The St. Joseph's lost to the Anson- ias at Sunnyside, sAnsonia, yesterday Ansonia hit Kelly hard and often in the first three innings before he was relieved. and secured a lead which the locals were unable to overcome Tf1- man. who succeeded Kelly. pitched great ball. The local outfeld starred throughout the game. Gallagher pull ed down, hard drive close to the line after great run. Tn the ninth Sey- field above six inches or the ground. Halpin played a steady game at cen- tor. Cushion of the Ansonia team secured four hits three of which were doubles. The locals secured five sof their eight hits in the eighth and ninth innings: In the ninth Halpin was the victim of an unusual play. In sliding into the base the bag broke away from It's fastening. Ha1pin se- cured the bag. again and upon step ping off was tagged out. It was the opinion of many that the umpire should, have called time while the bag was being adjusted, thus making the ball dead until returned to the pitch CT. This. was only one instance of which the locals got the worst end of the umpire question. F7-s sfsss,s
 It seems as if the umpires all over the circuit are inclined to give the visitors the worst end, and this ap- QtlcS diso tO IHe Iocal uk0plFeaWnO mas always favored the home teams The local lump" got canned and it is about time some others got the hook also. The locals used Larsen and Kelly for the first time this season, while the Ansonia team presented an almost new lineup. D'Andrea, for merly of the West Ends of this city, played at short and accepted nfne of eleven chances. which was exceeding ly good considering the condition of were compelled to stand in hole at least. six inches deep, and 1t was all most impossible for batter to get started. This is no excuse for the locals losing as they were clearly out batted.

A new automobile register, giving the list of registered motor vehicles of the state, revised to June 1, has been issued by the automobile department in connection with the office of the secretary of the state. The register in cludes the motor vehicle law, rules of the road. as well as the taxable horse power ratings of pleasure and com- book contains 46e pages, as against 374 pages in the register issued last September. Some idea of the growth in the popularity of the automobile may be gained from the fact that the reg ister shows HATS privately owned cars as against 1S.215 last September 1. The book also shows 15 manufacturers reg istered, APO dealers, $50 liverymen, g motor cycle dealers and 1,766 motor cycle owners. At the present time there are about 10000 people in the state holding licenses as operators of motor vehicles. ,-

Red Fisher Gets $IO Fine From Umpire
 Dohery and $I0 From President

Uncle Jeems in which he was fined $10 by the league head. This is in addition to the fine of a ten spot inn posed by Umpire Mild Mike Doherty last Friday. Fisher says he won't have any salary coming to him July 1.
 According to those in a position to see, the umpire missed the play on Bridges in the third inning, which caused McCann's kick. It is said that the Springfield player dropped the ball after touching Bridges but the players were between the umpire and the play so that he couldn't see it.. In his letter to the league president Umpire Held frankly says that if the player dropped the ball he didn't know it. People in right field said Dell caught Spratt's fly few inches from the ground in the 11th. There was quite kick about this decision.

 VAUGHN OF HIGHLANDERS

Providence, R. l., June 24.-An- nouncement was made here yesterday that the Providence club of the In- ternational League has bought the re- lease of Jim Vaughn, the big Texas southpaw of. the New York Highland CTS He is to report at once to the Grays.
 It is said here that the owners of the New York club procured waivers on Vaughn after being convinced that he. never will be of any service to them. He had many chances to make good for the High1anders, but passed them up and became careless and iri- different in. his work. Manager Lake of the Grays thinks Vaughn will be a success in the International League.

President O'Rourke of the Connec- tlcut league put over one of his scorching letters today notifying Manager McCann that he is fined $5 for picking on Umpire Held at Sea Breeze yesterday. This is the regular line provided for every manager who is shooed off the lot. 1t might have gone handler with McCann if Umpire Held hadn't written a generous letter saying it was McCann's first offence. The arbiter also felt kindly disposed toward McCann because the manager dispersed a group of kids who were following the umpire after the game.
