Jim Murphy has sold his Waterbury club to slapper Sam Kennedy, the the Cleveland scout. Kennedy was in Wa
 terbury last Friday inquiring about the club and Murphy admitted yester- day that the deal had been made. Kennedy is well known around this circuit. He is a scrappy manager and will undoubtedly make good in Water bury. Because of his experience as a big league scout he is able to pick up many promising young players and it is believed that the Cleveland club will use the Brass City as farfn. The American 1eaguers are believed to be Kennedy's financial packers in the deal
 Murphy still has lease on the New Britain grounds for next season. He will probably-put in a team there and it is expected that New London will complete the eight club circuit Ken nedy is. said to have agreed to give s7,Ooo for the Waterbury franchise.
 Thursday will be ladies' day at Newfe1d park when the Waterbury club will show here. There will be a dou- bleheader on Friday with New Haven as the attraction.
 Waterbury has released Foot Ruell and Pitcher Parker. RueII has been laid up with a wrenched toe. Parker's arm is strained.
 It looks as if Lefty High of Hart ford would finish the season as the leading hitter of the Connecticut league He is now batting at a 1924 clip and Benny Kauf of Hartford is going at a .344 pace. Kauff is stead fly dropping, though, and in view of the fact that he has played in only A games to Highs 112, the honors would probably be awarded to High anyway. Lefty will join Detroit September 17. It is only his second year in profess siona1 company but he looks like one of the best players ever turned out in this league Pop Foster of New Ha- ven is third in line with 1909.

Rajah Salmon Of dear old Princeton, has the distinction of being the only optional agreement player in the Con necticut league He is one of Connie Maek's numerous string and looked so good when he was at college that Connie Mack and Manager Bresnahan of the St. Louis Cardinals went be- fore the national commission to fight for his services.
 Holyoke, Dan O'Nef1 trotted Salmon out and the kid always put the Bridge port crowd on the slide. Yesterday his stuff didn't alarm anybody and our boys slapped his slants for enough runs to beat HolyoEze by to ?.
 The Mechanics displayed more pep per than usual and although they wob- bled in the field at times they were trying every minute. Their hitting was something like the early season article. The boys struck the safe hloWs when they would do some good. Tom Crook had a triple and single and Harvey Russe!i collected a double and one bagger
 Sunny Sexton strolled into the rifle pit and moved down the eluggtng Pa permalers with his slippery elm ball. Sexton kept the rape we'll scattered but for some bad support in the ninth: He allowed but six safeties. passed two and famed four.
 Bridgeport grabbed three in the opener. Baker was safe on Hannifan's error. Crook singled and Snyder bunt- ed safely, filling the bases. Jack and Crook. Bridges sacrifice fly brought Snyder home.
 In the third Crook tripled and slid na on sfo fsred s5og % and fbto to started to steal second. The throw went wold and Stow continued to third. He romped in when Bridges clouted for a cushion
 The last tally came in the sixth when Russell doubled to left. He was forced at third by Venable and Buck took second on Sexton's out Venab1e tal1ied on O'Hara's wild throw of Bakers grounder. The score:

WESTERN STAR GOLFER GETS CONSOLATION FOR HIS DE- FEAT AT TRAVERS'
 HANDS.

Wheaton. H.. Sept. 9-For his de- feat in the final Of the annual cha m pionship tournament of the United States Golf Association by Jerome D. Travers, of Upper Montclair, Saturday, Chick Evans, of Edgewater, the Western titleho1der, yesterday gained some consolation when he won the qualifying medal after play-oIf at IS holes with Harold H. Hilton, Holy- lake, England. with round of 72 to 75.
 By this victory Evans redeemed himself in the eyes of Ais admirers. His play was brilliant and flawless, with the exception of the seventeenth hole. where he drove into the rough from the tee, then to a bunker, and took a 5. one over par. Evans how ever had the medal won by this time as he still had a lead of three strokes starting for the home hole.
 Where Evans excelled was in his ar- proaching although with this one ex- ception. his drives were always on the line Usually. too. he got suffi- cient length to outdistance his oppon- ent from the tee.

JOE WOOD HURLS
 SWEETEST BALL
RED sOx WONDER HAS MORE SPEED THAN JOHNSON AND
 ALSO GOOD CURVE.

Here are some interesting facz. about Joe Wood, the famous Boston 6ed Sox pitcher, who will face the Glants in the worlds series, uuIerg accIdents happen. Wood was born fD Kansas City in 1889, and was able to curve ball when he was seven years old. His first professional engage ment was with Hutchinson, Kan, ia l9o1. his greatest feat that year befrlr, a no hit game. He pitched for Kan sas City In the American Association in 1908, and in August of that year ne Joined the Red Sox upon the rec ornm endation of Fred Lake
 wood won eleven games and lost seven in 1909, with twelve victories and thirteen defeats in 1910. me BOX played post season series with the Giants that fall, and Wood trlunped over Matty in two of tf1e games. In 1911 Wood won twenty three games and lost seventeen. pitch ing another no hit game aRaingt f1a St Louis Browns. With last FrfdaSy'E victory over Walter Johnson, he scored his thirtieth victory, havfner season. S---'
 Standing feet 11H inchea tsIr wood weighs 16S polnds, and is be- neVed to be the swiftest pitcher fu the profession. When he started out with the Red Sox he depended cfief- Iy upon speed, but soon ke deVe1oped puzzling slow ball. It WAS uof unfu this year that Wood began uafug s sweeping out curve, which has heIped nm wonderfully. He is never tro1- bled with a lame arm, and in addf- ton to his box work, he can cover nrst base on a pinch. Wood has never been lined or elected for kicking.

