Umpire Punched By
 Magee Of Phi|Iies
Outfelder Knocks Elmer ans Teeth Out After Dis
 pute About Strikes

Philadelphia, Pa, July Hum pire Ffnneran called Sherwood Magee out on strikes in the third inning of the game yesterday between the Phillies and St. Louis and after an argument Magee and the umpire came to blows. Magee struck Fin neran and knocked him out. The police escorted Magee from the field: Finneran's face was mass of blood and several teeth were knocked down his throat. When the teams ap- peared on the field again Finneran was in no shape to umpire and Rlg- Ter handled the game alone.
 Umpire Finneran claims he only told Magee to go to the cluDnouSe and that he had no idea that Magee was coming for him with any inten- tion of doing anything but ask why he was put out
 Magee says: 'Finneran called me cut on strikes on a ball that was the air and was walking to the bench when Finneran called me vile name. I had no intention of hitting him and simply intended to find out why I was put out! then l saw Fin neran draw his arm back. Finneran hit me before struck him.
 President Fogel of the PhilIfes said: ''Finneran invited that attack. Magee promptly accepted his challenge. In wanted to whip Manager DoOin. I will fight to the limit for Magee, and if they punish Sherwood they have got to give it to Finneran, for he has been taunting players to fight him. If we lose Magee it will hurt us. but this time we have an umpire who threw off his mask to fight

PLENTY OF PLAYERS
 IN N. Y. STATE LEAGUE

That scouts employed by major league cIubs devote more attention to the Pacific Coast league. American association and other minor league organizations than they do to the New York State league, in digging up future diamond stars, is the opinion of Joe (Dade) Birmingham, the Cleveland outf1elder. He thinks it's a great mistake.
 Birmingham is of the opinion that there are many players, who for years have worked in the State league, who are ripe for big leageu company, but that the National and American league teams have forbidden their scouts to look over the State league in search of players. He also points out that Red Alexander, the Phila- delphia National league clubs win ming pitcher, was a product of the State league, and remarks that there are others in the Farrell circuit who are equally as good"

Moran Has Praise
 For Ad WoIgast English Boxer Says McFar- land Would Have No , Chance Against
 Champion

owen Moran, the, British light weight, who was knocked out in San Francisco by Ad Woigast on the Fourth of July, is back in New York. He has little to say about the battle, but thinks Packey Mcfarland would not stand much chance in the ring with Wolgast.
 Moran is on his way to England, and will sail with his wife in a short time. Mcfarland is not as strong as I am, and my money goes on Vol gast if they fight" says Moran. "Packey will find that Wolgast can throw him all around the ring and wear him out inside of twenty rounds, sure. McFarland's manager thinks fought the wrong way. Perhaps I did, but Packey will find he does not know how to fight him either.
 ''Wolgast can be whipped easily enough. but it will take husky, rug ged fighter like himself to do it. Me Farland is not strong enough. Neith- CT Is Freddie Welsh, while Wolgast will slaughter K. O. Brown if he gets at him again.

.aterbury's Fate
 Will Be Decided
 By League Tonight
Harry Pagan Wants Fran
 chise But Won't Pay Bills
 Contracted by Pace.

Waterbury. July 1.-The Waterbury baseball team sale still hangs in the balance. Harry Pagan was here again this morning and stated just what he would do He will start the team right now on their salaries, but he will not be responsible for any bills that are unpaid. He is willing to give up $3,500 for the franchise but
 Another rock was thrown in the way of the sale today when the parties interested were told that they could not throw back the franchise to the board of directors of the league and then have the board sell the franchise to someone else and thus get rid of paying the back bills. That might be done in baseball and 1t might go at that but the law will not allow any such proceedings.
 It looks very much as though the outstanding bills must be paid be- fore the league can ratify any sale of the franchise. The managers have been called to a meeting in Hart matter. If Waterbury should drop out now the whole league will go to smash and the directors know this very we'll
 They will probably have to shoulder the debts left behind by ex-Manager Carl Pace before they can ratify the sale of any franchise. If they should ratify the sale, theh there are cer- tain attorneys who are watching the game, who will see to it that the league or somebody will settle up their claims. Just at present things are in very muddled condition.

Bridgeport Police Are Hits In
 Other Burgs

Up in Waterbury when the towns folks get through talking about the spell Of weather we're having, they Invariably resort to the delegation of versatile policemen that the Bridge port department sent to the conven- tion of the State Police Association last week.
 In fact, the policemen throughout the State were pretty favorably impress ed by the talent included in the se- 1ect aggregation of coppers that mo- -tored from the Park City to the Brass City .
 And in this city the policemen are still talking about Commissioners Denny Lahey, the best little enter tainer they have ever met, who spared no pains nor expense to give the v1s- itors one of the best outings in the his tory of the organization.
 The Bridgeporters made a hit from the start, with the police quartet. There were Walker, Lundberg, Bray and Herb singing all sorts of music, rag time to classics, all equally well. Jack Dempsey sang a solo; so did Ser gean tBdll O'Leary. Bray gave the policemen a monologue that made a hit, and Court Officer Chris Ffnnegan and Patrolman Hankel also came in rendered solos,
 Aside from the election of the prin- cipaI officers of the association, al- ready detailed in the Farmer, the fol- lowing committees were named for the ensuing year: Executive committee John H. Redgate, Bridgeport; George M. Beach, Waterbury; Archibald W. Inglis, Middletown; Garrett c. Farrell, Hartford; s. c. Wheeler, Winsted; D. ". Bradley.
