Progressives Will
 Aid Democrats In
 Passing Wool Bill
Especial from United Press3

Washington, July 2S-The hope of Republican standpatters that. Presi- dent Taft would be relieved of the dilemma of having to take action on the wool revision bill was blasted to- day when it became known that the progressives in the Senate have pledg- ed aid to the Democrats in the adop- tion of whatever compromise is re- ported by the conferees of the Senate and House on the wool tariff revision bill
 Democratic leaders today admitted that the adoption yesterday of the LaFollette substitute wool bill was a pre-arranged plan. The Republican progressives, in return for Democratic aid in adopting this measure, agreed to give their votes for whatever the conferees may decide upon. In the House, a Democratic majority insures adoption of this conference report In the Senate, the progressive Republi- can-Democratic coalition makes certain that the measure will be put up to President Taft, if present plans are carried out

DOoIan Will Lead
 Philadelphia Now
Shortstop Succeeds Injured Catcher as Temporary Mana
 ger of PhiIlies

Mike Doolan. who is shortstop and captain, will act as manager of the Phillies from now on in place of Char ley Dooin, who broke his leg in a collision at the plate in the game at St. Louis yesterday.
 The Cardinals sure have been the Jinx for the Philadelphia boys this season, as they not only have been beating them right and left, but all of the other troubles of the QuakerS can be laid at their door
 It was while playing the Cardinals on their home grounds this month that Outfelder Magee got so excited that he punched Umpire Finneran, which resulted in his suspension for the bal ance of the season.
 Now comes the accident in the Mound City which will most likely prevent the red-haired leader from playing again this season, and which also may prevent him from even ap> bearing on the bench for at least two months. "
 With their two best players, Magee and Dooin, out of it, the Quakers' chances of winning the National Lea que pennant are practically spoiled. Just think if Cobb and Jennings weren't able to work for the Tigers again. do you think they would have a show to finish first in the American league? Or if McGraw and Mathew son were kept from doing duty for the Giants, would they remain long in the National fight? Not so that you could notice it. &
 The PhilIies are so anxious to get Magee back in the game that they intend appealing to the courts if the Board of Directors don't reinstate him. They believe that the. courts will deem it only just that he be al- lowed to play, as he has been rob- bed of his means of making a living.

"CYCLONE" THOMPSON
 NO WORSE THAN zEPHER
Willie Lewis Has Better of Very Tame Bout in New
 York

Cyclone Johnny Thompson made his bow to New York crowd of boxing fans last night under the guise of the worlds middleweight champion" and the bow was far from an artistic or pugilistic success. The scene was staged at the National Sporting Club with Willie Lewis as the opposing party and if any pair of pugilists has travelled over the teff-round route without showing enough ability to gain ring honors Lewis and Thompson must be con sidered the winning pair. The bout went the full distance to the accom- paniment of booS and misses from the crowd and at the finish it would re- ouire. considerable stretching to call either man the winner.
 In what little open lighting the battle produced Lewis had the call. As a boxer the New Yorker consider ably eXcels the boy from Sycamore, but he was not anxious enough to shine as a boxer to try much of ir last night. From first to last Thomp-- son did the forcing, and the few hard punches which he received were de- livered as he rushed in and Lewis backed away. The result was that the blows did little damage. It was a case of Thompson excelling as an infighter and Lewis in the open fight ing, with neither showing enough of his particular specially to appear to special advantage at any time.
 In two of the rounds it might be said that Lewis had a shade the bet ter of the milling, and in two more Thompson was entitled to the call, but in each instance the shade was of the half-breadth variety. In the other rounds there was nothing to make either mans efforts appear to advantage. Nothing resem bling a knockdown was uncorked by either. A few bruises could be noticed on the faces of both fighters, but the punches evidently landed on very tender spots.

Catcher Kelly To
 Join Pittsburg
Marty O'Toole's BackstOp Goes to Pirates For $7,30O and
 One Player

St. Paul, Minn., July 2S.-Catche William Kelly. battery mate of Mar tin O'Toole, $22,50O pitcher of St. Paul and Pittsburg Baseball Club, is already sold to the Pirates. Kelly has been bought by President Bar ney Dreyfuss for s7.300 cash consid- eration and a catcher worth $2,500 in exchange.
 It is said that announcement of the sale of Kelly has not been made because the St. Paul and Pittsburg owners had not decided upon the backstop to come here in place of Kelly.
 '"The men are such staullch friends and are of so much aid to each other that I will go the limit to loop them together said Manager Kelly. "O'Toole believes much of his suc- cess has been due to the work of Kelly behind him. It is largely from receiving O'Toole's wicked shoots that Kelly is on the lay-off list. I cer- tainly do not wish to keep the boys apart, and will endeavor to have granted their plea to be allowed to go together"

GIBBS WINS
 ! GREAT CAME i FROM WINGS
Sherwood's Wild Throw in Tenth
 Allows Ladd to Score
(By Wagner.)

