when Heating, after pitching a no hit game, let the cat out of the bag. At least he is supposed to have whispered to somebody that he had been pur- chased by the fIighlanders. Keating is described as a powerful young man with natural pitching ability and un- usual intelligence.
 sKeating's work against Worcester on Saturday excited favorable com ment everywhere and probably de- lighted the owners of the Highlanders more than anybody. He was as steady as a church from start to fin ish, had superb control and looked like a champion. Heating is one of several star youngsters who will join the Highlanders in the fall. Two crack college players are among the number and two promising infelders, who have been snapped up in time to keep them out of the hands of one of the leading managers. President Farrell is going ahead spending money lfberally for talent and deserves suc- cess. He is greatly encouraged by the recent work of the Highlanders and is confident that they will soon be close to the top. In the American League standing this morning 1t will be seen that although the Hillmen are in seventh position they are just four games behind the Washingtons, who are hanging on to third place.

GREAT FINISH
 BY MECHANICS : DEFEATS PONIES

 Battling Jack Teller was so sore last night that he refused to buy him self cigar. The Springfield man. aser sat on the bench at Sea Breeze Island and watched the Mechanics snatch a game out of the fire after the Ponies were ahead by to in the ninth with two out. Perhaps there wasn't some enthusiasm in that crowd of 2,500 when Bridgeport made that thrilling rally and tied the score.
 It looked pretty hopeless up to that time, too. Sandy Bannister had been tw1rl1ng brilliantly. The veteran out guessed the local sluggers and retired them runless in several rounds when they had men on bases. In the first third with none out and in the sixth there was the same com bination but Bannister retired the side. He had a little luck in the sixth when .Foran's liner went directly into Genest's hands That drive looked as if it would clear the sackS.
 Dick Tuckey did a line job on the mound for Bridgeport. The young ster was very steady and although he got bad start in the first he settled down and had. the Ponies subdued in the final eight rounds. He went out in the ninth to let Bridges bat for him. Freddy Gibbs took up the bur- den in the tenth aud put the screws on the visitors although he passed Stricker and let him get to second on Guests sacrifice. Gfbby also had the honor of driving in the winning run with 8 single in the tenth
 Bob Stow, Tom Crook and Speedy Foran were the headliners in batting Bob got two doubles and a single, Tom blew himself to a double and a single, while O'Rourke and Foran were there with two singles each O'Rourke. Snyder and Crook were on hand with dazzling fielding. Skipper Eley injured his ankle in sliding home Saturday and was unable to play. Snyder did great work in left.
 After Springfield had picked up two in. the first. the locals tried vainly to thing with Bannister. The crowd started to leave in the ninth but ling cred when Russell cracked out hit. Bridges, batting for Tuckey, famed. Snyder soaked one at Guest and Rus- sell was forced at second. Stow dou- bled~ to left sending Snyder to third. Two out, two runs behind and rum ners on second and third. Would Crook save the bacon? He would by a large majority. The big fellow sent the fans into frenzy by swatting a two bagger to right sending Snyder and Stow across the pan. Miller made the third out.
 In the tenth Speedy Foran beat out a slow roller by a great sprint. Nor- ris sacrificed. Genest dropped Rus sails fly and then Gibbs pulled the curtain by smashing a sizzler to left with the hurrah tally. The score:

ST. JOES TR0uNcE STAMFORD BUNCH
 IN GREAT RALLY
(By Dunigan.)

In a close and exciting game yes- terday the St. Josephs defeated the Stamford team 5 to in the ninth in- ming after the visitors had tied the score in their half
 In the first two innings the St. Joes found LOvedales for six hits, including doubles by Wilson and Butler and a triple by Coles, which netted them four runs. After this hits were scat tered. Butler tripled in the sixth but was doubled up at home trying to score after the catch on Gallagher's fly to right. Coles doubled in the eighth but was left. Meanwhile Curry was moving the Stamfords down with ease, although giving bases on balls generously and tightening up when danger threatened.
 In the seventh Smith secured a free pass, took second when Curry passed FftSpatrick, and reached third on Glb1in'S out, scoring when Wilson had a passed ball. The ninth opened with Cleary safe on O'Malley's error, stole second and scored on Smiths two rick singled, scoring Smith. Excite ment reigned when Giblin was safe on a scratch hit. Coles argued long with Umpire By but to no avail. Finally Coles requested the umpire to get the crowd off the first base line and the game proceeded. Curry fam ned Leary. Lovedale strolled on four wide ones. J. Giblin, the ex-O Orator, worked Curry for 8 free ticket forcing Fitzpatrick home with the tiefng run. Newbauer ended the inning by flying out to Downey.
 Butler, the first man up for the Joes drove a hard drive to center which Clark caught after good run. On Gallagher's tap J. Giblin threw wild Gallagher taking second. Christy walked, Gallagher stealing third on the fourth ball. Christy then stole second. Curry won his own game, getting a trrific wallop to right but was robbed of at least a triple due to the fact the game was over when Gallagher crossed the plate, thus Cur ry received credit for only a single.
 Coles and Butler were leading stick CTS for the Joes and although Curry walked nine, his pitching was easily the feature of the game, three of the hits secured off him being of the very scratchiest kind. The score:

Local fans will be glad to learn that Ray Keating, the East Bridgeport boy who has won nine straight games for Lawrence of the New England league. has been purchased by the New York Americans. Keating's showing has been wonderful this season and his friends expect him to be a star in the big show. The New York Sun today says:
 Pitcher Keating of the Lawrence New England League team, who shut out the Worcesters without a hit or a run Saturday, is regarded as a phe nomenon by, the major league scouts. Hence a great scramble for his ser vices with the New York Americans nosing out their rivals! Heating, coming down to cases, is the property of the Hilltop club, and he will join WOlverton's men in September.
 "A scout who has been spying up in New England as well as in other parts of the country since. the season opened, glued his lamps on Heating two weeks ago and after watching him closely in a couple of games he hurried to the telegraph office and wired President Farrell.
 Back came quick reply to land the young pitcher at the best possible terms and the deal was closed. All this was kept a secret 'until Saturday,
