The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-06-30

New Haven, June 30-After battling with New Haven for II innings. Bridgeport lost to the White Wings yesterday afternoon by 4 to 3. Uppy Upham twirled great ball for the Me- chanics but an error by Eley let New Haven tie the score in the seventh and Stowe also muffed throw that al- lowed run in the first. Bridgeport Knocked Chalky Clunn off the mound in the third. The Journal Courier says:
 Clunn was not in form. He walked to the mound nervously and his bend CTS, even in the warming up period, were somewhat wild. He worked we'll in the first two innings but he was doomed to step from his exalted po- sit.on in the third frame. With two men down and incidentally, with the score 1 to o, in favor of, the home team. Clunn made one of the neat mistakes of his baseball career by walking Upham. the visiting pitch CT. Hey who followed, promptly sim gled Litschi did likewise, tieing the score for his team by scoring Upham. With two on bases Crook was hit squarely in the small of the back by one of Clunn's curves. Clunn then lost his control. He hit Hi Ladd, the next man up, in the shoulder, forcing in a run which Eley scored. The bases were again filled. Ruell, realiz- ing that Clunn had lost himself, wait ed calmly while balls sailed all around him and was rewarded by a pass which incidentally showed Litschi across the plate. Fans were on their feet requesting. begging, praying the powers that rule the New Haven team to take him out.' But Clunn recov- cred sufficiently to throw Kauff, the next man out. at first base. Reisigi replaced him from that time on.
 Revenge was the by-word of the locals from that time on. But the Mechanics were equally determined to hold the White Wings down. Errors, however. had not been taken into con- sideration.

That big detonation at the City League meeting this evening will be the league directors dropping the So- kol outfit. The Sokols will not be ostracised, the same as the North Ends because of alleged rowdyism and poor sportsmanship but to make the league an evenly balanced affair. With the North Ends out, five clubs remained which brought it about that one club had to lay. off every Sunday. The So- kols will send a big delegation, head ed by Manager Mike Kreuther. to the conclave protesting against the ac- tion, giving reasons why they should be allowed to continue and why an- other club should be dropped. Their protest will not avail them much as the slate has already been fixed to have the league continue with the St. Josephs, Yosts, Eagles and Black Rocks.
 This is brought about by the fact that the league has but two grounds, St. Joseph Oval and Yost Field. When the North Ends went out,t there went with them their diamond, Hairs lot.
 There is, however, possible chance that the Sokols will continue and that a new club will be added to again make the circuit half a dozen teams. Both the Bengals and the Lincolns

want to make the organization, but they will have to show the league of- ficials that they will produce the goods and stick out the season. It is understood that the directors favor the Lincolns as they are an East Side outfit while the Bengals hail from the west side of the river in which there are already three City league clubs. the Yosts. Black Rocks and Eagles. Last Sunday the Behgals were ready to start on the North Ends schedule and were willing to post their for feitS.
 Tonight each managers attention will be called to the leagues rules, calling for further forfeit of $25 be- fore any contest played in July. Each team on starting the season posted $25 as guarantee of good faith. When the North Ends were dropped they were returned their quarter of hun- dred. If either the Lincolns or Ben- gals are admitted, they will have to come through with $50 before they can play game.
 Should the Sokols be dropped this. evening, the league schedule will have, of necessity, to be revised. Should one of the other two clubs be admit ted they will take the North Ends place, and the present schedule will continue.

Langford Puts
 Fitzgerald Down
 And Out In Fifth
Boston Tar Baby Could Have Won in First But He Stalled
 Along

In the fifth round of a scheduled sten-round boxing bout at the Ma tional Sporting Club last. night, Sam Langford knocked out Jack Fitzger- aid with two upper-cuts delivered in quick succession. The end came aft CT Langford had previously dropped Fitzgerald to the mat for a count of eight with a left hook to the jaw.
 It was not a boxing bout in the full sense of the term, but a sharp shooting event with gloves. Langford did all the aiming and smashing with Fitzgerald acting as the target. Only once did Fitzgerald hit Langford. Then in frenzy of fear he sent in a left hook that hit Langford in the stomach. That blow brought about Fitzgerald's undoing It caused Lang ford to drive after his man. Then the battle, if such it can be called, ended. Just as soon as Langford made up his mind to end it, Fitzgerald was count ed out.
 The surprise to the members of the club was not that Langford had knocked out Fitzgerald, but that it took him five rounds to do the deed.
 It was apparent to the crowd that Langford could have sent Fitzgerald to slumberland with one punch in the first round had he been so disposed Langford's leniency and desire to toy with Fitzgerald caused many of the members to depart for home, saying the bout was a fake.
 That Langford did not hit Fitzger- aid hard Or often he explained after the bout from the ringside. The crowd disgruntled at this exhibition, passed caustic criticism of the bout as they started for the doors. It was then that Langford rose to explain by say ing:
 "Ah could have knocked Fitzgerald out in the first round, but I thought would permit him to stay three or fo' rounds so as to give the members who done me the honah of bein' pres- ent show for their patronage"
 For the fourth time during the bout Langford dropped Fitzgerald to the floor this time with a right upper cut. This was in the fourth session. After crawling around on the mat F'itzger- aid finally got up and stalled out the round. Then came the end in the next session.

English Boxer Says He'll Put American Champion
 Away in 15 Rounds, July 4

San Francisco. June 30.-Jack yEelch, the well-known third man in, many ring battles. was yesterday cho-, sen to referee the twenty-round boEtI between Ad Wolgast and Owen Mori ran, for the lightweight champions ship title. which takes place in Jim my Cofforth's area, on Independence day. Managers of the conteStan nt9 Charley Harvey for Moran and Tom Jones representing the champion, agreed on Welch after a protracted conference at the Sea Rock house. ga"
 The referee question was upper most in the minds of the, managers and promoters, and now that set clement has been had, things will be rushed through, so that nothing will mar the condition of the fight. Gov. Johnson. of California, hs promised to keep his hands off, because he be- lieves the match is we'll within the limit of the law.
 Moran and Wolgast have trained faithfully for this encounter, and a glance through their respective train- ing quarters gives an outsider the impression that the battle will be f1ercely fought throughout. Game as they make them, both hard punchers and wise to the tricks of the game, 1t Is doubtful if ever a better bout was arranged between little men. Both of them are in superb condi- t1on and will let up their work to- morrow.
 Wolgast is ruling favorite at odds of 10 to s. Large wadS of money are being wagered at these odds, with plenty of takers.
 Charley Harvey declared that he expected the Englishman to put away the champion in fifteen rounds. He said he never saw him in better con- dition since he has handled him and sees no reason why he should not jump out of the ring a champion

the tenth. Bridgeport tried vainly to score the winning run in the eleventh but Reisigl, who had given the visi- tors but three scattered hits since talk ing the mound, was wary. Cough opened for the locals in the eleventh frame by being walked. He was sac rificed to second by Sherwood who went out. Upham to Crook. Bunyan followed with a sacrifice fly, deep in left field. It was bottled by Hey, but by the time the sphere had been thrown home Cough had scored the winning run.
 New Haven's first run was scored by Pastor, who opened the first frame with a two-bagger. He had reached second when Bobby Stowe failed to catch the pill thrown by Eley from left field to stop the runner at the midway. AS the ball went bounding across the diamond Pastor scored. The score:
