the world, arouses one to anything but
an enthusiastic frame Of mind about
McCarney's marvel. The best thing
that can be shown in regard to Nc
Carly is his coast record of victories
over Palzer and Flynn.
For example, take the line on Nc
Carly through Jess Willard, the six
feet six inches of humanity who beat
McCarty in the opinion OF newspaper
critics and who at least must have been
entitled to a draw. Later Willard fought
Soldier Kearns, who was mere
novice forty pounds lighter than him
self, vastly shy in reach, strength and
height and of even-less pugilistic edu-
cation than himself. Yet Willard
floundered around for five rounds,
smashing his own knuckles and step
ping on his own feet before the contest
was finally stopped.

FRANK CHANCE BEFORE HE SAILED FOB
BERMUDA.
that by getting an early start he will
be able to hold his own with the team.
There is hardly a doubt about Chance
being able to play. He is apparently
In better health than he has ever been
before, and If he is careful in his
training and gets his legs strong he
will not only be of great aid to his
team, but he will prove himself one
of the best guardians of the initial
sack in the league.
If ever a ball player had reasons
for putting forth his best efforts it is
Chsnc He is anxious to prove that
Murphy made a mistake when he let
him out. He wants to disprove all the
things that Murphy charged, and there
Is no better way to do that than TO
make good with the New York team.
/ Of course too much must not be ex-
/ pected from Chance at the outset He
will not have a high grade team to
start with, but he has the ability to
gradually gather a good ball team
around him, and when that condition
prevails he will have a chance to prove
his managerial ability.
Of late there is much discussion over
Hal Chase's ability to play second
base for the New Yorks the coming
season, but the consensus of opinion
among Gotham experts is that If he
does he will be the greatest left hand
ed second baseman in the American
league. Time only can tell whether
Chase can play the bag or not.
There have been few left handed in
felders in the history of baseball, and
for this reason there are those who
doubt Chase's ability to play second
base for the New Yorks.
Back in the early days Philadelphia
had second baseman named Green
wood who threw left handed. He
managed to hold his own, but was not
a real star. Hick Carpenter helped
Cincinnati with the only pennant the
Reds ever COPIED, in 1882, and he play
ed third base, though he was left
handed. Carpenter was steady prop
Osition, but he was not star.
Chase is by far a much better player
than any of those mentioned, and,
while he may be handicapped at sec
Dnd because he throws left handed
ret he stands a chance to make good.
What changes have been wrought in
the great Cub machine of two years
ago. Frank Chance now is manager OF

 and 10 years ago they celebrated the golden anniversary of their wedding. He is survived by his widow and an adopted daughter, widow of his son William who died several years ago. Both reside at the family home, s71 Broad street
 It was as a member Of the park board that MT. Sailer gave the great est service to the city and it is large lyy through his efforts that Bridgeport has such a magnificent series of fine parks. During the later years of his life he was much engaged in the buy ing and seHing of real estate although not making that his business.
 The funeral will be held from his late home Friday afternoon at 5 o'clock, Rev. F. A. Dillingham; con- ducting the services, and a full Knight Temp1ar funeral will be accorded by Hamilton Commandery of which he was a. member.
 There are few men whose loss will be more felt in the city or more gen orally grieved than that of Frederick Sa1ler, and this is especially true to the older generations of Bridgeporters who had been associated with him for years. He was a man of kindly dis position, ever ready to do a kindness and was of the best type of citizen, who although born abroad became in the fullest sense an American.

BALLARD PLANS
 ONE RING CIRCUS
Bridgeport Soon to Be the Home of New Amusement Enter
 prise

If Bridgeport continues to send out circuses as she has been doing for some years past, she will soon become famous as the Circus City, instead of the Park City" A show has just been organized in Bridgeport and is ing here for two days, May 29 and 30, before starting out on tour
 Dewitt Ballard, proprietor of the Royal Hotel, and for years connected with the Barnum shows, the Fore paugh and Sells Brothers and the Buffalo Bill shows, is organizing a cir GUS of his own, which he states will be replica of the Barnum and Bailey show, and just good in every way as the big show except that it will be 8 one-r1ng instead of a, three-ring cir GUS.
 The show will have one "big top,'' 120 by ITO feet in dimension, a 50 foot round top dressing tent, and a 25 to 50 foot side show tent. The big tent will seat 5000 people, there being 300 chair seats, 300 12-inch carpet covered blanks, and the rest, ordinary circus seats
 It will be a fine outfit in every way, with male and female turn Jers and acrobats, clowns, including James Adams from the New York Hippo drome, and everything that goes to make up first class show. He will have a ladies' orchestra composed en- tirely of solo performers and the show on a whole promises to be one of the best one-ring shows on the rad.
 A special train, including a Pull man car, with dining room and all accommodation for s48 people, will carry the show from place to place. The show will play in the cities of 10000. population or thereabouts and MT. Ballard expects to have a most successful season.