Dame Fortune, the fckle jade, has been giving Freddy Gibbs the frosty glance lately, but she smiled coquet- tishly at him yesterday and the stocky twirler, with the aid of his rainbow curve was able to beat New Haven by 1 'toe. It took ten innings be- fore the Mechanics were able to put the skids under the Savin Rock rough riders but the finish was abrupt and satisfying to the good sized ladies' day crowd.
 1t was a wide heave by Kid Sher- <vsod that enabled the Mechanics to cop the laurels. The Kid had been playing ashy ball all the afternoon but he stumbled in the tenth. After the teams had gone scoreless for nine rounds. Hi Ladd for a starter beat out a hit. that Pope did well to stop Then Gyglf let Dents throw get away from him and Hi went to second. Fs6ot Rpell- bunted but Hirthought it was fotfl@. So he fingered s5Sn second wkile Rueii went out. Benny Kauff s pett was a pop to Waters. Then came the fatal play. Bob Stowe slash ed asgrounder at Sherwood and the td5Ingster made a good stop. Hi dust ed for the plate and when the ball got bE Gyglis outstretched mitt, Ladd scored the big run.
 ' Gibbs deserved to win. He let the Elugging visitors down with four drives and did not issue a pass Gib- byss rainbow ball came up there like a watermelon but although the Wings kept hacking away they~sgeneEally kplashed it into the air or sent easy Erounders. Elliott Dent also pitched In excellent style. The Mechanics grabbed only five hits. one a scratch that eluded Kid Sherwood's finger tips. iitschi also laced a long three bag ger to deepest left. Hi Ladd con- tributed two singles. Tom Crook played a smashing game and made two of his justly celebrated pickups that saved the infielders from errors. Rocky Stone held Gibbs up welIssand caught the only two New Haveners who tried to pilfer.
 The visitors only threatened in the seventh and tenth In the seventh Pastor was safe when Stone let the third strike get away. Pope sacri- feed. ..
 Hi Ladd made. a good catch of Coughs fly and Gibbs forced Pop Eos ter to send a grounder to the box In the tenth Foster hit for base and went to. second. when Stowe juggled Connelrs grpundsr,- ,Tbsaa Gihbs fam ned Gyglf and Foot Rue11 set the fans cheering when he raced over to the third base ebfeachers and got under SherwcodAs foul. which came after the Kid had two strikes and three balls.

CARL MORRIS WANTS
 S15,OOO FOR ONE BOUT
Oklahoma White Hope Also Demands $1,O0O For Train :
 ing Expenses

Carl Morris, the big Western heavy weight, is really beginning to think he's a champion. When a Philadel- phia club offered to put him on for six rounds with some dub, Morris, through his manager, Harry Edwards, declared that he would not think for a moment of boxing in the Quaker City unless he received $15,000 for his first appearance. If successful, the prices for the next two bouts were to be raised, so that he would be en- r1ched by the tidy sum of $50,00o be- fore he hiked back home. The agree ment, too, must provide for him $1 ,00( for training and three round-trip tick cts from Tulsa, Okla.
 It is to laugh. Perhaps Mr. Ed wards nor Morris appreciate the fact that $50,000 is whole lot of money. Get hep, you're rolling on your back

Owner Clarkin Objected but Finally Agreed to Bring

Owner C1arlin of the Hartford team objects strongly to- bringing his team to Steeplechase Island, Sunday, but he finally agreed to have the Senators on hand next Sunday to play the Me chanics. Manager McCann had a telephone conversation with Owner Carkin this morning, and the Hart ford boss said he would give the locals trimming Sunday.
 In spite of the fact that the club is in first place and going fine, the at tendance has been very poor for the past two weeks, with the exception of last Saturdays game. Manager Mo Cam is beginning to be discouraged. He feels that it is of little use to spend money in getting a winner un- less the fans turn out and support the club

 Freddy Gibbs had things breaking his way at last. Although he has been twirling fine ball lately, the team has been unable Co make runs when he is working or else has played poor ly in the field.
 Dent had a lot on the ball The Mechanics might be playing yet if it hadn't been for Sherwood's wild throw
 Pope played a startling game for the Wings. The ShOrtstOp almost by going back of third and making great stop of a grounder. Hi just managed to beat the throw by fast running.
 Fido Sutton won't do as an umpire. His decisions aren't so bad but he doesn't know enough to be boss on delayed for ten ,sslninutes while Jerry Cornell, Clyde Waters, Tony Pastor and few more of the visitors kicked about a ground rule. Sutton should have pulled a watch on them and made them go back to their positions. The spectators don't pay good money to hear 8 lot of chin music.
 Capt. Tom Crook hit the ball hard each time, but he couldn't land cone safe. Tony Pastor robbed him by a fine stop in the seventh.
 Foot Ruell earned the plaudits of the mob in the tenth when with two on bases and two out, he ran to the fence in front of the third base bleachers and caught Sherwood's foul.
 
 The Mechanics play double head CT in Springfield tomorrow, and may be the fur won't fly. Manager Me Cam expects to use Uppy Upham and Chief Snyder against the Ponies.
 Pop Foster had to doff his cap for the fine running catch he made of Eley's short fly in the sixth. The ball looked as if it would drop safe, but Pop rushed in and just managed to spear it.
 Bob Stowe continues his batting streak. He planked out solid sin gle in the eighth, but died trying to steal, second
 Elliott Dent, including yesterdays game, has struck out 100 men this season. It wouldn't be surprising if Brooklyn, to which he belongs, gave him trial in the fall.
 The New Haven Journal-Courier did a great injustice to Gygl in this morn ing's account of the game. It said "Kid Sherwood threw perfectly to Gygli who let the ball go through him and Ladd scored the winning run" Take it from us, Sherwood didn't throw perfectly to Gygli. The ball was away off the bag and Gygli bare ly touched it although he stretched as far as he could without leaving the
