(By Wagner.)

Ivor Swanson came to the bench and threw down his glove in disgust. Lou
 itschi came in and muttered cuss looked as if he'd like to bite some body. All this happened at about 5:30 yesterday afternoon at Savin Rock after New Haven had snatched a victory from Bridgeport by to 1.
 It was tough luck to lose out after the Mechanics were ahead by 1 to 0 in the ninth and New Haven was two are two people you might blame for the defeat. Of course the direct cause was the low throw Lou Litschi made to first which enabled Gygai to score the winning run. But there was more glaring misplay than that Pop Foster was the third man up in the fatal ninth. He sent a high fly to short left. Hank Snyder misjudged the ball, ran out, then ran in and fin- ally stumbled The result was that Foster got a hit on what should have been an out. Gygli then belted a long three bagger to right and Foster scored. When Slugger Burke hit one to Ldtsci, the shortstop threw low to Tom Crooks and it was all over.
  were not impressed with the work of Hank Snyder in left. In addition to misjudging Fosters fly in the ninth he misjudged one from the same play CT in the fourth. Then in the second inning he threw away a chance for a run. Hi Ladd had reached second on Cuffs wild throw. Snyder was safe on Cuffs second error and Hi went to third. There was a fine chance for a tally, but Snyder did a little sleep walking act and ambled off first with the result that he was caught by a throw from the pitcher.
 Ivor Swanson twirled fine bali. He didn't have as much smoke as usual, but was there with the control and gave but one pass and six hits. He famed three men, including Slugger Burke on two occasions. Harvey Russell did a fine job behind the plate and it looks as if he will be one of the leagues leading backstops.
 Bob Stowe never played better. He took eight hard chances and also got one of Bridgeport's five hits. Bob's brightest play was made in the eighth when he scored the Mechanics lone run. Bob singled over second and took flying start for second as liar vey Russell laid down fine sacrifice.

Sailor Burke Beaten
 by Pittsburg Bearcat

Tom McMahon. true to his nom de ring of the "Pittsburg Bearcat," gave Sailor Burke a fierce walloping in a ten-round bout at the St. Nicholas Rink, New York, last night During the milling, which was fast but un- scientific, McMahon dropped Burke twice to the floor and robbed him of several of his teeth. It was a wild slugging affair, with wallops the prin- cipal factor in the boxing. They stood close together and slugged and slug ged. In all of the rounds except the sixth round and the ninth round Me- Mahon had the better of the fistic argument. It was fierce ring battle with brute strength predominating
 McMahon was crude and wild, but he had such strength in his punches that he made Sailor Burke. reel around the ring in several sessions of the bout. He put the fear of defeat in the heart of Burke in the first round by sending him to the floor twice That took all the confidence out of Burke for the first five rounds and he scarcely did anything save to cov- CT up.

SOKOLS ADMITTED
 BY CITY LEAGUERS
Magnates Thought They Would
 Draw Better Than ClOvers
(By Ira Hall.)

Believing that by the admission of the Solols to their, ranks in prefer ence to the Clovers. rivalry would be the greater and the financial returns the heavier, the City league moguls at their latest meeting, admitted the East Side team. They secure the franchise vacated by the South Ends. The Sokols put up the stronger argu- ment to the league directors, than the Clovers. The latter is a South End team, with a big following in that East Side aggregation and as there was but one team in the league on that side of the river. preference was given them. The Sokols enter the league under the leadership of Mike Kreuther, who few seasons back landed City league pennant with his Nationals, one of the fastest aggrega- tions ever turned out in the city. Kreuther started the Sokol team last season, the nine hanging up number of victories. They will add great strength to the organization, and will carry along a big following.
 The league directors were agreed that the Clovers were a fast bunch of youngsters and would be there to the superior claim of the Sokols. The Newfields have an application for admission to the league, but have been rather lax in pressing their suit. From the outside it does look as if the s25 forfeit on obtaining a franchise, and additional $25 by July 1, threw a big scare into their camp.
 The Industrial league heads will meet this evening in the mayors of- flee and will admit the Birdsey-Som- CTS club, runners-up in the Factory league last season, to membership. Plans will be approved for the auto parade of the league members on Fri day evening May 12, the night before the league opening.

HERE'S SOME POETRY
 ABOUT PITCHER CLANCY


 Here's something you want to get. A new poet has broke into the league and he signs his name "Jay-Ef-Em." " After warming up behind the wood shed he came across with this little thing called "The Finish of MT. Clancy" which looks pretty much like Glass A poetry. Here's the way it goes He says he wrote it himself:
 (By Jay-Ef-Em.) MT. Clancy was pitcher of a repu-
 tation meager, But in fancy he was better than most
 any major leaguer; He was very, very anxious to develop and advance, So he pestered all the magnateS till
 at last he got as chance. Deep, deep worry OCT the future
 drove him to a fortune-teller, Say" he said, you know the layout.
 How would you advise feller?"

