NEW MANAGER FOR BRIDGEPORT
 CLUB TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON
Statements by M'Cann and Owner Freeman
 Regarding Sudden Change

raWest deal ever pulled off in base ball. said the erstvhfle manager "I hsave been 1nere three years and have never finished lower than third. Then just because the club mad a bad week there is a big kick
 The whole trouble was that Free Tan kept interfering with me. He was always running to me and telling me how to handle the team He wanted to have this one player released and somebody else shifted in the batting order. After a losing game he would get sore and want to know why I didn't get rid Of some men who hap pened to make a few errors"
 Before the season started he was sore because Stow was holding out. He wanted me to fine Stow $2OO and play F1annery at shortstop. I knew F'lannery couldn't hit so I refused to fine Stow. Other little things were always cropping out. If the players see that somebody else is putting in they won't hustle for the 1nanager.'' 9
 What hurst me more than anything else is the fact that I gave up two or three offers from other clubs last year in order to stay here. I like Bridgeport and didn't want to change and I supposed Freeman would give me notice if he wasn't satisfied At this time of the season I wod1l dn' t go gunning for another managers job. People have suggested that several clubs in this league could use my ser vices but I am not worrying about that
 McCann came here in 1910 and since then has finished twice in second place and third last season. He had a long career as a pitcher in the Brooklyn club of the National league and with the International league teams. Later he acted as manager Of Jersey City f-JI1 Americans
 Owner Freeman's course Of action will be watched with interest He is a liberal spender and will undoubtedly do his utmost to put a winner into this city.

HEALTH OF THE STATE
Big Inroads During May-New Laws Passed.

Hartford, June 16-A review of health legislation by the last general assembly is given by Secretary Town send in the May report of the state board Of health issued today. It says:
 The marriage law, was amended so that thereafter when both contracting parties are non-restdents of the town where the license fs applied for, the registrar cannot issue the license until five days after the application. This is 3, good law and will limit the mar riage traffic now going on with our neighboring states which already have such 1a;w.''
 Regret is expressed at the failure of the bill designed to prevent pollution of streams and tidal waters. This is the most urgent sanitary question in the state today. The act concerning g the keeping of food products in cold storage places the matter in charge of the State Board of Health which will make rules and regulations.
 Tn May, there were, 1,425 deaths or 78 less than in April and 19 more than in May, last year The percentage for the state was 147. Deaths from infec- tious diseases were 13.4 percent of the whole There vas little typhoid in the state only 45 cases being reported and 8 deaths. Pneumonia claimed 152 and consumption sz.

PICK HARVARD TO
 BEAT YALE CREW
Trial by Crimson Indicates That Cambridge OarSmen Are
 Fast

New London. Conn.,, June 16.-The Harvard and Yale crews rested from their training yesterday and enjoyed sailing trips on Long Island Sound. Practice for the remainder of the week will be of the lightest character, so that the oarsnen may be in the best of condition for the regatta on Friday
 Everything points to one of the closest races in recent years, with the Crimson a slight favorfte- Harvard s varsity crew up to Saturday was gen. orally rated as somewhat below the standard; but the fast time made over the course in a time row Saturday night demonstrates that Jim Wray has a crew fully up to the standard, if not better than usual The feat of going over the course ii 20:14-within four seconds of the record made back in 1SSS-has caused Harvard's stock to take a sudden jump.
 Yale admittedly has one of the best crews that has represented the Blue in years The men row in fine form. but whether they have mastered the new English stroke sufficiently well to beat Harvard is a question that only race day can decide.
 The four-oared- and freshman crews of the two universities appear to be evenly matched.

