 but in the second and sixth the Elec-

Sdl2er saved the game for the visitors in the seventh inning by catching a line drive from Burton. 1t was a fine run ming catch and prevented a. tie game The game was rep1ete with fine plays, most of which were contributed by the Electrios. In the second inn ing Barrenkamp picked Boultes off first in fine style and in the fourth Bridges did likewise to the same play
 CT on a beauty throw. Pfttsf1eld had
 two fast double plays and the first was a corlzer, Mccarthy. who joined the club today, caught BowFnanaS

 the fans to their feet and Mccarthy

 hit in the fifth by stabbing the ball with his bare hand as 1t was passing over third base and recovering in time to throw the man out Burton also came through with fine catch in the ninth, when he pulled down Sdlzer's fly that was labelled a two-bagger.
 Bridgeport started off much the same as the day before. Stow punched a single through the. inf1e1d to left and Bowman hit safely through Chief Mil 1er's position Stow respected Wolfe's arm and remained on second, how ever.

HOW ENGLISHMEN
 LOST POLO GAME
Capt. Miller Admits He Blew Whistle Before BritOnS
 Scored

Hsz42ng the dinner which August Belmont gave the members of the American and English polo teams and ene members of the Polo Association at the Meadow Brook Club on Monday night. it was learned that Capt. B. D. Miller, the field umpire for the Eng fish team, was the man who blew the whistle which stopped the game when Cant. Lockett made the foul cross that cost the English team half Q goal and the loss of the second match in the international polo series on Saturday last.
 It seems that after Capt Lockett had made his foul cross, H. F. Whit ney was close enough to the ball to cut it back and send it away from the zone of the goal post. He had his maIIet raised ready to strike 1t when he heard the whistle. Knowing that the game was stopped he did not con- ttnue to play. It was after MT. Whit news failure to strike the ball that Capt Cheape picked 1t up and made the goal But of course as it was made after the whistle. Capt Miller would not allow it In both cases, in the matter of the foul cross and the goal. Capt. Miller ruled against his own teammates
 And it was his decision that cost the English team a victory in the second game.

PELKEY EXPECTS
 TO GET OFF EASY
Heavyweight Champion Writes to New Haven Friend Tel
 ling of Bout

Arthur Pelkey. the present holder ship of the world, writes an interest ing letter to a New Haven friend whose name is withheld in which he philosophizes upon the recent affair in which he participated. The mod est, unassuning nature of the com munication is characteristic of the man. Pelkey Is now in Calgary, AL berta, Can. Among other things he says:
 'I am as well as can be expected, considering the sad affair of May 24. l am very sorry over the way it ended. l confidently expected to win, but l would rather have lost a hundred times than have such an accident hap pen to poor Luther McCarty. He was a fine young man-onIy a boy, in fact. I would gladly give up the championship, and even boxing for ever, if the poor chap was only alive again. I was almost stunned when they told me he was dead. I could not believe it.
 'Well,-I was then exonerated by the coroner's jury but I was rearrested immediately afterwards by the Crown authorities, and held for high court. which I expect will be held this month some time. I hope to be e9c- onerated again, as I am sure I was not the cause of his death. There is no one more sorry that he has gone than am. Well. if I am free, I ex- pect to be in New Haven in July, and will call and see all my old friends

IRON MASK WlNS
 TOBOGGAN HANDICAP

Harry Payne Whitney's brown geld ing Iron Mask. by Disguise, out of Royal Rose, demonstrated that he is the king of the sprinters at present by his really high-class performance at Belmont Park yesterday in the Tobog- gan handicap, New York, at three quarters of a mile which he won easily in 1:10, with 13o pounds up.
 This fine showing marked the fastest running which has ever been witness ed for the stake, which has always at tracted the best of the sprinting divis- ion since it's inception at Morris Park, when August Belmont's F1des came down the hill in 1:10 IA. Since then the best mark hung up was that by Paul J. Rainey's De Mund. which did it in Ill with 125 pounds up in 1909 at Belmont Park.

YALE TEAM WINS
 FROM OLD HARVARD

New Haven, June 1e-In a game which was interesting I'D to the very last play when on doubfe play from GdfddIebrook to Cornish, Harvard was apparently prevented from tying the score, the Yale baseball team. ad- n1ittedly the best in years, was threat ened again and again by Harvard and finally won by the score to o. The up before the start of the game, did not go into the box for Harvard, Frye starting and being succeeded by Hitch |cock toward the end of the fourth inning. After Hitchcock went in there was no more hitting or scoring by Yale, and the eight hits were made in four and two-third innings off Frye.
 Gfle pitched good game for Yale and remained throughout the entire game, pulling out of tight. holes, as usual. While he allowed only four hits. he was wild at times and let five men walk.
 In Harvard's half of the ninth inning so much interest still prevailed be- cause of the consistently good playing by Harvard that very few of the spec tators left their seats. There was a good sized Harvard contingent on hand, which kept up cheering when Hitchcock went to bat Hitchcock started out with a hot drive toward left field.
 Though it was a speedy ball Blos- som should have had it. It went straight through his hands and over to Schofeld. Hitchcock got to second base eIiding A great Harvard cheer went up. Then AIsop went out, B1os- som to Riddell. Hitchcock was ap. parently hurt, for osborn took his place as g. runner. Wingate came up to bat and knocked what seemed to be a. beautiful homer toward centre field. Middlebrook made a beautiful running catch. Osborn had started toward third on run and Middlebrook in an accurate throw, got the ball to Cornish before Osborn could get back The delighted grads swept down on the field and had a snake dance. vain Iy endeavoring to carry the players off on their backs.
 Yale's runs were made in the fourth and fifth innings. After Schof1eld had sent a pop fly to Ayres. Blossom made a beautiful two bagger. Riddel1 followed this with a single to right field. Blossom went to tEird,s but the coaches told him not to try to get home, Gannett's throwin was faulty, however, and drew Young from the plate so Blossom tried to get home and was caught, Young to Frye. Rid dell had reached third during the ex- citement and came in on ReiIly's sim gle.

