Phnadelphfa, July Lone of the most cOwardly assaults on a fellow ball player was made on Manager McGraw yesterday afternoon by Pitcher Addi- son Brennan at the close of the hot test ten-innfng game of the season, when the Giants defeated the Phi1lies. n to 10, and thereby secured the first place
 Despite the cIoseness of the game both teams held themselves in check until after the game was over and then the storm broke McGraw was walking across the field with arms locked with Captain Mike Doolan of the Philies While engaged in con- versatfon with Doolan Brennan came up from behind and dealt AcGraw such a blow with q baseball in his hand that the little manager was fell cd to the ground z

 As the case involved claims of rival ana5or league clubs. Chairman Herr enann was called upon to decide the Issue without the aid of his associates. kze found that the Chicago Americans had a priority claim. because the player on January 21 Of this year ac- serfe5 White Sox terms in writing, as follows
 --I agree to play baseball with the White Sox Chicago American League Baseball club at a salary of two thousand (&2,O00l dollars per year The rnrerofnG contract to take effect at the conclusion of my college work.

the assault
 From those who saw the attack, al- though it was growing dark, it was said that Brennan deliberately waited to hit McGraw from behind. After he had been treated for his injuries Mo Graw said: f'The more l think of it, the more it looks like a franne-up. hate to think that Doolan would be a party to such a, trick, but the conver- sation we had and the way we were walking makes 1t look as though the PhiIlies had determined to get me"
 When asked if he had had any words during the game Mac smiled and said: ''Only once, and that was when I was coaching near third in the latter part of the game; and then I did not ad- dress any player in particular. When Shafer came to bat in the seventh and Knabe erred I said, Well, Brooklyn may win the pennant, but this team never will; they're a. skyrocket team and all the players laughed"
 After McGraw was kicked all the players on the Philadelphia team ran to the clubhouse and Doolan profess ed anger at the attack, but NIcGraw would not go to the clubhouse then, but went outside the grounds and came down town with several of the newspaper men who were accompany ing the team.
 None of the Phillies would talk about the affair. None of them would say that they saw Doolan and Mo Graw on the field and DooIan himself was not to be found after dinner. Brennan claims McGraw used bad language toward him during the game.

FREDDY WELSH WILL
 FINALLY GET HIS CHANGE
CBy T. s. Andrews.)


 For three years Freddy Welsh, the British lightweight champion, has been trying to get on a cf1ampiDnshdp match in this country, but without success In 1910 he came over here and tried to match up with Battling Nelson and then Ad Wo1gast, but nev- CT succeeded in getting near his goal until 1911, when he was matched with Wolgast at Los Angeles The illness of Wolgast at the eleventh hour pre- vented the contest and Willie Ritchis was substituted. Welsh winning the bout on points
 Then came the match between Ritchie and Wo1gast for the title and Willie won it. Welsh, unable to get on title match here, returned to England to try and wipe out the de- feat he suffered at the hands of Matt Wells for the British title. Freddy finally got his rival into another match, and on November II, 1912, he turned the tables. defeating Wells La ter he defeated Hughie Mehegan. tho Australian, and thereby won the lightweight championship of Europe and Australia
 With the titIe of two countries at his belt Freddy returned to the States and once more began a campaign for a title match and this time it looks as though he will succeed, for from reports received by the writer he will meet Ritchie in a worlds champion ship at a point near Vanvouver. B. C. Labor Day. It will be the first real international match of the kind since Kid Lavigne fought in England some years ago. Of course this all depends upon Ritchie winning from Rivers at Frisco, July 4th.
 The scene of the encounter will be at Brighouse, about eight miles out of Vancouver, and the arena will seat over 1000 people. The match is as good as made now; it all depends upon the outcome of the big holiday bout ThA weight will in all prob- ability be 135 pounds, which will suit both nicely, although Welsh can make 133 without any bother.
 If the boys do come together it will be a contest worth seeing, for each has different style of boxing. which means that a good bout will result Welsh has more c1everness than Ritchie, while the latter is the more aggressive and stronger-tf1e proper combination to bring about a cracker jack of g. battle It will also decide once and for all time the worlds champion in the lightweight class.

 Sinister Sam Mclean ought to be at Gettysburg with the rest of the vet erans. Instead of that he hobbies out on his crutches at Newfield park and shows up youngsters like Vandy Vandegrift. After a long afternoon s work Sam tottered off the field with a Bridgeport scalp hanging to his hair. The score was Waterbury 8; Bridge port 1.
 But during the afternoon Dame For tune gave Monte Cross the double cross. No matter what Bridgeport tried it went wrong. In the fifth Sil- ger led off with a double but Rober- taiIle in attempting to bunt, popped to Edmonson and Silzer was doubled. Vandegrift got a pass in the fourth and was picked off first
 Quincy Adams continued to amaze the populace by his first base play. Tn the seventh when Nash hit hard grounder to Bowman the second base man made a wide throw to Adams The youngster threw himself sideways on the ground and made the putout. He also peeled off 8 three bagger In the seventh. Promo Silzer obliged with a two bagger and one bagger' and Steamer Flanagan came through with the same combination. Steamer also stole a base.
 Waterbury picked up runs in the first and third. Robertaflle's sacrifice and Bownan's tap for a bose. Elan aean started with a double in the ninth but nobody could bring him ln' In the eighth Russell batted for Ro- bertai1Ie. He went out as did the next two.

 Holden is batting for 1881 and field ing for 1928 in Il games. It looks like a sure candidate for the big show next season. His work in the suburbs is nothing short of wonderful, and he covers more ground than any other genterielder in the league With Nea- lon and Dell he forms a combination that is nearly airtight, and the three have been the means Of choking off many a rally before it was fairly started.

MACK STARTED FARMING SYSTEM
 IN BIG LEAGUES

Connie Mack is the styIe-maloer on the diamond, the Redfern of baseball. It was Mack who, competing against odds that could be overcome in no other way, came forward with the sys- tenn of getting players on his string and keeping them there, although they had no previous work in the bet ter class of minor leagues.
 Now the other clubs have realized that Mack has the right system. At first Mack was scoffed at when he took up a lot of boys who were not trained in professional baseball. He said he would make ball players out of them. The wise ones shook their heads and winked at each other. How Mack came through with the proposf- ton is known to every fan in the country.
 Since that time the clubs of both the American and National Ieaguss have slowly come around to the Mack viewpoint of training ball players To start them right is Macl's methody The trouble is, many managers get players who already think they know the game This means that while they apparently pay attention to what the leader is telling them, they do not improve style.

 Sam Kennedy. the scrappy Water bury manager. believes the game would be more exciting if men were al- lowed to coach before there were run ners on the bags and if the manager is allowed to coach his men from bench by Umpire Lanigan yesterday but he had a. long talk with President ORourke this morning.
 The president thought it would do no harm to have the manager talk, providing the other players keep still. Sam promised to keep the rest of the bunch quiet and the baseball writ CTS who were present witnessed the agreement. Umpires will be instruct ed to allow the managers to talk from the bench so long as they condne their remarks to their own men.
 The league executive will get a statement from the New Haven club regarding the situation at Savin Rock last Saturday when Foster was allow ed to advance after Miller had been declared out for being hit by a batted ball.

He was allowed to remain on third by Umpire Bedford, however, and afterward scored. No decision will be given until New Ha- ven has filed a statement

High School Play .
Was a Big Success

the star actors His handling of the
part of Philip Boyson, was excellent
1t is feared that he will take up the
stage as a profession.
One of the best acted parts OF
the program was that of jenkins, the
butler, as played by Clyde Heiden-
ger. Clyde was certainly at home
on the stage and he made it a part
that carried lots of fun and go.
Belle Mcmillan, who took the part
OF Marian Bryant, was most charm
ing and her share of the success
came in the rendition of this part.
Robert Brown, as handled by
Chas. Sommer, the invalid, was
study, as he handled his part like
real sick boy. 1t was very clever
and helped make the evenings fun.
In all the play last night was
success, while the slides shown
from the new projection lantern
shows the class of work that the
new instrument will produce. The
class play and the evening was most
thoroughly enjoyed.
