into effect tomorrow when Ruell and Walke will be on hand to play against Springfield at Newfield park.

KNOCKOUT
 BROWN WINS
 FROM MURPHY
Sends Harlem Tommy to Dream
 land in Forty Seconds of Fighting

Tommy Murphy was knocked out by Knock Out Brown after forty seconds of fighting in the first round of a. bout before the members of the Madison A. C. in New York. last night. No proof is offered that the bout was not fought on its merits, though there were sew eral queer circumstances connected with the mill The majority of the spectators who saw the bout. how ever were of the opinion that the blond haired little Teuton honestly caused the full drone of the doleful decimal to. be tolled over the former Pride of Harlem
 There was no preliminary sparring. With the opening clang of the gong and the customary touching of finger tips the fight was on- The men clos ed together like fighting bulldogs, Brown ripping a right-hand punch to the ribs and following with a left to the same place. Tommy lunged out with left that stung the Teuton. TSno bore in with both arms flying, rush ing Murphy to the ropes in neutral corner They clinched and exchang- cd punches to the body, Tommy at tempting an inside uppercut that went wide of the mark.
 Break king away, Brown again rushed, swinging a wicked right to the body and then shooting the left in a half push to Tommy's jaw. Tommy top pied over on his back, rolled over and quickly rose to his feet, evidently dis da ming to take the customary count U clear his. head. Murphy walked irto q crashing left and right to the jaw that again tipped him over on his back Tommy writhed, squirmed, kicked, half got up twice and then settled down to the long sleep.
 Referee Dan Tone half pulled Mur- Ihy to his feet. The house was in an uproar. Murphy's seconds went to the referees aid and the apparently unconscious fighter was dragged to his corner, where restoratives evidently were used to bring him to. Several excited persons jumped into the ring, but were soon chased.
 Before Murphy came to his senses Brown left the ring, and he and his followers wended their way to the dressing room Friends of Danny Morgan surrounded him in an attempti to congratulate him. All credit should be given to Brown for his jig-time knockout The knockdown punches, however. did not look to be danger ous, and Murphy's actions while on the floor appeared overdone. Before each knockdown Murphy was leaning i backward, and in his writhings on the floor he maintained a balance that | would have been exceedingly difficult | for a semi conscious scrapper to main | tain.
 Before the fight Danny Morgan told the newspaper men that he had given | Murphy a s3,0O0 guarantee to meet Brown. Murphy got the money be- fore the bank closed at o'clock said Morgan, "and Johnny Oliver has the money in his pocket now"
