PETE WILSON HAS SIGN
 ON BRIDGEPORT HITTERS
With Crippled Team McCann's Men Give
 Harford Great Battle For Victory

Hartford, July 6.-The great pitch ing of Pete Wilson gave Hartford a victory over Bridgeport by 2 to 1 yesterday. The crippled Mechanics played fine ball in the field but wei e unable to hit Wilson in the pinches. Things broke badly for them in the seventh when High after a hard run caught Ladd's liner with the bases filled. Freddy Gibbs twirled fine ball for the Mechanics, holding the Sena- 1 tors to four hits.
 Here is what the Hartford Courant gays of the struggle:
 On Tuesday, the fans cheered Umpire Nallin, the first time an umpire has been applauded in the history of the game, and yesterday there was a cheer when the rain came down. Ordinarily the-true fan has but little seven varieties of heat during the last few days. the fans showed that they believed that the rain was more necessary than baseball victory.
 There were two Bridgeport men out in the first half of the fifth, inning, when the shower came. Litschi was at bat and Umpire Lanigan had the men play a few minutes in the down. pour before he called time. After >waiting twenty-five minutes, play was resumed. It was very hot when the game was started, although the sun was behind the clouds. The umpire wore his fatigue uniform, dark trous- CTS with dark soft shirt.
 Bridgeport secured it's only run in the second inning. With one out, ond by Stow. The latter stole second and third. Russell was given his base on balls. Gibbs hit safely to left field, scoring Stow. Russell tried to make third on the hit and was thrown out by High. In the first inning, Snyder struck out and Ladd flew out.
 With one down in the third, Litschi and Crook singled, but Crook was forced at second by Ladd and Stone flew out to Hart. There was nothing doing in the fourth. After one was out in the fifth. Snyder walked but Rete caught him off the bag, When play was resumed, Rehg threw Litschi out.
 Captain Crook opened the sixth with two-bagger. Ladd's out sent who threw to the plate but Crook got back to third before Mcdonald could get the ball to Moves. Wilson gath cred in Kauff's grounder, holding Crook on third, and Stone flew out to High. Nice work.
 In the seventh. Russell walked and was forced at second by Gibbs.
 Snyder got a scratch hit. Litschi hit to Rehg, who fumbled and was unable to get his man at second. This filled the bases with but one out Soffel got under fly by Crooks and Ladd was next up. Hi cleared the bases in Bridgeport against New Britain, but he was up against diff ferent proposition yesterday. He sent out a hard low drive that looked good but Hickey made fine catch and saved the game, for if the ball had got away from him, Bridgeport would have put the game where all the fans wanted to be-on ice.
 But the worst Is yetsto come. In the eighth. Stone drew a base on balls Kauff tried to sacrifice but put a bunt out of reach of the infield. Stowe

tried to sacrifice and he put bunt along the third base line. Moves made a poor throw and the runner was safe. This filled the bases with none out, the most desirable situation in baseball from the point of view of the side at bat. Russell, the catcher, was first up and all that Pete did to him was to strike him out. Manager H. Eugene McCann took personal charge of the game at this time. Me- Cam sent Ruell up to bat for Gibbs at this time, as Ruell is good hitter. They all looked alike to Pete and he whiffed Ruell. Snyder was next up and after he had two strikes he pop this great exhibition of pitching. the dobber of Brid geport went away down and in the ninth inning the side went out in order, Litschi. Crooks and Ladd.
 Hartford hit Gibbs just hard enough to win, and that was enough. But four hits were made off his pitching. Upham pitched the eighth and he struck out two.
 The score was tied in the fourth. Hickey started the trouble with two- bagger to center, Ladd floundering around in the high grass after the ball. Soffel sacrificed Hickey to third and he scored on passed ball, which was very fortunate, as High famed and Rehg grounded out.
 The game was won in the fifth. With one out, Moves hit for three bases. fine healthy wallop to the fence. Connery sent a sacrifice fly to Ladd and Moves beat His throw to the pan. Ladd got under McDon- aids fly

LUDERUS WOULD LOOK
 GREAT WITH CHIcAGO
Manager Chance Made Mistake When He Let First Baseman
 go to Phillies

When Luderus was thrown in as part measure to the Philadelphia club by Chicago the deal was roundly scor- ed in more than one quarter, on the ground that Philadelphia was helping Chicago to players, which would en- able the Cubs to win the champion ship. Luderus was not considered much, yet there was complaint about syndicate baseball and some other things
 Would the Cubs like to have Lud- erus now? He was green when Chance let him go, and he did not play very we'll last year because he was i'll a great deal of the time. He has been one of the principal factors of success for the "Phillies'' this sea- son because of his batting. He does not bat all pitchers well, but he ap- pears to have the faculty of whaling the dayiights out of those who rep resent the Giants.

