NEW HAVEN WINS,
 ss sss Fl
 POORLY PLAYED GAME AT NEWFIELD
By Wagner


 When the boys play bad ball there is no use in trying to kid the fans so it might as well be stated that yester- days exhibition at Newfieid would grab the first place in the Cheese league. The pitching was bad and the neldlng unsteady. So the New Haven league leaders walked off with the game by z to g.
 The Mechanics have one thing to crow over anyhow They drove Ed Foster off the mound The New Ha- ven hurler who tries to initiate Rube Marquard by bending his head down on one side, has been beating every body and has managed to keep out of the lost column. The boys went right after him in the third. and he devel- oped a wild streak that caused his banishment. Bugs Reisigle replaced Foster and had the locals eating out of his hand.
 Dick Tuckey started on the mound for Bridgeport. He left his speed back home in Union City and the Wings found him pretty easy Chief Snyder replaced him in the fourth and twir1- ed a fine game The visitors would not have scored but for Bob Slows s fumb1es in the ninth
 Frank O'Rourke performed brilliant ly for the locals although he had two excusab1e errors. Red Fisher, who was the hero of Wednesdays proceedings, gathered one hit. Howard Baker made his first appearance but had nothing to do in the field. The score: / Vp--aa

PLAYERS ARE
 STRONG FOR o'DAY
CINCINNATI TEAM DECLARES MANAGER KNOWS HOW TO
 CONDUCT AFFAIRS.

Ask any of the Cincinnati players why Hank ODay. the former Nation al League umpire, has made such 8 success of the Cincinnati team this year and he will quickly put you wise.
 Tn the first place, ODay, although q good fellow, willing. to overlook any minor Offense will not stand for any breaking of the rules set down by him as to conduct on the road or on the field" said one of the players when asked for an expression of opinion. :O'Day has been through the mill He knows ball players and also knows how to handle them.
 This last almost tells why he has been so successful as d manager. His many years experience on the dia- mond as an umpire has served him well. While watching ithe plays he has also been watching the players and in consequence has now a mental note of the peculiarities, failings and good points of every man in the Ma tional League.
 Under these conditions 1t is little wonder that he is able to tell any Of us just what to do when this or that player comes to bat. Thanks to his direction we know just exactly how to handle every player as he comes along.'
 The veteran manager-umpirei is very modest as to his work and also as to the prospects of his. club.
 Umpiring is hafd work" said Hank O'Day while enjoying weed after lunch, but this, ,"-pointing to the rain -.'is one of the things that are liable to send a manager to the funny house. Here We had all our plans laid out as to pitchers. Bfng! Nothing doing"

OLYMPIC TEAM SAILS
 FOR SWEDEN NEXT WEEK

On June 14 the American team of athletes representing ''these United States as the lawyers say, at the Olympic games will sail on the good ship Finland for Stockholm. To-day they will compete for selection at the Eastern tryouts at the Harvard sta dium, and the Western candidates will try out at Northwestern University, Evanston, III. The Pacific coast eii- gibles were selected at tryouts held there two weeks ago.
 Returning from Cambridge on Sun day, the team will spend the last few days as guests of the various large athletic clubs and will be seen in a final exhibition at American League Baseball Park New York on .Wednes day. The carnival will be for the benefit of the Newsboys' Home. It will probably be the greatest track and field meet ever held in this couh- try, as the Eastern athletes competing will be augmented by the Western and Pacific coast squads.

CHASE AND FORD MAY BE
 TRADED FOR WALSH AND FEEDER
Chicago Pitcher Said to be on Bad Terms
 With Manager

. Chicago, H., June S-Big Ed Walsh, regarded by many as the most valu- able pitcher in baseball, is soon to be traded lto the New York Americans with Rollie Zeider, the White Sox first baseman, in 8 deal whereby the local club will get Pitcher Russell Ford and Hal Chase. This is the dec- laration made by baseball experts who refuse to make public the source of their inormation.
 It is known that President Comis- key has been after the New York stars for some time, but he denied that the deal was under way. Neither Walsh nor Fielder was In uniform yesterday afternoon. 1t was announced that the former had drawn five days suspen- sion following an argument with Um- pire O'Loughlin in Thursdays game, while Zeider was said to be suffering from a bruised shoulder as a result

LUTHER M'CARTHY TO
 MEET BOMBARDIER WELLS IN NEW YORK NEXT MONTH


 Luther McCarty, the. twenty year old Western lad who recently knock ed out Carl Morris, arrived in. New York last night from Springfield, Mo-, with Billy McCarty, his manager. He had scarcely hit the city when Billy Gibson of the Garden A. c. offered him a match to fight Bombardier Wells, the English heavyweight cham pion. McCarty consented and Wells, it is said, will accept Gibson's terms. The match is as good as made and the men will box some time in July. McCarty is big white hope, the biggest that has hit New York in many a day. He stands feet 4 inches and when in perfect fighting trim weighs 215 pounds. He did not carry any excess baggage in the, form of fat last night and said he was ready to box anybody on short notice. He has massive frame and power- ful shoulders.

