WON BLUE RIBBONS
 BUT LOST SWEETHEART

Washington, May 15---Corpora1 J. F. Heffelfinger, crack rider of the Fifteenth United States Cavalry, did not dream that while he was winning honors and blue ribbons at the recent military horse show he was riding out of the affections of his fancee, Miss Emma V. Griffen, of this city. Post society at Fort Myer had been look ing forward to the wedding as cul- minatfon of a pretty romance begun more than two years ago in San Fran cisco.
 The fact that the arny's crack horseman had come cropper in his riding for the matrimonial hurdle be- came known today when the marriage license that had been issued for the wedding was returned to the city hall with the following inscription in Miss Griffen's hand writing:
 Did not use this. as have a req son."
 Corporal Heffelfinger could not be found at the army post today and rela- lives of the young woman denied all knowledge of the affair. Miss Grif- fen was said to have quietly left the city.

ReiIIy's Timely Hit Gives Victory
 in II Inning Game

to0K Il nerve-rack1ng innings and \. Hmely single by John Sylvester EsaiIIy for Yale to continue it's win Ss1ng stride in the game with Dart Eacuth at New Haven yesterday, won by a to count With the game presumably bagEed by Quimby's ath- letes, the visiting crew knotted the count in the. sixth, and some tight fielding and good pitching carried t to the eleventh before a run could un- do it.
 ResIly's smash was very timely one. The big Brockton citizen had become reconcf1ed to the fact that darkness might set in before he ap- peared at the plate again. And he didn't falter. After looking over a couple, the Elis' third sacEzer picked on the third one, which sailed over second base, and Scnorield trotted in from Station No 8 with the winning tally Reilly did other things that contributed greatly to Ya1e's four teenth straight victory He was Ter gaIly at bat five times, and marked up a hit on each attempt, one o% which went for two bases. besides playing a grand defensive game
 The final score adequately describes the differences in the relative perform ances of the teams Both hines fought a grand battle from start to finish. with the Dartmouth aggrega- tior dfsp1ay1ng far better form than was to be expected Scott and Brown pitched for Yale and Mercy for Dart mouth.

DELAYED SQUEEZE
 WORKED BY MAPS
(sporting News.9

The Cleveland Maps have the pen nant bee proper and spend all their spare time buzzing about how they have beaten or are going to beat oth- CT aspirants with new and brainy plays The Maps will forego a pie ture show any night to hold a session on a new idea and the funny thing about them is they don't seem to think it worth while to keep any of their stuff, under cover. They tell about their inside ball in open meet ing and still expect to put it over.
 For instance, there is what Bir- hinghan calls his delayed squeeze" Manager Birmingham is it's inventor and some folk may laugh at him when he talks of it as really a wise play, but Birny has included it regularly in the list of surprise plays on the Nap repertoire.
 Birmy has worked four squeezes this year when he himself was at the bat, three with Joe Jackson on third and one with Chapman there. Every one has scored the man and two have been of the delayed variety.
 In the squeeze play, as originally devised, the runner on third starts as soon as the pitcher begins to wind up and the batter tries to bunt- But the pitcher often guesses what's up and pitches out so the batter can't possibly hit, and the runner is made to LOOK IOOA1Bh by D01nB caught SLI the plate in an apparent effort to steal home.l
 BirTny is perfecting plan whereby the runner does not start until he sees the batter about to make the effort at the ball. That gives a. flying start and insures the batsman of a good chance to make connectons. Incident ally, the pitcher or batsman handling the ball often figures he has a chance to catch the runner at the plate and thereby allows batsman as well as runner to arrive safely at his dest1n- ation.
 Then Birmingham has another play prepared especially, he says for thick skulIed first sackers. Larry Lajoie and Birmingham picked Borton, the Chicago first baseman, to be just such a player as Claude Rossrnan, former Tiger, used to be and plucked an old play that they had used successfully on him back in 1908 for use on Borton and it worked.
 Back in 1908 the Maps spent a week on the southern training trip practis- ing up a. double steal for Rossrnan. When the season opened they had to wait until the fourth game of the first Nap-Tiger series before they had men on first and third and a chance to pull the play.
 It worked perfectly.
 The man on first took a. long lead off the bag and purposely attracted the pitchers attention. Of course the pitcher threw to first
 The idea was that Rossrnan would spend a lot of time trying to run down the man off first and the man on third would score. Claude never fail ed the Maps on this day. He always could be depended upon to chase the man going toward second until the run came in-
 Birny and Larry Rossmaned Bor- ton of the Sox once already this sea- son. The first baseman tried to run down Bir1ny and Nap counted.

POLO PONIES OF
 ENGLISH TEAM ARE
 GREATLY ADMIRED

Now that the English polo players and their ponies are safe on our sllores, the last stages of the prepara- tfous for the international cup con test at Meadow Brook Long Island, June 10 and 14 have been reached. The Engfishmen are making their headorarters at the Piping Rock C1ubs while the Americans are at Meadow Brook. From now on some stirring practice games will be seen every day at one or other of the camps.
 The English ponies have not been here long enough yet for the native experts to have had time to thorough iy size them up, but from what little has been seen of them they are ob- viously a wonderful string. This Eaton stud is made up of ponies that are remarkable examples of English 0ony breeding. A member of the Piping Rock Club who looked over the ponies yesterday observed that there was a great similarity between the Duke of WeSdninsters pon1e5s Energy, Harkaway, Pole Star and Kilkenny, and the old time English race horses Like causes produce like efrects and the thoroughbred or Arab and pony blood produce now, as they did then, these fine sorts of small horses.
 AS vet the Americans have not the same resources as the English, nor, ex- cept in a very few remarkable cases are the ponies in the United States equal to the English and Irish. The EuRIfs4a are at an advantage, inas- much as they have wide market for they supply the Continent of Flu rope with polo ponies and the whole world with pony stallions. Thus they have every 1nducement to produce small horses of the right type.

