ELKS AND POLICE
 READY FOR BATTLE

There will undoubtedly be great doings at Sea Breeze next Wednesday afternoon, as it marks the occasion of the annual meeting of the Bridge; port Police and the local Elks base ball hines on the diamond. While the Elks' team has appeared out-of- town, it will be the initial local ap- pearance of both rivals and unusual interest will attach to the game be- cause of that reason. There is all ways a keen rivalry between these two clubs, and though it is of q friendly sort, there is no question but that both clubs, will struggle hard to earn victory. Frank Lalley, the old high school star. is captain of the Antlered aggregation, while Sergeant ''Bill'' O'Leary is performing a simi-= lar duty with the "cops.' As is al ways the case in games of these sorts, both captains are claiming a sure win. The complete lineup and batteries for the game will be an nOunced at a later date

 Manager Jerry Cornell of New Ha- ven has been fined $10 by, President O'Rourke in addition to the $5 fine which goes with his expulsion from the game. Jerry had an argument with Umpire Mullaney in New Haven, Thursday, and was chased from the grounds. He kicked on an umpire's s decision, which everybody in the stand thought was the correct ruling. Then Jerry became abusive.
 They all look alike to me- declared the president today. 'All those who use vile language toward the umpires will get the same treatment

yoke owner declared after the game yesterday that he will not pay the fine. ''I wouldn't care If he fined me $75.'' he said. Ut isn't my fine I'm kicking about. But I think Pres ident OiRourke was wrong in not fin- ing Landgraf as heavily as he did O'Hara. He didn't come near the Holyoke players for a statement when we played here last Saturday, but the next day when Springfield came here he interviewed Guest and Landgraf. He's been influenced by the Spring field papers. If he had fined the play CTS the, same amount I would have paid my own fine in a minute"
 President O'Rourke laughs at the charges that he was partial to Spring field. The umpire was my repre- sentative at the game" declares Un- cle Jeems ''He says O'Hara was the aggressor in the fight. In. the face of that I couldn't very well fine Land graf

{ Chicago, July 13.-Jack Johnson, the champion pugilist, who, with his wife, was recently indicted by the Federal Grand Jury on a charge of smuggling a diamond necklace into this country, was arrested yesterday charged with striking. and intimidst- ing Charles Brown, a negro chauf- feur, one of the Government's prir1- cipal witnesses in the case. Brown formerly was employed by Johnson as a chauffeur He is only five feet tall and slightly built.
 When Brown entered the pugilist's z barroom yesterday Johnson asked him what he told the Grand Jury about the diamond necklace, ana when the witness declined to tell him the pugilist is alleged to have struck Brown in the face.
 Johnson was arraigned before United States 4Commissione Charles A. Buell., and the hearing was con- tinued until today after he had fur nished a bond of $5,000 Johnson denied having assaulted Brown and explained that when the chauffeur came into his place he ordered Brown out When Brown refused to go, J Johnson says, one of his friends pushed him out.

 With the pennant almost won, Me- Graw finds himself in pretty much the same sort of trouble as year ago. Matty and Marquard are again the only veteran hurIerS upon whom he can really depend, with Jeff Tes- reau threatenig to break through at any time with winning streak.

In the training camp he dug up his old cross- fire delivery, barred yeara ago by Hank O'Day, who called the delivery illegal because he never could keep track of it while workig behind a left handed batter.
 Otie Crandall, too, has been a dis appointment. He has pitched only one or two really good games in three or four weeks. Several times, at the Polo Grounds, it seemed as though he had nothing in the world but fair ly good control and a stout heart With the climbing temperature Leon Ames, never so good as during the cooler days of the spring and early fall, has fallen off.

 Still, if Washington can go along winning seventeen games in one stretch, dropping four or five and then crashing through with ten more in one cluster, it is highly probable that the Nationals will continue to figure in the American League pennant chase.

Umpire Dick Nallin will join the staff of the Connecticut league next week and Tommy Corcoran will go President Ed Barrow of the Inter- national league has agreed to loan Nallin to this league for the re- mainder of the season. He will be subject to recall at two weeks notice. Nallin officiated in this circuit last season and was a big success. He is fearless official who will be well comed by players and fans alike.
 President O'Rourke is sorry to part as a fine official but says the veteran is in bad with several clubs and that has made considerable difficulty in giving assignments. He will endeav- or to find Corcoran a place on an- other circuit or will give him first chance at all utility work if Corcoran so desires. The president has been after, Nallin since the beginning, of the season He did not want to take any unpires who live in this section but when Wagner got through it was necessary to get somebody in hurry. For that reason Corcoran was se- cured.
 Benny Kauff has been released by Brockton of the New England league. He has been hitting poorly and was recently benched.
