DR. HALL WINS FROM
 HAVVLEY IN TENNIS MATCH

pr. R. Warren Hall, champion of the Y. M. C. A. Tennis club played true to form in beating F.. B. Hawley in two stirring sets at the Seaside courts of the Y. M. C. A. club. The score was 6-1. 6-4. 2At>'
 A surprise was sprung when pr. w. Weadon put William Seabrfdge out of the tournament. The handicappers made Seabridge owe Dr. Weadon 15 but it was thought he would win the match but pr. Weadon upset the cal culations and walked off with two sets. It was true that Seabridge's fine fore hand drives were taking somewhat of a vacation but due credit must be given Weadon for he played a fine match.
 w. F. Davenport eliminated Ernest Winter burn to the tune of 6-1, 6-1, but this was a better match than the score would indicate and again it did Winterburn much credit for he is a new player and one of a fine lot of young players with possibilities of will before long give the old timers a rub.
 J.D. Brock next took the court with Harold Clarke and scored 6-1, 6-2 against him. But Clarke did mighty well for this is his first tennis season and his first match.
 Next week the draw brings together Waldo Grumman and Edgar Haw1ey, pr. Budau and Adam Hugo, W. E. Davenport and Earl Christie, Dr. Weadon and Dr. R. Warren Hall while Dr. R. H. w. Strang plays the winner of the Budau-Hugo match and W. S. Lacy plays the winner of the Davenport-Christie match. In spite of the fact that the Y. M. c. A. club has added three courts they were used Saturday in relays and the interest and popularity seems to increase almost daily.

JOE JEANNETTE TO
 FIGHT TOMORROW
Will Take on Johnson from South
 America-NOt Jack

For this week the centre of attrac- tion in the fight game will be the bouts arranged for tomorrow night at the Atlantic. Garden, New York. Joe Jeanette, the Hoboken negro who ranks high in the heavyweight divi- sion, but who cannot obtain any matches in this vicinity with the good white hopes on account of his color, will make his re-appearance after a long lay-off. Jeannette will hook up with one lawn Lester Johnson, South American negro with a. good string of victories to his credit.
 When lawn meets Joe tomorrow the fans may have to exclaim: Poor Jawn!' The reason is obvious. Jean nette is one of the hardest hitting heavyWeights in the business, and in all his recent bouts either he has stopped his opponent in jiffy by the knockout route, or so far has .outc1ass- ed his rival for pugilistic honors that the referee interceded to put an .end to the milling
 Jeanette is slated to start soon for Paris with his manager, Dan McKet- trick, and although he says he is not in any hurry to depart, the big Ho- boken scrapper may not like to see the fans swelter through ten rounds of boxing and probably will decide to do the same to Johnson as he has done with other rivals-make a quick finish of the job. In that event, Joe simply will be doing what his admir- CTS expect to be theE outcome of to- morrow's mill

PLAYER GETS TO FIRST
 ON THREE PITCHED BALLS

A new one in baseball was pulled the other day in Detroit when P1pp, the Tiger recruit first ba seman, who has been sent to Providence, was gfv- en a pass and only three balls pitch ed. It was the first time in some while and perhaps in the history of the game that a player was given a, base on balls when the pitcher actually threw fewer than four balls. The play occurred in the seventh inning of a game with St. Louis. Cobb was on second and Mitchell pitching for St. Louis was trying to catch Ty off the bag. Pipp had already been given two wide ones.
 Mitchell threw repeatedly to second in an effort to catch Cobb and he was only delaying the game. Umpire Evans told hi into pitch to the batter. Mitchell continued to eye Cobb and hold the ball. Evans pulled out his watch, and after repeating his order to throw to the batter several times told Mitchell he'd call another ball. Mitchell still emulated a wax works. Whereupon Evans called the third ball and Mitchell threw another wide one giving Pipp his base and only three balls pitched.

BLOOMER GIRLS
 WERE MEN so MOB CHASED THEM AWAY

Washington, July 21-One policeman is in a hospital, two others are nurs- ing bruises and awaiting new uniforms and part of the Union League baseball park is wreck today as the result Of a riot at a, Sunday baseball game when 5000 enthusiasts discovered that a team of "bloomer'' girls were really men in disguise. The team was taken to an east bound train under police protection. A half hour before the storm broke, the manager of the girls aggregation had acquired the gate receipts and disappeared.
 The team was so successful here four weeks ago that it returned for a sec ond appearance, the opposing team be- ing an amateur organization from Lau- rel, Md. The trouble star ted when the girls centerfielder, a husky gqa2ng blonde, threw a ball from deep center to home plate catching the runner. The specta tors grew suspicious.
 A moment later 8, small boy slipped up behind the supposed divinity that presided at third base and gave her golden locks a vigorous pull. They came away in the form of a wig, re- vealing a chunky young man with an elaborate makeup ending just above his eyebrows. The team fled through a storm of bottles and bricks to the shelter of the club house where the police nassed.
 The crowd then stormed the ticket windows demanding their money back. venting their ire on the park property. Several persons were hurt in the me-. lee and a. number of arrests were made

JOHN J. EvERs, GREATEST
 OF TROJANs, IS 30 TODAY

Greatest of all the Trojans Is John J. Evers. Even the famous Helen, who started the first collar factory fin Troy, or did something to break into history, ranks second to John T. 3iu the affection of Tpo5ans.
 The present peerless leader o65Glrs Chicago Cubs was born in Troy- 1T.s r., thirty years ago today, July 21, 1883. and, if Trojans could do it, theyrVaould have the d5afte d5afte sfffS5 sfffaSGl59rsd 2 legai1 holi-j
 Troy was.nnaae Tafs5us bg fAstooTlar factories and by the publicity given to the town by a fellow named Homer, who used to be employed as a press agent by the commercial club. This Homer had an imagination like Doe Cooks, and the yarns he. sent out were so good that the city ed1toFsl1ust had to print 'em. As long as Homer was on the job Troy got on the front page as regularly as Winsted, Conn., does now. When this peerless pub Hcity promoter went to his rewaHd- and one hates to think what the re- ward of a press agent might be-the Trojans had to think up a new stunt They finally decided to organize a ball team, which they called the Haymak- CTS. Clad in. overaIls and homespun shirts, and most of them playing with their tootsies bare, they looked like a bunch of rubes, but they played rings around some of the big city clubs. and broke into the National League for a time.
 Eventually the National League moguls made Troy a whistling station and then the Trojans pulled the brightest publicity stunt of all.
 They had John J. Eyers born in Troyi
 Johnny started his baseball career as manager, so he wasn't up against a, new proposition when Mister Mur- phy appointed him manager of the Bear Cats. Evers managed a "kid' team in Troy, and paid his men from twenty-five to fifty cents a week for Sunday games. Johnny admits that 1t wasn't a paying proposition, and that he lost money by the venture. Financial hard luck still hounds his footprints, according to Mister 1Iur- phy, who says he made EVers- man ager because he is a poor man and would work hard for his salary.
 Evers commenced his professional career as s11ortstop on the Troy team of the New York State League in 1902, and in the Fall of that year was called to Chicago.

Johnny Barron of this city is pitch ing good ball for Fall River, Mass. He recently let Lowell down with three hits and beat them by 8 to 1. When McCann was manager of the Bridgeport club he traded Barron to Lowell for Blum. Lowell released the youngster but he caught on with Fall River.
 Another former Eastern twir1er who is going fine in the New England league is Lew Thomas, who was sent tC, Worcester by New Haven. He is beating all corners and is regarded as one of the best hur1ers in the league.
 Outfie1der Keegan, who was recalled from the Twin-State league by Spring field, has been loaned to Meriden. It turn Infielder Crowther over to the Silver City crowd.
 A crowd of 2OO0 saw a, game at Mer- iden yesterday when Springfield beat the home club by to 2.
 The Pittsfeld club will be here to- morrow for a two day series. The E1ectrtcs trimmed New Haven Satur- day and are planning to take a couple from Bridgeport. Manager Cross will probably use Roberta1l1e against the invaders
 Gene McCann is full of pepper these days His team whitewashed Water bury yesterday and Gene danced around on the lines giving Sam Ken nedy the laugh. If McCann can per suade Pitcher Freddy Rieger to return to the club, he will have a chance of landing the Planters higher in the race.

CONNIE MACK KNOWS
 WHEN PLAYERS WEAKEN

Philadelphia, July 21-How many of the players who now make up the Connie Mack capable Athletic machine will go over the baseball falls this season?
 In less than year and a half Mack has been compelled to make many changes in the lineup which brought the 1911 worlds championship to Phil adelphia But he has been able to foresee the weakening. spots and had the new men ready to take their places, making changes so that no harm was done the chances of Phila- delphia to pull down the bunting
 An instance of Comics foresight in this regard came in the sale of Paddy Livingston to the Cleveland club Six months before Paddy was let out by Connie that clever manager, in sign ed magazine article. declared that tne coming season would be the last for one of his capable catcherG-that this player was gradually losing his throw ing power And when Livingston was let out Jack Lapp had been so well trained in the Mack school of baseball that he stepped right into Paddy's g shoes.
 Of the 1911 worlds championship winners Mack has cut loose the fol- lowing: Outhe1ders Hartsel and Br1s Lord. Catcher Livingston, Pitchers Morgan; Danforth, Long, Martin Krause and Russell and Utility ln- fielder Derrick.
 HartseI, after long years of service under Connie, is now managing the Toledo club. Lord drifted to the min ors and is now back in the majors for his fourth chance at big league ball. This time he is with the Boston Ma tionals. Paddy Livingston is catching occasionally for Toledo.
 Cy Morgan whose good work did much in winning two flags for Connie, is now pitching for the Kansas City club. Krause is with the Portland club of inc Pacific Coast league; Danforth is hurling for Jack Dunn's. Baltimore club and Derrick is now with Balti- more.
 How many of those now making up the philadelphia regulars will drop out after this season? And will Connle have the men to take their placesE

JIM CORBETT HAS
 SULLIVAN'S TOOTH
Memento of Great Ring EncOun- ter Saved by New York
 Dentist

James J. Corbett, the actor, saw a memento last night of his battle with John L. Sullivan, when he won the worlds heavyweight championship at New Orleans. It was a tooth which he loosened in the jaw of the former champion. and which has since been preserved by @ New York dentist nam ed Smith.
 Corbett, who was recently elected an Honorary member Of the Beechhurst t Yacht club, at Whitestone, L. l.. which includes a number of theatrical peo- pie in it's membership, was invited over from his Summer home at Bay side last night as the guest of honor at a dinner in the clubhouse and pre- scented with a gold card of member ship. One of the members, who had obtained the loan of the tooth from the dentist, surprised Corbett after the latter had related some incidents of the fight, by showing him the sou7 venir.
 It appears that Sullivan had the tooth filled with silver previous to the fight. After it became loosened he had 1t pulled. The dentist was per mitted to keep the tooth, which he had engraved: John L. Sullivan, 1S92.''
