GRAB FINE VICTORY
 GREAT RALLY
fBy Wagner.)


 John Hancock was a big. 1eaguer in the days when George Washington beat the British out of champion ship, but if John ever saw his name-- sake pitch for Springfield yesterday he would have offered to trade said namesake for Benedict Arnold. Tl1is Springfield Hancock is a determined looking gent. He had Bridgeport on the rocks until the eighth inning when they drove him to cover with voliey of hits. After the Ponies had apparently grabbed the contest In the ninth the Mechanics set lem cheering by piling up two runs and winning by ' to 6.
 Chief Snyder worked for Bridge port and as long as he got away with it there is no sense in banning him. As the old boy said after the game, T don't know what's the matter with me- go in there with all the con- f1dence in the world but I. can't get control.' From the second round until the ninth Snyder's showing was excellent. In the ninth Bridgeport was ahead by to 4 and two of the Ponies were gone. There was nobody on the paths when Snyder. walked Dell for starter. Swander. singled and Guest walked, filling the bases. The Chief got in hole with Miller and had to stick one over. Miller bounded a hit off Snyder's shoulder c1iu TWO runs paLl0reQ lOVGTs LnGn Snyder struck Landgraf out.
 AS Cunningham had batted4 for Hancock in the ninth.- Battling Jack Teller. put Justin in to pitch. AL though the score was 6 to against Brldgeport- the crowd urged the boys to fight it out. Buck Venable got, al hit and Eddie Bridges burned one to center. Chief Snyder bunted., and Landgraf dropped the throw. Honest Red Fish delivered his fourth hit, sending Venable and Bridges home with the, runs that won the old ball game. t,
 Red Fisher, with four hits out of live times up, was the hero for the. locals. Jack Spratt scored four of the seven runs with triple and dou- >ble. Duke Landgraf spoke out of his turn to Umpire Held and was told, to mail check for $5 to President O'Rourke.
 Springfield got two in the first but the Mechanics came back with three. Fisher singled and went. to. third when; sM1llefe threw low on Crooks ground CT. Spratt scored Fisher and Crook with a long triple. Slows sacrifice fly tallied Spratt.
 Meanwhile Springfield had picked up two more so the Mechanics came up Tn the eighth with the score to against them. Fisher tapped for base and Guest. juggled Bakers grounder. Crook popped to Hancock puI Jack Spratt came to time with a. aouplez to right, bringing Fisher and Baker aoyer. Then after taking tho game the locals had to 4go in ana .s1;,, 1t again in the ninth.

PAY $Il,OOO FOR
 CATCHER SCHALK
WHITE SOX GIVE HIGHEST PRICE ON RECORD FOR MILWAUKEE
 BACKSTOP.

Ten thousand dollars for a twenty year-old catcher who was just a green bush leaguer year ago! Charles A. Comiskey, president of the Chicago White Sox, has paid this amount for Schalk, the sensational catcher of the Milwaukee American Association club. Last year Schalk was bench warm or a greater part of the campaign for the Milwaukee club used him in less than thirty games. But early this season Schalk began to catch wonder full ball, with the result that major league scouts Hooked to Milwaukee to league clubs were advised to buy the young catcher, but when the Milwau- kee club was asked to set a price the figures were so high negotiations ceased. The Milwaukee club wanted $15,OO0 in cash.
 Comiskey meanwhile had opened negotiations with the Jersey City club for Catcher Wells, strongly recon mended by another scout, and was ready to pay s6.000 for Wells, when word was received from Sullivan that Schalk could be secured for $10, 900 in cash and several players thrown in
 Comiskey, therefore, lost no time accepting the. Milwaukee clubs terms, and the deal for Schalk was closed, a check for $10,0O0 being turned over without delay. The Jersey City club, however, tried to hold Comiskey on the Wells proposition, it is said, and made an informal appeal to the Ma t1onal Commission for advice. But as Comiskey had not agreed in writing or verbally to pay $6,00O for Wells, Hugh McBreen, part owner of the Skeeters, was notified that he had no legal claim upon the owner of the White Sox and that Wells could be disposed of to any other club willing to pay the price,
 Schalk is the highest priced catch CT ever taken from a minor league. In fact, $10,000 never has been paid for the release of a backstop since Chicago sold Mike Kelly to Boston many years ago. The St. Paul club If the American Association received $22,5O0 from the Pittsburg club last year for Pitcher O'Toole, whose catcher Kelly, was part of the deal.

JERSEY CITY FRANCHISE
 REALLY ON MARKET NOW.