Since f3s close of school Finn has been stop ping in Buffalo. playing Saturdays and Sundays with the Columbias, the bssg amateur club in the city. He has been their first string pitcher.
 Now that Finn is home for ths Summer, it is expected that he wifi or Factory league clubs. 4 number of the shop league cluhs could use good pitcher. Finn reports that RsS Heating. the East End boy is doing great stunts with the Hamilton. Car- ada, Club of the Canadian Southern league.

Jack Johnson To
 Meet Pat Curran
Champion, Very Fat and May Have Difficulty in Stopping
 Irish Boxer

London, July 6.-Jack Johnson, the heavyweight champion, who yester- day signed articles to fight Patrick Curran. labelled Great Britain's best heavyweight. will meet Curran's rep resentative today and arrange the final details.
 No date has been set for the battle. but it Is expected that 1t will come off early in August. The purse is $50, ,Oo0, with side bet of $10,000.
 Curran comes from Dublin. and his last fight was with Jack Roach, whom he easily bested in twenty rounds.
 John Flanagan, brother of the worlds champion hammer-thrower, is more responsible than anybody else in getting Johnson to box the Irish man. Flanagan really believes Cur ran has a chance to whip the negro and bases this belief on the fact that Johnson has been living high ever since he wiped Jeffries off the map, and that the short time in which he has to train won't put him In his old time share.
 Sporting men noticed the other night that Johnson's body was hog fat, and he avoided Monte Cutters rushes for that spot in an exhibition at the Oxford Music hall The cham pion appeared to weigh in the neigh borhood of 280 pounds.

HOW TO OBTAIN A

Four near-pilots of aircraft having applied at the airship department f4 the automobile department of the state secretary's office, the secrstavz' issued yesterday governing the exann~ ination of the applicants. If the sp- plicant for state registration already possesses a license to operate an afr~ ship granted by the Aero Club of Con- necticut the secretary may use his op~ ton as to demanding that the app11~ cant undergo another examination re is understood that the examiner will probably be some competent member of the Aero Club of this state. Ths office yesterday was not willing to say who it would be- Quite likely lected from centers readily accessible to the applicants. Only three ma chimes have been registered thus far but several more registrations are soon to be applied for.
 Applicants must pass three tests when being examined for their ability to hold 8 license. Two distance tests are required, each consisting in cover ing closed circuit not less than five kilometers iii length without touch ing the ground Also, an altitude tesr is required, which consists in rising to minimum height of fifty meters above the starting point. The courss over which the aviator shall accom- plish the fyst two circuits must be indicated by two posts situated not more than 800 meters from one ar- other. After each turn made around a post the aviator will change his d. rection so as to leave each post Ju his other side. The circuit win thus consist of an uninterrupted series of figure eights, each circle of the ha~ ures alternately enciTcling one of tias posts. The distance credited over tha Cn,1rca hafyaey1 TVo turns anaff hx the distance separating the two posts.
 For each of these three tests the landing must be made by stopping the motor not later than the tinre when the machine touches the ground and at distance not less than fifty meters from a point designated by the applicant before starting the tess- Landings must be made properly and the official observer shall indicate n his report the way in which they were always discretionary. A separate 1s- port must be made of each test, and in the event that the altitude test .g made during the distance test it must be so noted on the report of that test. and the method of measuring ths altitude given under control of appa- ratus. These are the regulations ns prescribed by the state secretary and they are similar in many respects te the tests for the license granted by the executive board of the Aero C1u1.
 The official in charge of the test must report to the state secretary on the blank in answer to designation of test as to distance or altitude; giving the name, address, nationality. date and place of birth of the applicant the name of the responsible. and oth- CT, representatives; the place of ths test and the characteristics of ths apparatus; the distance covered, height attained. landing and the con< trolling apparatus used. Such are ff1s preliminaries in making an aeronauf into a licensed airship operator.