HARVARD WILL GEt
 PREP. SCHOOL STARS

Harvard will not lack very much for athletic material next fall if a canvass conducted among the gromf- nent athletes of twenty-four prepara- tory schools by the Harvard Crimson tends to show which way the wind blows. The answers to the Crimson's questions as to what college the cap tains of the four major athletic teams, baseball, crew, football and track, would enter, showed. a decided prefer ence for. Harvard.
 Athletes of the schools questioned enter college next fall as follows: liar yard, ten baseball captains, six crew captains, eleven football captains and five track captains, a total of thirty two leading athletes; Yale, six base ball captains, no crew captains three football captains and three track cap tains, a total of twelve leading ath- letes; Dartmouth one football cap tain, one crew captain, no football captains and three track captains, a total of five leading athletes; Prince ton, two football captains only; Cor nell, one baseball and one football captain.

 track of the late Luther McCarty, and would have been matched with him, had Luther lived, for the title-that is, the white title. Jess Willard will have to wipe out his defeat by smith before he can get into the running again.
 Talking about Jeannette recalls to my mind a story I heard in New York last fall when I attended the Wells Kennedy fight. It was regard ing Joe's parentage. Joe has the fea- lures of a Spaniard more than a negro and investigation brought to light the fact that he is really not full-b1ood- ed negro. His mother was a white woman of German origin and his fath- CT, according to a physician who knew him we'll, said he was partly Arab; In fact he is more Arabian than negro Dan AcKetrick says it is probably this mixture that makes Joe Sdch a me fellow and such a home body.
 The feeling caused by Jack John sons doings against the colored box CTS will no doubt be eliminated in the case of Jeannette. There is no doubt at all about Jeannette's claim to rec ognition among the top-notch heavy weights He was offered a match with Johnson in Paris, the latter to receive $3O,O00 for his end, but he de- clined, and again when Johnson was offered a match in Australia with Jeannette he preferred to have others. In New York city Joe Jeannette is al- ways sure of a hearty welcome from the fans when he steps into the ring, whether for a contest, simply to be introduced which goes to show that the fellow must have his heart in the right place. The chances are that Joe will be given a show among the heavy weights for a try at the crown, and if actions count for anything he is cer- .A@&A1x dAaAxH1nR of recognition.

SPEAKER ONCE
 WAS FREE AGENT
Red Sox Didn't Think Enough
 of Him to Send Contract

Kansas City, June 19-Can you i'm ag1ne Iris Speaker, Red Sox hero, as a free agent in the baseball world, seek ing employment? Depict, if your i'm agination is able, the rush of the mag mates to the telegraph offices to wire him fabulous offers.
 Alas, it is not the privilege of the star baseball player to be free agent which means that he may sign where he will, at what stipend he is able to secure And Speaker is a star now.
 He was a star a few years ago, when he was a free agent-but the mag mates didn't know 1t.
 George Huff, director of athletics at the University of Illinois, who coaches baseball teams into perennial western championships and SCOUTS the United States in the good old summer time to pick likely players for the Cleveland Americans, in a talk about scouting unearthed this interesting story about the Red Sox wonder.
 The digging up of Speaker, unhon- ored and unsung in Houston, Tex, is one Of the brightest feats of Huff's scouting career, and the Cleveland scout, notably tactiturn when 1t comes to retailing his own glories, confesses to a pardonable pride that he selected Speaker as 8 major leaguer.
 When Hon obtained an option on Speaker only four days remained in which to file his name for a draft in New York. The Texas league has ap- parentIy been cornbed over by the scouts. but no eagl4 eye had discern ed the qualities that were to make Speaker a major league star. Once in a while," remarked Huff, "once fin a very long while, too. the scout lights upon a player who he IS sure Is the goods Contrary to the usual idea, the scout does not load his prospective, recruits with fulsome praise in his report. He says: May be he'n do-that will have to be seen" ," But there are players concerning whom you have no doubts. There are not many. Artie Holman and Ed Reulbach were men like this. And so was Speaker.
 Speaker was drafted for a small price, comparatively, something like $500. by Boston. for whom was scouting at that time. He did we'll enough to have as a rival one Thoney, for whom a fancy price was paid.
 Now that meant that Thoney's per- formances would be viewed with more or less rose-colored spectacles. That isy the men who paid hhe 6noney selves. At the end of the season Speakers light was more or less dim. When 1t came to sending out con tracts within the specified time, he was forgotten by the Boston club. Speaker received no word. He was worried
 '"The required time passed-no con- tract. He was a free agent, He set about looking for a berth, dispatch1ng many wires. Anyone could have snap ped him up in that interim. Finally Boston bethought itself of its near dis card and sent him to Little Rock He burned up the. Southern league and quickly came back to Boston"
 Speaker was a free agent for two weeks or more. The last time Huff and the Red Sox outhelder met they talked about this incident Speaker remembered well how much he feared he was not going to land berth.
