 Rocky Stone caught good game yesterday. The Vermont school teacher will have to do the work now until Russell gets back. Stone can hit the ball. His two bagger yester- day looked good
 Waterbury broke it's losing streak by trouncing Springfield yesterday by z to 1. Tom Tuckey held the Ponies down and Christopher was hit hard by Waterbury. Dan O'Neil used Tom Standard, whom he secured from Brockton and also a new shortstop named Scanlon from Harrisburg. Each got two hits and made a favorable impression.
 Benny Kauff came out of his bat ting slump A home run and three singles out of five times up.
 Bill Bailey, the outfielder who de- clined to come to Bridgeport when sent by the New York Americans, is sorry he didn't report now. In a let ter to local player, Bailey says he is going bad with Newark and he wishes he had joined the Mechanics because the New York players have been doing so we'll in this city.
 Bob Stowe is improving every day in hit swatting. He steps into the ball now the way he did last season and as result his batting average is steadily climbing.
 It was a day of rest for all the players. Benny Kauff expected to go n vny1x f0 fho tc ,1ox if rain didn't interefere.

 Freddy Gaiser, the former Holyoke pitcher, has been turned over to Rochester by. the New York Arneri- cans. He pitched Saturday against Buffalo, and was knocked out of the box, Buffalo winning by 8 to 4.
 Pittsburg has promised to send In fielder Shovelin to Waterbury. He was secured from Erie in the O-P' league. Last season he batted 22S in. second basemen with an average of 953.

 ment of Nationals

He says that the fine was to be remitted if he played better ball, but although he has done his best nothing has been said about repayment of the fine.

Something went wrong with the Loco machine Saturday when a cog slipped and they lost to Crane No. 1, S-S. Crane No 1 is a first class anna teur club but they are below the stan- dard of the Loco players. There are wild rumors about that the Loco play CTS will not support Pitcher Klawberg who worked Saturday Manager Lundberg would do we'll to look into this condition of affairs. With all due credit to Hurler Matty Mullins of the Crane crowd, he held the Locos to four hits. On the other hand Klaw- berg was touched for 10 hits, but some of these safeties should never have been.
 Through grabbing a forfeit game from the Birdsey-Somers, the Crane No. outfit was enabled to prance back into first place on a tie with the Loco band. As things look. the stand ing will remain a tie for first place until the Crane No. 2 and Locos meet again, after which look for the work CTS at the far end of Main street com ing out on top.
 The league has not as yet secured 8 club to take up the franchise vacated by the Whiting Co. team, the sched- uled contest between that club and the Warner Bros being called off.

He watch ed Prof. Hutchinsons balloon ascen- sion after the game, and also the as- tension of Pitcher Rossbach during the game Irwin was greatly pleased with the playing of Kauff and Lstschi.

 Lefty High mare two misjudgments on fly balls. He was away off on Kauff's liner in the second that went for a home run. If High, had played it right he could have at least held Benny to two bases if he didn't make the catch. In the seventh High made hard work of a catch on Litschfs high one by failing to judge the ball cor rectly

The Yosts missed chance to crawl up to the St. Joes when they dropped a contest to the Eagles at Yost Field. 7-3. A crowd of 1,200 saw the game. Amos Johnson, former Yost teaver, worked for the Eagles, holding his former team mates to half a dozen hits. Carter started for the Yosts but gave way in favor of Scott. In the hitting Moran and Farley of the Ea- gles led, with two apiece out of three times up. ODay of the Yosts an- nexed two doubles in four trips. The score:

Here it is the starting of the third and last series of the league race and the Yosts have yet to drop a con- test. The second series ended Sat urday, with the Yosts cleaning up all the way through. Last season, the Yosts went through the year with but one defeat; this year they anticipate out that the league will finish up with the teams in the same position as they now stand, with possibly the Arm strongs occupying. a better position.
 The Yosts' lost column in the stand ing looked good for a dent Saturday when they barely won from the liar vey Hubbells in a ten inning contest, 5-3. In the tenth inning with sec ond and third occupied, Captain Bill Flanagan of the Yosts singled through shortstop. scoring both men. Right Fielder St. Thomas of the Hubbells prolonged the contest when in. the ninth he hoped upon the lower rung of the fence, spearing Lohse's drive which was labelled two bags, and then doubled up Smallwood at the first sta- tion. Catcher Reynolds of the Hub bell crowd distinguished himself by his snappy playing. His hauling down of foul fly behind the grand stand was a gem. Gallagher's work on the mound for the Hubbel1s tells the story
 The taiI-end Armstrong bunch broke into the win column when they grabbed a win from the Batcheller band. 14-7. Neither Pitchers Bowden nor sBenham of the Batchellers could stem the flow of hits from the Arm strong batters' cudgels.

When the Black Rocks want to grab a win they stock up against the St. Josephs. Yesterday they felt in a winning mood, and did, 3-1, at St. Jo- sephs Oval. The Joes have lost three games this year, the start off of the season to the SokoIs, and the other two to the Rocks. Heaver Whelan of the Rocks was in fine fettle yesterday, parting with but two hits, one a pole to center by Strickfuss, and the other a scratch by Laubscher. Bill Kelly, working for the Joes, save out nine hits. Bosse came through with a clean record, three hits out of three times up, one two baser. Walters had three out of four times up, one a double decker. Swords spilled the pill for a double and triple out of three times up. The other hit was grabbed by Catcher Jack Egan. As usual, Pat Hurley. played phenomenal game in the outfield. The Joes gave Kelly erroless support. The score:
