Never before in the history Of the
annual ChautauQua assemblies con-
Quoted by Bridgeport Pastors asso-
citation has there been such q demand
for reserved seats as took place yes
terday in the First Methodist church
when assignments for the fourth an
nual assembly mere made, the assem-
bly, due to begin Monday night in the
First Methodist and South Congrega-
tionaI churches and continue through
Thursday night. At one time there
were ITO waiting their turn.
The new plan of assigning the seats
by giving each caller a number and
having them wait their turn worked
excellent1y and the confusion and
crowding Of former years were absent.
Many fa,vorablaf comments were heard
concerning the efficiency of the plan
and the harmony prevailing. Also
many words of commentator con-
cerning4 the strength of the program
as a. whole and the prominence of the
entertainers,
There are a. few reserved seats still
left and these have been placed at
Jackson's bookstore with charts OF
both churches. The seats will be
continued on sale until the opening of
the assembly but it will be well to
call soon as they are going fast.

JOHNSON AND JACK
 HEATING WIN BOUTS

John Lester Johnson knocked out Fighting Bob'' Lee in the third round and Jack Heating of the U. S. Navy stopped George Gall, who claims to be the ex-chaInpion heavyweight of the army. in the fourth round of the star bouts scheduled for ten rounds last night at the Atlantic Garden A. C., New York
 The last named contest, staged as the feature event, resulted in a rather disappointing way, as the ex-so1dier entered the ring with excess fat and gave evidence of not being in condi- ton. After taking a pounding and never once landing a telling blow in return. his seconds, to save him fur ther punishment, threw up the sponge in the fourth round. He weighed 211 pounds against 187 for Keating, and from the very outset Heating had the upper hand.
 Tn the first ten-round session John son kept up a steady attack on Lee. and in the third round a weIl-direeted right to the point of the jaw put him down for the count

At the pres ent time Hug,hie Mehegan, the Austra- Han champion is home. having re- turned from England and Matt Wells, the former British champion who lost a point decision to Freddie Welsh. has just landed on Australian shores. Pal Brown, the clever Minnesota light weight, who sailed last Tuesday for Kangarooland. will not be the only late arrival, for Owen Moran, the British 13o pounder, who fought and defeated Battling Nelson, later losing to Ad WoIgast, will have sailed from the port of Liverpool about the same time Brown left and they will land about the same time. In addition there are other clever 1ightweights in Australia, among them Herb Mccoy, Ali. Mercy, Joe Russell, Ali. Spence ley and Frank Picato, the American Italian of California. Pal Brown will have some tough men to meet in Mo Coy, Russell; Wells and Mehegan, but the Minnesota boy is chuck full of COI4AOCaCe 6141d SINO account of himself.

GREAT WORK BY CROSSMEN
 DEFEATS FAST HARTFORD TEAM
RobertaiIIe Pitches Well And MGamWeII
 And Bowman Bat Heavily

The great pitching of Robertaflle and fine fielding enabled Bridgeport to down Hartford yesterday in Hartford by to O. The Hartford Courant says of the battle.
 Just when the Senators were going at, top notch speed and were hoping against hope to cut down the lead of the White Wings to less thanN three games before their meeting tomorrow, cog in the machinery slipped ana they were handed g. 3 to defeat by the Bridgeport aggregation yesterday afternoon at Wethersf1eld avenue grounds From the score it would look as if Manager Cross and his clan had it all their own way, but the actual game was far different than the bare scbre shows, and it was only by the narrowest margins that Bridgeport got away with a win.
 Fred Rieger tWirled for Hartford and had his first defeat cha1ked up against him. He was hit hard by the Bridgeport batsmen at times and two of the runs that came in were clean scores, though the tally sent across in the ninth was due in a great measure to Morleye error and a bit of slow work in the inheld.
 RobertaiIIe was on the mound for the visitors and he was hit hards but it was one of those day when the harder the Senators hit the ball the

Time and again long, low flies were smashed into the outfeld that under ordinary circumstances would go for at least one base, but yesterday they went straight into the hands of the Bridge port outdeId for easy outs. Three times at least Bowman raced for balls that gave every evidence of being headed straight across the second sack. only to have them take a lucky bound and swerve to meet him, 1nak- ing it an easy matter for him to toss out the runner at the initial sack. Tn fact, every time when Hartford seemed to have a chance to even up the score. the luck broke against them, or Bridgeport would pull off a bit of sen sationa1 fielding and keep Robertafl1e out of difficulty.
 Hartford, at that, had some chances to tally, but lacked the step to count. Twice runners were put out at the home plate by inches and if one or

N. Y. YACHT CLUB
 HAS 86 IN CRUISE

New London, Aug. GA fleet of s6 yachts, all flying the "red cross on the blue bHrgee of the New York Yacht Club put to sea today, for the coast with Newport as the destination of the days run.
 The fleet was about equally divided between sail and steam or gasoline and while the canvas craft section was again closely split between one and two stickers, there was a pronounced preponderance of modern gasoline boats over ancient steam craft in the power division.
 The Iistless conditions, however, of the morning gave many of the yachts men chance to chat over the meet ing, last night, on the flagship Sea Fox, which was attended by nearly four score captains and at which there were some interesting developments.
 After, Secretary George A. Cormack had called the roll, Commodore Del1as Bache Pratt formally welcomed the blue coated slippers and explained some of the minor details of the cruise. He urged the power division to keep a weather eye on the sailing fleet in the run around Cape Cod on Monday and to lend the tow line if occasion required. He also referred to the loss sustained by Vice-Commo- dore George F. Baker, Jr., and the
 
 sen of that flag officer. The absence of Vice-Commodore Baker was great Iy regretted as he was the principal prom moter of the new knookaboslt fleet of 90 foot sloops.
 It developed at the meeting that of eight of the 50 footers left in the fleet after the retirement of the venture. five will make the run around the cape to Marblehead and will enter for the special race arranged by the East ern Yacht Club on August Is and for which Captain s. Reed Anth ony, of Boston, has contributed some hand some pieces of old silver.
 It also appeared that the well known class of P sloops, made up this year of the Stranger. Josephine, Wind ward, Joyant, and Corinthian are planning to keep on from Newport, tomorrow, and sail a team race with the Marblehead representatives of the class, probably on Saturday.
 The commodore announced that the fleet would illuminate at Newport on August 8, the night of the Kings cup race, and that the rowing races for the Owl and Gamecock co1ors@wou1d be held in Vineyard Haven on Sunday forenoon.

 Bridgeport rushed into the lead in the opening inning Stow doubled to left, Hoffman not being able to reach the pill. and he scored a moment later on Bowmanss single to center, the lat ter taking second when Barney let the ball get by him.