(Rx Waenerl

Owner John H. Freeman of the Bridgeport baseball club stated this morning that he would have a new manager for the club in a very short time. He has been negotiating with three experienced baseball men and ex- poets to close a deal soon. He did not go to Pittsheld with the boys this morning but left the team in charge of Capt McGamweM.
 Accounts of the happenings which Led up to McCann's sudden resigna- tion differ but this is one of the causes. Owner Freeman had been kicking because the manager did not use vandegrift behind the bat. Mo Cam said on Saturday that he would use Vandy Sunday. That was agreeable to the owner but he was annoyed when McCann suddenly switched and sent vandegrift behind the bat Sat urday.
 After the game Owner Erenrnan waited for McCann in the box office and asked him why he used Vande- grift after he had declared he would not play him until the following day. McCann claimed he changed his plans because Russell wasn't feeling very epry and wanted to be relieved. Well, I guess I'll handle this club myself after this,'' said the owner. There was nothing for McCann to do but step aside.
 Owner Freeman when seen this morning declared, ''I let McCann go hecal1ee he wasn't producing results. I don't pretend to be a baseball ex- pert but my money is invested in this club and I want to have something to say when things are going bad as they were last week It is a matter of local pride with me. want to give the people a, live ball club and I am willing to spend the money to do it. There will be a new manager here in a few days and expect to see the club fighting for the pennant.''
 A delegation of scribes waited upon McCann this morning and he gave his version of the affair. 'fIt was the

BRIDGEPORT WINS
 UPHILL CONTEST Great Playing by Stow and Bow man Enables Locals to Beat
 New London
Ry Wagnero

It was ''Uncle Toms Cabin minus Simon Legree McCann yesterday and a large audience gathered at New field park to see how the performance would go. The great Siberian blood hounds and Eliza crossing the ice were still in the picture so Bridgeport tore through New London for a, to 4 vic tory in 12 innings
 The audience was curious to observe how the team would act without Mo- Cam but no difference could be no- ticed except that the genial ones 1loarse cries of distress in times of trouble could not be heard issuing from the bench. It was good game for Bridgeport to win, particularly with the handicap of bad pitching while Robertaille was on the slab.
 Blossom Blum, who succeeded Rob- by, did we'll after he got his bearings and held the Planters runless after the fifth. He was accorded brilliant support. Stow made a spectacular leap in the air for Nealon's liner in the 12th and Bowman turned In a great stop of Rocks hot grounder m the seventh.
 Vandy Vandegrift made his second appearance behind the bat. The vet eran looked like a. thousand dollar bill, if there is any such money. He stead jed Blum and was strong with the bat Tn addition to his fielding Bob Stow was a terror on the bases. He got two passes, both of which he con verted into runs by wild da,shes around the paths and he also delivered a mt. He stole two bases.
 Freddy Reiger, who won eight straight in the early part of the sea- son, pitched a good game but had a spasm of wildness in the fifth He uncorked a. wild pitch which gave a run and an error by Johnson worried him. Then singles by Boa1ltes Silzer and Bowman were inserted so as to form three runs. The Planters had previously led by to 1 and the fans felt happy when tine score was tied.
 Then the teams battled until the 18th. Stow got a pass after Blum had gone out Bob hit out for second and when Foye's throw rolled into the field, tl.e runner took third. Bowman smash ed a single thr ough bhe inheld, SCOT ing the winning tally. The score:

HARVARD CLASHES
 WITH YALE BALL TEAM AT NEW HAVEN

Boston, June 16-The 1ong-Stau udfng rivalry between Harvard and Yale will be in evidence again on the baseball diamond, this week, as the cuInninat- ing feature of the season among the eastern colleges Yale, after playing noInenaI success, brings to the annual series with Harvard almost clear title to the eastern intercollegiate championship. Even victory by the crimson can shake but 1dttle in the opinion of many followers of the col lege game, the blues claims to the eastern honors. Such a victory, how ever would put the Harvard team in to consideration for second ranking although the Pennsylvania defeat, Sat- urday, weakened somewhat the strength of the crimson bid for place
 Brown, conceded second position up to Saturday, left that place open to dispute by the loss of two Holy Cross Games and result experts were inclined, today, to consider Holy Cross as entitled to second choice.
 The Yale nine will take the field at New Haven on Tuesday as favorites over the Crimson, although faith in the cunning Of Felton, the Southpaw twir1er, has given the Cambridge sup Toorters hope of success. The second game will be played on Wednesday, at Cambridge.
 The blues record for the season which will close with this series, is a remarkable one, including new in tercolIeigate achievement of winning 15 consecutive games. Of 26 games played with college mines. Yale lost only two, one an early season defeat by Pennsylvania, later retrieved and one to Williams a, few weeks ago when the team was in a temporary slump. Harvard has no such important record having lost six games out of a score played with college hines. The liar ward squad left for New Haven, to- da1k