 come"
 "You should foil him. "Sure!" cried
 Clancy.
 watch me put him on the bum!'' Buoyed by what the lady told him.
 Clancy vowed he'd fight his bat
 tie,
 With nerve that all the bleachers
 and the grand stand couldn't rattle;
 "Git tn dar-rk man! Git tn dar-rk
 man!' ran the slogan in his head. "All the others will be easy" so the
 dope of Clancy read. eve are booked to play college-it
 belongs to spring-time training" !" Said the manager; then added: Its
 the only game remaining Till we stack against the big ones,
 with the pennant for the grab, In this college business, Clancy, we
 will put you on the slab." Full of confidence and smiling at the
 balmy spring-tinre weather, Clancy walked upon the diamond and
 began to twirl the leather At his catcher, Denny Nolan, when
 he chanced to look about And he saw the college players, from
 a negro school, come out! "Git tn dark man! Git tn dar-rk
 man!' Clancy howled at Catcher
 Denny.
 '.NowI Tn lady never told me there
 was gOin' ter be so manyH' Then he climbed the fence to free
 dom, with wild despairing sob. That's the sad, sad tale of Clancy
 that's how Clancy lost his job.

 Were you among those at the ring side?
 Here are some of the fans who made the trip to Savin Rock and root ed for the Mechanics: William Banta, Jack Riley, Johnny Bond, Harry Car roll, Harry Logan, Bennie G. Shalet, Mike Kelley, sammy Desser, Morris Rabinowitz, the Reich family, Arnold Cargill Jimmy Cahill Peter Poland, Alderman Fred Voos, Robert Spencer, George Burnes, Jr., Fritz Musante, Eddie Mcfarland Senator Garry Pad dock, Harry Ford, Ray Edwards, Red" Heath, Joe Pastine, Terry Char pentier, Ossie Woodruff, City Auditor Dick Meyers, Fred Fitzpatrick, pr. Phil Mclaughlin, Babe Sheren, Fred Higgins. Jim Carroll, Joe Lundy John J. Caraber, Bob Donahue, and Father O'Connor of Stratford.
 Sammy Desser made good and chap eroned his troupe of trained rooters in choice seats on the bleachers. Nor ris the Ballyhoo kid, forsook his job as train butcher for one day to yell "come on, old boy" Sammy Desser attracted some attention by getting into a fight with a New Haven rooter but after some fast footwork our Sam uel was given the decision on points. Fritz Musante created some talk by walking in the horse gate instead of using the regular entrance. Perhaps it was because Uppy Upham was talk ing tickets there and Fritz knows Uppy.
 In spite of yesterdays unpleasant ness the Mechanics look good. They will win lot of games this season.
 Bob Stowe made a superb catch in the third. Clyde Waters, the New Haven backstop, dropped fly in short right that looked safe but Bob ran out and got the ball as he was racing with his back to the sphere.
 'I knew the game depended on that throw said Lou Litschi last night 'and I took careful aim. I was sur prised when I saw it hit the dirt in front of Crooks. But I'll win a good many games for the team this year." Harvey Russell looked fine behind of fouls and also turned in a neat l sacrifice

 Indianapolis, April 22-But little hope is held out for the recovery of George c. Gefty) Craig, a pitcher for the Indianapolis baseball team who was mysteriously shot, early today, at the Mt. Jackson Sanitarium. Be- fore becoming unconscious, according to the police officials, he said he had been shot by burglar. Inmates of the sanitarium were awakened by the shot but no trace of the intruder could be found. The bullet struck Craig in the abdomen, passing entirely through his body.
 Craig came here from Trenton, last season. He was known as an eccen- tric player, at first objecting to come this far west because he was afraid of the Indians" Manager Burke, of the Indianapolis team said he believ- ed Craig was homesick

when he allowed himself to be caught off first.
 Litschi's knee still bothers him and he has number of bandages on it. He has been under the care of Doc Barrett,s the trainer of the Williams college athletes at Williamstown, Mass. since he was hurt. Barrett has @ reputation as a bonesetter and does considerable work for the New York Am orleans, who sent Litschi to him.
 Hi Ladd couldn't meet the ball right. He took a couple of hard smashes but the pill always went right at some fielder.
 Brad Kocher, the former Mechanic, caught for Toronto against Wilkes barre in an exhibition game, a few days ago, and cracked out four hits, one of them a triple. Brad is the property of- Detroit, but was farmed to Toronto.
 Larry Spahr, whom Manager Me- Cam turned down, has caught on with Holyoke. Butch Steinhaaser, the former Mechanic, has also signed with Eolyoke. He was canned by Spring field.
 The next home game will be Tues day, when Tom Connery's Hartford team comes to Newfield. The Sena- tors have a fast bunch, including Gloomy Gus Soffel, Kid Rehg, and Billy Vann, the first baseman who has become a catcher. Hartford has some new pitchers including Ray from the St. Louis Americans, and Lakoff from Louisville of the American Associa- tion.
 Jim Hart, last year with Hartford, is playing the outfield for Toledo of the American Association.
