 TO BROOKLYN IS OFF
President Ebbets Had Been Negotiating For Local Short Stop--Bobby Will
 Yet Be Sold

Ot OS
 The three cornered deal pulled off by Brooklyn, Toronto and Newark yesterday bears local interest as by it, Bobby Stow lost a chance to go to the Dodgers. It had been all fixed up by Manager Cross to sell Stow to Proxy Ebbets but the local manager was in formed by telegraph this morning that the deal was off. due to the trading yesterday: Stow. is, however, likely to be sold as Manager Cross has sew eral othef irons in the fire. H
 According to President ~O'Rourke Manager Cross pulled a new one in baseball today when he declared to him that Umpire Kennedy was right yesterday when he, Kennedy, removed him, (Cross) from the game for argu- ing. According to Cross Kennedy should have put him out of the game before he did. He's the first man ever banished from the game that I know of that ever admitted that the umpire was right in making the de- ctsion, said President O'Rourke.
 Bridgeport plays Waterbury here tomorrow. Last time. here Pitcher Boardnan shut out the crossmen. 1 The Crossmen will have to trim. Meriden today if they want to remain in third position, that is providing l Waterbury bests the Champs But two points separate the two clubs.
 Brooklyn has purchased outheIder. Steps Finn from the Rochester club. Finn was formerly with the l Highlanders.i He was on his way to Gene McCann here at one time but
 the Highlanders decided to~ send an- | 0f Ia ; x 5 l Point by point the Athletics are los I ing ground. The big lead they had l several weeks ago has now almost
 shrunk to nothing. But five and one
 half games separate the club from
 the Maps. The three out of the four games the Maps took from Mack's
 maulers tells the story.

 order at 8 o'clock. Owner Sam Ken
 nedy- of the Waterbury crowd will fur 1 nish the fireworks. Kennedy. has con tended right along that Ump Kennedy l went too far when he forfeited the
 recent Merfden- Waterbury contest to | the former. His side of the case will be presented to the moguls, who a1- I ready have the ump's version. Owner Carey. of. the Ponies also intends to be heard from. He has a kick against the umpe in general.
 r Chief Robertaille has a record for
 the league if not for the country. In the last 12 games he has issued but
 four passes, which is some control. } Word comes efrom New London that Gene McCann has completed a deal } with Owner Farrell of the New York Americans by which he will sell Out fielder will Holden of his club to the
 Yankees Holden will report at the end of the present league season Tom Crook might not be nurdering the ball for Albany but he is hitting timely.

"Red" Waller has departed for Dem : yer for his health The passing oi : waller marks the exit of one of. the best pitchers ever to perform in these parts and one who was destined tc l better things if he only behaved. Wall . CT performed his best work in Bridge 5 port from whence he went to the New s York Giants. He was turned back I from the big show and drifted 1ntc : this league. Under McCann he per 9 formed well but was unreliable. Ht 2 Twas sent to Lynn where he again wal 8 m to his old tricks.
