FEWER EVENTS FOR OLYMPIC IN
 NEXT MEETING

Sweden can find but small satisfac- tion in annexing the title of winner of the fifth Olympiad held at Stock holm this year. By scoring numer- ous points in the yachting, rowing and other secondary and semi sporting fore or after the other foreign teams were in competition in the stadium, the Swedes swelled their total to 133 just four more than that hung up by the United States.
 Sweden's ultimate victory was in ac- oordance with the programme of Oaympiad events, which included all of the by-products of sport, and even tualIy may go on to take in automo- bile and motor cycle racing. But it is an understood matter that the home country the nation which holds the games, is usually the winner in the end
 Native talent, being on the ground, is entered and competes, while foreign entries must be transported to the scene of contest. The United States, for instance, experienced difficulty enough in obtaining funds to send a team composed of track and field ath- letes almost entirely, without going into the other departments. If the Olympic games were held in New York it would be no small trick to ob- tain classes of local boats for racing on Long Island Sound, but it is prob able that most of the contests, from a national standpoint, would be decided unopposed, and that foreign entries would be lamentably few.
 The experience of competing teams this year at Stockholm have convinc- ed the authorities and the committee in charge that a standard of events must be established if a real winner of the games is to be determined. Pres ident James E. Sullivan of the A. A. U. has already advanced a plan for a schedule of events which will selin1- mate such contests as only the home team can participate in. His plan will be submitted to the committee which will meet in Paris within the next two years. and it is believed it

BASE RUNNING
 OF MECHANICS
 BEATS WATERBURY

Waterbury. July 25-The Mechanics made the most of their opportunities yesterday and nosed out Waterbury by 3 to ?. Although outbatted by the Spuds. the Bridgeport players showed their superior skill as baserunnerG and that gave them the victory. Dick Tuckey twir1ed a heady game for Me- Cams crowd.
 The Republican says of the game:
 Dick Tuckey of Union City. brother of Tobasco Tom, made his first ap- pearance as a Mechanic at Rockville yesterday afternoon. He more than appeared: he pitched a good heady game and showed himself much inn proved twirler over his performances last year in the City league. He was slightly nervous but had only one bad inning. Incidentally he won his game, 3 to 2.
 It was no easy victory for Bridge port. Knapp was a puzzle for four innings and was relieved in the sev- enth when his failure to cover first in the sixth had started the visitors on their way toward securing the win ming run. He was succeeded by Dave Shea, the Naugatuck youngster, who didn't allow a hit for three innings.
 The Spuds outbatted the Mechanics. six hits to three, but fortune favored the visitors. Knapp didn't allow a hit for four innings but in the fifth he got himself in hole by passing Stow. Eley then singled to center, Stow going to third and Eley making second on the throw in. Venableis fly to Nichols scored Stow and Eley counted on RusseIFs out at first.
 The third run came in the next in- ming With one out, Baker grounded to Gygil and was safe when Knapp failed to cover first Baker stole sec ond, went to third on a passed ball and scored on Crooks single over first: Crook started to steal second and Spratt stepped across home plate to bother Brennan. He didn't get away with it. however, as Red Held de- clared Spratt out for interference and sent Crook back to first.
 Cabrera was the clouting kid of the afternoon and his triple in the sixth scored the Spuds' two runs. In that

ALBANY MAY GET JERSEY CITY
 FRANCHISE NOW
(Buffalo Enquirer.)

Latest alleged information credits Lillis and McBreen of the Jersey City team with attempts to trade the In- ternational league franchise with AL bany magnates for the State league charter, now held by the town on the Hudson.
 That solution of the difficulty seems likely one, but enough wildcat r1- mors are going the rounds to discour- age the most ambitious guesser from doping it out
 Albany would be a convenient stop over on the changes from east 70 west.
 Larry Schlafiy, manager of the Jer- sey City team, was asked yesterday by an Enquirer reporter if there was anything new in the rumor that Jer- sey City clubowners had decided to transfer the team to some other city.
 Schlaf1y said he knew nothing about the deal except what he read in the papers. It will be remembered that Sohlafly last year was part owner and was manager of the Troy team in the State league and is a big favorite in both Troy and Albany If the Jer- sey team was transferred to the Capf- tai city it might be good thing ali around as the fans would all go to see Schlafly and the big hard-hitting manager whenever he played in AL bany a big crowd could be gathered at all games.

