REDS SUSPEND
 CATCHER MILAN
STOP HOME FOR FAILING TO APPEAR AT GAME.

When the Cincinnati Reds arrived in Brooklyn yesterday. Larry Mclean, missing. Larry was on his way to Cincinnati tagged with an indefinite suspension from Manager -O'Day. It was rumored that Larry had not been behaving, but O'Day says the catcher was punished for insubordin ation. According to one of the Cincinnati scribes with the Rhinelanders, Mo Lean failed to report for the exhibi- tion game in Syracuse on Monday with the Washingtons. and when rep rimanded. by O'Day "saesed' his chief tain like a village cut-up. O'Day promptly handed Mclean the suspen- sion.
 Hank yesterday was in loquaeious mood, and had lot to say about his team. The boys would now be fight ing it out with the Giants instead of trailing in fourth place" said O'Day, Why, at one time Fromme lost nine straight games, and Suggs, my best pitcher, won only one game between June 30 and August IT. In one of the series during the slump we scored twenty-eight runs in three games, yet failed to take one of the three con tests.
 ''The injury hoodoo has been camp ing on our trail all season also Two of my best batters, Bates and Mar sans, are on the hospital list. and the Akron team of the Central league, in center field. I also was unable to make several purchases I had in mind was after Schalk, Corridor and Butler, whom I considered to be among the best big league timber in the minors. You can see how the team would hay. bean streE Egthened by any one of that trio.''
 When O'Day was asked what he thought of the offer of Gaffney of the Boston Braves to trade Sweeney for Eob1itzeI and Mitchell, Hank gave a. diegusted snort and remarked that some persons certainly could do a lot of loose talking. Hank thinks the RhineIanders nave struck their gait again and will win the majority of their remaining games.

GRIFFITH GOT
 $f6,OOO CHECK
FOUR GAMES SENATORS PLAYED IN BOSTON LAST WEEK
 PROVED PROFITABLE.

Of tbe crowds that turn out in New York for a worlds championship base Some idea of what Boston can do when il has a winning team and even before the worlds series may be gain ed from the recent experiences of Grif- fith's team in that city. Although his team lost all except one of the four games played at Fenway Park last week against the Red Sox Grif- fth left town for the West with one recollection of the series that certainly was a happy one. In his inside pocket Grin carried a check signed by Pres ident McAleer and Treasurer McROy of the Boston club for more than $16,- GOO, the Senator's share of the gate re- ceipts for the four games that the Washington men played in Boston.
 The four games were witnessed by approximately S5,00o persons. We'd nesday 15,0oo paid to see the game, 13.- Friday and about 10000 Saturday The figures refer, of course. only to those paying to see the games, the gross at ands larger. These of course are not oficia1 figures, but they are near enough.
 The division of the receipts for the major league games is brought about very simply. The visiting club receives half of the general admission prtce that Is, 121k cents for every 25-cent all others inside the field, whether the ticket used cost 15 cents, $1, $1-25 or S1.5O. The real ratio, however, IS slightly less. as the league itself re- ceives a small percentage of all mon ey taken in at the box offices.
 The receipts for the entire series between Boston and Washington must have been very close to S44.0O0. Of the s0.0O0 or more paying fans, at least 45,0O0 had places in the grand stand, paying prices varying from 75 cents to $1.5O
 During the series probably 800 $1. 50 seats were sold, making $1,20O AS many more $1.25 seats were sold. mak- ing s1, 900 Surely 5000 paid $1 for a seat and the remainder paid 75 cents a total of $22. .25O.
 Twenty-Five thousand fans may be said to have paid 50 cents apiece, making s12.5O0, and between 12.000 and Is 900 roughly, paid 25 cents, for per- haps a total of $3, 800.
 Reckoning on these fl fgures, the to- tai receipts for the entire series well might have reached S43, GOO $44, 900. Allowing S16,0O0 for Washington's share of the receipts. the Boston manage ment must have received between $27,- 900 and $2S, 900.

Bridgeport had a very feeble defense against the Hartford scoring machine yesterday afternoon and the local team won standing up.
 Carl Lundgren- pitched a game that was worth looking at. He put the ball where he pleased and there were no false motions about his delivery to presented Barron, who had lost but one game up to yesterday.
 Baron is a Bridgeport boy and is expected to star in the box next sea- son. Lundgren showed such wonder full control of the pill that Si Mo Donald gave an exhibition of what a second base line with glove outstretch- ed and Mcdonald threw the ball right into the glove.
 The steam roller did not get into ac- tion until two were out in the opening round. High singled, stole second and scored on a double by Gardella.

Lundgren flew out to left Kauff was passed, filling the bases, Warmer hit to first and Crook tried to make the play himself, but failed, the rum ner being safe and Moves scoring.
 In the fifth, Gardella singled. He stole second and went to third when the ball to catch him went out into the field. He scored on a sacrifice fly by Mcdonald.
 Bridgeport did not do much until the fourth inning, when after one was out. Crook, Snyder, and Spratt punched singles. Stow sent a fly to High and Crook made a bluff to run in from third. He turned back after the throw, but when he saw the throw was short he made a dash for tho plate. Then he saw the ball would heat him and he turned back again, only to be run down and tagged by Moves. With two out in the fifth, VenabIe hit for two bases and Barron was safe on an error by Miller.

RULE CROSS OUT
 FOR KIDNEY PUNCH
LEACH DISQUALIFIED IN BOUT WITH DUFFY AFTER BEING
 REPEATEDLY WARNED.