BOSTON RED SOx OUT
 TO CAPTURE 102 GAMES
Want to Beat Record Made By
 Athletics in X910.

So much attention has been paid by fans and writers to the rumpus the National league, that even the American league cities have been prone to overlook the great record being made by the Boston Red Sox this year.
 They have proceeded at such an even pace that the public is just be- ginning to realize that all the Aneri- can league leaders have to do is to win II of their remaining 24 games to pass the winning record Of 102 vic- tories in one season, set by the PhilaI- de1phia Athletics in 1910. That should be easy for them, travelling at their present rate, when they have won 92 and lost 3S.
 Washington, from being contend CT with Boston for the pennant, has the fight of it's life on hand to beat the Athletics out of second place, which position the Athletics now hold.

EARLY FALL IDEAS

Paris has brought out new color tone known eclipse because it cast of the eclipse, which was almost total, in that city during the early part of May.
 The color, of course, has tones. or shades. which will be seen in dress fabrics trimmings and all the acces- sories to the millinery trade.
 New shades of brown will be in in allied either to the tulip or cerise shades, for both show reflections of purple and red. Leading milliners shades of amber, which are little less extreme than the golden colors shown heretofore, and promise to be far more popular than any shade of vel
 For general wear, dark brown and dark gray are expected in a meas ure to replace the long continued pop ularity of black and white.
 An interesting note in the newest millinery is that many of the hats are oblong,- with brim facing of black covering of moire antique.
 Moire Francaise in very new striped pattern is emphasized by leading niIliners abroad because of ing materials will afford the milliners greater oppor tunity for variation than has been seen for some time. but at chaser some little trouble
 When selecting materials for a hat how will the majority of women know which two materials will look best or will be best suited to her style? :? She must in order to be strictly fash ionable, be able to decide whether she wishes her cha peau to be of velvet and moire, velvet and fur, velvet and silk satin leather or ottoman.
 What a strain upon the nerves a question like this to decide.
 And the color combinations? Oh, yes. that must be selected with ex- treme care, an added tax on the pow CTS of decision.
 On these new oblong shapes, the trimming is placed to accentuate the longevity of the hat It IS put on near the back and extends backward over the brin itself while in some cases the brim is pointed out in the back.
 This feature is doubtless inspired by the Louis XVI hat, that has been so popular during the summer. The winter models, however, are quite diff ferent in shape, although the 1nspira- ton springs from the same source.
 double brim effect will be seen times this double brim is formed by an extension of the crown, again it is produced by a slashing and over lapping at the side.
 In other models it is found in the turning of the brin, but in every case it is utilized in the placing of the trimming.
 Ostrich feather fringe is used in trimming those with the brim turned, aigrettes on those having the slash ed effect and flat wings are placed in a slanting angle those with the entire brim doubled. This feature will be emblazoned on the trig-tailor-

CALIFORNIA NATIVE SONS
 WILL CELEBRATE TODAY

Few nations states provinces celebrate any nomentous anniversary in their history with so much enthu- eiasm as the Native Sons of the Gold en West brings to the observance of Admission Day in California. It was sixty-two years ago today that Cali fornia became State. two years af- ter it had been ceded by Mexico to the United States.
 The Order of the Native Sons of the Golden West, which is in charge of today's Admission Day observance, was founded by Gen A. M. Vim
 who called a meeting to form such June 29, 1785 The Native Sons" first appeared in public in Fourth of July parade in 1875. three score young men marching under the banner of the new order. The first Admission Day anniversary to be observed by the Native Sons was on Sept. g. 1875. The order immediately gained in pop ularity and in 1878 a grand parlor," or supreme governing board, was con- stituted. Today there are nearly 200 parlors, local bodies, and the to- tai mem ship of the order is about 2o,000. The principal purpose of the order is to perpetuate in the minds the early history of the Golden State, and especially of the days of '49. The order also has various social features of the pioneers wffo constitute the membership of the order have been accused of undue pride in their an
 
 come from one of the sturdiest and most sta1wart and progressive pioneer ancestries the world has ever known. No other State celebrates it's birth day with so much eclat as California, and the native Californian, no mat ter where he may have wandered, will tell you today that the people of no other State have so much reason for celebrating. The pioneer spirit and ideals of the Great West are well worthy of perpetuation, and the Ma tive Sons and Daughters mya be for given the air of superiority they will wear today