To test the loyalty of the Jersey City fans, Jersey City and Newark played at West Side Park in the for mer city yesterday, and the attend ance was not such as to give the club owners the encouragement they hoped for Less than 4,00O fans paid the increased admission fee, and of these more than half were from Newark.
 Club Owners Lillis and McBreen said they were convinced that there were not enough baseball enthusiasts in Jersey City to make the team pay. They are ready, even anxious, to dis pose of the franchise. s
 It was said after the game that Patrick Powers and Billy Murray, who managed the Skeeters when they won the pennant, have made an offer for the franchise, and that the club owners have it under consideration Whether the club changes hands or not the schedule will be played out in Jersey City.

WHY RUBE VlCKERS BROKE 2 TWO OF SEYMOUR'S RIBS
~ornser HoIyoke Pitcher Was Sore at Joke Played Upon Him By
 old Time Giant.
(Buffalo Enquirer.)

Recently Si Seymour, the ex-Giant, now in Buffalo with McGinnity's New ark bunch and Rube Vickers, the Bal tirr1ore pitcher got into a mix-up in fhe Oriole City and when the affair &9sas over Seymour was suffering from s~ couple of wrenched ribs. Several Hk0rfes as to the fracas were sent out, TMa latest giving Seymour's side of ! ehe case and taken from yesterday s Rochester Times, is as follows:
 Obviously there are two versions to the little clubhouse affair in Balti- more recently, in which Si Seymour EEufYered a broken rib at the hands of Rhbe Eickers, although only one has been made public-and, of course, that one did not reflect on the Rube. Joe McGinnity has the other side, and he told 1t to the writer with a good deal of emphasis.
 It seems that Vickers has opened m thirst studio in Baltimore, which he has named the "Hit and Rum cafe, and it is a sort of headquarters for ball players, like Heinie Batch's oasis here When the Newarks were ih Baltimore recently, Vickers invited the players to visit his place.
 Before going some of the boys matched up a little prank they would ~aay on the Rube. We will wait around" said the leader, ''and when Rube buys a round Of drinks first, We will all drink, and then march out in a body" They went to the place, looked at the pictures on the wall, complimented the owner on his place, but didn't order anything over the mahogany.
 To start the festivities Rube loos- 6ned with this remark. Let's have a little smile on me-" and all the play CTS of the Newark team enjoyed the smile. They winked, formed in line and walked out. And Rube was one mad lad

As result off the trouble at Light house Point yesterday, President O'Rourke has recommended plan which is sure to meet with the ap- proval of local fans. He suggests that the next Hartford-New Haven game at Lighthouse Point be trans ferred to Sea Breeze, and that Bridge port switch its game to Lighthouse. This would prevent any further trou- ble and the change would be wei comed by rooters of both New Haven and Bridgeport.
 President O'Rourke ibIames Umpire Mullaney for the mixup at Light house. He says Pitcher Averett of Hartford should have been fined ana Fernoved from the field by the umpire instead o9 waiting for Chief Cowles to 20 upon the diamond. The Hart ford players were coaching rom the were repeatedly warned by the um- nfre to cut out the noise. They kept macking on Shortstop Fepe. After rhe game Chief Cowles said he would not allow Hartford to play at Light house again this season.
 Unpire Held has reported to Pres fdent ORourke that the crowd en- croached upon the outfield during the ninth inning at Sea Breeze yesterday Neither Springfield nor Bridgeport hit E ball to left during that inning, but nevertheless President O'Rourke has instructed the Bridgeport manage ment to have enough special police men on the field to keep the outfield clear.
 
 Eddie Bridges did some heady catching in the second, even if he did naeke a couple of wild throws during the game. Tn the second Springfield got three passes and two hits but made only one run. F1aherty walked and was caught mapping at first on a quick toes by Bridges. Then Waters strolled and started for third on Han cocks crack to right.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

'I have had no friction with my em- ployer and have been fairly treated by the press and fans in Cincinnati '' says Hank O'Day in an interview in which he announces his determination to stick to the Reds until death do them part. Either Hank doesn't read the papers of he has grown so callous that he doesn't know a knock when he sees one, for the Cincinnati s'bugs,' 2 inside the press box and out of it. have been clamoring for his scalp for some weeks.
 If one cared to wade through all the records-Which one doesn't-it would probably be found that at least two-thirds of the games the Cubs have won from MatheWson in the past ten years have been tossed to them by Matty's supporting, so to speak, cast.
 The Cubs have won six of their last seven games with the Giants, after losing five of their first six.
 There has been a general suspicion throughout the land that, after sew eral years of inferior umpiring, the National League had finally moved ahead of the American in this respect. That is until one Bush was sighted at the Polo Grounds. Just one pair of indicator workers-Brennan and Owens-has made favorable impress sion every time the combination has appeared at the Polo Grounds. And Owens has been on the injured list for several weeks.
 .Rube Benton has done little if any thing lately to justify Cincinnati's early predictions that he would out class even Marquard At the start of the campaign he pitched fair ball with good hitting behind him to help his game along. Since the Reds lost most of the fire and dash that marked their April and May efforts Benton hasn't been a bowling success against the stronger clubs.