For the repeated use of the kidney punch, a blow forbidden by the State Athletic Commission, Leach CToss or the East Side was disQualifed Fpy Referee Dan Tone in the fourth round of the scheduled ten-round bout with Jimmy Duffy of Buffalo at the st- Nicholas A. C., New York, last night Before disquaIifyfns Cross, Tone warned him several times to stop the use of the punch. In the fourth round Cross unintertionally hit low, but followed up by going into a clinch and shooting his right twice to Duffy kidneys Tone i1nme ediately broke the men and, waving Cross to his corner, said: You are disqualified.
 The kidney punch is permissible un- der the QueehSberry rules, but IS barred in this State by the Boxing Commission. Many fans who did not know of the rule of the Commission prohibiting the use of this punch thought that Cross was disquauhsd Iivered just prior to going into the last clinch in which he pounded Duf- fv's kfdneys Those who have the best interests of boxing at heart warmly commended Tone for dfsQualf- flying Cross.

ter. and, there are geographical Hmi- tations to be considered. Both the Army and the Navy are apt to be willing to go fairly half way to meet. but I doubt if the Navy people would undertake the trip to New Haven, even if the Yale management were to make the most liberal arrangements in the matter of tickets for the two branches of the service. Philadelphia seems to suit the Navy quite well, New Haven would be swamped with the sort of crowd that would require first class mmodations after the game and since the teams are dfs1n- clined to play in New York, where the hotel requirements would be easily fulfilled, 1t is hardly likely that they can be brought together again in any city save one of the first class
 The one experience at Princeton was enough, even though the blunders there had nothing to do with the Princeton management The followers of the two Teams usually want city conveniences after the game, and these are hardly to be found in New Haven to an extent that would match up with a city like New York or Phfls- deIphia. If Yale gets the game tf will be a great tribute to the Tar reaching diplomacy of the Blue

After the East Bridgeport team de- feated the Colonials last Sunday and knocked one more champion aspirant from the list, Pop Moran hustled around and secured Newfeld Park for Saturday, Sept. 21 with the hope of forcing the White SoN to recognize the claim of his team. Moran says that it is optional with him as to whether the White Sox accept the chance or not as by his team defeat ing the Colonials, a team which has defeated the White sox, he has prov en that his team has prior claim TO the championship. Moran says that he will insist upon one rule and that is that no player can take part in the game that has not played in one or more games with either team.
 If the White Sox do not accept this challenge the East Tablespoons Will open a three games series with the Brookside Specials starting next Sun day at Wheeler's lot.

YALE AND CORNELL, MAY PLAY FOOTBALL
RUNIOR THAT ITHACANS AS WE'LL AS ARMY AND NAVY WILL
 VISIT NEW STADIUM.
(New York Sun.)

(New York Sun.)
 From usually reliable source comes the story that Yale is already taking up the question Of another special dium. This report has it that anoth- CT year game will be played with Cornell or some Western university perhaps Chicago, and that the Army and the Navy will be asked to use the stadium for their annual game. The mere suggestion of Cornell is extreme ly interesting. Although Cornell could hardly be expected to play Yale, Dartmouth and Pennsylvania in one season and do well with all, it is bare ly possible that the game with Dart nual fixture. The negotiations look ing toward the game between these two were toilsome and at times. close to the breaking point. The game is really an experiment.
 The Hanover men found it impos- Sible to make a twO-year agreement for home and home games with the Ithacans, and I doubt if Cornell can ever be induced to make the trip to Hanover in the light of a chance to get a game against Yale--I think un- der the new order of things that it should be called 8 game with" Yale, for the old mutual animos1ty of years standing that grew out of the rowing situa tion has apparently died out to marked extent. Dr. Charpe's presence at Ithaca should be constant good word for Yale, and there are other for ceS at WOrk at New Haven tending to change the old time Eli attitude to- ward Cornell.
 The two institutions have already met in friendly spirit in baseball and basketball and on the track and wa ter, and many Yale crews are great admirers of Charley Courtney and his pupils. The modern Yale man has no axe to grind with the CorneIlian. and the same thing goes for the Cornellian. There is no doubt that Cornell, coach ed by D-. Sharpe, would prove a draw ing card at New Haven the grid Iron, and to speak very frankly, such a game would not be the slugging match that it might have been years ago.
 There was a time when each insti- tuition believed that there was no health in the other and when the un- dergraduates were hardly on speaking terms. This is not mentioned with any idea of reviving the old animosity but merely to show what the passing of time can accomplish in inter-uni- versity relations. Such a game as has been suggested is well within the range of possibility, and I think it would be better for both institutions to build up alliance right here at home than to seek the lightly-found- ed relationship of East vs. West, which makes no really deep appeal to the undergraduate bodies, or the graduate either, of the universities in- volved

 \ Although there has been consider able talk of an eight club league for next season, most of the Connecticut league magnates are ir. faVo- of stick ing to the old six club circuit. They declare six cities with good finances make a better proposition than eight teams two of which might be weak in finances.
 Manager McCann of the Bridgeport club said this morning that he thought the magnates would stick to six clubs. Springfield, Holyoke, Hartford and New Haven are said to favor this idea. Local fans would prefer an eight club circuit. They see the same teams too often under the present ara ngement and are not backward about saying so The magnates will find they have made a serious mistake if they fail to have eight club league in 1915
 President O'Rourke of the Connecti- cut league will catch part of the game for New Haven against Waterbury at savin Rock Saturday afternoon. There will be a double header.
