JUMP PULLS CLOCK
 ON MANAGER CROSS
Monte Banished From Game Which Bridgeport Loses To
 League Leaders, 7-1

Manager Monte Cross kicked so strenuously and so long at the Wealth ersfleld avenue grounds at Hartford yesterday that he was chased from the field by Ump Kennedy and fined $10. Then because he did not. leave the field fast enough his umpus pulled his Big Ben. Cross, with visions of the league meeting at Hartford this evening and the reason for the calling Of the spe- ciaI session, skedaddled speedily from the enc1osure. That was the only ex- citement that ruffled a very tame game.
 The game was stopped at the end of the third session because Of a heavy rain. After twenty minutes, play was resumed. Someone iIf the Bridgeport outfit pulled an awful bone in the fourth inning. Batch went to bat and hit safely only to discover when Mc- Gamwell advanced to the plate that he had batted out. of his turn. Batch was declared out and lost the hit. Manager Cross protested the decision and an- knoUnced that heswouId finish the game under protest.
 Ken Tuckey was in there but had nothing that was puzzling to the league leaders. TuclSey is generally so good, once in. a while. On the other hand Roger salmon had loads of stuff and used it to advantage.
 The Hartford Courant says of the game:
 Roger. Salmon twirled the game for Hartford and was never in danger ex- cept for the third inning when sim gles& followed by a forceout, a stolen base and an error gave the visitors one run After that he allowed Bridgeport only two hits,. and those were the only two men to see first base.
