MECHANICS UNLOAD CARGO
 OF HITS AND DEFEAT WINGS
McCann's Men Give ReisigI Bad Beating and Also Slaughter Cha|ky CIunn

New Haven, Sept 2.-The Me chanics drew a lot of base hits out of the bank yesterday and piled up 27 large sized swats at Savin Rock. thereby slaughtering New Haven by II to 4. Eley, Crook, Ruell, Kauff and Ladd did great slugging for Me- Cann's men and Freddy Gibbs was strong when he replaced Upham in the sixth.
 The New Haven Journal-Courier prints the following about the con test:
 .Bugs'' Reisigl George Cameron's prophet to lead the Cleveland team into the Promised Land, was swept off the mound like chaff before the wind, in the heaviest hitting home game of the season yesterday. The chatter and rattle of twenty an base hits swept a brace of twirlers off the mound before Bridgeport had thanked the rebels, who had planned to harass them on the march to VIC tory; and the eccentric Bugs was one of the brace. He did not last three innings.
 When he walked man after two doubles and a single had been peeled of his delivery, Bugs" fguratively speaking, '.curled up and died. He slammed the sphere to Waters yell
 
 ed on his sweater and stamped across the diamond to the club house, where he remained until the smoke had cleared away.
 "Bugs" peeked through the door of the club house in the sixth inning to see Upham, Bridgeports twirler, swept off the slab. Gibbs, however, was too much for the locals and his tightness held the game we'll in hand. It was poor exhibition, but 1t had McCann worried, more than once.
 It had the general appearance or a trouncing for the White Wings. from the first. Eley belted Reisigl for a single to left field right off the reel and stole second shortly before Litschi was given base on balls. Crook hit out over Pope who went through an Alphonse and Gaston perfermancs with Cough while Crook went safely to first With three on bases Ladd singled to left field, scoring Hey Ruell hit to Pope, who nailed Litschi at the plate as he was about to score. Fast irfield work. prevented further talIies. A hit to right field by Stone placed him on the bags in the second He was brought home by Crooks hit to left field
 In the third Ruell slammed one of ReisigTs benders for two bases. send-' ing the pill to left field. Kauff hit to right. scoring RueH, Stow was walked Upham hit to left, scoring Kauff.

800 this outffelder, who has made tflir- fty home runs this season. Chicago later put in a, claim for the player The fact that no less than nine big league club put in drafts for Cravath at Cincinnati, yesterday, makes it ap- pear that Horace Fogel made pres ent of Bransfield to the Cubs The sale Cor presentation) of Brans- field to Chicago at this time looks like "a mighty cheap piece of baseball manipulation, and strengthens the be- lief that Tom Lynch's circuit Is not yet rid of the curse of syndicate base ball. This action strengthens the be- lief that Charles Webb Murphy, or Charles Taft, whom he represents owns both the Cubs and Phillies While Bransfield appears nearly ''aM- fn'' for major league service, he has had long rest on the bench this year and may prove mighty valuable man to the Cubs on their long home fight for this seasons National League pen nant. Certainly, he should prove much better than young Safer, who has been an absolute frost
 This is not the first time that the Chicago combination has left itself open to censure. Last sea- son, when the Cubs were without the services of a southpaw, and when they were hardest pressed in the fight, it was Fogel who turned over Pitcher Foxen to Chicago. Such graceIess ac- tions as these are unfair to Chicago's rivals, and make a joke of the Ma tional League.

Cornell Looks Forward To Most
 Brilliant Season
An Eleven of Veterans To Have One of Biggest Ath- letic Fields in Country.

Ithaca, N r., Sept. 2.-Cornell ex- poets to have brilliant football sea- son. The team will be one of veter- ans. as only three of last years play CTS were graduated. Head Coach Dan iel A. Reed expects to have his men out for practice in less than two weeks
 The schedules of nearly all of the colleges are the best in years. Cor nell has lost the Harvard game but has taken on Michigan, which will go long way toward deciding the inter sectional supremacy. The Michigan game will be the first big one of the season in Ithaca and will come on No vember Il, just a week after the first real big game of the year between Harvard and Princeton at Princeton. On November IS Cornell will go to Chi cago to try conclusions again with Chicago University. The schedule will close with the usual game with Penn sylvania on Thanksgiving Day.
 Cornell will have new field this season on which to practice. When completed Cornell will have one of the biggest athletic fields in the country. It contains 55 acres and is divided into five fields. The Students Commons, where all students will find recreation, will have seven baseball diamonds and tennis courts. The class teams will have another field and the varsity baseball, football and tracks field will be enclosed and bordered by a huge training house with quarters for all teams and visiting teams, with shower baths, plunges and other accommoda- tions A main stadium capable of seat ing 5000 will be erected near the foot ball field. The running track wild be constructed around the field and the baseball diamond to one side, with an- other large stand. Other bleacher stands will be constructed as needed.