LEACH CROSS
 SHADES O'KEEFE

Before a crowd that made the old New York ice palace bulge out at the sides, Leach Cross shaded Tommy O'Keefe of Philadelphia and Phil Cross likewise outpointed Battling Bill Hurley of Passaic in ten-round bouts in the St. Nicholas Rink last night. The other scheduled ten-round mill between Johnny Dundee and Ty Cobb lasted only half a rounde Ty get ting belt in the jaw and turning his ankle so badly as he fell as to make it impossible for him to continue. O'Keefe gave Leach Cross great fight in the main bout, but the East Slider was too tough for the PhHadel- phian Though Tommy showed lots of speed and science he had to lower his crest to the slugging dentist.
 The Philadelphian was fast with both feet and hands and bothered Cross considerably with straight left and snappy right uppercuts. If O'Keefe had used his right uppercuts more frequently in the early rounds he might have held Cross to a draw: Cross fell in with his punches and was a mark for a right uppercut. O'Keefe, however. kept his right too much in leash in the early rounds, and when he did unlimber his star board battery in the closing rounds Cross had "a good defense for it.

NEW HAVEN TRYING TO BUY
 JACK HOEY AND PITCHER LOWER
Report That Murphy Will Wreck Waterbury
 Club to Help Relative

when the Spuds will begin to draw the crowds in Waterbury. To delib- erately wreck his team to help rival would make the Waterbury fans howl with rage.
 The fact that he sold two star play CTS to his relative would smack of syndicate ball. And the dismantling of tailend team to strengthen the leader in the same league is very poor business move. Deals of this kind in midseason between clubs of the same league should be prohibited by the directors. If New Haven needs players the management should be compelled to go outside for them, as other clubs do.
 Manager Cornell appears to be needlessly alarmed over his team anyway He has a lead of GA points. but because his boys are breaking even Ifn double headers. Jerry thinks they are bound for the cellar The race is just getting close now and the fans are beginning to take interest. It would be foolish mistake to kill the enthusiasm by wrecking tailend team at this crisis.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-07-25
(By Wagner.)


 An inside tip has been passed out that the New Haven club is trying to buy Manager Jack Hoey and pitcher Johnny Lower from Waterbury. It is said that Owner CameSop is so anx- ious to bolster up his slipping club that he has offered Owner Murphy of the Spuds s1, GOO for Hoey and Lower.
 Murphy is Cameron's brother-in law and perhaps he is anxious to help the New Haven owner at this stage of the race. Then, too, Murphy has lost money all season and $1. .00O would look big to him.
 But Murphy ought to use his better Judgment, if he has any, and refuse to make chump of himself The sale of two popular players like Hoey and Lower would absolutely kill baseball in Waterbury. It would make Mur- phy so unpopular that he would have to disguise himself with green whis- kers and slink back to Plainville.
 Since Hoey has been given control of the club, Waterbury has played fine ball and it is only question of time

IN MAJOR LEAGUES


 The Giants are pounding their way along the National League highway with just, three pitchers who can be relied on to do anything for the club Matty, Maruuard and Tesreau have been delivering the goods, but Ames and Wiltse have not yet shown any thing to cause them to swell with pride Several Western critics who watched the Giants on the last trip are of the opinion that unless Matty and MarQuard- are relieved from too steady work they will grow stale from over work and the team will slump as a re- suit. It is a fact that Matty and Mar quard and Tesreau have won practi- cally all of the games for the Giants this season and to these three belong the bulk of the credit for the long lead of the club over the balance of the field.
 Already the velvet tipped hammers are tapping on the classic dornes of Red Leon Ames and George CHooks) Wiltse. The question is being asked And it is hard at this writing to ans wer just why. Ames when he is good fs very good indeed. but he has for Ehe past two years carried concealed on his person the most obnoxious jinx fin captivity.
 wiltse is hard worker and consci- entious in his efforts to win for the club, bat he lacks the strength to go che route necessary in fighting for a pennant. ....
 Jack Murray of the Giants now stands in the light of redeemed ball player. After having looked upon his Bunburned locks as he struck out re- Peatedly and failed utterly to negotiate R. hit in the lamentable worlds series, you would never recognize Murray now. His present batting average is a vindication of his work last October, and his sensational fielding stunts at the Polo Grounds and on the recent grip abroad were features gf the teams pdaying.

 The mist out on the horizon of Octo- Der is clearing, with the result that the Giants and Red Sox loom up in the distance as the contenders in the next worlds. series. While direct claims are somewhat premature at this time Ct Is becoming more evident every day, that Boston is in the lead in the American League to stay. The pro- phesied slump of the Sox has not materialized and all corners have look Hd alike to them in the general mix fng The Athletics are now being fig sIred out of it, but Washington still flas a valid claim to a chance.
