ELKS .TROUNCE COPS IN HEAVY
 BATTING GAME
(By Wagner.l

When Terrible Terry Rogers munched hisS beans a la carte today he had to dine from the mantlepiece. Like the other bluecoats who at tempted to pinch the Elks. for speed ing around the bases yesterday, Terry was creaking in joints. The only way he could be comfortable was to stuff some sofa pillows under his aching bones. It was bad day for the cops because they lost to the Elks at base ball by 10 to z and Bill O'Leary lost his goat. When Fast seen 1t was headed toward the hot dog pagoda bleatiug plaintively
 At a late hour last night the mem bers of the Harry F. Quinn Marching & Chowder club were still parading ar0end Sea Breeze Island. They had impressed into service the Wheeler & Wilson band, the Cowboy band from Konjeckety's Wild West show and Oscar Knablin's Novelty orchestra: noise, Frank Nolan, the sweet singer of Naugatuck, insisted upon giving his imitation of Victor Moore about every 50 feet. Proxy Quinn who had lost his voice early in the afternoon kidding the coppers about their ball players, declared in a husky whisper that he would give Q box of Nugget cigars to anyone who could tie the tinware to Nolan.
 The EIks surprised the wise ones by their triumph over the pavement pounders. Frank Lalley served 'en as he did in his High school days and until the ninth inning the cops were helpless. They made four runs then but with the bases choked and none gone, Lalley easily disposed of the next three men. Frank famed 13 and gave 12 hits.

ST.. LOUIS AND
 BOSTON IN TRADE
May Swap Mowrey and
 Kouetchy for Jackson, V Houser and Brown

St. Louis. July 1S.-A big baseball trade is said to be under way between Boston and the St. Louis Cardinals. Bresnahan and Kling will get togetn- CT in St. Louis within the next IS hours, and unless present signs are very misleading the deal will be made before Boston finishes its series in that city.
 Jackson, outfelder; Ben Houser, first basemAn, and Buster Brown, pitcher, are sfhe Boston men slated to come to St. Louis; Mowrey, the crack third baseman, who has been on the outs with Bresnaflan all season. and who was reinstated yesterday, and Konetchy, the first baseman, who has won the u1anager's condemnation by invenfing. alibis for his mistakes are the men ready to be shunted off on Boston Kling is much in favor of making the deal.

KENNEDY MEETS
 BRIT0N WELLS
 THIS EVENING

Two of the cleverest and most scien- fife boxers among the heavyweight white hopes will clash tonight at the Garden A. C., New York. They are Bombardier wells, champion of Eng land, and Tom Kennedy, who once outpointed Al Palzer. Wells will weigh about 1s0 pounds when he en- ters the ring, and Kennedy about 195 pounds The bout is scheduled to go ten rounds, but the schedule may be shattered by a Knockout punch from one or the other boxer
 In many respects Wells and Ken nedy are relatively equal. In the mat ter of weight, five pounds will not make any material difference either for or against the chances of either man. When Wells fought Palze1 there was a difference of forty pounds Tn Palzer's favor, and this. advantage coupled with his great physical en- : sdurance, gave him victory and rob- bed Wells of a triumph. In other respects Wells and Kennedy line up or equal terms-boxing, cleyerness, at- tack and defense, hitting ability, foot work and height-Kennedy has shown that he can assimilate punches better than wells. Both are courageous to a degree, but physically the American is stronger than the Englishman.

 Jerry Connell!g the New Haven manager, sent in his SIS fine yester- day, afternoon and thereby escaped suspension. Jerrytwas probably afraid to absent himself from the bench; His team might win 8 few games II Jerry took his genial countenance away and then the whole world would know what many. already suspect, that Jerry is a false alarm as man. ager.
 Nothing was heard today from Frank Dessau,. the pitcher Bridgeport was after. When asked about the matter Manager McGann expressed surprise that the news had leaked out He said Dessau had been wired to report if he was a free agent. Since then he had received mo word was pitching for Atlanta in the South ern association. Perhaps he won a game and Atlanta refused to part with him.
 Third Basenan Cy Miller has been sold to Springfield The old boy had outlived his usefulness in this city. He had slowed up on the bases and although he made occasional long hits, he struck out and popped up too often to please the fans. He may go better in Springfield. Genest will probably be shifted back to the out- field for Springfield and Dell may be released.
 SHORT, SNAPPY Sports.
 That was fine dream Dan O'Neil had about using. Steve Manning against Bridgeport in all future games. The Holyoke magnate thought because Manning happened to win a IA inning game last week that he had the Mechanics buffaloed. So Dan called his press agent and announced that Manning would pitch both ends of a double header yesterday and would trim Bridgeport twice. In the fourth inning ef the first battle they picked up Steve's shattered remains and sent Gipe to the rescue.
 Skipper Eley arrived home last night with wide smile on his well known collection of features. He was the proud author of a home run in Holyoke and visions of five bills and five pounds of tobacco made him feel so this makes $10 he has grabbed from Owner FFeeman's bank roll in one week.

O'NeH says he gave Farrell a chance at the player but heard nothing from the New York owner. The. national commission will probably be called upon to decide the matter.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

The real fans of Gotham are not ready to abandon hope and faith in the Giants for a few defeats, although the gloombirds are on the rail chant ing the death knell and discussing the most suitable flowers to send to the bereaved relatives. An even break in the West will keep them we'll in the front and their chances for that are bright even in the face of the poor start they have made.
 In spite of the fact that Detroit is nowhere in the race it continues to be one of the best drawing cards in the American league. This is proof again of the public,s hero worship. The crowds would likely turn out just the same to see Ty Cobb if he was playing with the worst club in the league. Tn addition to this Cleveland Boston and Philadelphia have players who are pressing the wonderful Tyrus for the batting honors of the John- son circuit. which adds to the general interest.
 Wagner Stail. Yerkes, Gasdner and Wood are given as five reasons why the Red Sox are leading the American league. Why not make 1t eight and add Speaker, Hooper and Lewis, who comprise about as good an outf1e1d as any big league manager can boast of?
 In pointing to Ty Cobb as the great est of ball players few stop to think of the assistance he gets from Sam Crawford, who as cleanup man in the Detroit batting order lays back in the shadow while the full glory is reflect ed on Cobb. Cobb has the speed and accuracy Of eye which enables him to get on base often. But without as reliable an old hand as Crawford fol- lowing him to nick in with a timely hit Tyrus would not score as many runs as he does, nor is it likely that be would shine on the bases with such brilliancy working with less brilliant partner than Crawford.
 A false impression has been created regarding the interest in the National league race owing to the start the Giants got on the balance of the clubs. It seems to be the general be- lief that the old organization has not been furnishing interesting events. On the contrary the season just half completed has been replete with sur