CARDELLA
 AND HICKEY
 ARE DRAFTED
Springfield Player Goes to Giants and Cleveland Gets Hartford Outfielder.
(By Wagner.l

Only two players in the Connecti- cut league were drafted by the big leagues, according to the list announc- ed today. Third Baseman. Gus Gar della was drafted by the New York Giants and Outfielder Spike Hickey of Hartford was grabbed by Cleveland. These men were looked over by scouts Mike Finn for the Giants and Slapper Sam Kennedy for Cleveland.
 The results of the draft, which was held at Cincinnati yesterday show that Brooklyn was the luckiest club. The Dodgers put in claims for 32 plays and drew 16 so that they turned over check for s27, 900. Some players were in great demand, instances being Outfielder Cravath of Minneapolis, third Baseman Witt of San Francisco, Infielder Rath of Baltimore, Pitcher Dubuc of Montreal and Shortstop Crandall of Memphis, When one or more clubs put in drafts for the same player, they draw lots to see who gets him. Detroit finally secured Dubus, for whom $10.000 was refused early in the season and also got Witt Pitts burg grabs Cravath, although Phila- delphia claims to have purchased the player before the drafting season. The questions of other players in dis pute have not been settled yet.
 Among the former Connecticut lea guers drafted are two former Holyoke stars. They are pitcher Jimmy Law ender, and Catcher Doc Kerr The Chicago Cubs get Lavender and Kerr goes to Pittsburg. Eddie Justice, the old Hartford shortstop, who couldn't hit 200 in this league, goes to Cleve- land. Lavender has been, with Provi- dence. Kerr with Trenton and Jus tice with Fort Wayne of the Central league.

Crook, in the fourth, hit to right. He went to second on the throw in and was sac rificed to third by Ladd. Ruell walked. Kauff's long single to center scored Crook. Bridgeport secured its seventh tally in the fifth when Up- ham. after being placed on the bags by a single to left and sacrificed to second by Hey. scored on Litschi's center field hit.
 Bridgeport closed with four more runs. Litschi singled in the eighth, was sacrificed to second and stole third. He came home on Ladd's three-bag- ger Rev.

Many Baseball Contests Crowded
 Into Three Days
Sept. 20, 21 and 9 to See Much National League Baseball Of Great Inn portance in Pennant Race

Unless the national pastime runs foul of another deIuge the three days calendared as September 20, 21 and g will see more general action than any other three of the year In that time the Giants will be in St. Louis, Brook lyn at Cincinnati and the Philies at Chicago. s8
 And during those three days, wealth CT permitting, of course, the six clubs involved will play no less than IT games. Unless Chicago and Pittsburg suffer sudden relapses there is apt to be more wild excitement crowded into those three days than you could shake a stick at.
 And for obvious reasons the 1T games should be of all kinds of inn portance to the pennant race.
 All the games postponed during the past few days will be played off then It just happens that the three East ern clubs are dated up with the clubs they owe games all at the same time
 The Giants have two to work off with the Cardinals, and probably will play their double headers on the 29th and 21st Chicago and Philadelphia, with three postponements hanging over them. have no alternative but to play them at that time
 Brooklyn is scheduled at Cincinnati for the 10th and Fist only, but the 22d is an open date for both clubs, and it will be utilized to wipe out one of the battles that could not be worked off at Washington park.
 It is a hard schedule flor both New York and Chicago, but should be cas- fer for the Giants to hurdle than for the Cubs to pass over. Chances pitch ing staff is crumbling so fast that a new crack shows every few minutes
 Chicago fans hate to think what it will look like after six games in three days. In New York the possibilities of the case furnish basis for much pleasant speculation.

Danny Murphy
 Says Johnson Is Best In The Business
Declares Senator's Star Is Is Best Hurler He Ever Faced in His Life Math- ewson Not Barred.

Danny Murphy, the Philadelphia Athletics right fielder, who gained his early experience with Norwich when that city was included in the Nutmeg circuit, names Johnson, Walsh, Gregg, Cicotte and Ford, in that order, as the best twirlers in the American league. He says that Walter Johnson, right, Is the best pitcher he ever faced in his life, and he doesn't bar the inn peccable Mathewson when the latter defeated the Mackmen on the 1905 worlds series. Walsh, he says, is the Funniest pitcher to face, as you know what is coming. The miner of Meri- den, Danny says, only has a fast one and a splitter. but the fielding behind him makes him invincible- This is due to the fact that you cannot whale the spitbaH upward. but must keep 1t on the ground, and it rolls along in dolentIy at that Gregg is a corker, according to Murphy, who states that fhe Portland pEasterer knows how to mix his stuff up better than any youngster he has seen break into the league for some time.

 That the bout between. Packey and Wolgast will take place was absolutely decided upon following lengthy con- Terence between Emil Thiry and Tom Jones, managers of Mcfarland ana Woigast respectively, after the chi- cagoan's manager had consented to call off the proposed six-round bout between Mcfarland and Kelly at St Louis on September B. a
 Now that the Woleast-McFarIar.d skfrmish seems slated for fuIflmeut. word comes from foreign shores thai the Jack Johnson -Bombardier Wells bout is to be postponed on account Of the illness of Johnson's wife.

Jack Johnson
 Can See No One
 Who Can Lick Him

Apparently Jack Johnson does not think much of the ability of Sam Langford, Sam McVey or Bombardier Wells, whom he may meet, in coming contests. Johnson is now in Paris and is praising the French capital just as he previously lauded the people of London. Johnson gave out a state ment recently in which he spoke as follows:
 There is no present prospect of any one licking me. Next month I am go- ing over to England and polish off Mr. Wells. Bombardier Billy hasn't got a ghost of a chance with me. Then am going with Hugh Mcintosh to Aus tralia, where I will lick McVey and Langford. I expect little trouble from either one of the pair. The trimming