OFFICIAL FIGURE
 GOES TO JOHNSON
American League Statistician Re- ports Whites Record Doesn't Equal Washington Stars

Chicago. May 15.-L M. Howe, of hcia1 statistician of the American League, gave out figures yesterday showing that Doe White of the Chi cago White Sool does not hold the rec ord for consecutive scorelssg innings. as had been published recently. Howe could not tell offhand whether any one else had done better than Walter Johnson of Washington, but said it Co probable Johnson already has passed the record with his hfty-six gcOreleG8 innings pitched to date.
 Investigation yesterday revealed that on September g, 1904. Cleveland scored three runs off White, although Chicago won the game, to 8. The final Cleveland run was made in the mining inning of that game. and there after, for five games and one inning of the sixth, White did not allow a run.
 Johnson's record is unofficia1Iy said to have been outdone by Coombs Of the Athletics in 1910, when Coombs pitched fifty three and third conse- custive iscoreless innings, Howe said he would go through the official scores to ascertain Coombs' record and com pare 1t with JOhnson's figures.

WHITEWASH FOR
 MECHANICS IN NEW LONDON GAME
cNew London Telegraph.>


 Gene McCann's Bridgeport Mechan- ics had a hard row to hoe at the Plantation yesterday afternoon to ge. back the game New London took away from them on Tuesday-and they never did get it hoed. They lost 4 to O.
 Ehere were just nine reasons why Bridgeport didn't score, but the prin- ctpa1 reasons name is AbercT~oInbie. Though Bridgeport used two pitch CTS, 1t wasn't because either of them was a lemon. Sager, who started the game, went through four innings and was only removed to make way for Snyder'S magic bat. Blum who sI1c- ceeded, got about the same dose, New London scoring two runs off four wal lops during his session, which was just what had happened to Sager. The break came in the fourth, when Catterson, who has been sticking in rotten luck, got a clean one past sec ond. Sager nailed Briggs sharp grounder and Stow made one of his la11apaloosa plays on Rocks spinning bounder. With two gone, Johnson took a wheel off Sager with a. hot hit that s7zated past second, scoring Cat terEon, who had moved a. peg on each of the two outs. Johnson was on his way when Ostrich sqnacked drive in to left for two sacks, and the second baseman had no trouble scoring on the hit.
 Up to the fifth inning only 12 Bridgeport batsmen had reported at the plate land two were gone in the fifth when things began to happen. Stow started the trouble by drawing a pass and Sflzer dropped a curly one back of k Johnson Ostrich f1rnbled Rq1sselI's ground ball and there was a hand on every corner. It was then that McGamwe1I sent in Snyder to save the day; and it was then that Abercrombie showed there was noth- ing Of the kid pitcher about him In as classy a bit of twirling as comes off in a season, he got Snyder tangled up and fanned him on a curved ball right at the bat handle. So that scare was over.
 Blum went in, and not a Planter reached first in the fifth In the sixth, though, it was different. Catterson was gone on a, pop to Blum, when Briggs got his jumbo wallop. It was a lovely thing, away out into far left center that sent Si1zers and Wal1ace's legs going like the spoles of a motor cycle Bowman took the relay, but threw high to Bou1tes as Briggs was beating 1t for third, and. when the ball got away from Jalies Joe pedeied along home, as busy as bug Rock went out on a long foul fly to SifSer, but Johnson drew a walk, and stole second and came home on Ostrich's s second double.

 It was anything but a hair-raising affair.

Mccoy did much better than most of Ahearn's s recent antagonists. At the end neither boy was damaged. They both weighed 146 pounds at the ringside.

Playing the Planters is no business. E Pitcher Abercrombie was too much for the Mechanics. That bird is one of the best pitchers in the league and will bother any of them.
 The Mechanics played to good week day crowds in New London. The fans there are giving the team fine sup port.
 Bob Stow played brilliantly and the New London Day says of his work: Bobby Stow is the fastest base run ner seen here this year. His fielding IS Ia big show and he may be seen kicking the dust in the American or National some day.
 SiIzer and Russell managed to get a hit each but Dusty Phillips couldn't touch Abercrombie for his daily wal 1op- They have to be pretty foxy when Phillips can't tap them.
 Rube Sager hasn't had much luck since he dislocated his rib. His last two starts have been poor. On the other hand Tuckey and Snyder have shown great improvement in their last two games.
 The Mechanics will play in Hartford COI1OTTOW ana 0dCOIOay DuG IeEQIn here Sunday for a game with Pitts field. It will be the frst appearance here of Zel1er's men.
 The Boston Nationals have sent Outfe1der Jay Kirke to Toledo of the American Association. Briscoe Lord, the man secured from Baltimore, will replace Kirke with the Boston team.
 Kenneth Nash, the old Brown uni versity infielder, has joined Water bury. Sam Kennedy got him from Toledo. He played third yesterday against Hartford but didn't get hit. If he makes good Howie Baker of this city, who has been playing third for Waterbury, will be released. Baker doesn't cover enough ground to suit Kennedy.
 Announcement was made today that the University of California track team will participate in the Intercol- Iegiate Athletic association meet at Harvard and will stop on it's return journey at Madison, Wis, to take part in the Western conference contests. The Madison meet will be held June 7, one week later than the Harvard event.
