The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1911-06-09
(By Wagner.)

That old trick of tying a string to
a pocketbook and yanking the cord
as somebody is about to pick. up the
purse, is being worked by the Mechan-
les these days. Yesterday they left
a game lying around loose where Hol-
yoke could pick it up, and then just
as the Papermakers had it sailed
away, McCann's men pulled the string
and took the game back by to =.
Lend us your ears, Steve and Joe and
Fritz. Holyoke was ahead by to
in the ninth and Bridgeport had two
out and a man on second. Folks were
leaving the stands and the fair fans
who had come for Ladies' day were
putting on their gloves.
Then with Hank Gagain on second
and three runs needed to tie, Lou
Litschi belted to left for a base, scor-
ing Mr.. Gagain. Tom Crooks got two
strikes and then soaked a liner to
right, that sent Litschi to third. AS
Hi Ladd came up, Manager Mild Mike
Doherty sent Tretter to the stable and
put Gaiser in the box. Hiram well
coined the newcomer with a shot
through shortstop that brought Lit
schi home. Only one run needed to
tie now and Ed Naylor roofing hard.
Foot Ruell helps defeat his old team
by pumping safety through the in
field, scoring Crooks. Hi Ladd now
on second and one run necessary to
win. Benny Kauff steps to the plate,
and after taking one vicious swing,
plants a swat in left that brings Ladd
in with the hurrah tally. Young Mr..
Reich, the hustling refreshment ven
der, gives away an ice cream cone in
his excitement, and Mike Kelly falls
down the grand stand stairs.
1t was a funny game any way you
look at it. First Uppy Upham went
in there and pitched like a streak for
five innings, and then after being tap
ped a little in the sixth, got by until
the ninth. In the last stanza with
Bridgeport ahead by 4 to 8, the visit
ors got to Uppy and made four runs.
They had touched him for two triples
and a single and had a man on third
with one down, when Manager Nc
Cam sent Tex Rumsey in Tex al
lowed one more hit and one tally, but
that was all.
Tretter for Holyoke breeZed along
fine, and the Mechanics didn't do
much except in the second when they
scored three on hits by Stowe and
Gagain, a pass to Ruell, and Doherty's

M'PARTLIN
HERE TO SEE
jim 0'R0URKE
Ousted Waterbury Manager Has
Conference With League
Secretary

Pop McPartlin, the Waterbury man
ager who was recently canned by
Owner Carl Pace of the Brass City
club, came to town last night to see
Secretary James H. ORourke of the
Connecticut league. The two had
quite a long conference regarding the
matter. McPartlin claims he had an
iron clad contract with Pace, which
stated that the manager could not be
sold, traded or released In view of
this fact, McPartlin fails to see how
Pace can get rid of him before the
contract expires, and the red faced
manager will take the case to court
if necessary.
Secretary O'Rourke was reluctant to
discuss the case, but finally said that
it looked to him as if McPartlin had
the better of the argument. "He who
dances must pay the fiddler remark
ed the secretary.
Another prominent baseball man who
saw the contract said he didn't see
how a man who knew anything about
baseball could have given McPartl1n
such an iron clad document. A man
versed in baseball law would be too
wise to tie himself up by such an
agreement, this authority declared.

Overall To Join

Pitcher Claims His Arm Has

Chicago, June 9.-Orval Overall
probably will join the Cubs and pitch
for them within the next month.
Negotiations are now under way that
may bring the big pitcher back to
the team. Overall announced that
he will come here within a short
time and that he will make a visit
with his old teammates. Beyond that,
he said he had pitched two games Of
ball for a team at Angels Camp, Cal,
this season, and that his arm is bet
ter than it has been since the first
of last June. Overall claims his
curve ball is breaking as we'll as it
ever did.
Overall did not intimate that he
intends, to return to the team to play,
but the moment that Manager Chance
heard that he was coming east, nego-
tiationS were opened to get him back
to the club. The chances are that
they will succeed.
The news came in a letter to Nor
decai Brown announcing that the
gold mine in which he and Overall
are interested is panning out even
better than was expected. Overall

