S, ,OOO STAKE ON
 THE GRAND CIRCUIT

Cleveland, July 10-The $5,o00 stake, the richest of the local Grand Circuit meeting with the execution of the Tavern, which is estricted to anna teur drivers, is the chief event on today's card.
 A field of twelve will take the word for this race, which went last year to A. s. Rodney of Jersey Utty, driv- ing Baden. A record of 2:o6 1-4 was sent by Lewis Forest and Belvasia for the event in 1911. Rodney's entry, Baron De1fray, is one of the favor ties, race this year.
 The other big attraction is the cham pionship pacing sweepstakes, which usually furnishes the fastest racing of the meeting. Independence Boy, in 1911, set mark of 2:011 1-2 for the event This year Evely W. Don Dens- more and Early. Jr., are the only en- tries left. Evelyn w, won the race last year and was fourth in the event in 1911, when Early, Jr., won. Don Densmore finished fourth last year.
 It is evident that the sweepstakes is largely a matter of guesswork or sentiment.
 The 2:14 class trot and the 2:15 class pace make up the rest of the program of what may be considered the biggest day of the meeting. Yesterday's show CT only. aided the ground keepers in keeping the big oval in prime condi- ton, and if the wind is not too strong fast time is assured.

ART SlMMS, FORMER
 RING STAR, IS CRAZY
By T. s. Andrews. ,

It seems only a few years back that Art Simms, the star lightweight of Akron, O., was in the midst of his glory-a fine looking young man and one who had many friends all through the middle west To-day lie is for gotten and an inmate of the state in- sane asylum at Massilion, O..
 Last week when the announcement appeared in some of the papers that 'Art Simms had been committed to the insane asylum at Massilion, O, no one ever gave it a second thought. Few, indeed, thought 1t was the same Simms, the debonair young man who only a short period before had been attracting the attention of all the sporting men of Chicago and other Western cities. But 1t was the same Simms, who had amused thousands of fans by his clever sparring at some of the biggest halls in the country and who at one time looked like the next lightweight champion.
 Back in 1S95-6 when Lou House man was running boxing shows at Tat tersa1ls in Chicago, Art Simns was matched up with a Chicago lad for the semi-finaL He made good from the start and not long after was matched with Ole Olsen, considered one of the best of the 13s pounders and not far behind Benny Yanger, who was star those days. Art fought Olsen and he put up a grand battle, using his cleverness against the rough shod methods of the stronger boy It resulted in many bouts for the Akron lad and he hourished for a time, having plenty of matches and plenty of money. Like many other young men he spent freely, but 1t must be said that Simms was not a drinker and he always liked to help those at home.
 It was partly through Art Simnns that Battling Nelson was brought into the nme1ight in 1904. Bat had pre- viously been matched before the Bad ger A. c. of Milwaukee with Jack O'Nei1l, the Philadelphia star, whom he beat, and the people began to take notice of him. Then came his match with Art Simms before the Milwau- kee Athletic club patrons. This was on January 16, 1904, and Bat put the Akron boy away in three rounds. That helped to make Nelson and it was then that he headed west under the careful guidance of Teddy Murphy. Nelson climbed to the top of the lad der of hstic fame while Simms went the other way. The end came last week when he was committed to the insane asylum. It is a sad ending and it is only hoped that he may yet be restored to his normal self.

LOCALS DEFEAT
 WATERBURY CLUB
 BY GOOD HITTING
(By Wagner.)

Ever since s1apper Sam Kennedy and Three Card Monte Cross had those bitter words over a ball they have been anxious to show each other up on the diamond. Last week during one of the diamond battles at New field, Catcher Nagelson of Waterbury e1oped with the ball after Bridgeport had sneaked a game away from the SlapperS in the ninth. The boss Slap per refused to affirm or deny that he had seen the Victor going south, so the genial Monte baw1ed him out for petty larceny, arson and running a ball club without a license.
 So Samuel thought he'd play it safe yesterday by sending his best hurIer, Williams, to the pilot house. Will Hams is from Toledo of the American association and he always wears a ten cent piece of fine cut in his cheek when on duty. Williams was tapped for 12 blows and he was also the vic tim of a two base huff by Outf1elder NHauger, which allowed three of the Crossmen to batter home in the fourth making the score, Bridgeport 6, Wa terbury 8.
 Monte crossed the enemy by work ing Chic Robertaille, the constable of Cohees, N. Y. Chic has to laugh when he mentions his fast ball but he used his slow one with fatal effect yesterday. Eleven visitors got on the sacks but only three reached home. RobertailIe did not pass a man and famed only one so the ffe1ders had to hustle.
 The locals played errorIess ball. Stow and Bowman were there with the daylight robbery stuff and Capt. McGamwel1 saved Stow from two errors by fine pickups of low throws. Jake Bou1tes, Stow. and Promo Si1zer led at the bat with two hits each. Sil- ger went to center in place of Quincy Adams who was laid low by appendi- citfs.
 Bridgeport got three in the second on singles by Russell, Silzer, Rober- taille and Stow and Bowman's sacri- flee. In the fourth hits by Shea and Stow and a pass to Flanagan filled the bases. Then Hauger muffed BouItes' fly after a run and the decks were cleared for three runs. The score:

CHANGES IN AMERICAN
 LEAGUE CLUBS BOOKED
Rrffalo Enquirerl

Detroit, July 1o1That managerial heads in the American league will fall is not unlikely. Rumor has fastened on three in the persons of George Stovall, Joe Birmingham and Jake StalaI The Ferguson incident, when Stovau was suspended, brought the ax very near to Brother, but back Of that were reasons that were not made pub lie at the time and have not been.
 The three games taken from Detroit helped Sfova1l more than a, little, for 1t was the position of the team and the way it was going that weighed more than anything else with the owner. Robert Hedges saw his Browns win here and that may have been one of the reasons why he has since denied that StovalI was to be shipped.
 Ban Johnson has never been friend ly to StovaH nor has George held the most cordial feelings of good will to- ward the president of the league. Sto- wall did not better his position by openly siding with the striking Tigers year ago, and it was freely predicted at the time that he had forfeited his chance of managing the Browns This did not prove to be the case, but he certainly did not endear himself to Big Ban.
 Birminghan's trouble is that he has made the Maps too aggressive. In his efforts to put fight in theteam he has overdone the thing. but now promises to work with his foot on the soft pedal so that all may still be we'll

NEW TRIAL ORDERED
 IN ANNA GOULD CASE
 BY TRIBUNAL OF ROTA

Rome, July 10=The GironaIs d'Italia says that the Tribunal of the Rota, acting as a court of Appeals, has reversed the Judgment of the lower Vatican court in the suit brought by Comte Boni de Castellane for the in validation of his marriage to Anna Gould and has ofdered a new trial
 The suit brought by Comte Bonf de Castellane for the annulment of his marriage to Anna Gould. now the wife of the Due de Talleyrand-P Perigord. the Counts cousin, was decided against him by the lower Vatican court on December g, 1911. The Count based his suit on the assertion that his wife did not regard the marriage as indissoluble an1 had talked of divorce in the first three years of their married life. She denied this and de- clared that when she was married she was too young to think of divorce.
 In the Counts appeal against this decision he pointed out that several members of the Gould family are di- vorced, that she was 21 years old at the time of her marriage and there fore not too young to think of divorce and moreover that she regarded her divorce from the Count as sufficiently valid to permit her to marry again, thus showing that she did not look on marriage as indissolubIe.
 Count Boni won on this plea The judgment was not published, but it is known that the court commented un- favorably on the attitude of the Ouch ess and that the decision against her was due largely to her second mar riage. The Duchess entered an ap- peal, which has just been decided in her favor.

The Bridgeport club might have had @Outfe1der BeaIs Becker, formerly of the Giants, but for one thing. The management couldn't pay his salary unless they fired about four other men. Manager Cross wrote Manager Dooin of the Philadelphia, Nationals the other day and asked for some players. Dooin replied that he would send Becker and Miller to Bridgeport but he was afraid their salaries would be too much. Manager Cross says he has landed an outfeIder, who former Iy played with the Boston. Red Sox. The new man, will be here Monday. Is it Hoey of Waterbury?

 Jimmy sheckard, the former Chi cago outfielder now with Cincinnati, says Frank Chance couldn't be blamed for getting First Baseman Borton for Hal Chase Borton looked great while playing with the White Sox against the Cubs in the post season series and Chance thought he was a wonder.

 It is said that Hank O'Day, the National league umpire, is seriously i'll in Chicago. He is suffering from stomach trouble.
 Manager Cross shifted the Bridge port batting list yesterday and the boys improved with the willow. One Hoss Shea, who has been very weak, went down to seventh and he mana aged to get two bagger in the third when Nash dropped his Texas 1eaguer after a hard run. Jake Bou1tes. pro- noted to third place, celebrated the occasion by getting on bases four times. Twice on clean hits and twice by errors.
