Chief Snyder Fined for Kicking In Game-CrOssmen
 Lost
(New Haven Journal-courier.)

E Jerry Councils patented shachine raced rough shod over the Bridgeport crew and left it in befudd1ed heap at the Prairie yesterday afternoon. Booth Hopper did the steering, and aided and abetted by his fellow coun- trymen, the invaders chances of win ming were out of the question. It was a good game to watch and was witnessed by a fair Monday crowd.
 Final figures, New Haven 2, Bridge port 0.
 E Hopper was the center of attrac- tion. In the second round he came to bat with Nagle on first and was presented with a $50 check for hit ting the animal sign in left field a few weeks ago. He responded with a screaming single to centre.
 Chick RobertailIe opposed the Champions and was nicked for eight drives in seven innings He proved and retired to make way for a pinch% hitter in the eighth.
 Chief Snyder did the pinch hitting g with two on and as many out. Hop per merely put on more stuff and Snyder famed. He became peeved at for which he suffered a five dollar fine and the gate. Blum pitched in the eighth and held the locals scoreless. A, running catch by Batch featured c Bridgeport's work in the field.
 Kerr led. off the second round with a hit through the box. Miller force1 Kerr at second and Nagle followed by forcing Miller. Hopper had two strikes. and then planted a, single Tn center, Nagle. taking third on the hit. Sherwood had<the punch and scored Nagle with a single to center.

JOHNSON HAS SOMETHING
 ON BIG LEAGUE STARS.

- rse
 If Walter Johnson were pitching against a team made up of the 10 star batsmen of the American league, in short order their brilliancy as stars wou16A soon be dimmed. If these ten fence busters faced pitcher who could deceive them as does Messrs. Wood, Falkenberg and Johnson, and they fed on a steady diet of such stuff as the above mentioned gentlemen hand out to them, these heavy swatsnaen would be reduced to the ranks of the ordi- nary.
 Just three out of the 10 have batted 300 or over against Johnson. Jack son, Speaker and Crawford were the men who gave the great Walter as good as he sent. And four out of the bunch batted 300 Or better against the seasoned star pitcher of the Amer ican league.
 While Johnson, FaIkenberg and Joe Wood have proved enigmas to the select 10 who are well within the glory circle, the other three-Plank, Bender and Gregg"have failed to stop the great batters with any degree of success. In fact, most of them have fattened their batting averages when facing the two left-handers and the Big Chief.
 But the star pitchers of the Ath- 1etics have been toothsome morsels to the leading swatters. Bender's deliV- cry has been naaltreated to the extent of Is clean hits in A times at bat by the big guns of Ban Johnson's circuit, which would give a batting average against the Chief of .409. The mighty Plank well seasoned curves suffered to the extent of 20 hits in the 48 times he has faced the hardest hitters in the league.
 The 10 leaders have made one-thfrd of the hits registered against Plank and Albert c. So it will be seen that the other 100 Sor more batsmen who compose the roster of the American league had little or no chance with the Athletic duo.
 The dope given here reveals some peculiar phases of the batting and pitching game. Collins must be a terror to- all recruits and ordinary pitchers, for he has a batting average of only I5O against the six pitchers herein named. Speaker is the cham pion in the total averages against the selects, followed by. sedate and steady Samuel Crawford.
 In the 9s games the cream of the i hitters faced Walter Johnson they ma amazed ito fail out a pa1try 22 hits, a batting average of .222 against the man from Kansas. F'a1kenberg, the skyscraper of the league, displayed great skill when facing Speaker, Col lins, ct al, the resurrectedz one more than holding his own, and the heavy | artillerymen registered only a batting percentage of .285 against his deIiv- cry. Just three out of the 10 could do anything with the stuff that Smoky Joseph Wood hands out, although the 1 top-notchers haven't had the pleasure | of facing MT. Wood, of Boston, very often.

There may be many who will crit rize Willie Ritchie for taking on an unknown ighter in the person of Ed die Moy, training partner of Fred dy Welsh, for the Sept date at Vancouver, B. C., so as to give the British champion time to get in shape for his match with the champion of Inc U. g. A. later on, probably Sept. 20 cut there is no occasion for it. It Is simply an unfortunate occurrence that has prevented the Vancouver 1-r...noters from g sing through with whau. would have been great match fer them and Ritchiez has done the rsrhr thing by them in remaining surely I.e has that righ-- The loSi- cal match for Ritchie is with Freddy Welsh. for the latter holds the nsht- v eight title of Great Britain. and un- til the American champion defeats the same Welsh he has no right to claim the worlds championship. There fore he is wise in taking on Welsh first, <or if he can defeat the clever Brit on he will then have a. clear title to fhe international honor. which sev- seraI light weights before him did not have Ritchie should defeat Moy without trouble, for the latter, from all reports, does not class with the California lightweight, and it will battle with Welsh Willie will also have the edge the British cham pion, being considered younger and with double the experience as when he met him under handicap at Los Angeles, Nov 30, 1911. It might be remarked. too, that the Vancouver Hportsmen coPped the biggest plum in The lightweight matches at this time, it heinz a real international affair. Welsh, being a British subject, will have plenty of backing among the Ca Indians and if Willie is betting man he can get all kinds of bets in the h1lstlsEsz city of Vancouver.