ly to see that the mining machinery

McAIeer Has Bad
Luck With Team
Washington Manager Knows
Game But Material Poor

Jimmy McAleer deserves better
luck.
For many years Jimmy has been
mana ing teams in the American
league and shouldering the blame for
the inability of his men. AS a man
abundance of ability and finds an al
most total lack of playing caliber in
those under him.
Other managers are round carry
ing far less ability than McAleer has,
but are several places higher in the
Detroit News. They have the men;
McA1eer hasn't.
While in Detroit last week Nc
Aleer was as disguised as any man
in the world. 1t is rather tough on
a man to sit on a bench and know
put up the sort of front that the
Washington team put up on it's west
ern trip.
Washington should have beaten
Detroit four straight games last week,
considering the kind of pitching the
Nationals worked behind and the
lack of pitching force they were ask
ed to bat against, and also the way
the Detroit team played. Washington
took two games; they refused to win
the two others.
McAleer knows baseball all the
way through. He knows ball play
ers thoroughly both as to personality
and playing ability and he knows
enough to keenly realize how few
players he has been able to gather.
Last spring McAleer took an army
of men south with him. He was dis
cussing his luck.
Il had seven outfieIders and I
wouldn't pay one little dollar for any
one of them"
McAleer had others but when the
season opened McAleer found himself
compelled to shift back to his old
lineup and he knew better than any
one in the country how weak that
lineup was.
His pitching staff is McAleer's only
hope at present. He has Walter
Johnson, Long Tom Hughes, Dixie
Walker, Bob Groom and Dolly
Gray.
Johnson, Hughes and Groom are
the pick of the quintet. but Hughes
will be in shape to hand the Tigers

PAPKE WINS
FIGHT FROM
jim SULLIVAN
Beats English Champion b!
Knockout in Ninth Round
of Great Battle

London, June 9-Billy Papke Of Ke-
vance, Ill, stopped Jim Sullivan, the
middieweight champion of England, in
the ninth round of their scheduled 20
round bout before a huge crowd in the
Palladium here last night. Late in
the ninth round the American dropped
Sullivan with a vicious right upper
cut. The bell rang when the count
reached five and Sullivan tottered to
his feet and staggered to his corner.
When the gong changed the beginning
of the tenth round, Sullivan was I'M
able to stand. and the referee, Eugene
CORR, awarded the fight to Papke.
While 1T lasted the fight was gruell-
ing. Sullivan was nervous at the
start, but soon settled down to the
going. The Illinois Thunderbolt fore
ed the milling from the start. For a
time Sullivan. with his lighting left
jabs, was able to stand off the rug
ged American. Papke frequently sue
ceeded in getting in close and when
ever he did so his savage infighting
weakened the Briton. Sullivan shot
in let's and rights with the precision
of sharpshooter, but the American
only shook his blond head and bored
in for more. Gradually the Ameri-
cans strength began to tell and early
in the ninth it was seen that Sullivan
was almost gone.
In the early part of the ninth round
Papke, fighting like a bulldog, chased
Sullivan around the ring. Sullivan's
jabs were growing weaker, while 1t
seemed as If the Americans rushes
were gaining in strength and ferocity
every time he charged. Several of
Papke's blows grazed Sullivan's head
and twice Papke hurt Sullivan cruel
ly with crashing drives to the body.
Toward the end of the round Sulli-
van, unconsciously lowering his guard
to escape Papke's vicious body blows,
left his jaw unprotected. The Ameri-
cans right mauler swished upward,
his fist landing with thud flush on
Sullivan's jaw. The Briton crashed
to the floor and was attempting to
get up on one knee when the gong
changed the end of the round. Sulli-
van staggered to his feet and tottered
TO his corner. He was all in and I'M
able to answer the call of time in the
tenth round
TIE contest was announced as for
the middleweight championship of the
world. purse of $4,000 and large
side bet 1t was staged under the
management of Hugh D. Mcintosh, the
Australian promoter, who hired the
Palladium, one of London's noted mu-
sic halls, for that purpose, and the
building was crowded to the doors.
Throughout the fighting was fast
and furious. Sullivan was the clev-
erer at long range, but Papke excelled
at infighting. There was much clinch-
ing and hitting in the clinches, and the
referee, Eugene CORR, was compelled
to stay in the ring, having difficulty
at times in separating the men. He
twice warned Papke.
