About week ago Pete had Bridgeport paving the air and made McCann's men go 13 in nings to win. Yesterday at Steeple- chase. Wilson's southpaw slants re re. ceived such a hearty welcome that Manager Connery sent Pete to the shade of the bench after Bridgeport had collected nine hits and six runs in four innings. Lsakoff was sent in and after getting by for three innings the Mechanics jarred him for eight runs in the seventh and eighth, mak- ing the final score 14 to ?.
 Dixie Walker won his fourth straight game since Joining Bridge port. The human string bean was putting lots of stuff on the ball and the Senators were popping up or hit ting easy splashes to the infield. The gentle rain came down in the early innings and made it hard for Walker to control his stuff, but after the drizxle ceased. it was good night for the leaders.

Springfield Union.) )

as (OpTInSHeIQ On1On.) tT /, It is barely possible that Dan O'Neil the New Britain manager, who is now on his way to Cuba, for the purpose of bringing back Third Base man Almeida and Outfielder Marsans, in order that they may be delivered to the Cincinnati club by July l. will pass the Cuban pair on the high seas, if any credence can be placed in a report in the Cincinnati Times-star of Thursday evening. Says the Cincin- natl paper: "Marsans and Alneida, the Cuban athletes wka were recently purchased from the New Britain club, are not to be turned down because of any color line. Neither have they vanished into the depths of their na- tive isle, as has been reported. On the contrary, both of the young men are exceedingly active, are right there on the job, and will be right here in Gin cinnati towards the end of next week They agreed to the terms offered them by Mr Hermann Wednesday, and have been ordered to report as quickly as convenient which means not later than July l.
 MT. Hermann investigated the fam- lilies and records of both young men. He found, beyond dispute or cavil, that they are well-educated Spaniards of good families. Marsans' folks are quite well-to-do, while Almeida's s fath- CT is pretty near in the millionaire stakes. Both their fathers are Span ish-born, and there isn't a chance % denominate either of the boys as chocolate soldiers.
 'The two Cubans will be used as utility men. They are hardly likely to displace any of the present regulars. but they may come in specially handy against lefthanded pitchers, as both of them have the utmost contempt for southpawed hurlers. Their com ing does not necessarily mean the passing of any present Reds. as the team is way under the 25 limit now and needed some more utility players,

Benny Kauff Drops a Few Points
 But Still Leads Club

Hi Ladd had a batting streak last week and with the aid of the three hits he got at Steeplechase yesterday the old boy is now going at a ,.S24 clip. Benny Kauff had a mild slump but is still hitting up a BAY pace. Bob Stowe reaches the 200 mark for the first time this season and now looks as if he had hit his stride. A few good weeks and he'll reach .25O. Lou Litschi fell off a few points and just manages to stick ir the 300 class. These averages include yester- days game and will therefore differ from averages published in other pa pers and which take in only Fridays or Saturdays games. Here they are.

COLUMBIA LOOKS GOOD
 FOR POUGHKEEPSIE RACE.
New York Crew Looks Fully as Strong As Cornell.
Especial from United Press. ]

Poughkeepsie, June 26.-An in creasing belief in the ability of the Columbia oarsmen to hold their own against Cornell is noticeable here, to- day on the eve of the big intercol- Iegiate regatta tomorrow. Columbia and Cornell are the only two crews consid dered.
 The loss of Stroke Reath from the Pennsylvania boat has not been over come. Syracuse has not impressed the critics and Wisconsin has never figured in the estimates. The senti- ment was overwhelmingly for Cornell when the crews first reached the Hudson but the New York men. un- der the watchful eye of Coach Rice, have reeled off several notable trials. Unless Cornell has something in re- serve-and she usually has-Colum- bia is every whit as strong as the Ithacans.
 The betting still favors Cornell but as good odds as 5 to 4 are looked for when the Columbia hosts arrive. The varsity four-oared race Is scheduled to be rowed at o'clock, the freshmen eight at 4:30 and the big varsity at 5:30.