name. of the latest pugilistic mar yer is Hugh McCann, and he halls from Indianapolis. Sam assures me his man is not a false alarm, and to prove it has camped on the trail of Bombad1er Wells manager with the hope of .getting first match. with the English champion in this country. It was the popular impression that Pal ger would box Wells, but AIS cOntro- versy with his former manager has delayed negotiations. Fitzpatrick has handled several of the greatest ,pugil- ists in the history of the sport, among them George Kid), Lavigne, when the latter was lightweight champion of the world, and is not easily deceived in his Judgment of a fighter.
 Tom Jones, director-general of Ad Wolgast's business affairs, is now cha peroning large Albert Kaufman in a laudabfe attempt to 'tcome back" Af- ter taking beatings from Jim Flynn and Al Palzer the opinion was that Kaufman would retire from the game, but the public has another guess com ing: It is not so long ago that Al was regarded as the most hopeful" of the white heavy weights, but lax training methods spoiled whatever chances he may have. had of winning championship laurels. This time Kaufman. has promised to be good ana Jones mas cOuS6Htod to nanOIe him with the understanding that he is to be boss Al may be matched with Uuther Mccarthy at San Francisco the latter part of the current month. He is yet a young man-26 years of age-and no doubt has a lot of good fight left in his system Considering the very ordinary crop of white heav- big end of many a purse, but I'm afraid he was never cut out for champion. s.r "a ssus.4 sirss
 I note with regret that the propos- ed Sam IAngford-Joe Jeannette match has. been called off. The men were smatched to box twenty rounds before Tom McCarey's Los Angeles club the latter part of July, and Lang ford was thought to be on the high seas homeward bound from Austra- lia until McCarey received a cable stating his departure would be de- layed until September
 This match would have attracted the attention of sports the world over. While Sam and Joe have met a num- Der of times, the bouts have always been of shorter duration than twenty rounds. I believe Lahgford was giv- en the decision in fifteen round contest in Boston; the last time the two met was in New York, and the bout was warm one while it lasted, with SannbO having a shade on points. But at the finish Joe was as strong as a bull and fighting hard, while the s'tar baby'' showed signs of weariness.
 Jeannette has ever exhibited a fond- ness Tor the long distance battles; he went forty-nine hard rounds with Sam McVey in. Paris and won with a knockout. Last year he thought he had Sam cornered, but the Boston man beat it for Australia. And now Langford has run .out'' again; it is the best evidence in the world that he has no stomach for a test over the full course with the husky Hobokenite. Jeannette is one of the original hard fuckers in pugilism. He is too good for the average white heavy of the present day and his colored brethren of class, including Johnson and Mo- Vey, will have none of his game

 '"The dates of Friday and Satur- day, June IA and 15. and Monday, June IF, were suggested to France But France has intimated this week her desire to play the match after the championships at Wimbledon-that is to say early in July.

 of collision with Gandil on Thurs- day ss...gs. :. According to those who tell of the deal the only reason for the passing at outs. It is said that Big Ed has resented the managers policy of call- ing upon him so frequently, claiming that the increased work is hurting him. The star has fared badly in his last several appearances on the mound, and many fans have noticed the wordy spats which followed when the man. ager took him out of the game.
 The reason for the denial of the cause the latter feared the anger of the Chicago fans. Commy himself would be averse to releasing the man who did such wonderful work for his club, but he is thought to believe that efforts as long as Callahan is at the helm

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

Manager Frank Chance appears to ba centering all his efforts on strengthening the Cubs for the present campaign without much regard for fu- ture seasons. Leach and Leifield are men playing a good game now but are growing old as athletes and could hardly be considered in reconstruc- tion of the team.
 In Pat Moloney, secured from Brock ton, Mass, Manager Wolverton of the Yankees is said. to have found another not only with a reputation for wonder full speed, but with a. batting average of .412, and if alT this is true he will be welcomed into the Yankee outfield with open arms.
 The Brooklyn fans. are considerably peeved over the showing Manager Bill Dahlen- has made with the Superbas. They claim. that what Brooklyn needs most of all is a manager and the tip has gone out that Ebbets is already casting around for new leader for his team.
 Considerable curiosity exists as to just why Al Mattern was let out to Montreal by the Boston Nationals, Last year everybody wanted the south paw, or at least everybody said so and this year even Boston, hard, pressed for pitchers.sh had no time for him. It is said that an excessive demand in salary was EEte cause of Mattern'S re- lease. > If The was as good as he was touted why did every club waive on him?

But consider Con- nie Mack. He is one of the quiet type and he has won two worlds championships. After all, the um- pire wins all the arguments.
