Earl Ovington's
 Narrow Escape
While Trying New Mono plane the Motor Stops and Machine Turns Turtle on Aviator.

Earle l.. Ovington, the aviator, who did some remarkable stunts at Steeple- chase last May, had the most remark able escape of his life yesterday while trying the new .monoplane of William Evans, a young aviator from Ohio, who had joined the Baldwin camp at Mineola.
 The motor appeared to be working perfectly and MT. Ovington scared away gracefully. When over one of the ditches near Stewart avenue. which is being made into a highway, the feed pipe from the gasolene tank fail ed and after few faint sputters the motor stopped.
 The monoplane came suddenly to the ground, the front wheels striking the soft earth at the side of the road and the machine turning turtle MT. Ovington was pinned beneath the monoplane some of the wires rest ing on his neck and head. It was fully ten minutes before he was extricated The heavy American built motor was scarcely six inches from his head. All the Other aviators were at the north end of the field at the time and all were about exhausted by their long run across the field to MT. Oving- ton, who, beyond a severe shaking up, was unhurt. The high sides of the framework no doubt saved him from serious injury.

TO TAKE ACTION
 ON WATERBURY
Dan O'Neil'S Troubles Will be
 Discussed in Open Meet ing Monday
(By Wagner.)

William J. Tracy, the best little butcher that ever sold shoulder steak in Bristol, will soon drop quietly out of Connecticut League baseball. He says he will resign at the close of the season. He has notified the various managers of his intention, and they did not indulge in the big weeps. President Tracy makes his decision principally because of the failure of the managers to stand by him in his decisions. He says every time he suspends a player the managers com meqce to bawl him out. The retiring official thinks Jim O'Rourke would be good man for president, and the other managers are also in favor of the former Bridgeport manager.
 But the wise man of Bristol will be at the helm when the directors meet in Hartford, Monday evening. At that time the directors may have to take part in the Waterbury muddle. The Harry Durant crowd is trying to make Dan O'Neil pay $1,500 ground rent for the field in Waterbury, and rather than pay it, Dan will take his team on the road for the rest of the season and transfer his home games.
 ONeil doesn't want to lose the Wa .terbury franchise. He figures that 1t is a good town and if he can secure grounds of his own for next season, he can clean up some change. He will have a conference Monday with the owner of the field and may come to some agreement so that he won't have to go on the road.
 It has also been decided to admit the press to future 1eagues meetings. This is one of the wisest moves the league has ever taken. Inasmuch as the leagues prosperity depends upon the amount of publicity given by the newspapers, it sounds like good busi- ness to let the sporting writers know what is going on.

Pittsburg Club Comes Through With Coin For St. Paul ::

 This would indicate that Kelly was. purchased several days ago, although announcement of the purchase va9 not made public at either this or t1e other end. Kelly's acquisition is im- portant, as he has been handling O'Toole's mystic scoots for some time and works perfectly with the pheno< menal young pitcher. O'Too1e's for his old battery mate are thought to have swung the deal. Now they are dickering for immedi- ate delivery of the famous pair, foFt. the Pirates cherish strong pennan< hopes.

Phi|Iies Try To
 Buy Larry Mclean
Make Cash Offer for Great Cincinnati Catcher, But
 Are Turned Down

Cincinnati. Ohio, July 29.-Phila- delphia wants Larry Mclean, the Reds great catcher and batter, but Philadelphia will not get him. Hor- ace Fogel, president of the Philadel- phia Nationals, arrived in Cincinnati yesterday afternoon and at once went to the office of August Hermann, not waste time, but told his mission he wanted to buy Mclean. No trades. no deals, just a straight-out purchase, Fogel told Hermann, and he fixed a big price. Hermann told Fogel quite as promptly that he did not want the Philadelphia gold; that Mclean is not for sale.
 Fogel had a second mission, al- though the Mclean affair was the principal one. He came here to en- list Hermann in the movement to restore outfielder Magee and permit him to play ball. The suggestion originated in St. Louis the day after Manager Dooin had his leg broken in collision with Oakes at the home plate.
 The suggestion was made that Phil adelphia, because of it's great and clean fight, despite misfortune, is so greatly handicapped by the loss of the manager and chief catcher that the rules of fair sportsmanship sug- gest the outfielder should be restored to the game This is proposed with slightest degree. Fogel said this would be a splendid way of showing Dooin what all baseball thought of him as a clean ball player and an aggressive athlete. At the same time it would give Philadelphia a chance to remain in the race for the pen nant.

TOM DOWNEY MAY BE
 TRADED BY RED TEAM
Cincinnati Will Probably Keep Only Bates, Bescher and
 HObIitZel

Cincinnati. July 29.-"All this talk of a trade between the Dodgers and Cincinnati is rubbish for the present, 9 said one of the directors of the Gin cinnati club this morning. While we are doing absolutely nothing to put anything in the way of Manager Grif- filth, there will be several deals pull ed off toward the latter part of the season and after it has closed
 '.In fact, it wouldn't be much of a surprise to me if only three of the regular players are kept next year, that is exclusive of the pitchers, of course. Nothing definite has been done as yet, but deals have been talk ed over which will mean the transfer of almost the entire Cincinnati team Bescher, Bates and Hoblitzel will be kept here. Mitchell, Grant, Egan, Dow ney and three other men will be trad- ed"
 This statement comes from a man who is prominent in the baseball company in Cincinnati, and who says that a good playing manager has been decided upon by the club for next year.

 Owing to a typographical error, we gave Catcher Stone an error in the account of Thursdays game He should not have been given one. The frenzied scribe on the morning paper could have seen that it was typo graphical error if he had taken the trouble to notice that the total of the Bridgeport error column was one and that in the summary Stone was given a passed ball. The morning paper writer has good reason to remem Der section eight of the rules because this rule was called to his attention when he gave a catcher an error and a passed ball on the same play. He had been advising people to read the rules until it was suggested that he might pay more attention to his own mis- takes and less to the affairs of oth- CTS.
 In the matter of the play in the tenth inning by which Hi Ladd was able to score from second, there is room for a difference of opinion We gave the error to Sherwood, believing that throw which a first baseman could not catch without leaving the bag, should be credited as a misplay for the man who made the throw. Those who saw the game know that Gygli had to reach far out to touch the ball. By leaving the bag he could have stopped the ball but that would still give Sherwood an error. The statement that Gygli received the ball squarely in his hands is a joke. If he had the ball wouldn't have rolled to the fence in front of the bleachers. The funniest part of the whole matter is the morning paper writer's state ment, "It was palpable error pure and simple.'' This same writer at Newfield Thursday laughed to scorn a newspaperman who suggested that Gygli should have the error. Its Sherwood's error" said the morning paper man. The most charitable view of the case is to say that he tossed a coin later and decided he would give Gygli the misplay.
 Dan O'Neil says he sold the New Britain franchise to Jim Murphy for s2.3O0 In that case Murphy may pick up a little change this season.
 The Cincinnati club is so pleased at the showing of Almeida and Mar sans that it has notified the New Bri- tain club of it's intention to close the deal for the Cubans. Dan O'Neil re- ceived s2e00 when the players were de- livered and the check for the remain ing S5,000 will now be sent to owner Murphy of New Britain. According to previous agreement made when the New Britain franchise was sold, this money will be divided by O'Neil and Murphy.
