Mclaughlin And

Tennis Experts Will Meet to Decide Who Chal-
 l5nges Larnedz ta

Newport, R. l., Aug. 30-For the third time in the history of the All Corners National Lawn Tennis Tour nament, the right to challenge Will liam A. Larned for the title lies be- tweens Beals c. Wright of the East, and Maurice E. Mclaughlin, of the Pacific Coast, as the two won their places in the final round of the na- tional championship tournament on the turf courts of the Casino today.
 Wright defeated Thomas c. Bundy, of California, in three sets at 6-4, 6-3, 6-1, thus turning the tables on the winner of the All-Comers last year, who in the final at that time disposed of the former national cham pion. Mclaughlin had an easy time with Gustave F. Touchard also SCOT ing in three sets at 6-2, 6-4 6-3 Mclaughlin therefore repaid the debt for the defat which Touchard admin istered to him at Longwood last month.

 met his famous Eastern rival on the worst of the two playing surfaces, be- sides the racquet court building. Wright was keenly alive to the situa- ton, and knowing that the shots of the Californian would not come off on such a soft surface he played a waiting game, steadily and carefully. and allowed Bundy to defeat himself by his many nets and outs.

GotCh Confident
 Of Beating Hack
Champion Leaves Iowa In Few Days for Scene
 of Battle

Chicago, Aug. 30.-With the arriv- al of Champion Frank Gotch in Chi cago in a few days for his worlds ti- schmidt at Commiskey Ball Park on Sept. 4, the last chapter before the
 actual meeting of the two giants of the wrestling world will have been chronicled. Hackenschmidt in his training camp on the lake shore in Edgewater is gaining the perfection of condition he started out to attain. In Humboldt, Iowa, Gotch already has accomplished what he started out for in the way of condition. But it is his arrival here that will complete the setting for the big event on La bor Day. The remainder of his con- ditioning will be gained at the Chica- go Athletic Club where the cham -pion intends to take just enough work to prevent him from becoming stale before the day of the contest.
 From Gotch whom the writer vis- ited a couple of days ago in Hum boldt, comes a few pointers hitherto not given to the public. The cham pion hasn't beeen talking a great deal about his opponent, and what he thinks he has been keeping to him. self. There is no doubt in the minds of those who have been closely asso- ciated with Gotch as to whether or not he is worried as to the outcome of the match. His training work has been the hardest he ever has un- dertaken, which indicates in full meas ure that he is looking for the tough est kind of an argument when he steps into the ring with the Russian Lion." While the big Iowa farmer has all the confidence in the world in his own ability to retain the title, he intends to take no chances. He told the writer that he did not think Hack could have improved to such an ex- tent since their first meeting three years ago to make the battle a more strenuous struggle than it was at that time. While saving this Gotch did not say that he himself had i'm proved, but by the tone of his talk it can be taken for granted that what the champion doesn't know about the game isn't worth knowing.
 The promoters match announced to-day that practically all the reserved seats for the Labor Day go have been sold, and that the greatest gate" ever known in a wreStlingchampi piOn- ship will be assured.
 The match will be held in the White SoX baseball park, which has a seat ing capacity of 23,000. Only grand stand seats have been reserved at $10, $5 and $3, and it is admitted that the advance sale already totals more than S100,00O. The 10000 bleacher seats will be thrown open to the public on Monday at S1 a seat. The managers are confident 30,00O to 50,000 persons the largest crowd ever present at such an event, will see the match.
 The Chicago Empire Athletic Club to-day that Dr.'s A. Price and J. J. Davis, clubN physicians, would examine both Gotch and Hack schmidt before they entered the ring and that neither man would be per- mitted on the mat unless he was n perfect physical condition.

Between Teller And McCann, Gene
 The Better Leader
So Declare Brass City Fans Who Pick Mechanics As 1911 Champs-But Few Can See the Ponies.

Up Waterbury way the fans expect to see the Mechanics grab the pen nant. Commenting on the possibili- ties, the aWterbury American says:
 There are probably few fans in- deed who expect to see Connery's s crew cop the bunting and there are not many more, outside of Springfield, that look upon Springfield as the com ing champions. while there are any number of close followers of the game who made early season bets on Bridge port and haven't begun to worry yet. Bridgeport has a team of heavy hit ters that seem to be going fairly we'll while the Ponies depend on their wild methods of running bases to get them by, as their hitters are nothing to be proud of. The pitchers of all three teams have been showing good form lately and seem fit to go through the rest of the season with a rush and Springfield, with its light hitting club, can't run bases unless it's men get on the paths
 The same sheet considers that Me Cam has a better aggregation than that which fought with Waterbury last year for the bunting. Speaking of the Mechanics and the Ponies, the Waterbury writer says:
 "Of the two, the Mechanics seem to blow up less easily. They are a steadier. Louis Litschi is not the ex- citable player that little Jimmy Hall was and his presence served to bolster up the infield in tight places, while McCann is the better of the two man. agers, with the more level head and more extended knowledge of the intri- cacies of the game"

CRANE NO. 2 AND HUBBELLS
 TO PLAY GAME Saturdays Contest First Between Factory and Industrial
 League Teams
By Ira Hall.

For the first time since both leagues have been in existence a game has been arranged between represt- atives of the Industrial and Factory leagues. Manager Peter Colljung of the Crane No. outfit, champs of the lndustrials and Manager Mike Arnold sky, Of the Harvey Hubbells runners up for the pennant in the Factory league conferred, during the past few days and have arranged for their clubs to meet this Saturday at Crane Field. Some fthe clubs may have played practice games before the reg ular series started, but this is the hrst time that a game has been ar ranged to test the real merit of the respective leagues.
 Both hines will use their crack battery. The Cranes will trot out
 'Peachy'' Graham to do the hurling and Jack Egan for the back stop work. Gallagher, whose work has kept the Hubbells up there all season, will twirl for hi soutgfit with Rev. holds nthe receiving end As there is no Connecticut league games sched- uled for Newfield park undoubtedly a big crowd will turn out
 Arrangements for the formal clos ing of the season and for the pres entation of the pennant and priz as made this evening at the meeting of the Industrial league to be held at the City Hall
 As two of the managers of the City league were unable to be present at the meeting called for last evening, word was sent around in the afternoon calling the meeting off. Instead q session will be held Friday evening of this week. If there is no reseind- ing of the action calling for an ex- tension, the resultant series will be started this Sunday. If action is res cinded the league will play the con- tests postponed from last Sunday, the Rocks vs. the Yosts at Yost Field and the Eagles vs. St. Josephs at St. Jos eph Oval.

TAFT SAYS DEATH TO
 INSURGENCY: DOWN WITH
 STANDPATTERS IS REPLY

Washington, Aug. 3O.-While Pres ident Taft is preaching Death to insurgency on his swing through the west, the progressive themselves will sound down with standpatisn' throughout the same territory.
 From the newly established head quarters of the Republican progress ives here came this information to- day. A permanent bureau, in charge of w. l. Howser, formerly secretary of state of Wisconsin, plans to begin at once the campaign of 1912, and spread the progressive doctrines
 It is probable that President Taft will be followed up'' on his western trip by some of the progressive lead CTS who have rendered their servivcas to the bureau as speakers-possibly by Senator La Follett Republican, Wisconsin,
 In the meantime, the bureau plans to circulate literature and furnish speakers in their campaign to defeat the reelection of President Taft.

HURLEY IS NEW CATCHER
 FOR M'CANN
Veteran Eastern League Back stop Secured to Help Out
 Mechanics
(By WaCner,)

Manager McCann said this morning that his new catcher is Jerry Hurley, a veteran of the Eastern league. Hur- ley has been catching for various Semi-p i-prOfessiOnal clubs in New York on Saturdays and Sundays and is in fine condition. The local manager se- cured the backstop after hunting around all day yesterday morning for a man. He went to the various places in New York where baseball men con- gregate but couldn't get on the track of anybody he thought would help the club. Finally he was tipped off by Nat Strong, the we'll known New York baseball promoter, that Hurley could be secured.
 McCann got John H. Freeman's auto and hustled to Hurley's home where he signed the wind pad artist. Hurley agreed to report at Newfeld tomorrow when the Mechanics play Hartford. The double header in New Britain this afternoon was called off on account of rain.

JEANETTE
 SHADES BIG
 P0RKY FLYNN
Hoboken Negro Has It on Boston Fighter in Ten
 Round Go

Joe Jeanette. of Hoboken, N. J., out pointed Porky Flynn of Boston by a small margin in a ten round bout at the Fairmont Athletic club. New York, last night. Jeanette carried he fight to Flynn during every round and was the aggressor from the start to finish. It was a good bout.
 Jeannette had the better of the early rounds, but in the middle sessions Flynn was able to rip in several hard punches to the face. Once in the sixth round he uppercut Joe hard. Jeannette, however, did not seem to mind the punch and dropped his hands, inviting Porky to punch him again, Flynn, thinking it a trap, re- fused to follow up his advantage.
 Jeannette started off as though he would win in a round or two with knockout, but as time wore on he missed his judgment of distance and his blows thereafter lacked his old steam.
 Jeannette started off like bear cat in the opening round. He work ed fast. ripping in right swings to the face. and left hooks to the body. In the clinches Jeannette sent in short uppercuts to the face. Joe had the better of the round till near the finish, when, in a wild rush, Flynn straight ened him up with a hard right upper cut to the face.
 Porky used good. straight left jab to Jeannette's face in the second and cut his lip. He varied the punch with a righ tblow to the kidneys. Jean nette was wild and missed several swings.
 .. Jeannette knocked Flynn over in the third, but it was more from the effects of a push than a blow. Jean nette had started Flynn rocking with left to the temple. Then he fol- lowed with a right. Jeannette's wrist caught Flynn on the throat and the Bostonian fell. He jumped up quick ly and resumed fighting, sending in two stiff punches to Jeannette's face.