 Training Stunts
Harvard and Yale Athletes Practicing For Meet With
 Oxford and Cambridge

Brighton, England, July 6.-The Harvard and Yale athletes began practice yesterday morning in earn est. Afternoon practice also was in dulged in. Pits and take-offs had been prepared for the jumpers, who began real work. The sprinters and quarter -milers engaged in speed prac- tice, while the distance men logged several miles. All the visiting ath- letes are in excellent condition.
 The team captains will confer on Thursday at the Queens Club and tho Harvard Yale team will probably try the Queens track on Friday. Will liam Donovan and John Mack, the trainers who accompanied the Sstu- dents here, said that the boys were performing as well as could be ex- pected. They said that most of the boys stood the trip we'll and as yet the change of climate had done them no harm. Both are confident their charges will win the majority of the events.
 The question which bothers the trainers most is which. two of the three hammer throwers to use in the competition. Childs, Howard and Cable are working so we'll that it is a difficult proposition to determine which one to leave out To decide this the trio will probably be put through a three day try out, the two making the best throws being allow. ed to compete.

SAY KNOCKOUT BROWN
 GAN DEFEAT W0LGAST New York Critic Declares Cham. pion Must Meet Gotham
 Boxer
(New York American.)

Of course, Knockout Brown is not champion lightweight of the world. It Is just as well to admit that in the beginning. But the fact remains that he can beat the proud possesser of that title any afternoon or evening during the week. None knows the fact better than Ad Wolgast, title holder, who twice sampled the New Workers punches and twice ran a bad second. If there is any fight for hon. ors arranged by Wolgast before he makes his little date with Brown, it will be viewed with a certain amount of suspicion locally.
 The cleverly awkward Brown is ready; so is Manager Danny Morgan. Knockout hasn't got over a distance. but there is no reason to believe he cannot. In any event he is ready.
 Morsan, by the way, was one who had the Moran-Wolgast bout gauged to a nicety. He figured in advance just how it was going to happen.

\Dy WdSucI'l
 Hartford needed the game more than We did.
 It's a good thing Pete Wilson has Bridgeport to pitch against. The southpaw was due to get the blue ticket if he didn't show something yesterday. Now Pete's job is safe.
 Luck was against Bridgeport in the seventh. With the bases filled and one out, Hugh High made a great catch of Ladd's liner. Pete Wilson was against them in the eighth when they filled the corners with none down. The southpaw famed Russell and also whiffed Foot Ruell. who bat ted for Gibbs. Then Snyder sent up a foul for the third out.
 Ernie Lush has been released by Lancaster. The local boy was going great when he first hit the Tri-State circuit but his hitting has been weak lately.
 Bob Stow was there with the speed. He stole two bases on Si Mcdonald. the former Waterbury catcher.
 It is now said that Waterbury re- ceived $40O for Mcdonald instead of $2o0 as first reported. And the Sena- tors threw in Catcher Mutt Waters TOT Sooq medsure'
 Benny Kauff wasn't bothered by the sidewheel slants of Pete Wilson. The speed merchant cracked out a pair of raps.
 The Mechanics are badly crippled and if they can hold the lead until Hey and Ruell get back into the fray they will be doing wonders. Ruell's long hits are missed and the absence of Hey takes Snyder out of the pitch ing ranks just as he was rounding into form.
 George Cameron of New Haven is always there with the excuse. One day. he planes the umpires for the defeat, and now he says the heat caused his players to be trimmed by New Britain yesterday. The sun while New Britain was in the field. Sager twirIsd for the Cubebs and Cor coran for New Haven. The score was 6 to 1.
 It is reported that New Britain will soon have Haynes, the creek southpaw who did such good work for the Gu bebs last, season. Pittsburg owns Haynes and he is now in the Pirate camp, but Dan O'Neil expects to get the pitcher in a short time.
 The heat didn't affect Tom Crooks much yesterday. The first baseman came to time with pair Of hits.
 Mild Mike Doherty is mentioned as candidate for manager of the Wa terbury team. Mike Finn Is also a possibility. Arthur Prince, who owns the majority of the stock. hasn't se- lected manager yet.
 
 Geography in baseball is strange. Last year Lemieux, the New Britain catcher. was with the Manville shop team in Rhode Island, and the team's pitcher was Clyde Burrows. Now Burrows, who has been signed by Pittsburg, has been turned over to New Britain and his old pal, Lemieux. will be his catcher. Burrows will also