Conn. League
 Baseball Bunk
(By Ira HaH.)

(By Ira HalI.)
 There is a possibility that when next season rolls around that New Britain will not be found on the baseball map, as Owner Murphy is not satisfied with conditions. He has received offers to take his franchise to Bristol and may do so. The Spuds' owner has also been advised to move either to Hol- yoke or Meriden, as it is almost cer- tain that these towns will make up part of the 1912 circuit
 Some of the managers consider that New Britain is "all in" as a baseball town and needs a rest. Some consider that the six club circuit has been suc- cessful enough this season to merit a further trial next year.
 The Mechanics lost a great chance to widen the gap between themselves and the Ponies, yesterday, through post ponement. Reggie Brown was slated to work for Waterbury against the Ponies. When Brown works. now adays, every fan knows which team will win. When Brown shut out the Mechanics 80 in Waterbury a week ago, Dan O'Neil said then he would send his great hurler against the Ponies before the season ended.
 According to the Mechanics, who as the league leaders have to face the best pitchers in the league, Reggie Brown has it on them all, with Dent of New Haven, runner-up. Hi Ladd claims that in all his years of break ing up games, Brown is the best man he has ever faced.
 According to Tom Crook, a 300 bat ter on a pennant winning club in this league can hold his own in any league in the country. With schedules as arranged in this league says the Me chanics' captain, the leading club faces the best pitcher of it's opponents daily. If this league played in series of three games" continued Crooks, "Brfd dgeport would be so far ahead that interest in the race would be but in the fight for second place.
 There is talk of changes in the New England league, but indications are toward the present league sticking to- gether. Manchester, N. H., Portland, Lewiston and Bangor, Me, have been suggested to replace some of the pres ent cities. The ten year agreement of the league expires this week and it is quite likely that it will be renewed New Bedford, Fall River and Haver- hill have been in difficulty all sea- son.

 The rain is having great winning streak. It hasn't lost a game in a week.
 'It's too bad the rain butted in,'' said Skipper Hey, as he paced the Atlantic hotel lobby yesterday after noon. T was hitting that pill on the nose" If you smoke another one of those cabbages. you'll be leading the league" remarked Harry Quinn; the demon cigar salesman, who had just shared some free lunch in the cafe.
 Owner John H. Freeman came up from New York with Manager Me- Cam yesterday afternoon He expects to act as mascot this week.
 The New Britain players went away on the 2:29 train yesterday afternoon. They expect to make trouble for the Mechanics in the double header today if the weather man doesn't pitch a no nit, no run game.
 Remember that time when we were with Springfield and we played four Flanagan of Tom Crook yesterday af- ternoon. T gotcha Steamer" replied Crook Dan O'Neil was running the Springfield club and thought we had a chance for the flag so he arranged to play two games with Meriden in the morning and two in the afternoon on Labor Day. Springfield won all four but it didn't do us any good because the leaders won too."
 Jack Hoey has the honor of being the cheapest player in the league. The Waterbury American flashes a photo graph of a check for s1 which was the price set by President Tracy when Dan o'Neil bought the heavy hitter joke. Harry Durant had to pay ONeil for Dams vote at the league meeting so he turned over Jack Hoey.
 Here's the worst team in the league as picked by the Hartford Courant: Nearly all the sporting experts take a crack at making up an All-Connec- ticut League team towards the close of the season, supposed to be the pick of the best men in the league. For novelty, the poorest team in the lea que is picked, and it would be as follows: Pitcher, Corcoran, New Ha- ven; catcher. Waters, New Haven; first base, Zeller, Springfield; second base. Burns, Waterbury; third base shovelin, Waterbury; left field. Far rell, Waterbury; center field, Water man, New Britain; right field, Bar bOur, Springfield; owner Dan O'NeiI, Waterbury; manager Battling Ze1ler, Springfield; official scorer. McAvoy, New Britain. There will be some kicking because Bridgeport and Hart ford are not represented but it is difficult to suit all in making selec- tions of this kind"
 Tom Connery's Hartford club will appear at Newfield tomorrow The
